Modern Slavery Statement - Flower Delivery Norbiton

Introduction and Statement of Principles

As a trusted florist serving households and businesses throughout Norbiton, Flower Delivery Norbiton is dedicated to upholding the highest ethical standards and taking meaningful action against modern slavery and human trafficking. We recognise our responsibility to combat exploitation within our business operations and supply chains, reflecting our ongoing commitment to integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights.

Our Zero Tolerance Policy

We firmly enforce a zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. Flower Delivery Norbiton does not tolerate, under any circumstances, the use of forced, coerced, or child labour in any part of our operations. This commitment extends to all relationships and activities, whether direct or indirect, ensuring that everyone connected with our business is treated with dignity and respect.

Supplier Due Diligence

Our floral arrangements and products rely on collaboration with a network of suppliers, both local and international. We have established a supplier due diligence process that requires all suppliers to adhere to ethical standards in line with the Modern Slavery Act and our own internal policies. Prospective and existing suppliers are assessed for their labour practices, compliance with relevant legislation, and commitment to eliminating any risk of modern slavery.

We require that all suppliers provide clear information about their own supply chains and demonstrate active measures to ensure fair employment practices. In cases where we identify non-compliance or concerns, we reserve the right to terminate the supplier relationship.

Staff Training and Awareness

Ensuring that our staff are informed and vigilant is essential to the effectiveness of our anti-slavery commitments. All staff at Flower Delivery Norbiton undergo training and awareness sessions highlighting the signs of modern slavery, the risks associated with supply chain management, and our internal reporting procedures. We promote a workplace culture that encourages open discussions about ethical concerns and supports employees in raising questions or issues without fear of retaliation.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We maintain confidential channels through which employees, suppliers, and stakeholders can report suspected incidents of modern slavery or unethical labour practices. Any reports are taken seriously, investigated promptly, and addressed in accordance with our disciplinary procedures and legal obligations. We are committed to protecting whistleblowers from any form of detriment or retaliation, in line with best practice.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually or whenever significant changes in the law or our business operations occur. We use this review process to assess the effectiveness of our policies, identify areas for improvement, and set new objectives for the future. Feedback from staff, suppliers, and our community informs our ongoing efforts to ensure full transparency and accountability throughout our supply chain and business environment.

Responsibility to Our Norbiton Community

As a florist trusted by families and local enterprises alike, we recognise that our commitment to ethical standards not only safeguards vulnerable individuals but also strengthens our role within the Norbiton community. By leading through example and upholding these principles, we fulfil our promise to deliver not just flowers but also trust, quality, and care to every household and business we serve.
