At Mottingham Florist, we are fully committed to upholding the highest ethical standards throughout our business and supply chains. As a trusted florist serving Mottingham households and businesses, we recognise our responsibility to combat modern slavery and human trafficking. This statement outlines the actions we take to ensure such practices have no place in our operations or among our suppliers.
We maintain a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery, forced labour, and all forms of exploitation. Our management and staff understand the gravity of these issues and are dedicated to ensuring that all aspects of our business reflect this commitment. We expect the same uncompromising stance from every supplier, partner, and contractor we engage with.
Mottingham Florist recognises that vigilance in our supply chain is crucial. We conduct rigorous due diligence when selecting and renewing suppliers, prioritising those who share our values and adhere to all relevant legislation. This process includes reviewing supplier policies on labour standards and verifying their compliance. Clear contractual clauses ensure our suppliers know that any link to modern slavery will result in immediate termination of the business relationship.
Our staff are the foundation of our ethical standards. Every team member receives training on what constitutes modern slavery, the risks within our industry, and how to spot potential warning signs. This training is regularly updated to reflect changes in laws and best practices, empowering staff to act appropriately when they encounter concerns, whether in our shop or when dealing with suppliers.
We provide clear, safe, and confidential channels for reporting suspected cases of modern slavery or unethical conduct. All concerns are taken seriously, investigated thoroughly, and met with appropriate action. Staff, customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders are encouraged to raise issues without fear of victimisation or reprisal. We are committed to protecting whistleblowers and fostering a transparent environment where concerns are addressed promptly.
To ensure that our approach remains robust and effective, we review and update this Modern Slavery Statement each year. This process evaluates the efficiency of our policies and procedures, and incorporates lessons learned, changes in legislation, and emerging risks. It demonstrates our ongoing commitment to continuous improvement and accountability.
Serving the Mottingham community is a privilege and a responsibility we take seriously. By striving for the highest ethical standards, Mottingham Florist aims to uphold the trust of our valued customers and business partners. We are dedicated to creating a supply chain and workplace free from exploitation and to supporting the wellbeing of all individuals connected with our business.
