Flowers Mitcham is dedicated to upholding the highest standards of ethical conduct and social responsibility. As a trusted local florist serving both households and businesses in Mitcham, we recognise our duty to protect the rights and wellbeing of all people connected to our operations, including those involved in our supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps we take to prevent slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, and human trafficking within every aspect of our business.
We have a zero tolerance approach to modern slavery in all its forms. Our commitment extends to every area of our operations, from sourcing flowers and materials to delivering floral arrangements to our customers. Flowers Mitcham does not tolerate any practice that exploits individuals or infringes on their freedoms, and we expect the same ethical standards from our suppliers, business partners, and subcontractors.
Ensuring ethical practices within our supply chain is at the heart of this policy. Before establishing relationships with new suppliers, we carry out thorough due diligence to assess their values, practices, and compliance with anti-slavery legislation. This includes obtaining statements of compliance, reviewing documented policies, and periodically revisiting supplier performance and practices. If a supplier fails to demonstrate their commitment to combating modern slavery, Flowers Mitcham will take immediate and decisive action, which may include terminating the business relationship.
Our staff are fundamental to ensuring the effectiveness of our efforts. All employees receive regular training on the risks of modern slavery, recognising the signs of exploitation, and understanding their roles in prevention and reporting. This ongoing education empowers our team to act confidently and appropriately should they encounter any suspicious behaviour or unethical practices, either internally or among our suppliers.
We actively encourage transparency and the prompt reporting of any concerns related to modern slavery. All staff members, suppliers, and stakeholders are made aware of our internal reporting channels, which enable them to voice suspicions confidentially and without fear of reprisal. Any reported concerns are investigated promptly and with the utmost seriousness in line with our policies. Where necessary, matters are escalated to relevant authorities to support full investigation and resolution.
This Modern Slavery Statement and our associated practices are reviewed annually to ensure they remain effective, compliant with relevant legislation, and reflective of best practice. We analyse developments within our sector and supply chain, adjusting our policies as necessary to stay vigilant against emerging risks and to strengthen our preventative measures.
Flowers Mitcham takes our social responsibility seriously, knowing that our practices directly impact the lives and wellbeing of people in our community and beyond. By maintaining these high standards, we reaffirm our dedication to being a florist that local households and businesses can trust—not only for beautiful arrangements, but also for ethical conduct and integrity throughout our operations.
