At Flower Delivery Acton, we are deeply committed to upholding the highest standards of ethical conduct within our business and among our supply chains. As a trusted florist proudly serving Acton's households and businesses, we recognize our responsibility to combat modern slavery, human trafficking, and forced labour in all forms. This statement outlines the measures we undertake to prevent modern slavery and ensure transparency and accountability throughout our operations.
Flower Delivery Acton maintains a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. We do not tolerate any form of forced labour, servitude, child labour, or exploitative practices either within our premises or anywhere in our supply chains. This principle is woven into our company ethos and reinforced through regular communication with staff and suppliers.
We understand that the risk of modern slavery can arise at any stage of a product's lifecycle. Therefore, we carry out robust due diligence when selecting and retaining suppliers. Our process includes seeking assurances that our suppliers operate in compliance with anti-slavery laws and conduct their business ethically. We expect our suppliers to adhere to the same high standards as we do and reserve the right to terminate relationships with any supplier found to be in breach of our anti-slavery expectations or policies.
Staff awareness is fundamental in the fight against modern slavery. To this end, we provide training and guidance to all members of our team, helping them identify potential signs of exploitation or trafficking. Workshops and informative resources form part of our induction for new staff and ongoing education for all employees, ensuring that everyone understands their role in safeguarding vulnerable individuals.
We encourage a transparent culture where concerns related to modern slavery can be raised confidentially and without fear of retaliation. Clear reporting channels are in place for employees, suppliers, and third parties to voice any suspicions or incidents of unethical behaviour. All reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and dealt with according to our established procedures. Where necessary, appropriate actions are taken, including reporting to relevant authorities.
Our approach to tackling modern slavery is continually reviewed to ensure effectiveness and relevance. We formally assess our policies, procedures, and supply chain relationships every year, identifying areas for improvement and implementing changes as appropriate. This annual review forms a core part of our commitment to continuous improvement and corporate responsibility.
Serving Acton’s local community brings with it a heightened sense of responsibility. From delivering flowers to family homes, corporate offices, and community events, we consistently strive to act with integrity and promote dignity and respect in all aspects of our business. This Modern Slavery Statement reflects our promise not only to meet legal obligations but also to uphold the trust placed in us by our valued customers and neighbours.
This statement will be reviewed and updated annually to reflect ongoing progress and evolving best practices.
