Flower Delivery Becontree Heath takes the responsibility of being a trusted local florist with the utmost seriousness. As part of the Becontree Heath community, our customers include both households and businesses, all of whom expect the highest ethical standards from us. We are fully committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships, and to implementing systems and controls to ensure modern slavery is not taking place anywhere in our own business or that of our suppliers.
We operate a zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation. All directors, employees, and contractors are required to comply with this policy without exception. We are committed to taking all necessary steps to ensure our business and supply chain remain free of these practices, reflecting the trust local customers place in us.
Our reputation relies on ensuring our suppliers and business partners share our values. Flower Delivery Becontree Heath conducts thorough due diligence on all suppliers before entering into a business relationship. This includes risk-based assessments of their policies and practices relating to modern slavery and their supply chains. We require our suppliers to confirm in writing that they take reasonable steps within their operations to eliminate modern slavery, and that they comply with all relevant laws and regulations. We reserve the right to audit suppliers and terminate contracts where evidence of modern slavery is found or adequate safeguards are not in place.
We understand that awareness and vigilance are key in the fight against modern slavery. All our staff receive training during induction and through regular refreshers so they understand the risks and can identify signs of modern slavery or human trafficking. Our training covers what constitutes modern slavery, how to spot warning signs in the workplace or supply chain, and the steps to take if concerns arise. By empowering our team, we create a culture of responsibility and alertness at every level.
Flower Delivery Becontree Heath encourages all staff, suppliers, contractors, and members of the public to report any concerns related to modern slavery through our confidential reporting channels. These channels ensure that all reports are taken seriously, investigated promptly, and action is taken where necessary. We strictly prohibit retaliation against anyone who raises a genuine concern in good faith.
This statement and our approach to preventing modern slavery are reviewed annually at a senior level. We assess the effectiveness of our policies and procedures, and update our practices to adapt to any new risks or regulatory requirements. Where improvements are identified, we act decisively to drive higher standards of protection and transparency.
As a longstanding florist serving Becontree Heath, we recognise our responsibility to our customers, staff, community, and suppliers. By maintaining the highest standards in ethical trade and business practice, we contribute to a fairer, safer local environment for everyone. This Modern Slavery Statement affirms our dedication to eradicating modern slavery and protecting the dignity of all people we engage with, directly or indirectly, in the course of our business.
