Modern Slavery Statement – Flower Delivery Brondesbury

Our Zero Tolerance Approach to Modern Slavery

At Flower Delivery Brondesbury, we believe in upholding the highest ethical standards and are committed to acting with integrity in all aspects of our business. Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. We have a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking, ensuring such practices have no place in our operations or supply chains.

Our Responsibility as a Local Brondesbury Florist

Serving households and businesses throughout Brondesbury, we recognise that trust forms the foundation of our reputation. We understand our duty to the local community extends beyond beautiful floral arrangements—it includes ensuring our goods and services are provided without exploitation. This Modern Slavery Statement reflects our responsibility to make a positive impact, not just within our company but throughout the wider floral industry.

Supplier Due Diligence and Risk Management

We expect the same commitment to ethical practices from everyone involved in our supply chain, from growers and logistics partners to packaging and sundry providers. Before engaging with any new supplier, Flower Delivery Brondesbury undertakes a robust due diligence process that includes:

• Assessing policies and practices relating to labour standards, human rights, and modern slavery.
• Requiring confirmation from our suppliers that they comply with all applicable laws regarding anti-slavery and human trafficking.
• Monitoring high-risk supply chains using publicly available risk indices and routine supplier assessments.
• Reserving the right to terminate relationships with suppliers or business partners who fail to meet our standards or act in breach of anti-slavery legislation.

Staff Training and Awareness

We ensure that all staff members at Flower Delivery Brondesbury are equipped with the knowledge they need to identify and address modern slavery risks. Our training program includes:

• Mandatory induction on recognising warning signs of forced labour and exploitation.
• Guidance on our zero tolerance policy and escalation protocols.
• Regular refresher sessions to keep employees up to date on evolving risks and best practices.

This ensures our team remains vigilant and empowered to safeguard against unethical practices in our business and supply chain.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We provide clear and accessible channels for whistleblowing and reporting any suspicions of modern slavery or unethical conduct. All staff and suppliers are encouraged to raise concerns in confidence, secure in the knowledge that any raised issues will be treated seriously and investigated promptly. There is a strict non-retaliation policy to protect anyone making a good-faith report.

Annual Review of Policy and Procedures

Flower Delivery Brondesbury is committed to the continuous improvement of our anti-slavery measures. We review this Modern Slavery Statement, along with our internal policies, procedures, and supplier assessments, at least once every twelve months. This regular review ensures that our practices remain effective, relevant, and responsive to new risks as the business and industry evolve.

We are proud to be a trusted florist in the Brondesbury area and view the fight against modern slavery as an ongoing responsibility. Flower Delivery Brondesbury remains vigilant and dedicated, ensuring that our customers, local partners, and team members can have confidence in our ethical standards and integrity.
