Modern Slavery Transparency Statement - Flower Delivery Cheshunt

Our Approach to Modern Slavery

At Flower Delivery Cheshunt, we are fully committed to playing our part in eradicating the risks of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and all forms of exploitation within our business and supply chain. As a trusted florist serving Cheshunt’s households and businesses, our responsibility goes beyond providing high-quality floral arrangements – it extends to ensuring that every aspect of our operations upholds human dignity, ethical practices, and the law.

Zero Tolerance Policy

We have a zero-tolerance stance on modern slavery. Any form of forced or compulsory labour, child labour, or human trafficking is strictly prohibited within our company and throughout our supply chain. Our staff, suppliers, and any third parties representing Flower Delivery Cheshunt are expected to comply fully with this standard. We will not knowingly engage with, or support, any organization that does not uphold these values.

Supplier Due Diligence

Flower Delivery Cheshunt works with a carefully selected network of suppliers, prioritising those who share our commitment to ethical practices. Before commencing any new supplier relationship, we conduct a due diligence process which may include background checks, reviewing policies and procedures, and obtaining declarations of compliance with anti-slavery laws. Existing suppliers are required to reaffirm their adherence to our ethical standards. Where necessary, we may request additional assurances or conduct further investigations to address any risks identified.

Staff Training and Awareness

We recognise that vigilance and knowledge are key to preventing modern slavery. All staff members are briefed on the signs of modern slavery and human trafficking, as well as our policies and the steps to take if they suspect wrongdoing. Our training ensures staff are not only informed of the legal requirements, but also empowered to ask questions and escalate any concerns. Refresher training is provided to maintain high standards of awareness.

Encouraging Reporting and Transparency

We actively encourage an open culture of reporting concerns related to modern slavery. All staff, suppliers, and partners are expected to raise any suspicions or incidents of unethical conduct, either internally through designated channels or, if necessary, directly with responsible authorities. Reports are handled with confidentiality and sensitivity, protecting those who come forward. No individual will suffer any detriment or retaliation as a result of reporting genuine concerns.

Review and Monitoring

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure ongoing effectiveness and relevance to our business operations. We update our processes to reflect changes in legislation and best practice. Where areas for improvement are identified, we are proactive in amending our procedures to better protect our staff, customers, and community.

Our Community Commitment

As a long-standing Cheshunt florist, we are trusted by local households and businesses to uphold the highest ethical standards. This statement demonstrates our ongoing commitment not only to compliance with legal obligations, but also to supporting the well-being and rights of everyone connected to our business. We invite all members of our community to support us in achieving these important aims.
