Modern Slavery Statement and Our Social Responsibility

Modern Slavery Statement

Flower Delivery Temple is dedicated to upholding the highest ethical standards throughout our operations as a trusted Temple florist serving local households and businesses. In accordance with the Modern Slavery Act and our moral commitments, we have a zero tolerance policy on all forms of modern slavery including human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation both within our operations and throughout our supply chain.

Zero Tolerance Policy

We categorically prohibit the use of modern slavery or human trafficking in any part of our business. We expect the same uncompromising standards from all individuals and organisations we work with, including business partners, suppliers, and contractors. Compliance with these standards is an essential term of doing business with us.

Supplier Due Diligence

As part of our ongoing risk assessment, we conduct strict due diligence of all new and existing suppliers. This assessment includes evaluating their policies, practices, and transparency in relation to labour rights and working conditions. Any supplier found to be involved in activities linked to modern slavery will be immediately investigated and, where necessary, terminated from our supply chain.

Suppliers are required to warrant that neither their business nor any part of their supply chain involves slavery or human trafficking. We also seek evidenced compliance with all relevant legal requirements regarding anti-slavery measures.

Staff Training and Awareness

Our team receives regular training to recognise the signs of modern slavery and fully understand the risks involved. This empowers staff at all levels to be vigilant and proactive in identifying suspicious activity and ensuring our business remains free from abuse. Ongoing updates and refresher training ensure everyone is aware of their roles and responsibilities in this crucial area.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We have established clear and confidential reporting channels for concerns related to modern slavery. Staff, suppliers, and members of the public can report suspicions without fear of retaliation. All reports are taken seriously, investigated in a timely manner, and acted on appropriately, in line with our procedures and legal obligations. Our whistleblowing policies further protect individuals raising genuine concerns, ensuring their voices are heard and valued.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

We are committed to continual improvement of our policies and procedures regarding modern slavery. Our Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed and updated every year. As part of this process, we evaluate our compliance, review any incidents, measure effectiveness, and adapt in response to evolving legislation and best practice guidance. Regular engagement with our suppliers and team supports our goal of maintaining an ethical and transparent business.

Our Commitment to the Community

As a respected Temple florist, Flower Delivery Temple understands the trust placed in us by households and businesses in our local community. Our actions reflect our core values and long-standing responsibility to act ethically and protect the most vulnerable people in society. By upholding high standards in all we do, we aim to contribute positively and set an example for others in our industry.

This Modern Slavery Statement is approved by the leadership of Flower Delivery Temple and will be reviewed on an annual basis to ensure ongoing compliance and impact.
