Flower Delivery Byfleet Modern Slavery Statement
Our Commitment to Combatting Modern Slavery
Flower Delivery Byfleet upholds the highest ethical standards in all aspects of our business as a trusted local florist serving Byfleet households and businesses. We are dedicated to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and throughout our supply chain. Our responsibility extends beyond delivering beautiful flowers – it demands vigilant and ongoing actions to protect individuals from exploitation.
Zero Tolerance Policy
We enforce a strict zero tolerance stance on modern slavery and human trafficking. This applies to every aspect of our operations, from direct employment within our team to our relationships with growers, suppliers, and logistics partners. We will not knowingly work with any individual or organisation engaged in forced labour, servitude, bonded labour, or child labour. Any breach leads to immediate and decisive action, including termination of business relationships and reporting to the appropriate authorities.
Supplier Due Diligence
We carefully assess all suppliers and partners, ensuring that they share our commitment to combating modern slavery. The onboarding process includes questionnaires, declarations and, where necessary, additional verification. We regularly review these relationships and require suppliers to confirm their own anti-slavery measures. Should concerns arise, we pursue further investigation to safeguard the integrity of our supply chain.
Staff Training and Awareness
Our staff are central to our commitment. We provide regular training and resources to ensure all employees understand what modern slavery is, its indicators, and how to raise concerns. Staff are equipped to recognise suspicious behaviour both internally and externally and know how to escalate these appropriately. We believe that an informed team can identify risks and prevent exploitation.
Reporting Channels
We encourage the reporting of any activity inconsistent with our modern slavery policy. Employees, suppliers, and members of the public can raise concerns confidentially through established reporting channels within the business. All reports are treated with the utmost seriousness and confidentiality, and we investigate promptly. We foster a culture where individuals feel safe and empowered to speak up without fear of retaliation.
Annual Review
Our Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure its continued effectiveness. We assess and update our procedures, training, supplier monitoring, and reporting channels in line with evolving legislation and best practices. The annual review process demonstrates our ongoing commitment to ethical improvement and accountability within our business and community.
Our Responsibility as a Byfleet Florist
As a florist deeply rooted in the Byfleet community, delivering to local homes and businesses, we recognise the importance of acting as a responsible and trusted service provider. Upholding strong ethical standards is essential to maintaining the confidence of our customers and partners. We are committed to ensuring that every bouquet and arrangement we deliver is underpinned by respect for human rights and dignity.
This statement reflects our ongoing dedication to promoting transparency, integrity, and social responsibility throughout every aspect of Flower Delivery Byfleet.
