At Flower Delivery Sutton, we recognise our profound responsibility as a trusted Sutton florist serving local households and businesses. We are committed to upholding the highest ethical standards in our business operations and supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we are taking to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking, reflecting our dedication to transparency and ethical conduct.
We have a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking in all forms. This policy underpins our approach to business, guiding our interactions with suppliers, partners, employees, and the wider community. We ensure that everyone we work with understands and shares our commitment to fighting modern slavery, and we will take immediate action to address any breaches.
We carefully select our suppliers, requiring them to adhere to legal and ethical standards consistent with our own. As part of our due diligence process, we assess suppliers' practices regarding labour, working conditions, and their own supply chains. We expect suppliers to demonstrate transparency and compliance, and we reserve the right to terminate relationships where credible evidence of modern slavery exists. Through ongoing dialogue, we reinforce our expectations and monitor for potential risks among existing and new suppliers.
Our employees are pivotal to upholding ethical practices. Flower Delivery Sutton delivers regular training to all staff members, raising awareness of modern slavery and the critical role each individual plays in its prevention. Training covers how to recognise signs of exploitation, appropriate conduct when dealing with suppliers, and the importance of reporting suspicions promptly and securely. Our training is refreshed annually to ensure staff remain vigilant and equipped to act.
We encourage an open culture where staff, suppliers, and customers can voice concerns. Flower Delivery Sutton has established clear internal reporting channels. Any suspicions or evidence of modern slavery can be reported confidentially to senior management. We are committed to thoroughly investigating all reports without fear of reprisal for those raising genuine concerns. We recognise the importance of early intervention and support a culture of prompt disclosure and responsible action.
This statement and the supporting policies are reviewed each year to ensure they remain relevant and effective. The annual review process enables us to adapt to evolving legislation, best practices, and feedback from stakeholders. We continually seek to improve our approach, strengthening our due diligence, enhancing staff training, and updating procedures to uphold our ethical standards. Progress and findings from the review are shared with senior management and help inform strategic decisions for the following year.
Flower Delivery Sutton is fully committed to preventing modern slavery and promoting ethical practices across our business operations and supply chain. As a florist serving the Sutton community, we recognise the trust placed in us by households and local businesses. This Modern Slavery Statement demonstrates our unwavering commitment to integrity, ensuring that everyone associated with our business is treated fairly and with dignity.
