Modern Slavery Statement for Flower Delivery Enfield
Our Commitment to Combating Modern Slavery
Flower Delivery Enfield is dedicated to maintaining the highest ethical standards as a trusted florist serving households and businesses across Enfield. We fully recognise our responsibility under the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and are committed to preventing all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking within our operations and throughout our supply chain.
Zero Tolerance Policy
We operate a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery in any form. This principle governs not just our own practices but also the expectations we set for everyone we work with, from our direct suppliers to business partners. Any breach of this policy is treated with the utmost seriousness and appropriate action will always be taken.
Supplier Due Diligence
As florists, our supply chain includes growers, wholesalers, and delivery agencies. We carry out rigorous due diligence checks to assess the risk of modern slavery within our supply chain. All suppliers are required to confirm their compliance with relevant legislations and our ethical standards. We aim to only work with partners who share our values and demonstrate clear efforts to prevent modern slavery in their own operations. In addition, contract renewals and new supplier engagements are subject to periodic reviews of compliance documentation and practices.
Staff Training and Awareness
Our team is key to upholding our values in all aspects of our service. We provide comprehensive training to all staff to help them understand what constitutes modern slavery and how to identify risk factors in our industry. Training sessions are refreshed annually to ensure our team stays alert to the latest regulatory updates and best practices. Employees are encouraged to act promptly if they have any concerns or suspicions regarding modern slavery within our operations or those of our suppliers.
Channels for Reporting Concerns
Flower Delivery Enfield seeks to foster a culture where staff, suppliers, and any other stakeholders feel empowered to raise concerns without fear of reprisal. All concerns around suspected modern slavery can be reported confidentially through internal reporting mechanisms. Every report is treated with the highest level of seriousness and handled sensitively in accordance with our whistleblowing policy. Appropriate investigations are conducted, and relevant authorities will be involved if necessary.
Annual Review and Continual Improvement
We are committed to the continuous improvement of our anti-slavery practices. Our Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed every year to ensure ongoing compliance with legislation and to reflect any enhancements in our processes or staff training. Performance is monitored regularly against defined KPIs, and lessons learned are incorporated into future updates of our policies and procedures.
Our Local Responsibility
As a well-respected florist in Enfield, we recognise the importance of building a responsible and ethical business for our customers and our community. By maintaining this Modern Slavery Statement, we affirm not only our legal compliance but our dedication to fair practice, human rights, and transparency. We thank our staff, partners, and customers for helping us uphold these principles.
