Flower Delivery Cowley is devoted to ensuring that its business operations and supply chains remain free from the threats of modern slavery and human trafficking. As a florist trusted by Cowley households and businesses, we recognise our responsibility to uphold and promote ethical practices throughout our activities. This statement expresses our proactive approach toward identifying, preventing, and addressing any risks of modern slavery within our organisation and among our suppliers.
We enforce a strict zero tolerance policy toward modern slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, and human trafficking across all aspects of our operations. This commitment extends to everyone we engage with, from suppliers and subcontractors to employees and local delivery partners. We clearly communicate to our stakeholders that any engagement in such exploitative practices is unacceptable and incompatible with our values.
As part of our ongoing commitment to ethical sourcing, we conduct regular and meaningful due diligence on all current and prospective suppliers. Before entering into or renewing agreements, the vetting process requires suppliers to provide assurances that their own practices – and those within their supply chain – are free from modern slavery risks. We request confirmations of compliance with relevant legislation and our own code of conduct. Any supplier unable to demonstrate robust anti-slavery measures may not be engaged or may have their contracts terminated.
To ensure our team is fully equipped to identify and address the risks of modern slavery, Flower Delivery Cowley invests in ongoing training. All team members, from florists and drivers to management, receive guidance on recognising the signs of modern slavery and human trafficking, especially as they relate to the floral supply chain. Refresher sessions are held routinely, with updates given as legislation or best practices evolve. This ensures staff remain vigilant and informed about their role in upholding our zero tolerance policy.
We maintain clear internal mechanisms for reporting any concerns or suspicions related to modern slavery or unethical conduct. Staff are encouraged to voice their concerns in a safe, confidential, and supportive environment without fear of retaliation. While direct contact details are not shared in this statement, all employees are aware of whom to approach within our organisation to make a report or raise a concern, ensuring swift and discrete handling of all disclosures.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure ongoing relevance and effectiveness. Feedback from staff, new developments in best practices, lessons learned from due diligence exercises, and any legislative updates are carefully considered in each review. Actions and priorities are set for the year ahead, with continuous improvement at the forefront of our anti-slavery strategy.
As a florist providing services to families and businesses throughout Cowley and the surrounding areas, Flower Delivery Cowley acknowledges our integral community role. We are committed to acting as a responsible business, providing assurance to our customers and partners that our flowers, products, and operations are untainted by exploitation. Upholding these principles is not only a matter of compliance, but of maintaining the trust and confidence that our local customers place in us every day.
