Flower Delivery Pinner: Our Commitment to Combating Modern Slavery

Modern Slavery Statement – Flower Delivery Pinner

Introduction

At Flower Delivery Pinner, our mission is to serve local households and businesses with beauty, creativity, and integrity. As a trusted florist in the Pinner community, we believe our responsibility is not only to deliver quality products but also to uphold the highest ethical standards across every aspect of our operations. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines our unwavering commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in our business and supply chains.

Zero Tolerance Policy

We operate a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery, forced labour, servitude, and human trafficking. Flower Delivery Pinner is wholly committed to acting ethically and transparently in all dealings with staff, suppliers, customers, and our wider community. We expect all our employees, suppliers, and partners to share our values and strictly adhere to our standards at all times.

Supplier Due Diligence

We source directly from reputable growers, wholesalers, and suppliers who are required to meet our code of conduct regarding ethical employment and labour practices. Before any new supplier engagement, we conduct thorough due diligence, which may include:

Assessing suppliers’ policies on modern slavery
Reviewing compliance with relevant labour laws
Evaluating audit reports or certification, where applicable

Ongoing relationships with suppliers are subject to routine review and monitoring. We reserve the right to terminate business relationships with any supplier or partner found to be complicit in modern slavery or not compliant with our standards.

Staff Training and Awareness

Staff at Flower Delivery Pinner are provided with training to identify potential indicators of modern slavery and equipped with guidance on the steps to take if they suspect unethical practices. Regular workshops and learning materials ensure our team remains vigilant to the risks and challenges present within our industry and supply chains.

Reporting Channels

We maintain clear and confidential reporting mechanisms for staff, suppliers, and other stakeholders to raise concerns about possible instances of modern slavery or unethical behaviour within our organisation or supply chain. All concerns raised are promptly investigated in accordance with our internal procedures, and no detriment will come to anyone making a report in good faith.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement, and the practices it describes, undergo an annual review by our management team. We continuously assess our approach, making improvements where necessary, in response to changing legislation, industry guidance, and the evolving nature of modern slavery risks. We also seek feedback from staff and stakeholders to enhance the effectiveness of our measures.

Our Responsibility to Pinner

Upholding the trust of Pinner’s households and businesses is of the utmost importance to us. By taking a firm stance against modern slavery, we reinforce our commitment to ethical conduct and social responsibility. Our ongoing efforts reflect our dedication not just to compliance, but to being a positive force in our community and beyond.
