At Flower Delivery Sydenham, we recognise the grave impact of modern slavery and human trafficking within all industries, including the floral sector. We are dedicated to ensuring that slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, and human trafficking have no place in our business or supply chain. Protecting the rights and dignity of individuals forms the foundation of our daily operations and business partnerships in Sydenham and beyond.
We operate a strict zero tolerance policy toward all forms of modern slavery. This policy applies to every part of our business, from our internal practices to our dealings with suppliers and business partners. Every staff member, supplier, and contractor is expected to uphold high ethical standards and comply fully with our anti-slavery requirements. Any proven breach of this policy results in decisive action, which may include termination of contracts or employment.
We understand that robust supplier relationships are vital in preventing modern slavery. Therefore, we conduct thorough due diligence before engaging with new suppliers. This process includes vetting for commitments to fair labour, safe working conditions, and compliance with anti-slavery legislation. We seek written assurances that our suppliers and their own supply chains are free from slavery, child labour, and forced labour. Where concerns arise, we actively seek clarification and expect corrective action as a condition of continuing our business relationship.
Awareness of modern slavery risks begins with our people. We regularly train our team—including florists, delivery staff, and administrative colleagues—to spot the signs of exploitation and understand our reporting procedures. Training is tailored to our business context, reinforcing practical responsibilities and the consequences of ignoring modern slavery risks. This ongoing education supports a vigilant and responsible workplace culture.
Flower Delivery Sydenham ensures that all employees, suppliers, and even customers understand how to raise concerns about suspected modern slavery. We encourage open communication and foster a culture where speaking up is not only supported but expected. All reports, whether made confidentially or openly, are fully investigated without fear of retaliation. Appropriate action is always taken to address proven concerns, reinforcing our wider commitment to ethical conduct.
Our approach to modern slavery is subject to annual review by the management team. We assess the effectiveness of our existing policies, supplier vetting processes, and staff training, identifying areas for improvement in line with evolving best practice and legal requirements. This ensures our anti-slavery stance remains robust and that we continue to raise standards year on year.
As a trusted Sydenham florist, Flower Delivery Sydenham serves both local households and businesses. We consider it our responsibility to set an example in ethical business conduct and supply chain integrity. Our commitment to preventing modern slavery underscores the respect we hold for our customers and our community, ensuring our beautiful flowers are delivered with values as vibrant as the arrangements themselves.
