As a trusted florist serving Edgware’s households and businesses, Flower Delivery Edgware takes its ethical and legal responsibilities seriously, including the prevention of all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. Our zero tolerance stance is integral to maintaining the trust placed in us by our customers, employees, and the local community. This statement outlines the actions we have taken and continue to take to combat modern slavery within our operations and supply chains.
Modern slavery encompasses slavery, servitude, human trafficking, and forced labour. Flower Delivery Edgware maintains a zero tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery or exploitation, whether direct or indirect. We are committed to ensuring there is no modern slavery within our business and, to the best of our ability, within our supply chains. The ethical treatment of every individual forms a core value guiding all our decisions and practices.
Our flowers and associated products are sourced through approved suppliers who are required to adhere to ethical labour standards. We conduct rigorous due diligence when selecting suppliers, prioritising those who demonstrate a clear commitment to human rights and fair employment practices. Before working with any supplier, we assess their compliance with modern slavery legislation and expect documented evidence of anti-slavery standards in their practices. We reserve the right to terminate contracts with suppliers who breach these obligations.
All staff at Flower Delivery Edgware are made aware of the risks and signs of modern slavery through regular training sessions. This training reinforces our zero tolerance policy and empowers our employees to identify and address any potential risks. Our team is encouraged to act responsibly and with vigilance in all dealings, whether interacting with suppliers, partners, or members of the public.
We actively encourage a culture of openness within our organisation. Staff and stakeholders are urged to report any suspicions or evidence of modern slavery linked to our business or supply chain. Reports are treated with utmost confidentiality and are investigated promptly and thoroughly by our management. No employee will suffer any detriment for raising genuine concerns in good faith, and we strive to protect whistleblowers from any form of retaliation.
This statement is reviewed annually to ensure that it remains relevant and effective in identifying, mitigating, and eliminating risks of modern slavery. We continuously monitor and refine our policies, procedures, and training in line with best practices and feedback from staff and stakeholders. We also evaluate the performance of our suppliers and update our expectations as standards evolve.
Our dedication to eradicating modern slavery reflects Flower Delivery Edgware’s responsibility as a florist relied upon by local households and businesses. We will continue to uphold the highest ethical standards so that our customers can trust that the beauty we deliver is never at the cost of someone’s freedom or dignity. Together with our staff, suppliers, and community, we remain committed to ensuring our business is free from modern slavery in every form.
