New Malden Florist is deeply committed to preserving human rights, dignity, and ethical practices within every aspect of our business. As a trusted New Malden florist serving local households and businesses, we firmly oppose all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, human trafficking, and child exploitation. This statement outlines our stance, procedures, and ongoing commitment for the financial year ending 31st December 2024.
We operate a strict zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery and human trafficking. This approach applies to all areas of our business, including direct operations, supply chain, partnerships, and any contracted services. We expect the same high standards from our suppliers and those we work with. Any evidence or suspicion of modern slavery or trafficking within our operations or supply chain will be dealt with decisively and in line with legal obligations and ethical best practices.
To minimize the risk of modern slavery, New Malden Florist rigorously assesses suppliers and third parties before entering any new contracts. As part of our procurement process, we require suppliers to demonstrate their own commitments to human rights and ethical labor standards. We conduct risk assessments based on the nature of goods supplied, the origin of products, and the working conditions at source. Ongoing supplier reviews are in place to ensure continued compliance, and any supplier found in breach of our standards will face contract termination.
All staff at New Malden Florist are provided with training to help them recognise, prevent, and respond to signs of modern slavery and human trafficking. Our induction process highlights these important issues, and refresher sessions are scheduled annually to ensure employees remain up-to-date with evolving risks and their responsibilities. We empower our team to ask questions, raise concerns, and take action if they identify anything suspicious or potentially harmful within our operations or supply chain.
A safe and confidential reporting procedure is in place for staff, contractors, and suppliers to voice concerns or suspicions relating to modern slavery. We encourage a culture of openness and vigilance, ensuring that all reports are thoroughly investigated and appropriate action is taken without delay. Our management team is responsible for the implementation, monitoring, and future development of our anti-slavery protocols.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually in line with regulatory requirements, ethical standards, and our own commitment to improvement. It reflects both our past actions and future intentions to strengthen our procedures further. The annual review allows us to monitor performance, identify emerging risks, and update our approach as necessary.
As a local florist serving individuals, families, and businesses throughout New Malden, we recognise our important role in the community and the trust placed in us. Upholding robust ethical and legal standards is an essential part of our business, underpinning every arrangement, delivery, and partnership we form. By maintaining these high standards, we demonstrate our responsibility to customers, employees, and the wider community—today and every day into the future.
