At Old Malden Florist, we are dedicated to conducting our business with the utmost integrity and respect for human rights. We recognise our duty as a trusted florist serving households and businesses across Old Malden to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking have no place in our operations or our supply chain. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps we are taking to uphold this commitment and comply with our obligations under the Modern Slavery Act.
Old Malden Florist maintains a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, servitude, human trafficking, and child labour. We make it clear to all staff, suppliers, and partners that any involvement in such practices is completely unacceptable. Our policy is communicated at every stage of our business operations, reinforcing our unwavering stance against unethical practices.
As part of our efforts to prevent modern slavery in our supply chain, we conduct thorough due diligence on all our suppliers. We expect our suppliers to share our commitment to ethical conduct and to operate in compliance with all relevant laws and standards. Our process includes risk assessments, supplier questionnaires, and checks to ensure that no aspect of their operations is linked to modern slavery or human trafficking. We reserve the right to terminate relationships with any suppliers found to be in breach of these ethical requirements.
We believe that education and awareness are essential in the fight against modern slavery. All our employees receive training on recognising the signs of modern slavery and understanding their role in reporting concerns. This regular training equips our team to identify issues both within our own workplace and in our interactions with suppliers. We encourage a culture where questions can be raised sensitively and appropriately, ensuring vigilance across all levels of our organisation.
Employees, suppliers, and members of the community are encouraged to raise concerns about potential modern slavery or human trafficking without fear of retaliation. We provide confidential internal channels for reporting any suspicions or breaches. Each report is investigated promptly, and necessary corrective actions are taken. We are committed to protecting whistleblowers and ensuring their concerns are addressed seriously and respectfully.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually by our management team to evaluate its effectiveness and relevance. We remain committed to continuous improvement by enhancing our policies, training, and supplier oversight in light of evolving standards and best practices. Our annual review also involves seeking feedback from staff and suppliers to ensure we address emerging risks and challenges effectively.
As a local florist trusted by the Old Malden community, we understand the importance of upholding the highest ethical standards in all aspects of our business. Our commitment to combating modern slavery is integral to the trust our clients place in us when choosing Old Malden Florist for their floral needs. We are resolute in our determination to protect human rights and foster a safe, fair, and respectful environment for all.
This Statement is made in recognition of our responsibility to the people we serve. It will be reviewed and updated annually to reflect our ongoing dedication to ethical business practices.
