At Flower Delivery Shepperton, we recognise our responsibility as a trusted local florist serving households and businesses in Shepperton. We are committed to upholding the highest ethical standards in our operations, supply chains, and relationships. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps we take to prevent and address the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking within our business and wider supply chain.
Flower Delivery Shepperton maintains a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. We unequivocally oppose forced labour, servitude, debt bondage, child labour, and any form of compulsory work related to the sourcing, production, or delivery of our goods and services. This policy applies to all parts of our business and extends to all our suppliers, business partners, and contractors.
We are committed to working only with suppliers who share our values around human rights, fair treatment, and ethical employment. Our due diligence procedures include assessing new and existing suppliers for their policies and practices regarding forced labour and modern slavery. Suppliers are required to confirm their compliance with all relevant legislation and provide information on their own approach to combatting modern slavery. Where necessary, we conduct further investigations and review third-party reports to ensure the integrity of our supply chain.
Flower Delivery Shepperton invests in training for all staff members, ensuring they understand the signs of modern slavery and how to respond when concerns arise. Regular training sessions are conducted to keep our team informed about current issues and best practices in identifying and tackling modern slavery. Awareness-raising materials are made available in the workplace to reinforce our collective commitment to upholding the dignity and rights of every individual engaged in our operations and supply chains.
We have established clear reporting channels for staff, suppliers, and other stakeholders to confidentially raise concerns relating to modern slavery, unethical practices, or suspicious activities. All reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and acted upon in accordance with our ethical guidelines. Staff are actively encouraged to speak up without fear of retaliation or adverse consequences, knowing that their concerns will be listened to and handled discreetly.
Our approach to preventing modern slavery is subject to ongoing review and improvement. Flower Delivery Shepperton undertakes a formal review of this statement, our policies, and related processes at least once a year. We use feedback from staff, suppliers, and industry updates to enhance our efforts, ensuring that our practices remain robust and up to date. Any lessons learned inform the development and update of staff training and supplier engagement strategies.
By embedding respect for human rights and zero tolerance of modern slavery into our day-to-day business, Flower Delivery Shepperton aims to be a leader in ethical floristry for the Shepperton community and beyond. We remain vigilant and proactive in protecting the wellbeing and dignity of those who make our service possible. This statement reflects our values and underscores our ongoing responsibility to our customers, our staff, and our wider community.
