Modern Slavery Statement – Flower Delivery Peckham
Our Commitment
At Flower Delivery Peckham, we are steadfastly committed to ensuring that modern slavery and human trafficking have no place in our business or supply chains. As a trusted Peckham florist serving local households and businesses, we recognise our responsibility to uphold the highest ethical standards and to contribute positively to our community. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the measures we take to prevent, identify, and address any risks of modern slavery within our operations.
Zero Tolerance Policy
We operate a strict zero tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery, forced labour, or human trafficking. Our zero tolerance approach is reflected in all our company policies and in the relationships we build with our suppliers and partners. We do not accept or condone any situation in which individuals are exploited, and we expect the same stringent standards from everyone connected to Flower Delivery Peckham.
Supplier Due Diligence
Ensuring ethical sourcing is at the core of our business. All suppliers, whether providing flowers, packaging, or ancillary services, undergo a due diligence process before beginning any working relationship with us. This process includes:
- Verification of the supplier's identity and legal status
- Review of their own anti-slavery policies and compliance
- Ongoing monitoring and assessment throughout our engagement with them
Staff Training and Awareness
We equip our team with the knowledge they need to help prevent modern slavery. All employees at Flower Delivery Peckham receive training on how to recognise potential signs of exploitation, the steps to take if they identify a concern, and an overview of relevant legal and ethical obligations. This training is refreshed periodically to ensure awareness remains high and new team members are fully educated from the outset of their employment. We believe that empowering our staff is fundamental to maintaining a vigilant and responsible workplace culture.
Reporting Channels
We are committed to transparency and providing clear reporting mechanisms. Anyone associated with Flower Delivery Peckham — from employees and direct suppliers to contractors — is encouraged to raise concerns about possible instances of modern slavery or unethical behaviour. We guarantee that all concerns will be treated seriously and confidentially. Reports can be made in person or via a secure written process. We take prompt action on all reported matters to ensure our zero tolerance approach is always upheld.
Annual Review
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure it reflects current legal requirements, our evolving business practice, and the highest ethical expectations. Each year, we re-examine our policies, supplier relationships, training programmes, and reporting mechanisms to make sure they remain fit for purpose and robust in identifying and preventing modern slavery. Feedback from staff, suppliers, and our community is welcomed as part of this process.
Our Responsibility to Peckham
As a local florist, we understand the importance of maintaining the trust and confidence of our customers and neighbours. Flower Delivery Peckham is proud to be part of the Peckham community, and our commitment to preventing modern slavery is a reflection of the respect and care we hold for those we serve. We believe that ethical business practice benefits everyone and remain dedicated to transparency, accountability, and continual improvement.
