Modern Slavery Statement — Garden Maintenance Earls Court

Garden Maintenance Earls Court is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms across our operations and supply chain. This statement sets out our approach, expectations and the measures we have put in place to ensure that the highest standards of ethical conduct are maintained. We provide landscape and garden care across Earls Court and this declaration applies to all colleagues, contractors and partners involved in any Earls Court garden maintenance activities.

We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, bonded labour, human trafficking or exploitation. Our team is trained to identify risk indicators and to act decisively. All employees and contractors are required to comply with our standards and to report concerns without fear of retaliation. We reinforce this commitment through procurement policies and employment checks, and we include modern slavery obligations in our contracts for garden-maintenance services in the local area.

To ensure consistent standards we perform due diligence on suppliers and partners involved in Earls Court garden care. Our supplier expectations include:

• Compliance with labour laws and the right of workers to work freely.
• Transparent recruitment practices and prohibition of recruitment fees.
• Safe working conditions and respect for worker rights.

These measures help us reduce risk in the supply chain and align garden maintenance Earls Court activities with best practice.

Supplier Audits and Risk Assessment

We carry out regular supplier audits and risk assessments for contractors and suppliers who deliver gardening and grounds maintenance in Earls Court. Audits combine documentary checks, site visits and worker interviews where appropriate. Audit findings are recorded, and corrective action plans are implemented with timelines. High-risk suppliers are subject to more frequent reviews and contractual conditions requiring compliance with our modern slavery policy.

Our procurement team evaluates new suppliers against a risk framework specific to garden-care services. This framework considers geography, labour intensity, subcontracting practices and the nature of services provided. We use a mix of desktop checks and on-site verification so that our Earls Court garden maintenance supply chain remains transparent and accountable. Suppliers who fail to meet minimum standards are required to remediate issues or face contract termination.

We use corrective action plans and follow-up audits to ensure issues are resolved. Where evidence of exploitation is identified, we will take immediate action including suspension of work, mandatory remediation, and reporting to relevant authorities. Our approach balances enforcement with support to help legitimate suppliers improve governance and worker protections.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We provide clear and confidential reporting channels for employees, contractors and members of the public to raise concerns about modern slavery in the Earls Court garden maintenance environment. Reports can be made internally through designated managers and anonymously via established whistleblowing procedures. Reports are treated seriously and investigated promptly, with protections in place for whistleblowers.

We also collaborate with industry partners and local stakeholders to share intelligence and best practice for preventing exploitation in Earls Court garden maintenance projects. Our staff receive training on how to recognise signs of forced labour and on the practical steps to escalate concerns.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement Our policy and its effectiveness are reviewed at least once a year. The annual review examines supplier audit results, training uptake, reported incidents, and remediation outcomes. Findings inform policy updates, training refreshers and enhancements to our due diligence processes. As part of continuous improvement, Garden Maintenance Earls Court commits to strengthening contractual clauses, expanding audit coverage and raising awareness of worker rights across the supply chain.

Enforcement of this statement is through governance at senior management level and with clear responsibilities assigned for compliance. We maintain a record of actions taken and progress against remediation plans. Garden-maintenance Earls Court will not tolerate non-compliance and will act decisively to protect workers and preserve ethical standards across all operations.

By publishing this Modern Slavery Statement we reaffirm our dedication to protecting human rights and eliminating exploitation from every aspect of our Earls Court garden services. We will continue to monitor developments, engage with stakeholders and increase transparency across our supply chains.

Signed on behalf of the management team: we commit to maintaining vigilance, delivering supplier audits, providing trusted reporting channels and undertaking an annual review to ensure our zero-tolerance approach remains effective.
