Modern Slavery Statement for Landscaping Services London

Landscaping Services London recognises its responsibility to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking across our operations and supply chain. This statement sets out our approach to ensuring that all people involved in our work are treated with dignity and respect. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, bonded labour, human trafficking or exploitation within our landscape services in London and associated activities.

Our Commitment

We are committed to continuous improvement and to embedding strong ethical standards across the business. As a London landscaping services provider, we require that all employees, contractors and suppliers adhere to our policies. We make it clear that modern slavery has no place in our sector and that breaches will be treated as a serious matter, potentially resulting in termination of contracts and referral to the appropriate authorities.

We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery across every project we deliver. This includes garden maintenance, hard landscaping and commercial grounds management offered by our London landscaping services teams. We communicate expectations through written policies, training sessions and contractual clauses which explicitly prohibit the use of exploitative labour practices, and we require transparent record keeping and lawful employment documentation from all suppliers.

Supply Chain Due Diligence

Our supply chain for landscape services London includes suppliers of plants, materials, equipment and subcontracted labour. We conduct risk-based due diligence to identify and address potential modern slavery risks. This process blends desktop reviews, supplier questionnaires and targeted audits to focus resources where the risk is highest.

Supplier Audits

We implement a structured audit programme for suppliers and subcontractors. Key audit activities include:

• verification of employment contracts and right-to-work documentation;
• interviews with workers carried out in a safe and confidential manner;
• on-site inspections of working and living conditions where applicable;
• review of recruitment practices to detect fee-charging intermediaries or debt bondage.

Where audits or assessments reveal concerns, we require remediation plans, set clear timelines and may suspend or terminate relationships if acceptable improvements are not achieved. Our landscape company London teams work collaboratively with suppliers to build capacity and remediate issues swiftly.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We provide multiple, accessible reporting channels for workers, subcontractors and third parties to raise concerns confidentially. These channels include secure email reporting to our designated compliance lead, an anonymous reporting line and a nominated internal contact trained to handle sensitive disclosures. Reports are investigated promptly and protections are in place to prevent retaliation against whistleblowers.

Our investigative process follows clear steps: initial intake, risk assessment, evidence gathering, engagement with the supplier or worker, and implementation of corrective actions. We keep accurate records of all reports and outcomes and ensure that remedial measures prioritise the welfare of affected individuals, including support and referrals where necessary. We emphasise fairness and transparency throughout investigations.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement — We review this Modern Slavery Statement and our related policies and procedures at least once every 12 months. Our annual review covers the effectiveness of supplier audits, the performance of reporting channels, training uptake, and any incidents or near-misses. Findings inform updates to our risk assessment, procurement practices and training curriculum to strengthen protections across all London landscaping services operations. We will continue to publish and act on the lessons learned and to collaborate with industry peers to improve standards across the sector.
