Modern Slavery Statement — Garden Maintenance Marylebone

Garden Maintenance Marylebone is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all parts of our operations and supply chain. This statement sets out our approach to risk assessment, prevention, and remediation across our Marylebone garden maintenance activities and related Marylebone gardening services. It applies to all employees, contractors and suppliers engaged in providing garden maintenance in Marylebone and ancillary services.

Zero-Tolerance Policy

Our organisation operates a strict zero-tolerance policy against all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. We require that everyone involved in our Marylebone garden maintenance operations adheres to high ethical standards. Any evidence of exploitation, coercion, or unlawful withholding of pay will trigger immediate contractual review and appropriate action, including termination and reporting to the relevant authorities. We make no exceptions.

Scope and Responsibilities

Responsibility for enforcing this policy sits with senior management and is overseen by our compliance lead. We expect all staff and subcontractors who provide gardening services Marylebone-wide to be vigilant and to follow our due diligence procedures. Suppliers must confirm their compliance with anti-slavery laws as part of procurement and contract renewal processes.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

We carry out proportionate due diligence on suppliers and subcontractors to assess and mitigate risks. Our approach to supplier audits includes:

• Review of supplier policies, employment records and recruitment practices.
• On-site visits and checks where risk indicators are identified.
• Contractual clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery standards.
• Corrective action plans and follow-up audits for suppliers found non-compliant.

These measures apply to all vendors in our supply chain for garden maintenance Marylebone services, including seasonal labour, equipment suppliers and landscaping contractors. We use a risk-based approach to prioritise audits for higher-risk suppliers and improve transparency across our network.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We promote safe and confidential reporting. Staff, subcontractors and third parties are encouraged to report any suspicions of modern slavery, exploitation or unethical behaviour. Reports can be made through our internal reporting channels or to nominated compliance officers. Reports are handled promptly and discreetly and, where necessary, appropriate external authorities will be notified. Our policies protect whistleblowers from retaliation.

To ensure accessibility, we communicate reporting procedures during inductions and through regular briefings for teams involved in Marylebone garden maintenance. Training materials and refresher sessions help ensure that everyone understands signs of exploitation and the steps to take if concerns arise. Proactive communication is central to prevention.

Remediation and Continuous Improvement

Where instances of modern slavery or labour exploitation are identified, we take immediate corrective measures including remediation for affected individuals and corrective action against responsible parties. Our approach balances legal obligations, moral responsibility and practical steps to support victims. We collaborate with external agencies and non-governmental organisations where appropriate to deliver victim-centred outcomes.

Annual Review and Governance

Garden Maintenance Marylebone reviews this Modern Slavery Statement at least annually. The review assesses the effectiveness of due diligence, supplier audits, training, reporting channels and remediation processes. Results of audits and key performance indicators are reported to senior management and used to update policies and contractual terms. Continuous improvement drives our efforts to eliminate slavery and trafficking from our operations and the broader gardening services Marylebone supply chain.

Commitment

We remain committed to leading by example within garden maintenance in Marylebone. Through robust supplier engagement, clear reporting channels, systematic audits and an unwavering zero-tolerance stance, we strive to ensure that modern slavery has no place in our business or in the services we procure.
