Modern Slavery Statement for Flower Delivery Bracknell
Introduction
Flower Delivery Bracknell is committed to upholding the highest standards of ethics and integrity in every aspect of our operations. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses across Bracknell, we recognise our social responsibility to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking have no place within our organisation, our supply chains, or our business relationships.
Our Zero Tolerance Policy
We maintain a strict zero tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, child labour, servitude, and human trafficking. This principle is fundamental to our values and is embedded in our company policies and procedures. We expect the same unwavering commitment from everyone with whom we do business, including suppliers, partners, and contractors.
Supplier Due Diligence
We understand that the fight against modern slavery must extend beyond our immediate company. To this end, we have put rigorous due diligence measures in place to identify and manage risks within our supply chains. Our suppliers are required to comply with all relevant laws and to demonstrate full transparency within their own supply chains. We review supplier practices as part of our on-boarding process and conduct ongoing assessments to maintain confidence in their commitment to ethical labour practices.
Where there is cause for concern, we act promptly, engaging with suppliers to investigate and, if necessary, to terminate relationships where non-compliance with our standards or the law is identified.
Staff Training and Awareness
We believe that awareness and understanding are crucial in preventing modern slavery. Our staff receive training on recognising the signs of modern slavery and on the procedures they must follow if they suspect or become aware of any issues. This training is regularly updated to reflect the latest guidance and legislation, ensuring that our team remains equipped to respond effectively and appropriately to any concerns.
Reporting Channels
We encourage everyone associated with Flower Delivery Bracknell – employees, suppliers, and customers – to report any suspicions or evidence relating to modern slavery without fear of reprisal. We have established confidential and accessible channels for such reporting. All reports are treated seriously and are thoroughly investigated by our management team. Appropriate action is taken in line with our disciplinary and grievance procedures.
Annual Review and Continuous Improvement
Our commitment to combatting modern slavery is reviewed annually. This review is designed to assess the effectiveness of our policies, supplier vetting, training programs, and reporting mechanisms. Learnings from each review guide improvements in our procedures and support further training and engagement. By taking this proactive approach, we continually strengthen our ability to protect the rights and dignity of all those reached by our business, directly or indirectly.
Our Responsibility to Bracknell
Flower Delivery Bracknell recognises that our position as a local business serving the community brings with it a responsibility to act with integrity and compassion. Our Modern Slavery Statement reaffirms our ongoing commitment to fair and ethical practices, ensuring that trust placed in us by local households and businesses is always honoured.
