Modern Slavery Statement – Flower Delivery Grays
Our Zero Tolerance Approach to Modern Slavery
At Flower Delivery Grays, we are fully committed to operating with integrity and safeguarding the dignity and human rights of everyone involved in our business and supply chain. As a responsible florist serving local households and businesses in Grays, we have a strict zero tolerance policy against all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. We recognise the critical importance of taking decisive action to prevent these abuses within our operations and among those who supply us.
Supplier Due Diligence and Risk Assessment
Our floral arrangements and products depend on a network of growers, wholesalers, and logistics providers. Ensuring that every partner in our supply chain upholds fair labour standards is at the heart of our ethical sourcing practices. We conduct regular risk assessments and due diligence when selecting and reviewing suppliers. This includes requiring suppliers to confirm their compliance with anti-slavery laws and to provide evidence of their own preventative practices. We avoid working with suppliers who are unable or unwilling to demonstrate a shared commitment to eradicating modern slavery.
Staff Training and Awareness
Our team members are pivotal in recognising and addressing risks around modern slavery. All staff receive tailored training to understand what modern slavery is, how to spot potential signs, and the procedures for reporting concerns. Training is reviewed and refreshed annually to ensure up-to-date awareness of risks and responsibilities, extending beyond our shop floor to include our delivery team and anyone involved in procurement processes.
Reporting and Escalation Channels
We create a safe and open environment where everyone has the confidence to raise concerns without fear of reprisal. Clear internal channels are in place for staff, suppliers, and other stakeholders to report suspected breaches of our anti-slavery policies. All reports of suspected modern slavery, mistreatment, or other unethical practices are promptly investigated and acted upon. Where necessary, we involve the appropriate authorities to ensure full resolution.
Annual Statement Review and Continuous Improvement
This statement and our anti-slavery measures are reviewed annually by our management team. We seek to improve continually by learning from evolving best practices, updating our supply chain mapping, and listening to feedback from staff and customers. Where new risks or issues are identified, we will take swift corrective action to address them. Our goal is long-term, sustainable eradication of modern slavery risks from our operations and supply chain.
Our Duty to Grays' Households and Businesses
As a trusted florist serving the people and organisations of Grays, we understand our responsibility extends beyond delivering beautiful flowers. Our commitment to ethical sourcing and the protection of human rights is integral to our reputation and core values. We remain dedicated to upholding the highest standards of integrity and transparency in all that we do, ensuring our customers can trust not just the quality of our products, but also the ethics behind them.
This Modern Slavery Statement is made pursuant to our ongoing dedication to social responsibility and is reviewed and approved each year by senior management.
