Our Zero Tolerance Approach

At Flower Delivery Malden Rushett, we uphold the highest ethical standards across all our operations and relationships. We strongly condemn all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. Our business, as a leading florist serving households and businesses in Malden Rushett, is committed to ensuring that slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, and human trafficking have no place in our supply chains or business activities. We maintain a strict zero tolerance policy regarding modern slavery and expect the same commitment from everyone involved in our business, including employees, contractors, business partners, and suppliers.

Supplier Due Diligence and Risk Assessment

We recognise that our supply chains are critical to our values and the trust placed in us by our community. To maintain the integrity of our sourcing processes, we conduct robust due diligence on all new and existing suppliers. This includes assessing their own practices regarding the prevention of modern slavery and evaluating the risk of unethical labour within their operations. Suppliers are required to confirm that they adhere to our ethical standards, and we may request supporting documentation as evidence of their compliance. Any supplier found to be involved in or facilitating modern slavery will have their relationship with us terminated immediately.

Staff Training and Awareness

Educating our employees is vital to our efforts against modern slavery. All staff members at Flower Delivery Malden Rushett receive regular training to recognise the signs of modern slavery, understand our policies, and know how to respond if concerns arise. We believe empowering our team through knowledge is essential in fostering a vigilant and responsible workplace culture. Training resources are updated regularly to keep pace with changing legislation and industry best practices.

Reporting Channels and Confidentiality

We strive to cultivate a transparent and open working environment where all individuals feel safe voicing concerns. Employees and external parties are encouraged to report any suspicions or evidence of modern slavery within our business or supply chain. All reports are investigated thoroughly and sensitively, with the utmost respect for confidentiality. No one shall suffer any detrimental treatment for raising a genuine concern in good faith.

Annual Statement Review and Ongoing Improvement

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure its continued relevance and effectiveness. As part of our ongoing commitment to combating modern slavery, we monitor our practices, update our policies, and incorporate feedback from stakeholders.
