Flower Delivery Woodside Park Modern Slavery Statement
Our Approach to Modern Slavery
At Flower Delivery Woodside Park, we are wholly committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses throughout Woodside Park, we recognise our responsibility to guard against modern slavery and human trafficking across every aspect of our operations and wider supply chain. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines our policy, procedures, and ongoing commitment to upholding the highest ethical standards in sourcing and delivering our products.
Zero Tolerance Policy
We operate a strict zero tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery, forced labour, or human trafficking. This commitment applies not only to our own team but extends throughout our supply chain, from flower growers to logistics and packaging providers. We expect all those who work with and for us to fully comply with these standards. Any evidence of modern slavery identified within our supply chain or operations will result in immediate action.
Supplier Due Diligence
Flower Delivery Woodside Park conducts regular due diligence on all suppliers and partners. Before entering into agreements with new suppliers, we evaluate their labour practices and consider only those who align with our ethical values. Our supplier assessments examine compliance with employment laws, working conditions, and respect for workers’ rights. Contracts with suppliers require adherence to our anti-slavery standards, and we periodically review suppliers’ performance to ensure continued compliance.
Staff Training and Awareness
We recognise that building awareness among our team is crucial in preventing modern slavery. All staff members receive training to help them understand what modern slavery is, how to identify potential risks, and what steps to take if they have concerns. Training is tailored to our business and regularly refreshed to ensure that everyone is equipped to spot and report suspected issues, whether internally or within our supply chain.
Reporting Concerns
We encourage and expect anyone—whether a member of staff, supplier, or member of the public—to report any suspicion or evidence of modern slavery connected to Flower Delivery Woodside Park. We maintain open channels for reporting concerns, which can be made anonymously if preferred. Any concerns raised are taken seriously, investigated thoroughly, and dealt with in accordance with our disciplinary and remedial processes.
Annual Review and Continuous Improvement
We are committed to regularly reviewing and updating our policies and practices relating to modern slavery. Each year, our approach is assessed to identify areas for improvement and to ensure that we remain vigilant and proactive. In this review process, we consider developments in guidance, legislation, and industry best practices, so we can continue to uphold the highest standards in our local business and beyond.
Reflecting Our Community Responsibility
As a key part of the Woodside Park community, we understand that our actions have a wider impact on the lives of those we serve and work with. Our dedication to preventing modern slavery is integral to our reputation as a trusted florist for local households and businesses. By embedding ethical principles in everything we do, we strive not just to meet, but to exceed our responsibilities to our customers and the wider community.
