As a trusted florist proudly serving households and businesses in Harlow, Flower Delivery Harlow is committed to maintaining the highest ethical standards in every aspect of our operations. We believe that it is our fundamental responsibility to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking have no place in our supply chains or business. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps we take to safeguard human rights and promote fair practices, reflecting our dedication to social responsibility within our Harlow community.
Flower Delivery Harlow enforces a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. We unequivocally prohibit any form of forced labour, servitude, debt bondage, or exploitation of vulnerable individuals. This stance extends beyond our direct employees to everyone involved in delivering our services—including freelance drivers, temporary staff, and all tiers of our supply chain. We continuously monitor our practices and take immediate action if any concerns are identified.
Our commitment to ethical sourcing is at the heart of our supplier relationships. Prior to engaging with any supplier, we conduct thorough due diligence to assess their labour practices, including their own stance on modern slavery. This process involves requesting information about their policies, reviewing risk factors, and, where appropriate, asking suppliers to provide evidence of compliance with relevant legislation and ethical standards. Ongoing monitoring and periodic reviews are carried out to ensure continued adherence, and any supplier found in breach of our policy faces immediate reassessment and possible termination of partnership.
Awareness and education are crucial in combating modern slavery. All Flower Delivery Harlow employees and management receive regular training tailored to identifying, preventing, and reporting potential instances of modern slavery or exploitation. Training modules cover warning signs, legal obligations, and practical steps to escalate concerns safely. This ensures our team remains vigilant and equipped to uphold our strict ethical standards at all times.
We strive to foster an open culture where concerns about unethical conduct or suspected modern slavery can be reported without fear of reprisal. Multiple channels are available for staff, suppliers, and even customers to raise concerns confidentially. Every report is treated with the utmost seriousness and urgency; investigations are conducted promptly and appropriate actions are taken in line with our policy. Retaliation against whistleblowers is strictly prohibited and anyone raising genuine concerns will be supported throughout the process.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually by senior management to ensure its continued effectiveness and relevance. We assess emerging risks, evaluate the impact of our controls, and adjust our approach as necessary to uphold our responsibilities. Feedback from staff and stakeholders is welcomed as part of this process, helping us to uphold our position as a responsible Harlow florist serving our community with integrity.
At Flower Delivery Harlow, our efforts to combat modern slavery reflect more than legal compliance—they embody our commitment as a local business trusted by Harlow’s households and businesses. We are devoted to maintaining transparency and ethical integrity in everything we do, championing human rights across our supply chains, and setting a positive example for our industry and community.
