At Flower Delivery St Albans, we are committed to operating our business ethically and with integrity. As a trusted florist serving the households and businesses of St Albans, we recognise our responsibility to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our operations, supply chains, and business relationships.
We have a zero tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking. We do not accept or condone any form of forced labour, servitude, or exploitation within our business or from any supplier or partner we engage with. This policy underpins all of our decisions and practices, ensuring that we remain steadfast in our ethical principles.
We understand that the risk of modern slavery can exist at any point in the supply chain. Therefore, we carry out a thorough due diligence process with all new and existing suppliers. We require our suppliers and service providers to confirm that they operate in compliance with all applicable legislation relating to modern slavery and ethical employment practices. Where appropriate, we request supporting evidence from them, such as relevant policies, procedures, and staff welfare practices, to ensure adherence to our standards. Our ongoing supplier reviews help us identify and address any potential risks or red flags at the earliest opportunity.
Our team is essential to our commitment in tackling modern slavery. All Flower Delivery St Albans employees undergo regular training to help them recognise the signs of exploitation and understand their role in preventing it. This training covers our core values, the importance of maintaining ethical supply chains, and how to escalate any concerns. We believe that an informed and vigilant workforce is key to identifying and addressing issues before they can take hold.
We operate clear and secure reporting channels, encouraging both employees and suppliers to report any suspicion of slavery, trafficking, or unethical conduct with confidence. Our open-door culture ensures that concerns can be raised confidentially and without fear of retaliation. All reports and concerns are treated with the utmost seriousness and are investigated thoroughly by the appropriate senior staff members.
This Modern Slavery Statement, our associated policies, and our practical efforts are subject to annual review by senior management. We regularly assess our procedures’ effectiveness and look for opportunities for continuous improvement. Where relevant, we incorporate feedback from staff, suppliers, and industry developments to strengthen our ability to safeguard against modern slavery in all its forms.
Serving the vibrant and diverse communities within St Albans, we recognise the trust placed in us by our customers. We are committed not only to delivering exceptional flowers and service, but also to upholding the highest standards of ethical business practice. Our proactive stance on modern slavery reflects our deep-rooted values as a responsible local business.
This statement is made in recognition of our ongoing responsibilities and will be updated as required to reflect new challenges and progress in our fight against modern slavery.
