Modern Slavery Statement

Introduction

At Flower Delivery Greenwich, we recognise our responsibility to combat modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses across Greenwich, we are committed to upholding the highest ethical standards. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps we take to prevent modern slavery within our business and supply chains in accordance with our values and the Modern Slavery Act 2015.

Zero Tolerance Policy

We maintain a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. We do not condone, support, or knowingly participate in any form of modern slavery. This commitment extends to all areas of our operations and reflects our dedication to ensuring the welfare of everyone involved in our business, from florists and delivery personnel to suppliers and their employees.

Supplier Due Diligence

We recognise that the risk of modern slavery can be present within supply chains. To minimise this risk, we conduct rigorous due diligence before engaging with new suppliers. Our process includes requesting information on suppliers’ labour standards, their own anti-slavery policies, and workplace practices. Where possible, we seek assurances and evidence that our suppliers adhere to ethical principles in line with our own standards. We regularly review supplier relationships and reserve the right to terminate agreements where there is evidence of non-compliance with our anti-slavery policy.

Staff Training and Awareness

All Flower Delivery Greenwich staff receive training on recognising, preventing, and reporting signs of modern slavery and human trafficking. Our training programmes are designed to ensure that every team member fully understands their responsibility and the actions they should take if they suspect unlawful practices. By embedding awareness throughout our workforce, we strengthen our ability to identify risks and act quickly to protect vulnerable individuals.

Reporting Channels

We are committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for raising concerns. Staff, suppliers, and external partners are encouraged to report any suspicions or knowledge of modern slavery or unethical practices. Our internal reporting channels are designed to ensure concerns are taken seriously and investigated in a confidential and effective manner. Reports may be made without fear of reprisal, and we take all incidents seriously, responding promptly and thoroughly to each case.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

We review our Modern Slavery Statement and related policies annually to ensure they remain effective and up to date with legislation and best practices. Feedback from staff, suppliers, and stakeholders plays an important role in this ongoing process. We are dedicated to continual improvement and will amend our approaches whenever necessary to strengthen our stance against modern slavery.

Our Responsibility as a Local Florist

As a long-standing florist based in Greenwich, we take pride in our role at the heart of the local community. Our dedication to combating modern slavery is integral to the trust our customers place in us. Whether serving households or businesses, we pledge to deliver not only beautiful flowers but also the assurance that our business is run with integrity and respect for human rights.
