Our Modern Slavery Statement – Flower Delivery Amersham

Introduction and Our Commitment

At Flower Delivery Amersham, we believe that every individual deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses throughout Amersham, we recognize our social responsibility to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our business and supply chains. We are dedicated to upholding the highest ethical standards and ensuring transparency in our operations.

Our Zero Tolerance Policy

Flower Delivery Amersham maintains a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labor, and child labor. We do not condone, permit, or accept such practices under any circumstances, whether direct or indirect. All directors, employees, and suppliers are required to comply with this policy, and we expect the same commitment from every organization or individual with whom we do business.

Supplier Due Diligence and Risk Assessment

The quality of our flowers and the welfare of those who help produce them are vitally important to us. We conduct thorough due diligence when selecting and reviewing suppliers. Our process includes assessing potential risks for modern slavery, evaluating supplier policies and practices, and requiring confirmations of compliance with labor laws. We favor partnerships with suppliers who demonstrate strong ethical commitments and regularly review our relationships to ensure ongoing compliance. Where risks are identified, we work collaboratively to implement appropriate mitigation measures or, where necessary, terminate relationships with non-compliant suppliers.

Staff Training and Awareness

We provide training for all staff to ensure they understand the signs and risks of modern slavery and human trafficking. This includes how to recognize potential indicators and the procedures for reporting concerns. By empowering our team with knowledge, we strengthen our ability to spot and prevent unethical practices both within Flower Delivery Amersham and in our supply chain.

Reporting Channels and Support

We encourage all staff, suppliers, and clients to report any suspicions or incidents relating to modern slavery or human trafficking. Reports can be made confidentially and without fear of retaliation. We are committed to thoroughly investigating and addressing all reports. Our management team reviews all concerns carefully, taking swift and decisive action when necessary to address issues and protect affected individuals.

Ongoing Review and Continuous Improvement

Modern slavery risks are ever-evolving. That is why we review this statement and our related policies annually, ensuring that Flower Delivery Amersham remains vigilant and responsive to new developments and challenges. We assess the effectiveness of our processes, identify areas for improvement, and implement changes as required to reinforce our commitment to ethical business.
