At Flower Delivery Hertford, we pride ourselves on being a trusted florist for residents and businesses across Hertford. As a responsible local enterprise, we are dedicated to upholding the highest ethical standards in every aspect of our operations. We are firmly committed to preventing any form of modern slavery and human trafficking within our business and supply chains. This statement outlines the steps we take to prevent modern slavery and affirms our zero tolerance approach to any such practices.
We operate a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking across all areas of our business. This commitment applies not only to our direct operations but also extends throughout our supply chains. We expect the same high standards from all our suppliers, contractors, and partners, and will not condone or accept any activity that undermines the dignity and freedom of individuals.
As florists, the quality and source of our flowers and related products are of utmost importance. To ensure that modern slavery has no place in our supply chain, we conduct risk assessments and carry out due diligence on all suppliers. This includes vetting procedures for new suppliers and ongoing reviews for existing partners. We ask our suppliers to confirm their own compliance with anti-slavery laws and insist that they, in turn, require similar standards from their own suppliers. Should any risks or breaches be identified, we will take appropriate action, which may include ending the supplier relationship.
All Flower Delivery Hertford staff—regardless of their role—are trained to understand the risks related to modern slavery and human trafficking. Our training covers how to recognise warning signs, where vulnerabilities may exist, and the appropriate steps to take if suspicious activities are noted. We foster a culture of vigilance and encourage open communication so every team member understands our expectations and commitments regarding human rights and labour practices.
We provide clear and accessible channels for reporting concerns related to modern slavery, both within our workplace and among our suppliers. All reports are treated confidentially and are investigated promptly and thoroughly. We support anyone who raises genuine concerns in good faith, knowing that tackling modern slavery requires open dialogue and collective vigilance.
Combating modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility. To ensure our approach remains robust and effective, we review and update this statement each year. This process also includes assessing the effectiveness of our policies, training programmes, and due diligence measures. Where necessary, we strengthen our procedures or take additional steps in response to evolving risks or new learnings.
As a florist serving local households and businesses, Flower Delivery Hertford recognises the importance of maintaining high standards and trust within our community. Addressing modern slavery is not just a legal or ethical requirement, but a fundamental part of how we conduct business and support our community’s values. We remain committed to ensuring that every bouquet and service we provide is rooted in integrity and respect for all individuals involved in our supply chain.
