Gardener Kentish Town Modern Slavery Statement

Gardener Kentish Town commitment banner Gardener Kentish Town publishes this Modern Slavery Statement to set out our commitment to prevent slavery, forced labour and human trafficking across our operations. This statement reflects our position on modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms and reiterates a zero-tolerance policy toward any exploitative practices. We refer to this document also as our modern slavery and human trafficking statement or anti-slavery statement to ensure clarity across different stakeholders.

We operate with a clear and uncompromising zero-tolerance policy. All colleagues, contractors and suppliers are expected to comply with our standards. Any breach of this policy is treated as a serious matter and will lead to corrective action, up to and including contract termination and referral to relevant authorities where appropriate. This policy applies equally to direct employees and to those engaged through the supply chain.

A woman with blonde hair, wearing a plaid shirt and light blue jeans, is kneeling on a well-maintained lawn in a garden, tending to pink tulips planted in a small red flowerpot. The garden features a lush, green grass lawn with dense, dark green shrubs and trees in the background, providing a natural and sheltered outdoor environment. To her right, a small brown dog is sitting attentively on the grass, observing the gardening activity. Nearby, there is a woven basket filled with additional pink tulip plants and gardening tools lying on the ground. The scene is lit by natural daylight, suggesting clear weather, creating a peaceful and inviting outdoor space typical of a residential garden in Kentish Town, with subtle references to local gardening practices and outdoor maintenance services offered by Gardener Kentish Town. Our supplier management process is central to our approach. We deploy a risk-based supplier assessment that includes:

  • Due diligence checks for high-risk suppliers and subcontractors;
  • Contract clauses that require compliance with our modern slavery statement and rights-based labour standards;
  • Periodic supplier audits and on-site inspections where necessary;
  • Remediation plans for identified issues and follow-up monitoring.

Supply Chain Controls and Supplier Audits

Gardener Kentish Town undertakes ongoing supplier audits to verify compliance with our anti-slavery measures. These supplier audits are tailored by risk profile and may include documentary review, interviews and site visits. Where audits identify concerns, we require action plans that set clear timelines and responsibilities. We believe regular supplier audits and verifications are essential to reduce the risk of modern slavery in our procurement and operational activities.

A woman in a pink sunhat and gardening gloves is working in a well-maintained garden, tending to yellow flowering shrubs that are planted along a neatly edged flower bed. The garden features a lush, green lawn area with dense grass, bordered by a mix of shrubs and small trees, some with lighter green foliage and others with darker leaves. In the background, there are mature trees with sunlight filtering through the leaves, creating a dappled light effect, and a blue watering can is placed on the grass nearby. The scene appears to be outdoors during a bright, sunny day with clear weather, and the garden space is landscaped with a paved patio area adjacent to the flower bed, showcasing a tidy outdoor environment suitable for gardening services offered by Gardener Kentish Town. The overall setting demonstrates a healthy and vibrant garden, reflecting careful maintenance and natural beauty typical of professional gardening care in the Kentish Town area. We maintain multiple reporting channels to ensure that suspected instances of modern slavery or labour exploitation can be raised safely and promptly. Reporting channels include secure internal reporting lines, an anonymous whistleblowing mechanism, and escalation to senior management and the Board. Reports are treated confidentially and investigated thoroughly. Victims or potential victims are provided with appropriate support and protection while allegations are reviewed.

To support these systems we provide training and awareness sessions for staff and key suppliers. Training covers how to spot signs of exploitation, the importance of due diligence, and the steps to take if concerns arise. We publish clear expectations and promote a culture where raising concerns is encouraged and protected. Our workforce is trained to recognise indicators in both direct operations and in subcontracted services.

Monitoring, Governance and Annual Review

Gardener Kentish Town has governance arrangements to oversee compliance with this slavery and human trafficking statement. Senior leadership review performance metrics and audit outcomes at least quarterly. Where systemic issues are identified, we adjust policies and controls accordingly. Our Board receives regular updates and retains oversight of major supplier risk areas and remediation efforts.
