At Mile End Florist, we recognise our duty to act ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships. We are committed to implementing effective systems and controls to ensure modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking have no place in our business or our supply chains. Our zero tolerance policy reflects our responsibility as a trusted Mile End florist serving the local community, including households and businesses.
Mile End Florist has a strict zero tolerance approach towards all forms of modern slavery and exploitation. We believe everyone working in our business or supply chain deserves to be treated with dignity, fairness, and respect. All our employees, suppliers, and partners are expected to fully support and uphold our commitment to eradicating forced labour, servitude, and trafficking, and to act in accordance with relevant legislation such as the Modern Slavery Act.
We source our flowers and associated products responsibly. As part of our supplier due diligence process, we expect all existing and new suppliers to share our values and uphold high ethical standards. Where appropriate, we request information on suppliers' working conditions, recruitment practices, and compliance with labour laws. If we suspect non-compliance or unethical practices, we reserve the right to terminate any business relationship immediately. Our supplier relationships are regularly reviewed and evaluated, ensuring they align with our anti-slavery commitments.
Mile End Florist is dedicated to ongoing staff training and raising awareness of modern slavery risks. All team members, including management and frontline staff, receive guidance on recognising the signs of exploitation and understanding our policies. We provide periodic updates and briefings to keep this important topic at the forefront of our operations. By empowering our people, we ensure vigilance and immediate action should concerns arise.
We encourage all staff to report any suspicions of modern slavery or unethical conduct within our business or supply chains. Mile End Florist has robust reporting channels in place, assuring confidentiality and protection for anyone making a disclosure. Managers are trained to handle concerns sensitively and with urgency. Any reported incidents will be thoroughly investigated and appropriate corrective measures will be swiftly undertaken, up to and including the removal of suppliers from our approved list.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure its relevance and effectiveness. We are committed to evaluating our practices, learning from past experiences, and seeking out improvements where necessary. Feedback from staff, suppliers, and the wider community is actively encouraged as part of this process.
Our reputation as a Mile End florist is built on trust, integrity, and community commitment. By taking these proactive steps to prevent modern slavery, we reaffirm our promise to operate responsibly and set a positive example for others. We thank our staff, suppliers, and customers for supporting our ongoing efforts to promote dignity and respect for all.
