Zero Tolerance Policy

Flower Delivery Harmondsworth has a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. We categorically prohibit forced labour, bonded labour, involuntary servitude, child labour, and any form of exploitation within our organisation and throughout our supply chains. These principles are embedded at the heart of our values and form a central pillar of our operations.

Supplier Due Diligence

Our commitment extends to every part of our supply network. We conduct thorough due diligence when selecting and engaging with all our suppliers. This includes requesting information on their ethical standards, labor practices, and compliance with anti-slavery laws. Suppliers are expected to share our values in rejecting all forms of modern slavery and to provide evidence of robust, ongoing monitoring within their own operations and those of their subcontractors. We reserve the right to terminate relationships with suppliers who fail to meet these standards.

Staff Training & Awareness

We believe empowering our team is vital in the fight against modern slavery. All staff members receive regular training to enhance their understanding of modern slavery risks and how to identify signs of exploitation, both within our business and in our supply chains. This training is reviewed and updated annually, ensuring our employees are equipped with the knowledge needed to act responsibly and confidently.

Reporting Channels

Flower Delivery Harmondsworth actively encourages both staff and external stakeholders to report any concerns or suspicions regarding modern slavery, safely and without fear of reprisal. We provide confidential reporting channels, and every report is treated seriously and investigated promptly. Should any instances or risks of modern slavery be identified, we take immediate and appropriate action in line with our company policy and legal obligations.

Annual Review

Our Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed and updated annually to ensure our approach remains effective and aligns with evolving best practices and legal requirements. This includes re-assessing supplier standards, updating staff training modules, and refining our internal procedures to close any gaps. We are committed to the continual improvement of our anti-slavery efforts and to transparently communicating both our progress and our challenges.
