Flower Delivery Hanwell Modern Slavery Statement
Our Commitment to Preventing Modern Slavery
As a trusted florist serving households and businesses throughout Hanwell, Flower Delivery Hanwell recognises the vital role we play in upholding ethical standards across our operations. We are firmly committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships, striving to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in every part of our business and supply chain.
Zero Tolerance Policy
Flower Delivery Hanwell maintains a strict zero tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking. We expect the same high standards from all our suppliers, contractors, and business partners. Our employees understand that compliance with this policy is a fundamental part of their role, and any breaches will result in swift and appropriate action.
Supplier Due Diligence
We are aware that risks of modern slavery often exist in complex supply chains, including the floral industry. Therefore, we undertake thorough due diligence checks on all suppliers before establishing any business relationship. Our process includes evaluating suppliers' own modern slavery policies, requesting written confirmations of policy adherence, and reserving the right to audit suppliers to assess their compliance. All direct suppliers are expected to sign our code of conduct, which explicitly prohibits the use of forced, coerced, or trafficked labour.
Staff Training and Awareness
Education is an essential element in preventing modern slavery. Flower Delivery Hanwell provides comprehensive training to staff to help them recognise the various forms of modern slavery and understand the associated warning signs. New recruits receive training as part of their induction, and we continue to keep all colleagues updated on best practices, relevant laws, and any changes in our processes.
Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing
We foster a culture of openness and support, whereby employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders can safely report any concerns related to modern slavery or unethical conduct. Multiple clear reporting channels are available, and all disclosures are treated in strict confidence. We ensure that there is absolutely no retaliation or disadvantage to any person reporting a genuine concern. We investigate all reports thoroughly and take swift remedial action if required, upholding the highest standards of integrity and responsibility.
Annual Review and Continuous Improvement
To ensure our approach remains effective, Flower Delivery Hanwell’s Modern Slavery Statement and associated policies are reviewed and updated annually. We actively monitor developments in legislation, industry initiatives, and best practices so we can strengthen our systems where needed. Feedback from employees and partners is welcomed and plays a key role in our ongoing efforts to eliminate the risk of modern slavery from our business and supply chain.
Our Responsibility to the Hanwell Community
Our responsibility as a leading Hanwell florist extends beyond the beautiful flowers we deliver. We are committed to maintaining the trust of our community by acting ethically within every aspect of our operations. By upholding these principles, Flower Delivery Hanwell aims to contribute to a more just and equitable future for all, ensuring that our flowers are a symbol of care, not just in decoration but also in actions and values.
