Modern Slavery Statement – Flower Delivery Luton
Introduction
Flower Delivery Luton is dedicated to providing beautiful, high-quality floral arrangements to local homes and businesses across Luton with integrity and responsibility. We recognise that modern slavery, including forced labour, human trafficking, and all forms of exploitation, is a global issue that can affect supply chains across every industry—including floristry. This statement sets out the steps we take to prevent any form of modern slavery within our operations and supply chain, reflecting our responsibility as a trusted florist serving the Luton community.
Zero Tolerance Policy
We have a strict zero tolerance policy with regards to modern slavery and human trafficking in any form. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships. All engagements with employees, suppliers, and service providers must be in accordance with the highest ethical standards and the principles enshrined in human rights legislation.
Supplier Due Diligence
As part of our responsibility to ensure ethical sourcing, we conduct rigorous due diligence on our suppliers. Flower Delivery Luton only partners with reputable suppliers who share our stance against modern slavery and demonstrate compliance with relevant legal and ethical standards. Prior to any partnership, suppliers are required to provide assurances regarding their labour practices and supply chain transparency. Ongoing reviews and spot checks are conducted to ensure continued adherence to ethical standards throughout our purchasing operations.
Staff Training and Awareness
We understand that our employees are the first line of defence in identifying and preventing modern slavery. As such, Flower Delivery Luton provides regular training and resources to ensure that all staff members can recognise signs of modern slavery and understand the procedures to follow should any suspicion or concern arise. Training includes awareness of indicators of forced labour, responsibilities to report concerns, and an understanding of our company policies.
Reporting Concerns
We have formal channels in place for employees, suppliers, and anyone connected with Flower Delivery Luton to raise concerns about potential instances of modern slavery or unethical behaviour. All reported concerns are treated with sensitivity and are thoroughly investigated by management, with appropriate action taken where necessary. No individual will face repercussions for reporting a genuine concern, in line with our commitment to providing a safe, transparent, and supportive working environment.
Annual Review and Continuous Improvement
Our Modern Slavery Statement, practices, and procedures are reviewed annually to ensure effectiveness and ongoing compliance with the Modern Slavery Act and other relevant legislation. We strive for continual improvement in our fight against modern slavery by reviewing supplier documentation, seeking staff feedback, and keeping up to date with best practice guidance from relevant authorities and stakeholders.
