Modern Slavery Statement – Flower Delivery Kenton
Our Zero Tolerance Approach
At Flower Delivery Kenton, we recognise our responsibility, as a leading florist serving homes and businesses in Kenton, to uphold the highest ethical standards within our organisation and supply chains. We have a strict zero tolerance policy regarding modern slavery and human trafficking. We are steadfast in preventing, detecting, and responding to any form of forced labour, exploitation, or human rights abuse associated with our operations and procurement activities.
Supplier Due Diligence and Risk Management
Our flowers and associated products are sourced from reputable growers and suppliers who share our values. Every supplier is required to demonstrate their own compliance with laws against modern slavery, and to provide evidence of fair employment practices. Regular risk assessments are conducted to identify potential areas of vulnerability within our supply chain, and we take remedial action where needed to ensure all flowers and products are sourced responsibly. New suppliers are thoroughly vetted, including checks of their labour practices and working conditions, prior to any agreement being made. Periodic reviews of existing suppliers form an integral part of our ongoing commitment to due diligence and continuous improvement.
Training Our Team
We believe that awareness and education are critical in combating modern slavery. As part of our commitment, we provide tailored training to all staff members, ensuring they understand what constitutes modern slavery, the signs to look for, and their role in promoting ethical business practices. Employees who are involved in procurement and supplier management receive additional guidance, empowering them to ask the right questions and act if they have concerns.
Safe and Confidential Reporting Channels
Flower Delivery Kenton is committed to fostering a culture of openness, support, and accountability. We maintain clear internal channels through which workers and stakeholders can report concerns about modern slavery in confidence, without fear of retribution. Reports are promptly investigated, and we are dedicated to taking appropriate action whenever issues are brought to our attention. Supporting whistleblowers is a vital part of our overall response, and all concerns are treated seriously and respectfully.
Continuous Review and Improvement
Our Modern Slavery Statement is not a static document; it is reviewed and updated annually to reflect changes in law, best practices, and the evolving risks facing the flower industry. We assess the effectiveness of our policies, training, and processes each year, and adjust as necessary to ensure that our approach remains robust and responsive. Responsible business practices and safeguarding human rights are priorities for every member of the Flower Delivery Kenton team.
Our Responsibility as a Trusted Kenton Florist
As a trusted florist serving the people and businesses of Kenton, we understand that our customers rely on us not only for quality flowers but also for integrity, accountability, and leadership in social responsibility. This Modern Slavery Statement reflects our unwavering commitment to these principles. We welcome questions from customers and partners about our practices, and we share our progress openly as part of our dedication to ethical trade and community values.
