Modern Slavery Statement | Flower Delivery Harold Park

Our Approach to Preventing Modern Slavery

At Flower Delivery Harold Park, we are committed to upholding human rights and promoting ethical practices within every aspect of our business. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses in Harold Park, we recognise the seriousness of modern slavery and human trafficking, and we are dedicated to ensuring that these practices have no place in our supply chains or operations. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps we take to identify, prevent, and address risks associated with modern slavery.

Zero Tolerance Policy

We operate under a strict zero tolerance policy for modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour. Our expectations are clearly defined for all employees, suppliers, and business partners. Any indication or evidence of involvement in unlawful or unethical employment practices will not be tolerated and will lead to immediate action, which may include termination of contracts or employment, and reporting to authorities where appropriate.

Supplier Due Diligence

We recognise that our supply chain can present potential risks, especially as we procure flowers and materials from various sources. To mitigate these risks, Flower Delivery Harold Park conducts supplier due diligence on all new and existing vendors. We require our suppliers to confirm adherence to anti-slavery and human trafficking laws and to demonstrate transparent working practices. Periodic audits and ongoing supplier assessments form part of our monitoring processes to ensure continual compliance with our standards.

Staff Training and Awareness

Our staff are the first line of defence in recognising and responding to signs of modern slavery. We provide regular training and awareness sessions to all team members, ensuring they understand the forms of modern slavery, how to identify risk factors, and what actions to take if concerns arise. This training is updated as legislation or best practices evolve, empowering our employees to remain vigilant.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

It is essential that everyone at Flower Delivery Harold Park feels able to raise concerns confidently and without fear of retaliation. We maintain clear internal channels for employees and suppliers to report suspected instances of modern slavery or unethical behaviour. All reports are treated confidentially and investigated thoroughly. Where necessary, we will cooperate with law enforcement and other relevant bodies to take appropriate action.

Review, Transparency, and Continuous Improvement

This statement and our wider procedures are reviewed on an annual basis to ensure they remain effective and reflect changes in law or our business activities. We continuously seek to improve our approach by reviewing the latest guidance, enhancing supply chain transparency, and soliciting feedback from staff and partners. Our annual review demonstrates to our customers in Harold Park and the wider area that we take our ethical responsibilities seriously.

Responsibility to Our Community

As a florist serving families and businesses throughout Harold Park, we understand the importance of trust and accountability. Our commitment to combatting modern slavery is an integral part of the service we provide and the relationships we build with our customers and suppliers. By actively embracing our responsibilities, we aim to make a positive contribution to our community and set a standard within our industry.
