Flower Delivery Kensal Green maintains a strict zero tolerance approach to any form of modern slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, and human trafficking. This policy is unwavering and applies to all aspects of our operations, from our own team to our supply chains. We will not knowingly engage with any suppliers or contractors who fail to uphold these principles.
Supplier Due Diligence
We understand that the risk of modern slavery can exist at any stage of the supply chain. To combat this, we have developed due diligence processes for evaluating our suppliers and business partners. Our checks include:
- Requesting written confirmation from key suppliers that their practices are free from modern slavery and human trafficking.
- Reviewing suppliers' own modern slavery policies and ensuring alignment with our expectations.
- Prioritizing partnerships with local and long-standing suppliers known for ethical practices.
- Ongoing monitoring and spot checks to ensure compliance with our standards.
Staff Training and Awareness
We are committed to informing and equipping our staff so they can identify risks and play a part in safeguarding our workplace against the possibility of modern slavery. Regular training sessions ensure that all team members are aware of the signs of modern slavery and understand our reporting procedures. By fostering a culture of awareness and responsibility, we empower our staff to raise concerns without fear of reprisal.
Reporting Channels
All staff, suppliers, and stakeholders are encouraged to report any suspicions or incidents of modern slavery or human trafficking. Reports can be made in confidence to management through the established channels detailed in our internal communications. We assure all personnel that any concerns will be treated with the utmost seriousness and investigated thoroughly and promptly.
Annual Review and Continuous Improvement
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure its ongoing effectiveness and relevance.
