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.

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.

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.

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.
