Flower Delivery Great Bookham is committed to conducting all aspects of our business with integrity, honesty, and transparency. As a trusted Great Bookham florist serving local households and businesses, we recognise our responsibility to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our own operations and our supply chains. Our dedication to protecting human rights underpins our mission to supply beautiful flowers while upholding ethical standards throughout every stage of our business.
We operate a strict zero tolerance policy regarding modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking in all forms. We oppose any practices that exploit workers or deny their basic rights, and we expect the same standards from our suppliers and business partners.
This policy is regularly communicated to all employees and suppliers to ensure absolute clarity about our position. Any violations are dealt with swiftly and decisively, in line with the seriousness of the offence.
Our flowers and related products are sourced only from suppliers whose practices align with our own ethical standards. We implement rigorous due diligence processes before entering into partnerships, including reviewing supplier policies, conducting risk assessments, and requesting evidence of compliance with anti-slavery laws.
We require our suppliers to confirm that they respect workers’ rights and can demonstrate clear measures to prevent modern slavery in their operations. Where appropriate, we seek contractual commitments from suppliers regarding anti-slavery practices as a condition of doing business with Flower Delivery Great Bookham.
We believe education is key to preventing exploitation. As such, we provide all staff with regular training to raise awareness of the signs of modern slavery and the importance of ethical conduct. Training includes guidance on how to recognise suspicious behaviour within supply chains and empowers employees to take action should they encounter any concerns.
New staff are introduced to our commitment against modern slavery as part of their induction, and ongoing refresher courses are provided to maintain vigilance across the team.
We actively encourage employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders to voice any concerns relating to potential modern slavery. We have established secure and confidential reporting channels to allow concerns to be raised without fear of reprisal. All reports are taken seriously and investigated thoroughly, with action taken where appropriate.
This open communication is central to our commitment to maintaining an ethical and transparent business environment, ensuring that everyone feels safe to speak out if they suspect malpractice.
We are committed to continuous improvement in our approach to tackling modern slavery. Each year, we formally review our policies, training programmes, supplier relationships, and reporting mechanisms to assess their effectiveness and make enhancements as necessary.
This statement, and the actions underpinning it, are reviewed annually by the senior management team to reflect changes in legal obligations, best practice guidance, and feedback from staff or suppliers.
As a longstanding part of the Great Bookham community, Flower Delivery Great Bookham acknowledges the trust placed in us by households and businesses alike. We believe that delivering beautiful flowers goes hand-in-hand with conducting business responsibly and setting a positive example within our community. Our commitment to fighting modern slavery is an integral part of upholding this trust every day.
