At Flower Delivery West Wickham, we are dedicated to operating ethically and with integrity in all aspects of our business. As a trusted florist serving West Wickham households and businesses, we recognise our responsibility to protect human rights and prevent any forms of slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. This statement outlines the steps we take to uphold these commitments and our ongoing efforts to maintain transparency and accountability.
Flower Delivery West Wickham has a strict zero tolerance approach to modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. We do not accept any form of exploitation, whether direct or indirect, within our business or amongst our suppliers. Our internal policies are continually reviewed and updated to ensure that we maintain the highest standards of ethical conduct across all levels of our work.
We rely on trusted suppliers for flowers, packaging, and related products, recognising the importance of ethical sourcing. All prospective and existing suppliers are required to undergo comprehensive due diligence. This includes assessments of their working practices, labour policies, and corporate governance, to ensure compliance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and our own standards. Periodic reviews and checks are conducted, and any supplier found not meeting our requirements will face immediate investigation and possible termination of partnership. We explicitly communicate our expectation that suppliers take active measures to guard against modern slavery within their own operations and supply chains.
Our staff play an essential role in recognising and preventing modern slavery. We provide all employees with training on the signs of modern slavery, ethical sourcing, and our internal policies. This enables our team to identify any areas of risk and understand the importance of immediately raising concerns. Ongoing learning opportunities and refresher sessions reinforce our commitment and foster a culture of vigilance and responsibility throughout the organisation.
We actively encourage both staff and external parties to report any concerns relating to modern slavery or unethical practices. Flower Delivery West Wickham has established clear reporting channels, ensuring all information is treated confidentially and seriously. Staff are assured of protection from retaliation when raising genuine concerns. All reports are investigated promptly and appropriate action is taken as necessary in line with our legal and ethical obligations.
This statement and our broader anti-slavery practices are reviewed annually by our leadership team. As part of the review, we assess ongoing risks, the effectiveness of our policies, and any new legal or industry developments. Lessons learned are used to improve our approach year on year, with the aim of fully eradicating the risk of modern slavery from our business and supply chain.
Flower Delivery West Wickham takes pride in serving homes and businesses in our local community. Our clients trust us not only for the quality and beauty of our floral arrangements, but also for our commitment to operate with integrity. This Modern Slavery Statement reflects our values and our responsibility to ensure the wellbeing of everyone involved in bringing our flowers from farm to doorstep.
