Modern Slavery Statement – Gardener Pimlico

Gardener Pimlico publishes this Modern Slavery Statement as a clear declaration of our firm commitment to eradicating forced labour, human trafficking and any form of exploitation from our operations and supply chain. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery and human trafficking and expect all partners to uphold the same standards. This modern slavery and human trafficking statement explains our approach to risk identification, prevention and remediation.

Zero-Tolerance Policy and Corporate Commitment

Our policy is uncompromising: no forced labour, child labour or exploitative practices are permitted in any part of our business. All employees, contractors and suppliers are required to comply with this anti-slavery statement as part of their contractual obligations. We train staff to recognise indicators of exploitation and to apply the company’s safeguarding principles. Our board has ultimate responsibility for this modern slavery statement and receives regular reports on implementation.

A young woman with blonde hair, dressed casually in a red plaid shirt and denim shorts, is kneeling on a well-maintained grassy lawn in a garden setting. She is wearing yellow gardening gloves and is actively planting new flowering plants in a small flower bed bordered by dark soil. In front of her, there is a wooden gardening box containing additional plants, and a small green plant label is visible, indicating care or identification of the plants. The background features neatly trimmed hedges, a lush green lawn, and a few mature trees, suggesting a suburban garden in the UK, possibly in Pimlico or a similar area. The scene is bathed in natural sunlight, with some areas shaded by trees, creating a bright and inviting outdoor environment suitable for gardening services offered by Gardener Pimlico. The overall atmosphere showcases a tidy, landscaped garden with a mixture of grass, flower beds, and natural foliage, emphasizing professional outdoor landscape maintenance and gardening activities typical of the region's residential outdoor spaces.We set explicit expectations for suppliers and subcontractors in our procurement terms, embedding anti-slavery clauses and right-to-audit provisions. Key supplier requirements include:

  • Compliance with relevant labour laws and international standards.
  • Transparency in recruitment and wage practices.
  • Freedom of movement for workers and no retention of identity documents.

Due Diligence, Risk Assessment and Supplier Audits

We operate a risk-based supplier due diligence programme tied to the slavery and human trafficking statement. High-risk suppliers are prioritised for verification and audit. Our approach combines desktop reviews, on-site checks, and third-party audits to validate working conditions and contractual compliance. Findings inform corrective action plans and continued eligibility to supply goods or services to Gardener Pimlico.

A woman with blonde hair tied back, wearing a plaid shirt, is tending to a garden in an outdoor space. In front of her are bright yellow and pink tulips, surrounded by green foliage. The garden features a well-maintained lawn with dense grass, bordered by a variety of shrubs and trees, including a prominent large tree with a textured trunk in the background. The scene is set on a clear, partly sunny day with natural light illuminating the garden, which appears to be part of a landscaped yard in Pimlico or a nearby London area. The garden includes paved pathways and plant beds, indicative of professional gardening and landscaping attention, aligning with the services offered by Gardener Pimlico. The overall environment is lush, orderly, and inviting, emphasizing the care and maintenance of outdoor living spaces typical of local outdoor gardening services.

Audit Process and Remediation

The supplier audit process includes worker interviews, payroll sampling and inspection of recruitment practices. When non-compliance is identified we require prompt remediation. We may suspend new orders, withhold payments or terminate contracts in serious cases. Where necessary, we support remediation measures for affected workers, including repayment of unlawful deductions or assistance to regain documents. These steps form part of our broader anti-slavery programme and Modern Slavery statement follow-up.

We also incorporate continuous monitoring through periodic reviews and performance metrics. Suppliers must submit self-assessments and permit independent verification. Training and capacity building are offered to help suppliers meet our standards and embed ethical labour practices across their operations.

Our reporting channels are designed to be accessible and protective. Employees, contractors, suppliers and members of the public can raise concerns through anonymous reporting mechanisms or through line managers. We maintain a clear non-retaliation policy and investigate all allegations promptly and confidentially. Reports are tracked, investigated and recorded to improve systems and provide evidence for corrective action where required.

In the outdoor garden area, a person is kneeling on a well-maintained grassy lawn, wearing a blue shirt, beige trousers, and brown gardening boots, engaged in garden maintenance. The surrounding garden features a variety of flowering plants and shrubs, including tall yellow daisies with prominent dark centers, and patches of purple flowering plants in the background. The soil in the flower bed appears freshly turned and free of weeds. To the right, partially visible, is a white spray bottle, suggesting ongoing garden care activities. The scene is lit by natural daylight, indicating a clear weather day, and the garden setup shows a tidy, landscaped outdoor space with a mix of plant types, border hedges, and a neat lawn, reflecting professional gardening work by Gardener Pimlico in the Pimlico area, London. This image depicts standard maintenance tasks typical of a local gardening service focused on maintaining healthy lawns, flower beds, and garden aesthetics.Accountability, Training and GovernanceWe deliver regular training on modern slavery risks to procurement, HR and operational teams. Responsibility for the anti-slavery framework sits with senior management, who report to the board. Policies and contractual terms are reviewed to ensure they remain effective and aligned with evolving legal expectations and industry best practice.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

Gardener Pimlico will review this statement and our anti-slavery measures at least annually. The review assesses the effectiveness of due diligence, supplier audits, reporting channels and remediation outcomes. Improvements identified through audits, stakeholder engagement and internal monitoring will be incorporated into the next revision of the Modern Slavery statement. We are committed to transparency and to strengthening our anti‑slavery systems over time.

In conclusion, Gardener Pimlico’s anti‑slavery statement sets out a firm, operational approach: a zero-tolerance policy; robust supplier audits; safe and confidential reporting channels; and a formal annual review cycle. We will continue to advance practical steps to prevent, detect and respond to modern slavery across our operations and supply chain, ensuring that our values are reflected in every contractual relationship and every workplace associated with our activities.
