As a trusted florist serving the Potters Bar community, Flower Delivery Potters Bar recognises our responsibility to uphold the highest ethical standards in all aspects of our business. We are fully committed to combatting modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. This statement outlines our ongoing actions and strategies to ensure there is no place for modern slavery within our business or among those who supply us, reflecting our duty of care to the households and businesses we serve.
Our approach is unequivocal: we operate a zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. We expect the same high standards from all of our contractors, suppliers, and business partners. Any suspected or confirmed instance of modern slavery will result in the immediate cessation of the relationship and escalation to the relevant authorities as appropriate. Our practices are designed to foster a safe and fair working environment across every link in our supply chain.
Flower Delivery Potters Bar takes careful steps to select and maintain relationships with reputable suppliers, prioritising transparency and accountability. Our due diligence process includes evaluating suppliers’ modern slavery policies, risk management procedures, and compliance with relevant legislation. We require suppliers to agree to our ethical code of conduct as a condition of doing business. Where there is higher risk—such as where products are sourced internationally—we conduct additional checks to ensure our suppliers’ operations remain free from exploitation.
Our staff are the foundation of our modern slavery prevention efforts. All team members, from front-of-house to procurement, receive thorough training on recognising potential indicators of modern slavery and understanding our reporting procedures. New hires are trained as part of their induction, and existing staff participate in regular refreshers to stay up-to-date with best practices and legal developments. This cultivates a vigilant workplace atmosphere where everyone is empowered to take effective action if concerns arise.
We actively encourage a culture of openness and responsibility. All employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders are able to raise concerns regarding modern slavery without fear of reprisal. Concerns can be reported through designated channels, where they are handled respectfully and confidentially. We provide clear guidelines on the internal reporting process, and in cases where it is appropriate, we may escalate the matter to the relevant authorities. All reports are fully investigated and documented to ensure transparency and accountability.
This Modern Slavery Statement and our supporting policies are subject to an annual review by senior management. We assess the effectiveness of our measures, update our procedures where required, and monitor progress against our commitments. This continual improvement process ensures that our efforts to identify, address, and prevent modern slavery evolve with the changing nature of our business and supply chains.
Our responsibility to the Potters Bar community is at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to providing ethical, trustworthy flower delivery services to local households and businesses. By upholding strict modern slavery prevention measures, we aim to inspire confidence in our customers and contribute to a fairer society.
This statement replaces all previous versions and reflects our ongoing dedication to ethical business practices. It will be reviewed and updated annually to ensure that our commitments remain robust and effective.
