Flower Delivery Loughton Modern Slavery Statement

Our Commitment to Preventing Modern Slavery

At Flower Delivery Loughton, we take our ethical responsibilities seriously and are fully committed to preventing all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chain. As a trusted florist serving the Loughton community, including households and local businesses, we recognise our role in upholding the highest standards of integrity and respect for human rights.

Zero Tolerance Approach

We operate with a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. There is no place for such practices at any level of our business or within our supply chain. We expect all employees, suppliers, and partners to uphold these standards and to support our efforts in identifying and eliminating any risk of modern slavery.

Supplier Due Diligence

Our commitment to ethical sourcing requires that we thoroughly vet all suppliers before establishing business relationships. We conduct due diligence through assessments and ongoing monitoring to ensure each supplier aligns with our modern slavery policy. This involves reviewing their own ethical standards, employment practices, and transparency in their operations. Where possible, we seek documented evidence of compliance and engage only those suppliers who share our commitment to eradicating modern slavery.

Staff Training and Awareness

We understand that knowledge is vital in the fight against modern slavery. All Flower Delivery Loughton staff receive guidance and training to identify indicators of modern slavery and understand the processes for reporting concerns appropriately. By equipping our team with relevant information and resources, we empower them to safeguard integrity within our business and among our partners.

Reporting Channels and Confidentiality

We encourage a culture of openness and vigilance. Any staff member, supplier, or third party who suspects an instance of modern slavery is urged to report their concerns without fear of victimisation. We maintain clear internal channels for confidential and sensitive reporting and treat all disclosures seriously and responsibly. We are committed to investigating any reports thoroughly and will take immediate action where necessary to address and resolve any breaches of our standards.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

Flower Delivery Loughton is dedicated to continually evaluating and improving our approach to combatting modern slavery. Each year, we review our policies, training programs, and supplier relationships to assess effectiveness and identify opportunities for enhancement. This annual review ensures our practices remain robust and relevant to evolving risks in our industry.

Our Responsibility as a Trusted Local Florist

It is our privilege and duty, as a well-regarded florist in Loughton, to protect and promote the rights and wellbeing of those who contribute to our business—locally and throughout our supply chain. We are proud to reflect this responsibility in our strong, ongoing opposition to modern slavery. This statement reaffirms our promise to the community we serve and the values we uphold daily.
