As a trusted Oxford florist serving local households and businesses, Flower Delivery Oxford takes its responsibility to uphold the highest ethical standards seriously. We are committed to playing our part in eradicating modern slavery and human trafficking in both our operations and broader supply chains. Modern slavery is a global issue, and we recognise our role in ensuring that our business and those we work with observe fundamental human rights and dignity.
We have a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, human trafficking, child labour, and exploitative working conditions. This approach applies not only to our own business activities but also to our suppliers, contractors, and partners. We believe that providing beautiful flowers and service to our Oxford community goes hand-in-hand with a deep respect for ethical, lawful and humane practices at every stage of the supply chain.
Our sourcing and procurement processes are designed to ensure that all suppliers adhere to our ethical standards. We conduct due diligence checks when engaging new suppliers, particularly those providing flowers or other resources from regions identified as presenting higher modern slavery risks. Our evaluation processes require suppliers to confirm their compliance with anti-slavery and anti-trafficking laws. We look for transparency in labour and sourcing practices, and we reserve the right to audit or terminate relationships where breaches are identified or suspected.
Continuous staff awareness is integral to our fight against modern slavery. We provide relevant training to our team members, helping them understand the signs of modern slavery and their role in identifying and reporting any concerns. This training covers the practical application of our policies, potential risk indicators in the supply chain, and the importance of protecting vulnerable individuals. Our goal is to empower all employees to act with confidence and responsibility in upholding our values.
Flower Delivery Oxford encourages a culture of openness and accountability. All staff and stakeholders are encouraged to raise concerns or suspicions about modern slavery, whether relating to our own operations or our suppliers, without fear of retaliation. We have established confidential internal channels where such concerns can be reported and will be taken seriously and investigated thoroughly. We commit to addressing any identified issues promptly and appropriately, and to fully cooperating with relevant authorities where necessary.
Reflecting our ongoing vigilance and commitment, this Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually. We monitor developments in legislation, best practice, and supply chain risks to keep our approach effective and up-to-date. Recommendations and insights from our annual review inform any necessary actions or policy improvements. This ensures Flower Delivery Oxford remains resolute in our stand against all forms of modern slavery.
Serving Oxford’s households and businesses, we know that trust is the foundation of our relationship with the community. By embedding ethical practices throughout all aspects of our business, we aim to offer not just quality floral arrangements, but the assurance that our operations reflect genuine care and respect for people at every stage.
