At Flower Delivery Richmond Upon Thames, we recognise our responsibility to act with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights in every aspect of our business. As a trusted florist delivering to households and businesses throughout Richmond Upon Thames, we are committed to identifying and preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and throughout our supply chains. Our actions reflect our ethical values and the expectations that our local community and customers place upon us.
We maintain a strict zero tolerance policy regarding modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and all forms of exploitation. We are committed to conducting business in a manner that protects the rights and dignity of everyone involved in our supply network—from our direct employees to the workers at every stage of our supplier chain. This policy is central to our commitment to responsible and ethical business practices.
Recognising that much of the global flower industry can be vulnerable to unethical practices, we take the utmost care in vetting and monitoring all our suppliers. Every supplier is required to confirm their compliance with laws regarding anti-slavery and employment standards as part of our due diligence process. We seek out suppliers who can demonstrate fair and ethical working conditions for their employees and workers, and those who share our values on preventing modern slavery.
We regularly assess our supply chain for risks related to modern slavery and conduct checks that may include supplier questionnaires, requests for policy documentation, and where appropriate, site visits. If any concerns arise, we take prompt and effective action, which may include engaging with the supplier to remediate the issue or, if necessary, terminating the business relationship.
All staff at Flower Delivery Richmond Upon Thames are trained to understand the risks and signs associated with modern slavery and human trafficking. We provide guidance on our zero tolerance policy and ensure that staff are aware of their obligations in upholding it. Ongoing awareness and education help empower our team to act should any suspicion of modern slavery arise, and underscores the importance of vigilance at every level of our business.
We take any suspicions or reports of modern slavery extremely seriously. All employees are encouraged and enabled to report their concerns freely and confidentially through established internal channels. Staff are assured that they can raise concerns regarding potential instances of modern slavery without fear of retaliation or detrimental treatment. Every report is investigated thoroughly, and appropriate action is taken in line with our zero tolerance policy.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually, or sooner if required, to ensure its effectiveness and relevance. We commit to ongoing improvement of our policies and practices and remain alert to emerging risks within our industry and locality. Updates will reflect any changes to laws, best practices, and feedback received from staff or stakeholders to ensure our approach remains robust and comprehensive.
Our stance against modern slavery is central to our responsibility as a trusted Richmond Upon Thames florist, serving the local community with care and integrity. We are dedicated to upholding these standards both within our business and throughout our partnerships, ensuring that the beauty we deliver is free from exploitation and harm.
