Gardening Raynes Park - Modern Slavery Statement

Gardening Raynes Park publishes this Modern Slavery Statement to set out our firm commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking across our operations and supply chain. This gardening business modern slavery statement explains our approach, combining clear governance with practical steps to ensure workers are treated fairly. We recognise that a robust slavery and human trafficking statement is essential to protect people and uphold our values.

We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, servitude, or exploitation. Our zero tolerance approach is embedded into staff training and contractor agreements. All employees and contractors are informed that any breach of this policy is unacceptable and will trigger investigation and disciplinary action. The Raynes Park gardening modern slavery policy applies to every part of our business.

As part of our anti-slavery programme we conduct risk assessments across supplier categories and geographic exposures. The Modern slavery statement for Gardening Raynes Park highlights high-risk activities and outlines mitigation steps. We prioritise areas where vulnerable labour may be used and work to ensure transparency in subcontracting, seasonal hiring and supply of plant, equipment and materials.

Our due diligence process includes supplier audits and contractual protections. We require suppliers to confirm compliance with anti-slavery laws and to permit audits where necessary. Supplier audits are tailored by risk level and may include document review, site visits and worker interviews. The audits form part of our ongoing supplier due diligence and procurement routines to reduce the risk of modern slavery in our chain.

We maintain a register of suppliers and a risk-tier classification to focus audit resources efficiently. Where audits reveal concerns, we implement corrective action plans and monitor remediation. If suppliers fail to remediate, we will take decisive action which may include termination of contracts. This enforcement underlines our strong stance against exploitation in the gardening supply network and supports our commitment to ethical sourcing.

We also provide training for staff and contractors to recognise the signs of exploitation and to understand their responsibilities under this slavery and trafficking statement. Training covers recruitment practices, worker welfare, and how to spot coercive labour arrangements. By empowering our team, Gardening Raynes Park strengthens its front-line defence against modern slavery.

Reporting channels are available for employees, contractors, suppliers and the public to raise concerns confidentially and safely. Our reporting policy includes anonymous reporting options and protection against victimisation. The reporting channels form a core part of our response mechanism to suspected modern slavery and ensure issues can be escalated promptly to senior management.

The governance structure for our modern slavery response assigns clear responsibilities: senior leadership oversees policy, operations implement audits and training, and procurement enforces supplier standards. We publish this gardening Raynes Park anti-slavery statement to provide transparency on governance, reporting channels and remedial measures we use when issues are identified.

We commit to an annual review and continuous improvement of this modern slavery statement. Each year we will evaluate the effectiveness of our actions, update risk assessments, review supplier audit outcomes and refine training. Our annual review ensures Gardening Raynes Park adapts to emerging risks and maintains a proactive, ethical approach to eradicating modern slavery from our operations and supply chain.
