Flower Delivery Chase Cross Modern Slavery Statement
Our Commitment
Flower Delivery Chase Cross is unwavering in our commitment to operate as a responsible, ethical business. We recognise our legal and moral duty to prevent the occurrence of modern slavery and human trafficking in any part of our operations or supply chain. As a trusted florist serving the Chase Cross community, we are dedicated to upholding the highest standards of integrity and respect for human rights in everything we do.
Zero Tolerance Policy
Modern slavery is a grave violation of fundamental human rights and encompasses slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour, and human trafficking. Flower Delivery Chase Cross has a zero-tolerance policy toward all forms of modern slavery. We expect the same high standards from our contractors, suppliers, and business partners, and we require all members of our supply chain to act ethically and with integrity.
Supplier Due Diligence
We conduct rigorous due diligence on all our suppliers prior to entering into any partnership, and regularly review these relationships to ensure ongoing compliance. Suppliers must demonstrate that they operate in accordance with anti-slavery and human trafficking laws. This includes, where appropriate, providing documentation and evidence of their own practises and supply chains. We avoid doing business with any third parties who do not share our values or who fail to meet our standards.
Staff Training and Awareness
Our team members receive regular training to raise awareness of the risks related to modern slavery, both within our business and in our supply chain. This training covers how to identify signs of exploitation or coercion, and equips staff to recognise and respond appropriately. We believe that an informed workforce is a critical part of our defence against modern slavery, and we foster an open culture where any concerns can be discussed without fear of retaliation.
Reporting Channels
Flower Delivery Chase Cross encourages anyone—staff, suppliers, or customers—to speak up if they have concerns about modern slavery in any aspect of our business activities. We have internal procedures for reporting issues confidentially, with all disclosures treated seriously and investigated thoroughly. We are committed to supporting whistle-blowers and ensuring there are no adverse consequences for raising genuine concerns.
Annual Policy Review
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure its continued effectiveness, relevance, and compliance with all legal requirements. We assess new risks as our business evolves and make improvements to our processes where necessary. Updates and progress are shared with stakeholders as part of our ongoing transparency and accountability.
Our Local Responsibility
As a florist rooted in the Chase Cross area and serving the needs of local households and businesses, we recognise that strong, ethical practises are integral to the trust placed in us by our community. Maintaining vigilance against modern slavery is not only a legal obligation, but a key aspect of the responsible service we deliver every day.
