Modern Slavery Statement — Gardening Services Woolwich

Our commitment and zero-tolerance stance

Gardening Services Woolwich operates with an unwavering commitment to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour across all operations. We maintain a clear zero-tolerance policy toward any form of exploitation. This statement explains our approach, expectations of suppliers and contractors, and the measures we take to ensure that our local gardening services in Woolwich are free from slavery and related practices.

We require all staff and partners to understand that any breach of our zero-tolerance policy will lead to decisive action, including contract termination and referral to authorities where appropriate. Our policy applies to direct employees, subcontractors, temporary workers and third-party suppliers engaged by Woolwich gardening services teams.

Supplier due diligence and audits

We carry out robust supplier due diligence and regular supplier audits to assess the risk of modern slavery within our supply chain. Our procurement and supplier management processes are designed to identify, prevent and mitigate potential risks proactively. Suppliers must demonstrate compliance with labour standards and provide transparent information on recruitment and working conditions.

Our supplier audit programme includes:

• Document checks — verification of payroll, working hours and right-to-work documentation;
• On-site inspections — physical visits to workplaces where practical to validate conditions;
• Contractual clauses — mandatory anti-slavery provisions embedded in supplier agreements;
• Corrective action plans — timebound remediation where non-compliance is identified.

We consider risks associated with seasonal labour and subcontracted maintenance teams, and we prioritise audits accordingly across gardening-services Woolwich partners.

Reporting channels and whistleblowing

Gardening Services - Woolwich provides multiple reporting channels to enable the secure and confidential raising of concerns. We encourage employees, suppliers and the public to report suspected instances of modern slavery without fear of retaliation. Reports can be made through internal reporting routes and anonymous whistleblowing mechanisms maintained by our governance team.

All reports are taken seriously and investigated promptly. We ensure protection for whistleblowers and maintain strict confidentiality throughout investigations. Our reporting process includes the assessment of risk, immediate steps to secure any affected individuals, and escalation to relevant authorities where statutory obligations apply.

How we respond: preliminary assessment, protective measures, formal investigation and corrective action, including supplier suspension if necessary.

Training, governance and continuous improvement

We deliver targeted training for staff involved in procurement, site management and human resources to raise awareness of modern slavery indicators and correct response protocols. Senior management and the board sponsor our anti-slavery programme to ensure accountability and effective resourcing.

Performance metrics are monitored regularly: number of supplier audits completed, incidents reported, remedial actions implemented and staff trained. We integrate these metrics into broader governance reviews to drive continuous improvement across our Woolwich gardening services operations.

Annual review and public transparency — Our modern slavery programme is subject to an annual review to evaluate effectiveness, update risk assessments and refine mitigation actions. This ensures our policies remain aligned with evolving risks and legal expectations.

In conclusion, Gardening Services Woolwich, gardening services in Woolwich and Woolwich gardening services are committed to preventing modern slavery in all forms. We expect suppliers, partners and subcontractors to share this commitment and to cooperate fully with audits and investigations. This statement is endorsed by senior leadership and will be reviewed and updated annually to reflect progress and emerging risks.
