Flower Delivery Motspur Park: Modern Slavery Statement

Modern Slavery Policy and Commitment

At Flower Delivery Motspur Park, we recognise the crucial role we play as a trusted florist within the Motspur Park community, serving both local households and businesses. We are fully committed to upholding the highest standards of ethical practice, including rigorous efforts to prevent all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking across our business activities and throughout our supply chains.

Zero Tolerance Approach

We operate under a strict zero tolerance policy toward any acts of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation. Our commitment extends to all aspects of our business relationships—from our own staff to our valued network of suppliers and partners. We expect the same zero tolerance attitude from all parties whom we engage with in the course of supplying fresh flowers, floristry products, and services to our community.

Supplier Due Diligence

Flower Delivery Motspur Park understands that ethical sourcing is vital in the global floral industry. Before entering into agreements, we conduct thorough due diligence on all our suppliers to assess their compliance with applicable laws and ethical best practices regarding labour standards and human rights. This due diligence includes questionnaires, supplier declarations, and, where appropriate, further investigations or review of policies. We require all suppliers to confirm that they do not use forced, bonded, or involuntary labour of any kind. Periodic assessments are undertaken to ensure ongoing compliance across our supply chains.

Staff Training and Awareness

Staff at all levels within Flower Delivery Motspur Park receive training aimed at raising awareness about modern slavery and human trafficking. This training equips our team members to identify potential risks or signs of exploitation, both within our company and throughout our supply chain network. Regular updates help ensure the information remains current, reinforcing our collective vigilance in protecting human rights in our everyday business activities.

Reporting Procedures and Whistleblowing

We encourage all employees, suppliers, and stakeholders to report any suspicions or concerns regarding modern slavery within our business or supply chains. Flower Delivery Motspur Park has established clear and confidential internal reporting channels which protect the identity of whistleblowers and ensure that concerns can be raised without fear of retaliation or prejudice. We take all reports seriously and investigate them fully in line with our disciplinary procedures and legal obligations.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

Our anti-slavery commitments do not stand still. This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to assess our ongoing risks, the effectiveness of our measures, and to identify opportunities for improvement. Adjustments are made as necessary to ensure we remain at the forefront of best practice and legal compliance. Our review also takes into account evolving guidance, local context, and feedback from staff and our valued community clients.

Reflecting Our Local Responsibility

We place the highest value on the trust and confidence held by households and businesses in Motspur Park. Our Modern Slavery Statement reflects not just our legal obligations, but also our sense of social duty as a local florist committed to protecting human rights, supporting ethical trade, and contributing positively to our neighbourhood. We believe that only by working together can communities like ours remain vibrant, safe, and fair for all.

This statement covers the period from June 2024 and will be reviewed and updated annually.
