Gardening Services Camberwell — Modern Slavery Statement

Gardening Services Camberwell is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all parts of our operations and supply chains. We adopt a zero-tolerance approach to any form of forced labour, child labour, servitude or exploitation. This statement outlines our policies, due diligence processes and the practical steps we take as a local provider of garden maintenance Camberwell and related landscaping services.

Our commitment applies to all employees, contractors and third-party suppliers engaged by Camberwell gardening services. We recognise that the risks associated with modern slavery vary by activity and geography, and we pay particular attention to labour-intensive services such as seasonal planting, pruning, landscaping supply chains and contract labour sourced by gardeners Camberwell teams. Prevention, detection and remediation are central to our approach, and we will not tolerate breaches.

Supplier Expectations, Audits and Due Diligence

We require all suppliers to adhere to strict standards. Our procurement for Camberwell garden care includes contractual clauses prohibiting modern slavery and requiring transparency. We undertake a proportionate risk-based due diligence process which includes supplier questionnaires, documentation checks and, where appropriate, onsite audits and follow-up action plans. Key audit and oversight activities include:

• Verification of payroll and payment practices to ensure workers receive lawful wages.
• Assessment of recruitment practices to detect debt bondage or exploitative fees.
• Site visits and supplier audits for high-risk vendors providing landscaping materials or labour.
• Requirement for suppliers to demonstrate worker identification, right-to-work documentation and safe working conditions.

We prioritise suppliers for increased scrutiny based on risk factors such as complexity of supply chain, use of subcontractors and seasonal labour practices associated with gardening services in Camberwell. Where issues are identified we require corrective action plans, timeline-bound remediation and, if necessary, termination of contracts.

Reporting Channels and Speak Up Procedure

We maintain clear and accessible reporting channels for concerns about modern slavery in Camberwell gardening services operations and supply chains. Employees and external parties can raise concerns through internal reporting lines and an anonymous reporting mechanism. All reports are treated confidentially, and we enforce a strict non-retaliation policy. The principles of our speak up procedure are:

• Confidential and anonymous reporting options for workers, contractors and suppliers.
• Timely investigation by trained personnel and documented outcomes.
• Protection measures for whistleblowers and affected workers, including immediate risk mitigation.

We emphasise that reporting is encouraged and supported; no one raising a concern in good faith will be penalised. Our local supervisors and management teams in Camberwell are trained to recognise signs of exploitation and to escalate concerns promptly to the responsible compliance officer for investigation.

Training and awareness form a core part of our prevention strategy. We deliver targeted training for all staff engaged in Camberwell garden care and for procurement teams responsible for managing supplier relationships. Training topics include recognising indicators of modern slavery, understanding contractual obligations, and the steps to take when a concern is raised. We also provide guidance to our regular contractors and sub-contractors about acceptable labour standards and reporting expectations.

Monitoring and continuous improvement are embedded in our approach to ensuring ethical operations across the full breadth of our Camberwell gardening services. We track key performance indicators such as the number of supplier audits completed, identified remediation actions, and training completion rates. Where non-compliance is found, we require remedial measures and follow-up audits to ensure sustained improvement.

We work collaboratively with external advisors and peer organisations to stay informed of evolving risks and best practices for combating modern slavery in garden maintenance Camberwell contexts. This collaboration helps strengthen our supplier assessments and enhances our capability to respond effectively to complex situations.

Annual review and governance are vital. Our Board and senior management review this modern slavery statement and our anti-slavery measures at least once a year. The annual review encompasses audit findings, risk assessments, incident reports and the effectiveness of training and reporting channels. Any necessary policy updates or resource allocations are made following that review.

Accountability rests with senior leadership who ensure that commitments are implemented and that performance is reported internally. We will continue to improve transparency across the supply chain for Camberwell garden maintenance and to act decisively where exploitation is suspected.

Gardening Services Camberwell remains resolute: we will not tolerate modern slavery within our operations or supply networks. Through robust supplier audits, clear reporting channels, ongoing training and an annual review process, we seek to protect workers, uphold human rights and foster responsible, ethical garden care across Camberwell and surrounding communities.
