Flower Delivery Garston is committed to conducting all aspects of our business with integrity and transparency. Our modern slavery statement outlines the principles and practical steps we adhere to, ensuring that neither slavery nor human trafficking plays any part in our operations. As a trusted Garston florist serving local households and businesses, we recognise our responsibility to uphold fundamental human rights within our own workforce and throughout our supply chains.
We maintain an unequivocal zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. This applies across all levels of the organisation, including our direct employees, seasonal staff, and suppliers. Any individuals or organisations found to be engaging in or facilitating such practices are not permitted to engage with Flower Delivery Garston in any capacity.
Our reputation relies on the ethical standards of our suppliers as much as our own actions. We conduct regular due diligence to ensure that our suppliers share our commitment to eradicating modern slavery. This includes seeking confirmation that suppliers adhere to all relevant local and international laws, assessing their labour standards policies, and reserving the right to audit or review supplier compliance. Where concerns are raised, we engage directly with suppliers to understand their processes, and if necessary, terminate relationships if standards are not met.
All members of our team, from florists to delivery drivers, receive regular training to recognise the signs of modern slavery and human trafficking. This training covers the legal definitions, potential indicators in floral supply chains, and practical guidance on what to do if suspicions arise. We are committed to creating a workplace culture where raising concerns is actively encouraged and supported.
We have clear and confidential reporting channels for staff and suppliers who wish to raise concerns about potential instances of modern slavery. Our procedures ensure that any reports are investigated thoroughly and sensitively. Whistleblowers are protected from retaliation in all cases. Management takes all concerns seriously and acts promptly in line with our company values and legal obligations.
This statement is reviewed and updated annually to reflect new risks, changes in best practice, and evolving legal standards. The annual review also allows us to assess the effectiveness of our policies and training, identify any areas for improvement, and communicate progress internally.
As Flower Delivery Garston, our trusted position in the Garston community brings additional responsibility. Upholding the highest ethical standards is essential to retaining the confidence of our customers, business partners, and local residents. We believe every floral arrangement we provide should carry the reassurance that it was created within a fair and just supply chain.
