At Flower Delivery Covent Garden, we recognise our responsibility as a trusted florist to the local community, including households and businesses in Covent Garden and surrounding areas. Our relationship with customers is built on integrity and respect, and we are committed to upholding the highest ethical standards. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the measures we take to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our own operations and across our supply chains.
We maintain a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. We believe that everyone has the right to fair treatment, dignity, and freedom. No form of forced labour, child labour, servitude, or human trafficking is acceptable in our business or in our supply chains. We expect all our staff, management, and suppliers to embrace these principles in their daily activities and business decisions.
As a floral business dependent on a range of suppliers, both local and international, we know that supply chains can be complex. We are committed to supplier due diligence as a core part of our anti-slavery approach. Before establishing any relationship with a supplier, we conduct risk assessments and require suppliers to confirm their compliance with anti-slavery and human trafficking laws. We regularly review our suppliers, asking them to certify their ongoing adherence to these standards. Where concerns are identified, we take immediate and appropriate action, up to and including ending the business relationship.
Our employees are trained to identify signs of modern slavery and human trafficking. Through regular awareness sessions, we educate staff on the risks, our company policy, and the importance of vigilance. Training covers how to recognise suspicious activity, the importance of acting ethically, and how to report potential concerns. All training is reviewed and updated annually to ensure its relevance and effectiveness.
We recognise the importance of providing clear and confidential channels for raising concerns. Staff, suppliers, or any third party who suspects or knows of any potential breach of our modern slavery policy is encouraged to report their concerns directly to management, using clearly communicated internal procedures. We assure all whistleblowers that their reports will be taken seriously and treated with strict confidentiality. Retaliation against anyone raising a concern in good faith will never be tolerated.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure its ongoing effectiveness and to respond to any emerging risks or changes in legislation. We take responsibility for monitoring our operations and supply chains regularly, embracing opportunities to further strengthen our safeguards and policies. We remain committed to transparency and continuous improvement.
As a leading florist serving Covent Garden, we know residents and businesses trust us to operate with integrity. Upholding high ethical standards is not only our legal obligation but also fundamental to our values as a local business. By actively working to prevent modern slavery, we affirm our commitment to social responsibility and ensure our service is worthy of the trust placed in us by the Covent Garden community.
