Flower Delivery Longford Modern Slavery Statement

Our Zero Tolerance Policy

At Flower Delivery Longford, we are dedicated to conducting our business with the highest ethical standards and integrity. We maintain a zero tolerance approach to modern slavery, including forced labour, human trafficking, and child labour, in every aspect of our operations. We recognise our responsibility not just as a local florist, but also as employers and members of the Longford community who care deeply about the welfare of all people involved in our supply chains.

Supplier Due Diligence

We work closely with suppliers both locally and internationally to ensure that they share our commitment to eradicating modern slavery. Our supplier selection process includes thorough due diligence, where we assess prospective partners for any risks associated with modern slavery practices. Where relevant, we request documentation and confirmation of compliance with applicable laws and industry standards. Contracts with our suppliers include explicit clauses requiring adherence to our ethical standards and zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery. Regular reviews and spot checks are carried out to support ongoing vigilance.

Staff Training and Awareness

Empowering our staff is key to upholding our responsibility as a trusted Longford florist. All staff members receive training on how to identify, prevent, and report any concerns related to modern slavery. Through induction sessions and ongoing learning, we ensure everyone understands both the signs of modern slavery and the importance of speaking up. Training resources are updated regularly to reflect evolving risks and legislation.

Reporting Channels

Flower Delivery Longford maintains transparent and accessible channels for staff and suppliers to raise concerns or suspicions anonymously if desired. We actively encourage reporting of any unethical behaviour, suspected exploitation, or breaches of our policy. Any report is taken seriously and investigated promptly, ensuring no retaliation for genuine concerns raised in good faith.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

Our approach to tackling modern slavery is reviewed on at least an annual basis by our management team. During this review, we assess the effectiveness of our procedures, discuss any incidents reported or identified, and adapt our policies where improvements can be made. This annual review underlines our commitment to continuous improvement and to leading by example within the Longford business community.

Our Responsibility as a Local Florist

We understand that our customers—households, businesses, and organisations across Longford—expect ethical practices throughout our supply chain. This modern slavery statement is an open reflection of our ongoing commitment to safeguarding human rights, supporting the local community, and maintaining the trust placed in us as your local florist. We are dedicated to delivering beautiful flowers with full respect for ethical standards at every stage.
