Modern Slavery Statement for Flower Delivery Kidbrooke
Our Zero Tolerance Policy on Modern Slavery
Flower Delivery Kidbrooke stands firmly against all forms of modern slavery, including human trafficking, forced labour, and child exploitation. As a trusted florist in the Kidbrooke community, providing floral arrangements to local households and businesses, we recognise our responsibility to uphold the highest ethical standards. Our zero tolerance policy applies not only to our direct operations but also to our entire supply chain. We strive to ensure that no aspect of our work contributes, directly or indirectly, to modern slavery or human rights abuses.
Supplier Due Diligence
We recognise that ethical sourcing is essential in the floral industry. To this end, we perform careful due diligence when selecting suppliers of flowers, packaging, and related products. All suppliers are expected to adhere to our ethical policies and demonstrate compliance with UK legislation, particularly the Modern Slavery Act 2015. We require transparency about labour practices and sourcing, and we may request supporting evidence or conduct risk assessments where appropriate. Any supplier found in violation of our modern slavery standards faces the possibility of immediate termination of business relations.
Staff Training and Awareness
Flower Delivery Kidbrooke is committed to ensuring that all staff, from frontline florists to management, recognise the signs of modern slavery and understand their responsibilities in combatting it. We provide targeted training sessions upon induction and refresher programmes on a regular basis. By raising awareness among our employees, we empower them to identify and respond appropriately to any concerns, whether these arise internally, with delivery partners, or within our extended supply chain.
Reporting Channels
We have established clear and confidential channels for raising concerns related to modern slavery. Any staff member or business partner who suspects unethical or illegal practices is encouraged to come forward without fear of retaliation. Reports are handled sensitively and may trigger an internal investigation or prompt us to seek guidance from relevant authorities where necessary. We believe early detection and action are critical in preventing and addressing modern slavery within our business operations.
Continuous Improvement and Annual Review
Preventing modern slavery requires vigilance and a commitment to continuous improvement. We review our policies, supplier practices, and staff training annually to adapt to changes in regulations and industry best practice. During each review period, we assess the effectiveness of our approach and seek feedback to strengthen our processes. Our management team is responsible for ensuring that our modern slavery commitments are upheld and that our statement is updated and communicated to all stakeholders.
Our Responsibility to the Kidbrooke Community
As a prominent florist serving Kidbrooke’s households and businesses, Flower Delivery Kidbrooke understands the importance of trust within our community. Upholding our modern slavery policy is an integral part of our promise to act as a responsible and ethical business partner. We welcome collaboration with clients, suppliers, and community members to help create a safer, fairer environment for all.
This statement has been approved by management and will be reviewed on an annual basis to ensure ongoing alignment with our company values and the expectations of those we serve.
