Modern Slavery Statement — Gardening Services Pimlico

Gardening Services Pimlico declares a clear and unequivocal stance: we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour in all parts of our operations. As a provider of Pimlico gardening services and local garden maintenance, we recognise our responsibility to prevent exploitation in our supply chain and field teams. This statement sets out how Gardening Services Pimlico identifies, assesses and mitigates modern slavery risks across our gardening in Pimlico operations and associated suppliers.

Our commitment is embedded in our policies and communicated to all employees, contractors and subcontractors. We require that everyone engaged by Pimlico garden services upholds ethical labour standards, treats workers with dignity and works in compliance with applicable laws. This commitment is not just policy: it is enforced through practical measures including training, supplier selection criteria and regular performance checks. We encourage a culture where concerns can be raised without fear and where transparency is valued.

Zero-Tolerance Policy and Principles

The zero-tolerance approach of Gardening Services Pimlico means that any substantiated instance of forced labour, bonded labour, withholding of wages, deception or restriction of movement will result in immediate action. Actions include suspension of contracts, termination of relationships with offending suppliers and referral to relevant authorities where appropriate. We use robust contractual terms and require suppliers to demonstrate evidence of fair recruitment practices, safe working conditions and lawful pay. Our Pimlico gardening services teams are trained to spot signs of exploitation and to take swift remedial action.

We operate a supplier management framework to ensure supplier compliance. New and existing suppliers for gardening in Pimlico are subject to due diligence and risk assessment. That assessment evaluates geographic risk, labour sourcing practices, subcontracting arrangements and previous compliance history. Suppliers must agree to our Supplier Code of Conduct and provide documentation such as payroll records, right-to-work checks and written contracts for on-site workers when requested. We will not tolerate deceptive or abusive practices at any tier.

Supplier Audits and Monitoring

Supplier audits form a central pillar of our anti-slavery approach. Gardening Services Pimlico conducts scheduled and unannounced audits of high-risk suppliers and contractors. Our audit programme includes:

• Document reviews (payroll, contracts, recruitment records)
• On-site worker interviews conducted with confidentiality
• Assessment of accommodation and transport arrangements where provided by suppliers
• Remediation plans for any non-compliance discovered

Audit findings are reported to senior management and used to drive continuous improvement. Where issues are identified, we require corrective action plans with clear deadlines and independent verification. Repeated or severe violations result in contract termination. Our approach to supplier audits ensures that Pimlico garden services maintain integrity, traceability and accountability at every stage.

We maintain accessible reporting channels so workers and third parties can raise concerns safely and confidentially. Reports can be made through internal reporting lines and anonymous channels operated by independent third parties. All reports are taken seriously, investigated promptly and protected against retaliation. Our whistleblowing procedures are backed by strict confidentiality protocols and a commitment to provide support where exploitation is identified. Everyone in our Pimlico gardening teams is made aware of these channels and encouraged to report any suspicious activity.

Training and awareness are compulsory across the business. Regular training sessions for management, supervisors and field operatives of Gardening Services Pimlico focus on recognising indicators of modern slavery, safe recruitment practices and how to respond when concerns arise. We also provide targeted guidance for procurement staff and contract managers who engage with suppliers and subcontractors in the Pimlico area.

We will review and refresh this Modern Slavery Statement on an annual basis to ensure ongoing effectiveness. The annual review evaluates incident trends, audit outcomes, training impact and any legislative changes. Findings are reported to senior leadership and used to update policies, supplier due diligence processes and remediation protocols. Gardening Services Pimlico remains committed to continuous improvement and transparency in tackling modern slavery risks across our operations and supply chain.
