Flower Delivery Maidenhead Modern Slavery Statement

Our Approach to Modern Slavery

Flower Delivery Maidenhead is dedicated to operating ethically and with integrity in all aspects of our business. As a respected florist serving households and businesses across Maidenhead, we recognise our responsibility to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. We are committed to upholding the highest standards and ensuring that our business practices protect the rights and dignity of all individuals involved in our industry.

Zero Tolerance Policy

We operate a strict zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. We do not tolerate any form of forced labour, bonded labour, servitude, or human trafficking within our organisation or among our suppliers. This policy is fundamental to our values as a responsible local business and will be rigorously enforced in all areas of our activities.

Supplier Due Diligence

Our commitment to preventing exploitation extends to our relationships with suppliers and business partners. Before partnering with any flower growers, logistics companies, or other suppliers, we conduct thorough due diligence. This includes assessing each supplier’s labour practices, compliance with relevant laws, and their own anti-slavery policies. We prefer to work with partners who share our dedication to ethical supply chains and who provide transparency in their working conditions. Where appropriate, supplier contracts include specific clauses addressing modern slavery expectations.

Staff Training and Awareness

We believe education is a key tool in combating modern slavery. All staff members at Flower Delivery Maidenhead, regardless of seniority or role, receive regular training on recognising and reporting the signs of modern slavery. Training sessions cover the different forms that modern slavery can take, the vulnerabilities that can lead to exploitation, and our business protocols for escalating any concerns. Empowering our staff with this knowledge is essential to maintaining vigilance throughout the organisation.

Reporting Channels

We have established clear, confidential channels for staff, suppliers, and customers to raise any suspicions or concerns regarding modern slavery. Everyone is encouraged to report potential instances of exploitation or unethical behaviour without fear of retaliation. All reports are taken seriously, promptly investigated, and appropriate remedial actions are taken if necessary. We are committed to supporting affected individuals and rectifying any issues identified as a result of concerns raised.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

Flower Delivery Maidenhead reviews this Modern Slavery Statement annually to ensure its ongoing effectiveness and relevance to evolving risks. We continually assess and update our policies, procedures, and training in light of new challenges, industry best practices, and feedback from stakeholders. We are committed to being proactive in identifying and addressing potential areas of risk to ensure that we remain a trusted and responsible florist in Maidenhead.

Our Responsibility as a Local Florist

As a trusted florist supporting both households and businesses throughout Maidenhead, we recognise our influence and responsibility within the local community and wider industry. We strive not only to provide exceptional floral arrangements but also to set a positive example in business ethics. Upholding a robust approach to preventing modern slavery is a central part of our mission to act with integrity, safeguard human rights, and serve our community with pride.
