At Flower Delivery Bishops Stortford, we are committed to upholding the highest ethical standards in all our operations. As a reputable florist serving households and businesses within Bishops Stortford, we recognise our responsibility in the fight against modern slavery and human trafficking. This statement details our stance and actions to prevent slavery and trafficking within our own business and our supply chains.
We operate with a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitative practices. This applies not only within our own operations but also throughout our network of suppliers and partners. Our management team ensures this principle is integral to our business ethos, guiding our decisions and interactions every day.
Flower Delivery Bishops Stortford selects suppliers and partners with care, undertaking thorough due diligence to identify and mitigate the risk of modern slavery. We require all suppliers, whether local growers or international floral distributers, to comply with our ethical standards. Our evaluations include periodic supplier assessments focusing on labour practices, employee rights, working conditions, and adherence to local and international laws regarding modern slavery.
We believe that awareness is key to prevention. All our team members undergo regular training about modern slavery, including how to recognise signs of exploitation and human trafficking. As our staff engage directly with various elements of the supply chain, their vigilance is critical. Training encourages an open dialogue and fosters a workplace culture where ethical concerns are respected and swiftly addressed.
To support early detection and prompt action, we have established confidential internal channels for raising concerns about any potential malpractice in our business or supply chain. We encourage staff, suppliers, and contractors to report any suspicions of modern slavery without fear of discrimination or victimisation. All reports are promptly investigated, and appropriate action is taken in line with our disciplinary procedures and legal obligations.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually as part of our ongoing commitment to safeguarding people’s rights and improving our practices. Each year, we assess the effectiveness of our policies and procedures, taking feedback from team members and external partners, and amending our strategies as needed to reflect evolving risks and standards. This process ensures that preventing modern slavery remains at the core of our business strategy and objectives.
As a trusted flower delivery service in Bishops Stortford, serving both households and local businesses, we know our customers and our community rely on us to act with integrity and social responsibility. By maintaining robust measures to prevent modern slavery, we aim to ensure that every bouquet and arrangement delivered represents not only beauty but also ethical assurance.
