Modern Slavery Statement for Flower Delivery Shooter's Hill
Our Commitment to Preventing Modern Slavery
At Flower Delivery Shooter's Hill, we have a fundamental responsibility to ensure that our operations, and those within our supply chains, are free from any form of modern slavery or human trafficking. As a trusted local florist serving both households and businesses in the Shooter's Hill community, upholding ethical standards is at the core of our business. We commit to maintaining a transparent, responsible approach that respects human rights at every level of our organisation and beyond.
Zero Tolerance Policy
Flower Delivery Shooter's Hill maintains a strict zero tolerance policy regarding modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. We expect all our staff, suppliers, and business partners to share this commitment and conduct their activities in accordance with all relevant laws and regulations. Any breaches of this policy will be regarded as serious misconduct and may result in the termination of business relationships or employment contracts.
Supplier Due Diligence
We recognise that supply chains may be susceptible to risks associated with modern slavery. To address this, we carry out robust due diligence when selecting suppliers and partners. This process includes asking prospective suppliers to confirm their own compliance with anti-slavery laws and providing evidence of their ethical practices. Ongoing relationships are subject to regular review, and we reserve the right to audit or investigate any supplier where concerns about labour practices arise.
Staff Training and Awareness
Ensuring all staff understand the risks and signs of modern slavery is vital. We provide training to our employees, raising awareness about what modern slavery looks like and how it can occur, even in seemingly low-risk sectors such as floristry. By empowering our staff with knowledge and guidance, we help to create a vigilant and proactive team who can identify, prevent, or escalate any concerns appropriately.
Reporting Channels
We encourage a culture of openness and accountability, offering clear and confidential channels for reporting suspected cases of modern slavery. Any employee, supplier, or customer who becomes aware of a potential incident is encouraged to raise their concerns without fear of retaliation. All reports will be treated seriously, investigated thoroughly, and acted upon swiftly, in line with our whistleblowing procedures and applicable legislation.
Annual Review and Continuous Improvement
Our Modern Slavery Statement and related procedures are subject to review on at least an annual basis. This ensures that our approach remains effective and responsive to emerging risks. We continually assess our practices, seek feedback from staff and stakeholders, and update our processes to reflect best practice and regulatory change. Our aim is to maintain and strengthen our commitment to ethical, responsible business at Flower Delivery Shooter's Hill and throughout our supply chain.
Our Role in the Shooter's Hill Community
As a leading flower delivery service in Shooter's Hill, we take our social responsibilities seriously. This statement reflects not only compliance with the law but also our duty to the people we serve and the trust our customers place in us. We strive to ensure that every bouquet we deliver is underpinned by respect for human dignity and fair working practices.
