At Flower Delivery Elephant and Castle, we are dedicated to upholding the highest ethical standards in all aspects of our business. As a trusted florist serving Elephant and Castle’s households and local businesses, we recognise our responsibility to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. This statement outlines the policies and practices we have in place to ensure that modern slavery has no place in our business.
We maintain a strict zero tolerance approach towards all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, child labour, and human trafficking. We expect the same uncompromising standards from our employees, contractors, suppliers, and business partners. We do not knowingly engage with any person or organisation that engages in, or is complicit with, slavery or exploitation in any form.
Our supply chain includes flower growers, wholesalers, packaging providers, and delivery partners. Before entering into business with any supplier, we conduct careful due diligence to assess their compliance with our anti-slavery standards. This includes requesting transparency on employment practices, reviewing supplier policies, and seeking assurances of fair treatment for all workers. We are committed to building long-term relationships with suppliers who share our core values and are equally committed to eradicating modern slavery from their businesses.
We periodically review our supply chain and risk assessments to identify any areas of concern, ensuring a proactive approach to preventing modern slavery. Should issues be identified, we take prompt action to investigate and rectify the situation, including ceasing business with non-compliant suppliers where necessary.
Empowering our staff with knowledge is fundamental to our approach. All team members at Flower Delivery Elephant and Castle receive training to recognise signs of modern slavery and understand the steps they should take if they have concerns. This training is incorporated into our induction process and reinforced through regular updates. Staff are encouraged to remain vigilant and to take responsibility for upholding our ethical standards at all times.
We provide clear and accessible channels for reporting any suspicions or incidents of modern slavery or unethical conduct. Our staff and stakeholders can raise issues confidentially, and we commit to investigating all concerns thoroughly without fear of retaliation. We recognise the importance of transparency and foster a culture where everyone feels supported to speak up if they witness or suspect any form of exploitation.
This Modern Slavery Statement is subject to annual review by our management team. During the review, we evaluate the effectiveness of our policies and procedures, assess supplier compliance, and update training as necessary. We are committed to the continuous improvement of our anti-slavery measures, adapting our approach as new risks emerge or regulations change.
As a cornerstone of the Elephant and Castle community, we recognise that local households and businesses place their trust in us. We are resolute in our commitment to upholding that trust by refusing to tolerate modern slavery in any form. We will continue to take all necessary steps to ensure that our business, supply chain, and local partnerships remain free from exploitation, reflecting our enduring dedication to ethical conduct and social responsibility.
