At Flower Delivery Charing Cross, we recognise our ethical and legal duty to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our business. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps we have taken and will continue to take, in ensuring that slavery and human trafficking do not occur within our operations or supply chains. As a trusted Charing Cross florist serving local households and businesses, we are committed to providing a safe, respectful, and ethical environment for all those we work with and serve.
We operate a strict zero tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery, including forced labour, human trafficking, child labour, and exploitation. Every member of our team, from management to part-time staff, understands that any association with practices that breach human rights is entirely unacceptable. Our commitment extends to our relationships with suppliers, contractors, and all other business partners. We will terminate any business relationship where evidence of slavery or trafficking is found.
Recognising the importance of supply chain transparency, we conduct thorough due diligence on all current and potential suppliers. This process includes investigating employment practices, worker welfare, recruitment policies, and compliance with local and international laws regarding human rights. Suppliers are required to provide confirmation that neither they nor their supply chains engage in, or tolerate, any form of modern slavery. Regular assessments are carried out to ensure ongoing compliance, and all contracts clearly convey our expectations and standards regarding ethical conduct.
We believe that informed staff are vital to eliminating the risks of modern slavery. We therefore provide training as part of our induction process and in regular refreshers, ensuring employees and management are equipped to identify potential signs of modern slavery or exploitation. Our training covers the definitions of modern slavery, common indicators, the importance of vigilance, and the appropriate steps to take should concerns arise. Staff are encouraged to raise any concerns and assured they can do so without fear of discrimination or retaliation.
To foster a transparent culture, we provide clear internal reporting channels for staff and stakeholders to confidentially disclose any suspicions of modern slavery or unethical conduct. All concerns raised are treated with the utmost seriousness and investigated thoroughly. We are committed to acting promptly on all reports and to providing support to those who raise concerns in good faith. We reinforce that whistleblowers are protected and their confidentiality is respected throughout any investigative process.
This Modern Slavery Statement is subject to an annual review by our management to ensure its effectiveness and relevance. Updates are made in line with changes to legislation, best practice guidance, and feedback from staff and stakeholders. We believe that eradicating modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility and we are committed to continually strengthening our approach, encouraging open dialogue, and working closely with others in our industry to uphold high ethical standards.
As a florist with deep roots in the Charing Cross area, we take seriously our responsibility to our customers, employees, and the wider community. Our commitment to combatting modern slavery is an integral part of earning and maintaining the trust of local households and businesses, reflecting our values and the high standards we set for ourselves and those we work alongside. We proudly stand against modern slavery and human trafficking and pledge to keep this priority at the heart of everything we do.
