Modern Slavery Statement of Flower Delivery Walworth
Our Zero Tolerance Approach to Modern Slavery
At Flower Delivery Walworth, we are firmly committed to upholding human rights and operating in accordance with the highest ethical standards. We recognise modern slavery – including slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking – as a pervasive threat and utterly incompatible with our values. We have a zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery and are dedicated to preventing it in every aspect of our business operations, as well as within our supply chains.
Supplier Due Diligence and Ethical Sourcing
Our promise to local households and businesses is built on far more than quality flowers and timely deliveries—it is underpinned by integrity. As a trusted Walworth florist, we regularly review suppliers to ensure they operate in accordance with our standards and the law. This process begins with rigorous due diligence prior to onboarding any supplier or service provider. We review their policies and practices to check for any risks or history of modern slavery, and we expect all suppliers to uphold similar zero tolerance standards. Ongoing monitoring and review helps us identify potential risks and act accordingly.
Staff Training and Raising Awareness
The effectiveness of our approach depends on the awareness and understanding of every member of our team. All Flower Delivery Walworth employees receive regular training to help them recognise indicators of modern slavery, understand our expectations, and know how to take appropriate action. Our training materials are kept up to date with evolving legislation and best practices so staff are always equipped to support our policy goals and contribute actively to prevention efforts. Special emphasis is placed on training staff with procurement responsibilities and those interacting with our supply chain.
Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing
We encourage staff, suppliers, customers, and the public to raise any concerns related to suspected modern slavery or unethical conduct. Flower Delivery Walworth provides clear, accessible, and confidential reporting channels to ensure that concerns can be shared without fear of retaliation. Reports are treated confidentially and thoroughly investigated. Appropriate remedial action is always taken in response to verified concerns, and we are committed to protecting whistleblowers who speak out in good faith.
Ongoing Annual Review and Continuous Improvement
Our commitment to combating modern slavery is unwavering and evolving. We review and update this Modern Slavery Statement annually, reflecting on our policies, practices, activities, and the effectiveness of our measures. This enables us to adapt to emerging risks, regulatory changes, and new best practice guidance. We also use this review process to identify further improvements, striving to go beyond compliance in our fight against modern slavery.
Our Responsibility as a Local Florist
As a florist rooted in Walworth, serving the local community with pride, we acknowledge that our influence extends beyond floral arrangements and timely deliveries. It is our ethical responsibility to ensure that everyone connected with Flower Delivery Walworth—whether staff, suppliers, or customers—can trust that we actively uphold the highest standards in safeguarding human rights. This statement reflects our commitment to act as a responsible, trusted business partner for households and businesses alike.
