Florist Mile End has long been dedicated to serving the Mile End community with integrity and respect. As a trusted local florist for homes and businesses, we understand our responsibility extends beyond beautiful floral arrangements to ensuring ethical and transparent practices throughout our operations and supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our ongoing commitment to combatting modern slavery and human trafficking in our business and supply chains.
We operate a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking of any kind. Florist Mile End refuses to engage with, support, or condone practices that exploit or coerce individuals. Our policy covers all aspects of our business, including relationships with employees, suppliers, and contractors. We expect our suppliers and partners to uphold these same high standards and reserve the right to terminate contracts with any organisation found to be involved in unethical practices.
Maintaining an ethical supply chain is essential to our commitment. We carry out robust due diligence on all prospective and current suppliers. This includes requesting detailed information about their sourcing, employment practices, and policies related to modern slavery. We prioritise working with wholesalers, growers, and other partners who demonstrate a clear commitment to eradicating exploitative practices. Periodic reviews and risk assessments are conducted to further ensure ongoing compliance from our suppliers, particularly those where there may be an elevated risk given geographic or industry factors.
Creating a workplace that is vigilant against modern slavery begins with staff awareness. All Florist Mile End team members receive training on modern slavery, equipping them to spot signs of exploitation and understand the importance of ethical conduct in our daily work. Our training materials are reviewed annually to ensure they are current and relevant. By fostering a culture of responsibility and open dialogue, we empower our staff to uphold our standards at every level of our organisation.
We provide clear and confidential channels for staff, suppliers, and other stakeholders to raise concerns or report suspected cases of modern slavery or unethical conduct. All concerns will be handled with sensitivity and thoroughly investigated. Florist Mile End does not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises concerns in good faith. Our procedures are regularly reviewed to ensure effectiveness and accessibility.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually as part of our wider responsibility to the Mile End community. Each year, we assess our policies, processes, and supply chain to identify risks and introduce improvements. We remain committed to staying informed of best practices and legislative changes, and to playing our part in the global movement to end modern slavery.
Florist Mile End is proud to be part of the Mile End community, serving local households and businesses with care and integrity. Our commitment to preventing modern slavery reflects the trust our customers place in us and underlines our belief that everyone connected to our business should be treated with dignity and respect.
