Modern Slavery Statement: Flower Delivery Chelsea
Our Zero Tolerance Policy
At Flower Delivery Chelsea, we are firmly committed to upholding the highest ethical standards in every aspect of our business. We have a zero tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking, including forced labour, servitude, and child labour. We believe that maintaining an ethical supply chain and workplace is fundamental to our responsibility as a trusted Chelsea florist serving local households and businesses.
Supplier Due Diligence
We recognise that preventing modern slavery requires constant vigilance throughout our operations and our supply chain. Our suppliers are selected carefully and must uphold our unwavering commitment to fair and respectful treatment of all individuals. We conduct due diligence processes which include risk assessments, supplier self-assessments, and periodic reviews. Our agreements with suppliers explicitly require compliance with all relevant anti-slavery and human trafficking legislation. Should we identify or suspect any risks related to modern slavery, we will promptly investigate and, if necessary, terminate relationships with non-compliant suppliers.
Staff Training and Awareness
Educating our team is a core part of our prevention strategy. All employees receive training on identifying signs of modern slavery and understanding their responsibilities under relevant legislation. Regular workshops and resources reinforce our collective vigilance against any practices that could expose our staff, our suppliers, or the community to exploitative conditions. This education is tailored to each role within our business to ensure everyone can recognise and respond appropriately to risks.
Reporting and Escalation Channels
We encourage openness within our team and maintain an environment where concerns about unethical conduct, including modern slavery and human trafficking, can be raised without fear of reprisal. Clear internal reporting channels are in place for staff to report suspicions or breaches. Every report is treated seriously, investigated fully, and managed confidentially. We are also willing to support investigations by relevant authorities where appropriate.
Annual Review and Continuous Improvement
Our fight against modern slavery is ongoing. We conduct an annual review of our policies, procedures, and supply chain to ensure they remain robust and effective. This assessment considers changes in legislation, the results of our due diligence, and feedback from staff or stakeholders. We strive to learn from best practices and update our approach where necessary, ensuring that our commitment is consistently realised across our business.
Our Responsibility as a Local Florist
We understand that, as a florist serving the Chelsea community, our reputation relies on trust and ethical conduct. Our customers, whether households or businesses, deserve the assurance that every stem and bouquet has been sourced responsibly. This statement forms a key part of our promise to the community: to provide beautiful flowers with integrity, mindful not just of quality but also of the people whose work brings our flowers to life.
This statement is reviewed annually and represents our ongoing commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking within Flower Delivery Chelsea’s operations and supply chain.
