Flower Delivery Millbank’s Commitment to Preventing Modern Slavery
Our Zero Tolerance Approach to Modern Slavery
At Flower Delivery Millbank, we stand firm in our commitment to upholding the highest ethical standards. As a trusted florist serving Millbank’s families and businesses, we recognise our responsibility to actively prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and throughout our supply chains. We maintain a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, child labour, servitude and human trafficking.
Supplier Due Diligence and Risk Management
To ensure our products are sourced responsibly, we conduct regular and comprehensive due diligence on all current and prospective suppliers. We expect every partner, from flower growers to transporters, to adhere to ethical standards that mirror our own. This due diligence process includes:
- Supplier assessments before engagement, considering reputational risks and documented labour practices
- Requiring confirmation of suppliers’ own anti-slavery standards and compliance with relevant legislation
- Regular review and monitoring of suppliers for any evidence of non-compliance
If any supplier is found to be in violation of our modern slavery policy, immediate action is taken, up to and including termination of the business relationship. Our goal is to work only with partners who share our dedication to fair and humane working conditions.
Staff Training and Internal Awareness
All Flower Delivery Millbank employees receive ongoing training on identifying and responding to the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking. This training helps our team understand their role in prevention, recognise signs of exploitation, and remain vigilant in all workplace activities. We regularly update this training to reflect current legislation and best practice, ensuring staff are well-informed and prepared to act if issues arise.
Clear and Confidential Reporting Channels
We are committed to providing a safe environment where staff and external parties can raise concerns in confidence. Flower Delivery Millbank maintains clear internal reporting channels for employees who suspect any form of modern slavery within our business or supply chains. Reports are treated seriously and managed with confidentiality and sensitivity. The management team is dedicated to investigating all reported concerns thoroughly and taking swift, appropriate action if any contraventions are found.
Commitment to Continuous Improvement
Our modern slavery policy and practices undergo an annual review to ensure effectiveness and compliance with evolving laws and standards. These reviews include input from management, staff, and, where appropriate, feedback from suppliers. We seek continuous improvement, and any findings from the review process are incorporated into our procedures and training accordingly.
Our Responsibility as a Local Florist
As a longstanding Millbank florist, we value the trust placed in us by our community of households and businesses. Our dedication to preventing modern slavery is an integral part of delivering honest, high-quality service. We are openly accountable for upholding these values and ensuring our practices support the wellbeing, respect and dignity of all individuals involved in bringing beautiful floral arrangements to Millbank and beyond.
