At Flower Delivery Oxted, we pride ourselves on operating with integrity and responsibility. As a trusted Oxted-based florist serving local households and businesses, we recognise our role in preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our business and supply chain. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines our approach and unwavering commitment to ethical practices.
We maintain a robust zero tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery, forced labour, or human trafficking within our operations and throughout our supply network. We are dedicated to ensuring that every bouquet and floral arrangement we deliver originates from processes free from exploitation, and we expect the same high standards from all our partners and suppliers.
Our procurement process includes rigorous due diligence checks to ensure that all suppliers and business partners share our values and commitment to ethical labour practices. We assess our suppliers on their policies, practices, and transparency regarding worker rights and working conditions. Where possible, we request evidence of anti-slavery and human trafficking measures, and we prioritise working with suppliers who demonstrate clear ethical sourcing and fair employment policies. Any concerns raised during these assessments can lead to reviewing or terminating supplier relationships.
Equipping our team with the knowledge to identify and respond to potential signs of modern slavery is crucial. We provide regular training and guidance to our staff, informing them of the risks, red flags, and our internal reporting policies. Our training ensures that employees understand the forms modern slavery can take—whether in local operations or supply chains abroad—and empowers them to uphold our zero tolerance culture in their daily roles.
Flower Delivery Oxted has clear channels in place for staff and stakeholders to report any concerns or suspected incidents of modern slavery. Reports can be made anonymously and are treated with the utmost confidentiality. Every concern is promptly investigated, ensuring the well-being of those who raise issues and the integrity of our business practices.
We are committed to the ongoing evaluation and improvement of our anti-slavery measures. This Modern Slavery Statement and our related policies are reviewed annually to capture evolving best practices and legal requirements, as well as lessons learned from our own operations and collaborative efforts with suppliers. Feedback from staff, suppliers, and the Oxted community is integral to strengthening our approach.
Flower Delivery Oxted deeply values the trust placed in us by the Oxted community. As a local business, we believe our ethical standards reflect not just upon ourselves, but also on the wider community we serve. By adopting and upholding a stringent stance against modern slavery and human trafficking, we reaffirm our commitment to ethical leadership within our industry and locality. We encourage anyone connected with our business to share concerns or suggestions, helping us uphold our responsibilities as your local florist.
