Modern Slavery Statement — Gardening Services Parsons Green

Gardening Services Parsons Green is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms across our operations and supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our approach, obligations and the actions we take to ensure that forced labour, bonded labour, and other exploitative practices are not present in our business of garden maintenance, landscaping and horticultural support in Parsons Green and surrounding areas.

We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery. All employees, contractors and suppliers are expected to comply with this policy. Parsons Green garden services staff are trained to recognise indicators of exploitation and to escalate concerns to management promptly. The Company mandates that everyone performing work for or on behalf of our organisation adheres to ethical employment standards and fair treatment principles.

Our responsibility extends to subcontractors and partners delivering gardening services in Parsons Green and beyond. We require transparency in recruitment, pay, working hours and identity verification. Senior management is charged with oversight of anti-slavery measures and with delivering regular briefings to operational teams. The Board reviews compliance and the effectiveness of our controls annually.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We carry out risk-based supplier audits and due diligence to assess and mitigate modern slavery risks. Suppliers and subcontractors are screened before engagement and monitored thereafter. Audits include document checks, site visits and worker interviews where appropriate. Our procurement terms contain a requirement to comply with anti-slavery legislation and to permit audits.

Audit process

• Initial screening: documentation verification and risk assessment;
• On-site checks: physical inspections of working conditions and verification of employment records;
• Remediation: corrective action plans with timelines for non-compliance issues;
• Follow-up reviews: scheduled re-audits until standards are met.

We document audit findings and maintain supplier performance records. Persistent failure to meet our standards results in contract termination. Our approach to supplier management for Parsons Green gardening services balances fair commercial relationships with a firm stance against exploitation.

We provide clear reporting channels for workers, subcontractors and third parties to raise concerns about modern slavery. Confidential reports can be raised internally to our compliance team or via an anonymous whistleblowing mechanism. All reports are investigated promptly and objectively. Retaliation against reporters is strictly prohibited.

Training is provided to staff and contractors to ensure awareness of slavery indicators and proper reporting procedures. Recruitment practices for gardening, grounds maintenance and landscaping staff include identity checks, verification of right to work and checks for any recruitment fees. We specifically prohibit any charging of fees to workers and require suppliers to do the same.

We measure effectiveness through key performance indicators including the number of audits completed, findings remediated, training sessions delivered, and reports investigated. When instances of exploitation are identified we take immediate remedial steps including worker support, supplier sanctions and contractual remedies. Our emphasis is on prevention, swift remediation and continuous improvement for all garden services in Parsons Green and adjacent communities.

Our annual review process ensures that this Modern Slavery Statement is kept up to date. Progress, new risks, and changes in legislation or operational structure are considered each year. Senior management signs off on the review and publishes revisions that reflect lessons learned and enhanced controls for our gardening business.

In summary, Gardening Services — Parsons Green maintains a proactive stance against modern slavery through a zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, clear reporting channels and a rigorous annual review. We are committed to continuous improvement and to working with partners who share our values of dignity, fairness and respect for all workers.

Signed on behalf of Gardening Services Parsons Green — this statement reflects our commitment to combatting modern slavery across our operations and supply chain, and will be reviewed at least annually.
