At Flowers Malden Rushett, we take our ethical responsibilities seriously, both as a trusted Malden Rushett florist and as an upstanding member of the local business community. We recognise the vital importance of combating all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We maintain a strict zero tolerance policy against any practices associated with modern slavery, including but not limited to forced labour, servitude, child labour, and trafficking. This forms a core part of our promise to create a safe, fair, and respectful environment for everyone we work with—from our dedicated team to our valued customers and suppliers.
We understand that our responsibility extends beyond our direct team to the suppliers and partners we engage with. As such, Flowers Malden Rushett conducts thorough due diligence prior to entering any new supplier relationships. This involves asking suppliers to confirm their own compliance with the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 and our ethical standards. We reserve the right to terminate a supplier relationship should any evidence of unethical practices arise. We continually assess our supply chain risks and review the sourcing of all products and services to ensure that they meet our ethical and legal expectations.
Empowering our staff with the right knowledge is crucial in the prevention and detection of modern slavery. All members of our team receive training to help them spot the signs of slavery and exploitation, both within our business and in our supply chains. This training includes understanding relevant laws, recognising potential warning signs, and knowing the appropriate steps to take if concerns are raised. By fostering a culture of openness and vigilance, we ensure that every team member is confident in identifying and addressing potential risks.
We are committed to providing clear, confidential channels for all staff, suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders to raise any concerns about potential or suspected incidents of modern slavery. In line with our whistleblowing policy, we guarantee that any report will be taken seriously and investigated thoroughly, without fear of reprisal. Confidentiality is respected at all stages, and appropriate actions will be taken in accordance with our internal policies.
Flowers Malden Rushett is dedicated to continual improvement in our approach to eradicating modern slavery. Our Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure it reflects current laws, best practices, and the evolving operational landscape. As part of this commitment, we evaluate the effectiveness of our processes and policies through regular risk assessments, staff feedback, and updates to supplier controls. We will revise our actions as needed to strengthen our stance against modern slavery, placing the values of respect, transparency, and integrity at the centre of our business.
As a florist serving both households and businesses in Malden Rushett and surrounding areas, we recognise that our role goes beyond providing high-quality floral arrangements. We are dedicated to upholding the trust our community places in us by maintaining the highest ethical standards and striving to make a positive impact in every aspect of our business. We encourage everyone connected with Flowers Malden Rushett to join us in supporting human rights and ensuring our community remains free from exploitation and harm.
