At Flower Delivery Willesden, we recognise our responsibility as a trusted florist serving the Willesden community, including local households and businesses. We are committed to operating with the utmost integrity and ensuring that our business and supply chains remain free from any form of modern slavery or human trafficking. This statement outlines the key steps we take to uphold ethical standards and protect the rights and dignity of all people connected to our operations.
Flower Delivery Willesden adopts a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. We believe that no person should be subjected to forced labour, servitude, or exploitation. Our commitment extends to every area of our business, from internal operations to the procurement of flowers, sundries, and related supplies. We expect all staff, partners, and suppliers to actively support this policy and uphold the highest standards of ethical conduct.
We understand the importance of transparency and accountability in our supply chain. All suppliers who work with Flower Delivery Willesden are required to acknowledge and comply with our anti-slavery and anti-trafficking expectations. We actively vet new suppliers for ethical sourcing practices and periodically review our existing partners. Key steps include seeking confirmation that suppliers adhere to local and international labour laws, and do not engage in or support modern slavery in any form. Where gaps or risks are identified, we seek clarification and expect corrective actions; failure to meet our standards will result in the termination of the business relationship.
We invest in ongoing training for all colleagues to raise awareness of modern slavery, equipping our team to identify and respond to potential risks. Training covers what constitutes modern slavery, the signs to watch for, and best practices in supplier management. New starters are briefed on our policies as part of their induction, and refresher sessions are provided to all staff annually. This ensures our employees are vigilant, informed, and aligned with our ethical commitments.
We are committed to creating an open culture where staff feel empowered and supported to report any concerns related to modern slavery or unethical practices, whether within our own operations or observed in our supply chain. Employees can raise concerns confidentially through established internal reporting channels. All reports are handled sensitively, investigated thoroughly, and appropriate action is taken in line with company policy and legal obligations.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed and updated every year to ensure its effectiveness and reflect any changes in legal requirements or best practice guidance. As part of our continuous improvement process, we reassess our policies, supplier assessments, and staff training annually. Feedback from staff and stakeholders is integral to this review, helping us refine our approach and reinforce our commitment to ethical business.
As a local business serving Willesden’s households and businesses, we know our actions matter. We strive not only to provide beautiful, high-quality flowers, but also to operate in a way that respects human rights and fosters trust. This statement is a reflection of our ongoing pledge to uphold the values expected of a responsible Willesden florist. Together, we are dedicated to maintaining an ethical and free-from-slavery supply chain, both today and in the years ahead.
