Gardener Gipsy Hill Modern Slavery Statement

Gardener Gipsy Hill commitment banner representing anti-slavery policyThis Modern Slavery Statement sets out Gardener Gipsy Hill's commitment to preventing all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking across our operations and supply chain. We adopt a zero-tolerance policy towards forced labour, bonded labour, human trafficking and child exploitation. This anti-slavery statement applies to all employees, contractors, suppliers and partners engaged with Gardener Gipsy Hill and underlines our expectation that everyone connected to our business acts with integrity.

We recognise that risks of modern slavery vary by sector, geography and supplier type. Our approach to modern slavery focuses on prevention, detection and remediation. We define slavery and human trafficking in line with international standards and require that all suppliers comply with applicable laws and our code of conduct. All staff receive training on recognising signs of exploitation and on our mandatory reporting procedures to ensure early identification and response.

Supply chain audit illustration with checklist and documentsSupplier relationships are central to our risk management. Gardener Gipsy Hill conducts due diligence on suppliers, focusing on high-risk categories such as seasonal labour and subcontracted services. Our supplier audit programme includes:

  • Document reviews of payroll, contracts and working hours;
  • On-site inspections and confidential worker interviews;
  • Corrective action plans, timelines and verification visits where issues are identified.
We integrate contractual clauses that allow us to audit, require remediation and, where necessary, terminate agreements for non-compliance.

Our commitments extend beyond audits. We provide capacity-building and awareness sessions for suppliers and staff, and we require evidence of ethical recruitment practices. We maintain clear, accessible reporting channels so that concerns about forced labour or other abuses can be raised confidentially and without fear of retaliation. Multiple safe routes to report include internal hotlines, line manager escalation and anonymous submission options through secure forms.

The individual, dressed in a multicoloured sweater and blue jeans, is planting or tending to yellow and red tulips with green leaves, using their hands to carefully work with the soil. Nearby, there is a vibrant shrub with reddish foliage adjacent to the flower bed, which is edged with a row of stones or bricks. The garden features a well-maintained lawn, green foliage, and a mix of flowering plants, all situated in a natural outdoor environment under soft daylight, suggesting mild weather. This scene reflects typical gardening activities aimed at enhancing outdoor spaces with seasonal flowers and plants, aligning with professional gardening services such as lawn and garden maintenance in Gipsy Hill, London, with attention to plant care, soil conditioning, and landscape layout.

Reporting and Protection

Anyone who suspects modern slavery, exploitation or suspicious recruitment practices is encouraged to report immediately. Reports are taken seriously and handled by our ethics and compliance team. We ensure that whistleblowers are protected and investigations are conducted promptly, impartially and confidentially. Where exploitation is found, we act to protect victims, coordinate with relevant authorities and support remediation including medical, legal and welfare assistance where appropriate.

Key procedures

Investigation outcomes may include supplier corrective action, worker remediation, referral to enforcement agencies and termination of contracts. We document all complaints and outcomes carefully. Our records are used to refine risk assessments, direct further training and improve supplier selection. We promote a culture where speaking up is supported and expected, and where breaches of our Modern Slavery policy lead to decisive action.

We use performance indicators such as audit completion rates, number of incidents reported, resolution times and supplier training completion percentages to measure progress and to drive continuous improvement.

Gardener Gipsy Hill adopts a zero-tolerance stance: breaches of our standards are unacceptable. Remedial measures prioritise victim safety and restoration. Where suppliers fail to remediate within agreed timeframes, we will escalate sanctions up to contract termination and referral to law enforcement where appropriate. We expect transparency and constructive engagement from our supply chain partners to eliminate labour exploitation.
