At Flower Delivery Plumstead, we are steadfast in our commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our business operations and supply chains. As a reputable florist serving the households and businesses of Plumstead, we recognise our responsibility to act ethically and transparently, ensuring that all our practices prevent the exploitation of individuals.
We operate a strict zero tolerance policy toward modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. This commitment applies to all areas of our business, from the sourcing of flowers and materials to the delivery of our products to customers. We do not engage in business with any supplier, contractor, or partner that does not share and uphold these values. Our staff are made aware that any violation of this policy will result in swift and appropriate disciplinary action, which may include termination of employment or business relationships.
We understand that our responsibility extends beyond our direct employees to our suppliers and contractors. Flower Delivery Plumstead conducts thorough due diligence checks on all new suppliers before entering into any agreement. This includes requesting information about their employment practices, sourcing protocols, and compliance with relevant laws pertaining to modern slavery and human trafficking. We regularly review our existing suppliers to ensure their ongoing adherence to our standards, and we will cease collaboration with any supplier unable to demonstrate their commitment to these values.
Central to our approach is the education and empowerment of our staff. We provide all relevant employees with training sessions to inform them about the risks and indicators of modern slavery, and how it can manifest within the floristry industry and supply chains. Employees are trained to identify suspicious behaviour or practices and to understand the procedures for escalating concerns. Training is refreshed regularly, ensuring that modern slavery awareness remains a priority throughout our business operations.
We foster an open and transparent culture where employees, suppliers, and stakeholders can report any suspicions or knowledge of modern slavery or human trafficking without fear of reprisal. Clear internal channels for reporting concerns are in place, and all reports are treated with the utmost seriousness and confidentiality. We investigate all reports thoroughly and take decisive action should any breaches be identified. Our management team maintains oversight of all reported issues and ensures that prompt and appropriate responses are implemented.
To ensure our continued effectiveness in combating modern slavery, we commit to an annual review of this statement and our underlying policies. This process allows us to assess adherence, address any gaps, update training materials, and make improvements reflective of evolving risks and best practices. Feedback from staff and stakeholders is welcomed as part of the review process so we can maintain the highest standards of compliance.
We take pride in being a trusted florist within the Plumstead community, providing quality and ethical services to local households and businesses. Upholding the principles contained within this statement forms an integral part of our mission to serve Plumstead with integrity and respect for human rights. We will continue to work diligently to ensure that every aspect of our business reflects these core values and contributes to the wider effort against modern slavery.
