Modern Slavery Statement for Flower Delivery Greenhithe

Introduction

At Flower Delivery Greenhithe, we are dedicated to conducting our business responsibly, ethically, and with integrity. As a trusted florist serving the households and businesses of the Greenhithe community, we recognise our responsibility to actively prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations and supply chains. This statement outlines our ongoing commitment, policies, and practices to ensuring that modern slavery does not take place within our business or through our suppliers.

Our Zero Tolerance Policy

We maintain a strict zero tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. Our staff, suppliers, and partners are expected to uphold the highest standard of ethical conduct in all their dealings. Any breach of this policy, whether intentional or inadvertent, is treated as a serious matter that may result in termination of employment, business relationships, or contracts.

Supplier Due Diligence

We recognise that our responsibility extends throughout our supply chain, from growers and wholesalers to delivery partners. Flower Delivery Greenhithe undertakes thorough due diligence for all current and prospective suppliers. This includes requiring written confirmation from suppliers that they are not involved in modern slavery, reviewing evidence of compliance with relevant laws, and conducting periodic assessments where appropriate. Our supplier relationships are continuously monitored to ensure ongoing adherence to our ethical standards.

Staff Training and Awareness

All our employees are provided with regular training on modern slavery, including how to identify possible signs and risks. This training empowers our team to recognise and respond appropriately to potential concerns both within our business and our supply chain. We encourage staff to seek guidance and clarification should they have any doubts about the behaviour or practices of colleagues or suppliers.

Reporting Channels

We have established clear and accessible reporting channels for staff to raise concerns about modern slavery or unethical practices confidentially. Reports can be made anonymously and without fear of retaliation. Every concern reported is treated with the utmost seriousness and is thoroughly investigated by senior management. Where necessary, Flower Delivery Greenhithe will report relevant matters to the authorities in accordance with our legal obligations.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective and reflective of our business activities and external environment. We are committed to continuously improving our processes and responses in light of new risks, insights, or regulations. Feedback from staff, customers, and the wider community is always welcome to help us enhance our approach further.

Our Responsibility to Greenhithe

Protecting our community and upholding ethical standards is central to our role as a trusted Greenhithe florist. Flower Delivery Greenhithe is proud to contribute to a safer, fairer, and more transparent business environment for all. We are grateful for the trust placed in us by local households and businesses and will continue to act with integrity, vigilance, and responsibility against modern slavery in every part of our business.
