We are fully committed to acting ethically in all areas of our business and ensuring that modern slavery, human trafficking, and other forms of exploitation have no place in our operations or supply chain.
We take a firm, zero tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. All staff members, suppliers, and business partners are expected to uphold our strict ethical standards and contribute to the prevention of any practice that could breach these principles. We do not accept any form of servitude, forced, compulsory or child labour in our direct business or in any part of our supply chain.
Flower Delivery Hoddesdon conducts careful due diligence when selecting suppliers. We expect all our suppliers, whether they provide flowers, packaging, or other business services, to operate in compliance with all applicable laws pertaining to modern slavery. Our supplier selection process includes: obtaining clear information on their employment practices, positive affirmation of compliance with anti-slavery legislation, and evidence of ethical sourcing measures. We periodically review our supply arrangements and require assurances that suppliers share our values and ethical standards.
Ensuring that our staff understand the signs and risks of modern slavery is critical. We provide targeted training to all employees, so they are aware of what constitutes modern slavery and are equipped to identify and report any potential concerns. This includes induction training and regular refresher sessions, highlighting our zero tolerance policy and the role each person plays in upholding it. We foster an open environment where staff are encouraged to speak up without fear of reprisal.
We maintain clear and accessible channels for reporting any suspicions or concerns related to modern slavery within our business or supply network. We actively encourage all employees, suppliers, and stakeholders to raise any issues they may encounter. All concerns are taken seriously and investigated promptly by our management team, and appropriate corrective action is taken when required. Confidentiality is respected throughout the process.
We are committed to continuous improvement in combating modern slavery. This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure its effectiveness and relevance. Our policies, training materials, and supply chain checks are updated when necessary, in line with evolving best practice, legal developments, and feedback from staff and partners.
As a longstanding local florist, our duty to act with integrity is central to the trust placed in us by the Hoddesdon community. We are dedicated to promoting ethical practices, supporting responsible business in our sector, and contributing positively to our town.
