Flower Delivery Lewisham is steadfastly committed to operating with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. As a florist serving the Lewisham area, we recognise the profound responsibility held by local businesses to combat modern slavery and human trafficking. This statement outlines the measures we undertake to ensure our operations and supply chains remain free of such practices.
We have a zero tolerance approach to modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking in all their forms. This strict policy applies to all aspects of our business – including our relationships with suppliers, contractors, temporary staff, and third parties. Every member of the Flower Delivery Lewisham team and our partners are expected to meet these standards at all times, and we will not conduct business with any party found to engage in or condone unethical practices such as modern slavery.
We acknowledge the importance of understanding and monitoring the risks of modern slavery within our supply chains. Therefore, we implement robust due diligence measures when selecting suppliers, whether for flowers, packaging, or supporting services. We seek assurances that our suppliers operate ethically, providing legal and fair employment conditions. All suppliers are required to confirm their own compliance with modern slavery laws and practices through self-assessment questionnaires and, where necessary, detailed audits and documentation. Should any non-compliance be suspected or identified, we will take immediate corrective action, up to and including termination of our commercial relationship.
We believe education is essential to the eradication of modern slavery. Flower Delivery Lewisham ensures all staff receive training on recognising, preventing, and addressing any indications of modern slavery or exploitative labour practices. This training is refreshed annually, ensuring that our team members remain vigilant in their day-to-day roles and interactions with suppliers and the broader community. Our staff understand their responsibilities and are empowered to raise concerns without fear of retribution.
We encourage a transparent and supportive culture when it comes to raising concerns. Any member of staff, supplier, or customer can report suspicions or evidence of modern slavery within our supply chains or business activities. We have established confidential, documented channels for reporting, and all concerns are acted upon swiftly, thoroughly, and with discretion. We take all information seriously and will conduct internal investigations or work with relevant authorities when required.
Modern slavery is an evolving global issue. In recognition of this, Flower Delivery Lewisham commits to an annual review of our policies, procedures, and training. We regularly evaluate our risk areas and strengthen our processes accordingly. This statement and our related procedures will be updated as necessary to maintain leading industry standards, legal compliance, and ethical assurance for the Lewisham community.
As a trusted local florist, Flower Delivery Lewisham serves both households and businesses throughout the area. We understand the trust our customers place in us extends beyond the quality of our arrangements to the ethics of our entire operation. This Modern Slavery Statement reiterates our enduring responsibility to act with honesty, fairness, and compassion towards everyone in our business and supply chain. Together, we aim to foster an environment where human rights are safeguarded and respected at all times.
