Modern Slavery Statement — Garden Maintenance Sidcup

As a provider of Garden Maintenance Sidcup and related garden upkeep services, we publish this statement to set out our commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking across our operations and supply chain. This policy applies to all employees, contractors and partners engaged in garden services in Sidcup and reflects our belief that everyone has the right to work free from exploitation.

Zero-Tolerance Policy

We operate a zero-tolerance policy on all forms of forced labour, bonded labour, human trafficking and any exploitative practices. Our leadership team is unequivocal: any evidence of modern slavery within our operations or suppliers will lead to immediate remedial action, including contract termination. We communicate this policy to all staff and service partners and require acknowledgement from any third party that supports Sidcup garden maintenance activities.

Supply Chain Controls and Supplier Audits

We maintain a risk-based supplier assessment program focused on those providing plant, materials and subcontracted garden labour. Key measures include:

• Pre-engagement checks and documented contracts requiring compliance with anti-slavery standards.
• Periodic supplier audits and on-site checks to verify working conditions and recruitment practices.
• Corrective action plans where issues are identified, and the option to suspend or terminate suppliers that fail to comply.

Due Diligence and Recruitment StandardsOur due diligence process for recruitment and workforce sourcing includes right-to-work verification, transparent payroll records and restrictions on third-party recruitment fees. We require that suppliers engaged in garden maintenance in Sidcup adhere to the same standards: workers must not be charged for jobs, passports and identity documents must not be withheld, and freedom of movement is preserved.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We provide secure reporting channels for employees, subcontractors and third parties to raise concerns. Reports can be made anonymously through established internal mechanisms and are treated with confidentiality and respect. We investigate all allegations promptly and take proportionate action where necessary. Staff are trained to recognise indicators of exploitation and encouraged to use these reporting channels without fear of retaliation.

Monitoring, remediation and transparency are integral to our approach. When audits reveal non-compliance, we work with suppliers to implement tailored remediation plans; persistent or serious breaches will result in contract termination. Our procurement and operations teams maintain records of audit outcomes and corrective steps to ensure continuous improvement in Sidcup garden maintenance standards.

Training and AccountabilityWe deliver regular training to all employees, supervisors and key suppliers to build awareness of modern slavery risks and the practical steps to mitigate them. Senior management takes accountability for compliance and resource allocation for anti-slavery measures. Performance reviews include adherence to our ethical standards and obligations under this statement.

Annual Review and Continuous ImprovementWe commit to an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and our anti-slavery policies. The review examines supplier audit results, incident reports, training uptake and changes in legislation or sector best practice. Outcomes drive updates to procedures, procurement clauses and risk assessments to strengthen protections around Sidcup garden upkeep and related services.

Governance and Public CommitmentOur board and senior leadership endorse this statement and oversee its implementation. We will publish regular updates on progress and maintain transparent records of actions taken in response to identified risks. By embedding these principles into every aspect of our garden services Sidcup operations, we reaffirm our unwavering stance: exploitation has no place in our business or our supply chain.
