Modern Slavery Statement for Gardening Services Shepherds Bush

Our Commitment to Ethical Work

Gardening Services Shepherds Bush is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking across our operations and supply chains. We have a zero-tolerance policy towards forced labour, bonded labour, and any practice that exploits workers. This statement sets out how our Shepherds Bush gardening services and garden maintenance teams identify, prevent and respond to the risk of modern slavery in all areas of our business.

We operate with clear values that prioritise fairness and transparency. Our Shepherds Bush garden services teams undergo regular training on recognising signs of exploitation and understanding their responsibilities. All employees and contractors are expected to adhere to our ethical standards and to report concerns promptly through the channels described below.

Scope

This statement applies to everyone working for or on behalf of our gardening services in Shepherds Bush, including temporary staff, subcontractors and suppliers. We commit to aligning our contracts, recruitment practices and on-site supervision with human rights best practice and prevailing laws.

Zero-Tolerance Policy and Due Diligence

We operate a zero-tolerance policy that prohibits modern slavery in any form. Our due diligence processes include risk assessments for suppliers and on-site labour. We screen recruitment agencies and insist on legitimate identity verification, legally compliant pay, and safe working conditions for everyone engaged in our Shepherds Bush gardening services.

Procurement and Contract Measures

We incorporate anti-slavery clauses into supply agreements and require suppliers to confirm compliance with anti-slavery legislation. Our procurement team carries out proportionate checks on new suppliers and periodically re-assesses existing partners to ensure ongoing compliance with our ethical standards.

To strengthen our approach we also provide training for procurement and site supervisors. Training emphasises how to detect exploitation, legitimate and illegitimate recruitment fees, and indicators of restricted movement or withheld wages among workers providing garden maintenance Shepherds Bush and associated services.

Supplier Audits, Reporting Channels and Remediation

Supplier Audits

Our supplier audit programme includes desktop reviews and on-site visits where appropriate. Audits assess working hours, wage records, right-to-work checks and the use of third-party labour. We maintain a risk-based audit schedule and use corrective action plans where standards fall short. Audits are documented and tracked until satisfactory remediation is achieved.

We maintain secure reporting channels that protect confidentiality. Workers, subcontractors and members of the public can raise concerns anonymously or directly through designated internal channels. We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who reports suspected modern slavery in good faith.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

Our Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least annually by senior leadership. The review process evaluates incident reports, audit outcomes, supplier performance and training effectiveness across all Shepherds Bush garden services operations. Findings inform policy updates, additional training and changes to procurement practices.
