Modern Slavery Statement — Garden Maintenance Chiswick

Garden Maintenance Chiswick affirms a clear and uncompromising commitment to eliminating modern slavery and human trafficking from our operations and supply chain. We operate a zero-tolerance policy to any form of forced labour, servitude, or exploitation across our Chiswick garden maintenance activities. Our statement applies to all employees, contractors and suppliers engaged in garden maintenance in Chiswick and sets out the steps we take to prevent, identify and remedy risks related to modern slavery.

Our approach to responsible Chiswick garden maintenance is built on transparency, robust controls and continuous improvement. All staff and contractors are expected to respect human rights and to comply with this policy. We require that any third parties working with Garden Maintenance Chiswick share our commitment and adhere to contractual obligations prohibiting forced or compulsory labour.

Zero-Tolerance Policy and Leadership

Garden maintenance services Chiswick are delivered under an explicitly enforced, zero-tolerance stance on modern slavery. Senior management endorses this position and is accountable for ensuring it is implemented effectively. Breaches of policy are treated as serious misconduct and will result in swift remedial action, which may include contract termination, reporting to the relevant authorities and supporting victims.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We conduct risk-based due diligence on suppliers to our Chiswick gardening teams and to the wider garden maintenance in Chiswick supply chain. Suppliers are assessed for indicators of vulnerability to modern slavery and for adherence to labour standards. Our vendor selection process includes written declarations, documentary checks and contractual clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery laws.

Supplier Audits and Monitoring

We operate a programme of regular supplier audits and risk-based site visits for key partners. Audit activities include:

• Verification of worker identity and age documentation
• Review of employment contracts, pay records and working hours
• On-site interviews and facility inspections

Audit findings are recorded, and non-conformances prompt corrective action plans and follow-up audits until compliance is demonstrated.

Where higher risk is identified in local or seasonal labour supply chains, we increase monitoring frequency, require additional assurances and, where necessary, suspend or terminate relationships. Our procurement and contract teams receive training to spot red flags and to escalate concerns promptly.

Reporting Channels and Protection

We maintain accessible reporting channels for employees, contractors and third parties to raise concerns about slavery or trafficking in any part of our Chiswick garden maintenance operations. Reports can be made through internal whistleblowing routes and designated reporting lines. We ensure that all reports are treated confidentially and without reprisals. Anyone raising a concern will be protected from retaliation and supported through investigation processes.

Investigations are conducted impartially and promptly. If modern slavery or exploitation is found, we commit to appropriate remediation which may include working with local authorities, NGOs and other stakeholders to provide support and recovery for victims. Remedial actions may include safe re-employment options, financial remediation where appropriate, and termination of offending contracts.

Annual Review, Governance and Continuous Improvement

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least annually and updated to reflect new risks, lessons learned from incidents and changes in our business or supply chains. The board and senior leadership formally approve the statement. We measure progress through audit outcomes, remedial actions completed and training completion rates. Continuous improvement initiatives include enhanced supplier engagement, expanded audit coverage and worker-focused grievance mechanisms.
