Modern Slavery Statement — Gardening Services Earls Court Commitment

Gardening Services Earls Court is committed to a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking across all our operations and supply chains. We unequivocally oppose forced labour, bonded labour, and any form of exploitation. This statement sets out the steps our Earls Court gardening services business takes to identify, prevent and mitigate the risk of modern slavery and to protect vulnerable workers engaged in garden maintenance Earls Court and related activities.

Zero-Tolerance Policy

Our company policy is clear: we do not tolerate modern slavery in any form. All staff, contractors and suppliers must comply with this policy as a condition of engagement. Any allegation or evidence of exploitation will prompt immediate action, including suspension of suppliers pending investigation and termination of contracts where breaches are proven. The policy applies to all aspects of Earls Court garden care, from groundskeeping to seasonal planting services.

Supplier Standards and Expectations

We require suppliers and sub-contractors to meet explicit standards. Key controls we enforce include:

• Contractual clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery laws and our code of conduct.
• Right-to-work checks and verification of lawful employment status for all personnel provided.
• Transparent pay and working hour records for teams engaged in gardening company in Earls Court projects.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

We conduct a risk-based programme of supplier audits and due diligence for vendors who supply goods and labour to our Earls Court gardening services operations. Audits are prioritised by risk factors such as industry sector, origin of labour and the use of subcontracting. Auditors assess payroll records, worker contracts, accommodation arrangements and grievance mechanisms, and we require corrective action plans where issues are identified.

Monitoring and Continuous Checks

Monitoring includes periodic site visits, remote assessments and reviews of documentation. Our procurement team maintains a register of assessments and follow-ups. Suppliers found non-compliant are subject to escalation, with progressive steps from remediation plans to contract termination. We use this approach to strengthen responsible sourcing for garden maintenance Earls Court and allied services.

Reporting Channels

We maintain clear, confidential reporting channels for employees, contractors and third parties to raise concerns about suspected modern slavery or exploitation. Reports may be raised anonymously and will be treated seriously and investigated promptly. Reports trigger a formal investigation protocol and, where appropriate, referral to law enforcement. Whistleblowers are protected from retaliation under our policies.

Training, Awareness and Worker Support

All staff and management in our Earls Court garden maintenance teams receive training on modern slavery indicators, how to report concerns and how to support vulnerable workers. We provide guidance to subcontractors and insist that they extend training to their employees. Support for affected individuals includes safe accommodation alternatives, access to medical care and liaison with relevant authorities where needed.

Contractual Controls and Remediation

Our supplier contracts contain robust anti-slavery clauses and audit rights. Where audits reveal deficiencies, suppliers must submit time-bound remediation plans. Remedies may include repayment of unlawful deductions, reinstatement of wages, and documented improvements to recruitment practices. Persistent non-compliance leads to suspension and eventual removal from our approved supplier list.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

We commit to an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and our policies, with regular reporting to senior management. Reviews evaluate the effectiveness of supplier audits, reporting channels and training programmes, and set measurable objectives for improvement. Progress is tracked using KPIs such as the number of audits completed, the time to resolve reports, and the incidence of identified non-compliances across our Earls Court gardening services network.

Closing Commitment Gardening Services Earls Court pledges to maintain vigilance and to work collaboratively with suppliers, workers and authorities to eradicate modern slavery from our operations. We will continue to evolve our policies, strengthen supplier oversight and promote responsible employment practices across every aspect of Earls Court garden care.

Accountability and Transparency We will publish updates on our progress annually and ensure our modern slavery programme remains aligned with best practice. Our commitment is long-term, and we recognise that ongoing engagement, well-resourced monitoring and decisive action are essential to protect workers and preserve human dignity throughout our supply chains.

Sign-off This statement is made in accordance with relevant anti-slavery legislation and reflects the collective commitment of Gardening Services Earls Court to uphold human rights and fair labour practices across its gardening services in Earls Court and associated activities.
