Modern Slavery Statement for Flower Delivery Kilburn

Introduction

Flower Delivery Kilburn is dedicated to operating responsibly, ethically, and transparently in all aspects of our business. As a trusted florist serving the local households and businesses of Kilburn, we understand the importance of our role in combating modern slavery and human trafficking. This statement outlines the measures taken by our company to prevent all forms of slavery within our operations and throughout our supply chain. Our commitment reflects the responsibility we hold towards our valued community and the wider society.

Zero Tolerance Policy

We have a strict zero tolerance policy in place for modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour. Under no circumstances do we accept any forms of exploitation in our business or our supply chains. Every member of our team, from management to front-line staff, is committed to upholding these standards, which are integral to our values and expectations. Any violation of our zero tolerance policy will result in decisive action taken against the offending party, including the termination of business relationships where necessary.

Supplier Due Diligence

As part of our commitment to ethical business practices, we conduct rigorous due diligence on all new and existing suppliers. Before engaging with any supplier, we perform risk assessments, review policies, and request documentation to ensure they share our commitment to preventing modern slavery. Ongoing monitoring helps us ensure continued compliance, and we take immediate steps if we identify areas of concern. We favour working with suppliers who demonstrate transparency within their own operations and are constantly responsive to the evolving standards of ethical sourcing, both locally and globally.

Staff Training and Awareness

To empower our team to identify and challenge modern slavery risks, Flower Delivery Kilburn provides regular, comprehensive training for all staff members. This training covers the types and signs of modern slavery, potential risks within the floral supply industry, and the steps to take if any concerns arise. Staff are encouraged to discuss any uncertainties or relevant observations, ensuring that vigilance and awareness become part of our daily routine. Our commitment to continuous education ensures that our team is knowledgeable and capable of upholding our high standards across all aspects of our work.

Reporting Channels

We have established safe and accessible reporting channels to enable employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders to raise concerns about unethical practices, including modern slavery, in complete confidence. We encourage the use of these channels without fear of retaliation. All reports are investigated thoroughly and appropriately, with corrective actions taken as needed to address any confirmed issues. Our approach is to foster a culture of openness and accountability throughout our business and supply chain.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

Our Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure its continued effectiveness and relevance. We assess our policies, procedures, and supply chain relationships regularly to identify areas for improvement. This ongoing process helps Flower Delivery Kilburn maintain the highest ethical standards and adapt to new risks or emerging best practices. Any changes or updates are communicated to all staff and suppliers promptly, reinforcing our dedication to staying at the forefront of responsible business conduct.

Responsibility to Our Community

Our ongoing commitment to combating modern slavery is one of many ways in which Flower Delivery Kilburn honours the trust placed in us by local households and businesses. We believe that by taking decisive action, sharing knowledge, and promoting ethical conduct, we can help build a safer and more just society for everyone we serve. We invite our customers and partners to join us in supporting fair and humane treatment throughout every link in the floral supply chain.
