Modern Slavery Statement for Landscapers Turnhamgreen

At Landscapers Turnhamgreen, we are committed to conducting business in a way that respects human rights and protects the dignity of every individual involved in our operations. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking in our workplace and across our supply chain. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of exploitation, and we expect the same standard from every partner, contractor, and supplier associated with our landscaping services.

Our commitment applies to all parts of the business, including recruitment, procurement, and project delivery. We recognise that the landscaping sector can involve seasonal labour, subcontracting, and a varied supply base, which may increase risk if controls are weak. For that reason, Landscapers Turnhamgreen applies due diligence measures designed to identify, prevent, and address modern slavery risks before they can affect our people or operations.

We communicate our expectations clearly through contracts, supplier onboarding, and internal policies. Any evidence, suspicion, or indication of modern slavery is treated as a serious matter and investigated promptly. Where concerns arise, we act decisively, which may include suspending relationships, requesting corrective action, or ending arrangements where standards are not met.

Our approach begins with risk assessment. We review the types of services and goods we purchase, the locations from which they are sourced, and the labour practices commonly associated with those sectors. This helps us focus our attention on higher-risk areas such as labour provision, waste handling, construction-related materials, and outsourced services. By taking a proactive stance, Landscapers Turnhamgreen strengthens protection against hidden exploitation.

Supplier management is central to our framework. We carry out supplier audits and periodic checks to confirm that our suppliers operate responsibly and comply with applicable labour laws. These audits may include document review, site visits, interviews, and verification of worker treatment, working hours, age controls, and wage practices. We also seek assurances that suppliers maintain their own ethical standards throughout their supply chains.

Where a supplier is unable to demonstrate acceptable controls, we require immediate improvement and monitor progress closely. If a supplier fails to respond appropriately, we reserve the right to disengage. This helps ensure that our landscaping activities are supported only by businesses that share our ethical expectations and respect for human rights.

All employees are encouraged to remain alert to warning signs such as restricted movement, withholding of documents, unsafe accommodation, unpaid wages, or signs of coercion. We believe awareness is essential, so managers are responsible for promoting a workplace culture where concerns can be raised without fear. Training and internal communication reinforce the expectation that everyone has a role in identifying and preventing abuse.

Reporting channels are available so that concerns can be raised quickly and in confidence. Workers may report directly to managers, designated senior leaders, or through internal whistleblowing procedures. Reports are handled sensitively, and no one will suffer retaliation for speaking up in good faith. We take all reports seriously, investigate them promptly, and escalate matters where necessary to protect affected individuals.

When a concern is raised, we aim to respond in a way that prioritises safety, confidentiality, and fairness. This includes assessing immediate risks, preserving relevant information, and working with appropriate professionals or authorities where needed. Our response process supports both effective resolution and accountability across Landscapers Turnhamgreen.

We also recognise that modern slavery prevention is not a one-time exercise. Our controls are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in legislation, business activity, and supply-chain risk. Senior management oversees the effectiveness of our actions and ensures that responsibilities are understood at every level of the business.

Annual review is built into our governance process. Each year, we assess the effectiveness of supplier checks, reporting mechanisms, staff awareness, and corrective actions taken during the previous period. The review considers whether new risks have emerged and whether our procedures remain suitable for the size and nature of our operations. Where improvements are identified, we update policies and strengthen controls accordingly.

This statement confirms our ongoing dedication to ethical practice, lawful conduct, and respect for human rights. Landscapers Turnhamgreen will continue to improve its safeguards, monitor supply chains, and uphold a strict zero-tolerance stance against modern slavery in all its forms. Through vigilance, accountability, and regular review, we aim to ensure our landscaping work is carried out responsibly and with integrity.
