Modern Slavery Statement for Flower Delivery Hemel Hempstead

Our Commitment to Preventing Modern Slavery

As a leading florist serving Hemel Hempstead households and businesses, Flower Delivery Hemel Hempstead is committed to operating responsibly and ethically. We recognise our role in upholding human rights and preventing all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. This statement outlines the measures we take to safeguard against modern slavery and reaffirms our zero tolerance policy towards any form of exploitation.

Zero Tolerance Policy

At Flower Delivery Hemel Hempstead, we maintain a strict zero tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking. We are fully committed to ensuring that slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, and human trafficking play no part in our business—whether this concerns staff directly employed by us, temporary workers, or those within our supply chain.

Supplier Due Diligence

We understand that our responsibility extends beyond our immediate workforce to all those involved in delivering our products and services. We conduct comprehensive due diligence on all suppliers and partners to ensure their practices align with our ethical standards. This includes reviewing supplier policies, requesting evidence of anti-slavery practices, and reserving the right to audit suppliers where necessary. We expect all our suppliers and business partners to share our commitment to combating modern slavery and to cascade these standards through their own supply chains.

Staff Training and Awareness

Raising awareness among our team is a crucial defence against modern slavery. We provide regular training to ensure staff understand the signs of exploitation, forced labour, or trafficking, and know how to respond appropriately if concerns arise. All team members are made aware of our anti-slavery policy and the important role they play in promoting fair, just, and safe working conditions throughout the business and supply chain.

Reporting Channels

We are committed to providing safe and confidential channels through which staff, suppliers, or other stakeholders can voice concerns relating to slavery or human trafficking. Any genuine suspicion or evidence of exploitation will be taken seriously and investigated thoroughly. We will not tolerate retaliation against those who raise issues in good faith, and all reports will be handled discreetly and respectfully.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement and our anti-slavery policy are reviewed annually to ensure they remain effective, up to date, and in line with the latest legislation and best practices. We seek continuous improvement in our approach, listen to staff feedback, and adapt our policies as necessary to strengthen our defences against modern slavery.

Our Local Responsibility

As a trusted Hemel Hempstead florist, we recognise our responsibility to our community. By taking these steps with diligence and care, we seek to ensure that all our floral arrangements are crafted and delivered with integrity, free from exploitation or unethical practices. We value the trust placed in us by local families and businesses, and remain committed to upholding the highest standards of ethical conduct in all that we do.
