Our Commitment to Preventing Modern Slavery

As a trusted florist serving the households and businesses of Mitcham, Flower Delivery Mitcham recognises our responsibility to act ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships. We are steadfast in our commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in our organisation and throughout our supply chains.

Zero Tolerance Policy

Flower Delivery Mitcham adopts a strict zero tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery or human trafficking. We are committed to upholding human rights and ensuring that none of our activities, nor those of our partners or suppliers, contribute in any way to the exploitation of individuals. All staff, management, and suppliers are expected to comply fully with laws and standards designed to protect workers.

Supplier Due Diligence and Ethical Sourcing

We are dedicated to responsible sourcing and maintain strong relationships with trusted suppliers. As part of our due diligence process, we evaluate our suppliers to ensure they share our values regarding human rights, fair treatment, and safe working conditions. Our vetting process includes asking suppliers to confirm adherence to relevant legislation, and we reserve the right to audit or request evidence of compliance at any time. Any supplier found to be in breach of our standards or suspected of involvement in unethical practices will face corrective action or termination of business with Flower Delivery Mitcham.

Staff Training and Awareness

To support our anti-slavery stance, we provide staff with training and resources to understand what modern slavery is and how to spot the signs of exploitation. Our team is informed about the importance of ethical conduct and equipped to raise concerns if they arise. Through ongoing training, we ensure that all individuals working in or with Flower Delivery Mitcham remain vigilant and committed to our zero tolerance approach.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Flower Delivery Mitcham encourages an open culture where people feel able to report concerns without fear of reprisal. Any employee, supplier, customer, or stakeholder who suspects or discovers any instance of modern slavery within our operations or supply chain is encouraged to raise those concerns in confidence to management. We are committed to investigating all reports promptly and thoroughly, taking appropriate corrective action where necessary.

Continuous Review and Improvement

Our approach to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking is reviewed annually to ensure our policies are effective, up-to-date, and reflect changes in legislation or best practice. This includes monitoring our supply chain for new risks and strengthening our procedures where necessary. By reviewing and updating our measures on a regular basis, we ensure that Flower Delivery Mitcham remains vigilant and proactive in upholding ethical standards.

Our Ongoing Responsibility to the Mitcham Community

Flower Delivery Mitcham believes that creating a safe, fair, and transparent business benefits not only our staff and suppliers, but also the wider Mitcham community.
