Flower Delivery West Kensington recognises our responsibility to prevent, identify, and address risks of modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chain. As a trusted local florist serving West Kensington's households and businesses, we are committed to upholding the highest ethical standards in every aspect of what we do.
We operate a strict zero-tolerance policy against all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. This applies to all activities conducted by Flower Delivery West Kensington, and extends to all those we do business with, including suppliers and service providers. We expect all our partners to share our values and take active steps to eradicate exploitative practices from their own operations.
Our flowers and products are sourced with rigorous due diligence. We conduct careful vetting of new and existing suppliers to ensure they operate in accordance with all relevant UK laws regarding employment, human rights, and fair labour practices. Regular risk assessments are conducted, especially when working with suppliers who operate in countries or sectors known to have higher risks of labour exploitation.
Each supplier is required to confirm adherence to our Supplier Code of Conduct, which explicitly prohibits the use of forced, bonded, or involuntary labour, child labour, unacceptable working conditions, and unlawful deductions from wages. Where concerns are identified, we work closely with suppliers to address any issue without delay, and terminate relationships if necessary.
At Flower Delivery West Kensington, our team members receive regular training to ensure they understand the risks of modern slavery and know how to identify potential red flags. Training covers the definitions of modern slavery, recognised indicators of exploitation, and the practical steps staff should take when concerns arise.
We encourage a culture of vigilance, equipping staff with the knowledge and confidence required to act if they encounter suspicious circumstances, whether in the workplace or in dealings with third parties.
We maintain well-publicised internal channels for raising concerns about modern slavery. All staff, suppliers, and even customers are encouraged to report in good faith any suspicion of exploitation or illegal practices connected to our business. All concerns raised will be treated confidentially and investigated thoroughly, with protection in place for whistleblowers against any form of retaliation.
This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement is reviewed annually, or sooner if significant changes occur in our business or regulatory environment. The review process evaluates our ongoing effectiveness in combating exploitation and identifies opportunities for improvement, ensuring our policies and procedures remain robust, up-to-date, and fully compliant with legislation.
Flower Delivery West Kensington remains vigilant in our responsibility to ensure that everything we do, from sourcing to customer delivery, stands free from the taint of modern slavery. Our commitment reflects our role as a responsible business partner and a valued member of the West Kensington community.
