At Flower Delivery Downe, we are dedicated to upholding the highest ethical standards in every aspect of our operations. As a respected florist proudly serving the Downe community's households and businesses, we acknowledge our responsibility to take meaningful steps against modern slavery and human trafficking. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the policies, procedures, and commitments we have in place to ensure that slavery and human trafficking are not present within our business or supply chains.
Flower Delivery Downe has a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, including forced labor, servitude, child labor, and human trafficking. We are unequivocal in our stance: there is no place for exploitation or abuse within our staff, partners, or suppliers. This policy is communicated across all levels of our workforce and to our suppliers, making clear our expectation for ethical conduct at all times.
Our flowers, materials, and services are sourced from carefully selected suppliers who must adhere to our standards of labor rights, safety, and fairness. As part of our due diligence, all new suppliers are required to confirm their compliance with relevant labor laws and our anti-slavery expectations. We assess both local and international suppliers for potential risks related to modern slavery, and maintain ongoing reviews to ensure continued compliance. Any supplier found to be in breach of our requirements will be subject to investigation and, if necessary, immediate termination of the business relationship.
We recognise that awareness is vital in the fight against modern slavery. All Flower Delivery Downe employees receive training on how to recognize signs of exploitation and what action to take if they suspect any issues. We provide resources and guidance so that all staff feel confident in identifying and responding to any concerns related to modern slavery or unethical practices in our business or supply chain.
We encourage openness and transparency within our organization. Staff, customers, and suppliers are encouraged to report any concerns related to modern slavery. We have clear internal reporting procedures that guarantee concerns are treated with seriousness, confidentiality, and without fear of retaliation. Any issues raised will be thoroughly investigated in accordance with our disciplinary and grievance policies.
To ensure our approach remains robust and effective, this Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually by senior management. Through these reviews, we evaluate our progress, identify areas for improvement, and update our procedures in line with current best practices and legislative requirements. Continuous improvement is a cornerstone of our commitment to eliminating the risks of modern slavery.
As a trusted Downe florist serving the local community, Flower Delivery Downe affirms its unwavering commitment to preventing modern slavery in all forms. We will continue to work diligently with our staff, suppliers, and clients to build awareness, encourage transparency, and take decisive action whenever necessary. This statement reflects our ongoing responsibility to our customers, our employees, and the wider community.
