Flower Delivery Ardleigh Green’s Modern Slavery Statement
Our Commitment to Preventing Modern Slavery
Flower Delivery Ardleigh Green is committed to ensuring that modern slavery and human trafficking have no place in our business or supply chains. As a trusted florist serving homes and businesses in Ardleigh Green, we recognise our responsibility to act with integrity and transparency in everything we do. This statement details the actions we take to uphold the highest ethical standards for our customers, our staff, and our suppliers.
Zero Tolerance Policy
We maintain a strict zero tolerance approach to modern slavery. This covers all forms of forced labour, servitude, bonded labour, human trafficking, or any exploitation of children and vulnerable individuals. We ensure that all employees, contractors, and suppliers understand that any involvement in such practices will not be tolerated and will result in prompt, decisive action.
Supplier Due Diligence
As part of our approach to identifying and mitigating risk, we conduct thorough due diligence with all our suppliers. We require all partners and suppliers to confirm their commitment to ethical labour practices as a condition of business with Flower Delivery Ardleigh Green. We seek assurances through signed agreements, and where appropriate, request evidence of compliance with anti-slavery regulations. Our suppliers are regularly reviewed to ensure continued adherence to our standards.
Employee Training and Awareness
We believe education is key to preventing modern slavery. All staff are provided with guidance and training on how to recognise signs of exploitation, abuse, or human trafficking within our business and supply chains. Our training program ensures that our team remains vigilant, informed, and confident in reporting any concerns. Additionally, our onboarding process always includes a section about our zero tolerance policy on modern slavery.
Reporting Channels
We encourage a culture of openness and are committed to providing all employees and business partners with clear, accessible channels for raising concerns about modern slavery. Staff are empowered to speak up without fear of reprisal. Any suspicion or evidence of slavery or human trafficking must be reported internally, and is treated as a matter of utmost seriousness. All concerns are promptly investigated, with appropriate action taken where necessary to protect those affected and maintain ethical standards.
