Modern Slavery Statement — Gardening Services London Commitment

Gardening Services London is committed to eradicating all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking across our operations and supply chains. We operate a strict zero-tolerance policy toward exploitation, forced labour, and any practice that undermines human dignity. This statement sets out our approach to preventing modern slavery in our gardening services in London and in the activities of our partners and suppliers.

As a responsible London gardening services provider, we recognise the risks inherent in contracting, seasonal labour and subcontracting. Our policies ensure that everyone engaged by our gardening company in London is treated fairly, with lawful wages and safe working conditions. We enforce compliance through contractual obligations, detailed expectations and ongoing oversight.

To implement our zero tolerance approach we have established clear procedures for due diligence, recruitment controls and supplier monitoring. Our procurement teams assess labour standards when selecting suppliers and require robust assurances that slavery and human trafficking are not occurring within supply chains for gardening materials, landscaping equipment or outsourced labour.

We conduct regular supplier audits and on-site inspections for higher-risk partners. These audits include document checks, interviews, and verification of employment records. Where risks are identified we require immediate corrective action plans and work collaboratively to remedy issues. If remediation is not satisfactory, contracts may be suspended or terminated to protect affected workers and uphold our standards for gardening services in the capital.

Our risk-based audit programme focuses on categories most susceptible to exploitation — seasonal crews, subcontractors, and suppliers of bulk materials. We maintain a central register of supplier assessments and audit outcomes to inform procurement decisions, and we integrate findings into our training for field supervisors and managers to strengthen prevention at site level.

We also maintain a clear complaints and reporting channels system so staff, subcontractors and third parties can raise concerns without fear of retaliation. Reports can be made anonymously through our whistleblowing process and are investigated promptly. All reports are handled confidentially, and appropriate protective measures are taken for anyone at risk.

Employee Training and Awareness

Education is central to our prevention strategy. We provide mandatory training to all staff and subcontractors in our network of gardening services in London on recognising signs of exploitation, safe recruitment practices and how to use reporting channels. Supervisors receive enhanced training on conducting supplier audits and verifying worker documentation.

Our policies are supported by contract clauses that require suppliers to comply with anti-slavery laws and permit audit access. We encourage a culture where commercial relationships are not prioritised over human rights. We reserve the right to terminate agreements with any supplier who fails to take appropriate remedial steps when modern slavery risks are identified.

Monitoring, Review and Continuous Improvement

We continuously evaluate the effectiveness of our controls through internal reviews and independent assessments. Annually we perform a comprehensive review of our modern slavery policies and practices, updating risk assessments, audit criteria and training materials. The results of these reviews inform improvements across our London gardening services operations.

In addition to audits and training, we maintain an internal steering group that oversees compliance and coordinates responses to incidents. This group reviews all substantiated cases, tracks remediation plans and ensures lessons learned are embedded into our procedures for landscapers and gardeners across London.

Our annual review cycle ensures that this statement and our approach remain current and effective. We publish updates on our progress and refine processes to respond to emerging risks in the horticulture and landscaping sectors. Through these combined measures — policy, audits, reporting channels and review — our gardening company in London reaffirms its commitment to preventing modern slavery and protecting the rights of all workers.
