Flower Delivery Nunhead’s Modern Slavery Statement
Introduction
Flower Delivery Nunhead takes its responsibilities seriously as a trusted supplier of floral arrangements to households and businesses across Nunhead. As part of our ongoing commitment to transparency and ethical business practices, we have prepared this Modern Slavery Statement to outline the actions we take to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and our supply chains.
Our Zero Tolerance Policy
We maintain a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking in any part of our business or supply chains. We recognise that the global floral industry can have risks associated with unethical labour practices, and we are fully committed to ensuring that such abuses have no place in our operations. This policy is central to our values as a local Nunhead florist and guides all of the decisions we make in sourcing and delivering flowers to our valued customers.
Supplier Due Diligence
Recognising that the majority of risks concerning modern slavery occur within supply chains, we undertake careful and ongoing due diligence when selecting suppliers. We only work with suppliers who share our commitment to ethical sourcing and transparent labour practices. Before entering into agreements, we assess their compliance through questionnaires, requesting documentation regarding their own anti-slavery initiatives, and, where appropriate, seeking external certifications. Regular reviews are conducted to ensure adherence to our standards. Where risks or concerns are identified, we will take prompt and decisive action, including terminating supplier relationships if necessary.
Staff Training and Awareness
We believe that informed and vigilant team members are essential for upholding our zero tolerance commitment. All Flower Delivery Nunhead staff receive training on the identification of modern slavery risks, including recognising warning signs and understanding the actions to take if suspicions arise. Our training is reviewed annually to ensure it remains thorough and relevant, reflecting any changes to the law or industry best practices. Staff are encouraged to participate in ongoing discussions about labour rights, ethical sourcing, and workplace transparency.
Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing
To maintain the high standards of ethics expected at Flower Delivery Nunhead, we have established clear and accessible channels through which staff and external parties can report concerns involving potential modern slavery, unethical working conditions, or related irregularities. Reports can be made confidentially and will be taken seriously without fear of reprisal. All allegations are investigated promptly and thoroughly in order to ensure swift remediation and accountability wherever necessary.
Annual Review and Continuous Improvement
We review our Modern Slavery Statement and related policies at least once annually, or more frequently if required by legislative developments or significant changes within our supply chain. This regular review process ensures that our practices continue to reflect industry best practice, legal compliance, and our ongoing commitment to protecting human rights within our sphere of influence.
Our Responsibility to the Nunhead Community
As a respected florist serving Nunhead’s local households and businesses, we understand our duty not only to deliver beautiful flowers, but also to ensure that our sourcing and staffing practices are ethical, transparent, and responsible. We remain committed to taking proactive measures in partnership with our staff, suppliers, and the wider community to eradicate any risk of modern slavery from our business operations. By holding ourselves to these high standards, we aim to set a positive example within our industry and our community alike.
