Modern Slavery Statement — Garden Maintenance Pimlico

Garden Maintenance Pimlico is committed to the highest standards of ethical conduct and to the prevention of modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our operations. This modern slavery statement sets out our position and the steps we take to ensure that our services, including garden maintenance in Pimlico and adjacent neighbourhoods, are delivered without exploitation. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward forced labour, unlawful withholding of identification, and any form of exploitation in our workforce or through our supply chain.

Our statement applies to all employees, sub-contractors and suppliers engaged in providing Pimlico garden maintenance, garden care and landscaping services. We recognise that risks can arise at any tier of our supply chain — from seasonal workers to contracted suppliers — and we work to identify, assess and mitigate those risks. Garden maintenance Pimlico operations are governed by clear recruitment protocols, fair wages, and respectful employment practices.

We have a zero-tolerance policy that explicitly forbids any form of modern slavery within our business and amongst our partners. All recruitment must be voluntary and free from coercion, and all workers must be free to leave employment after reasonable notice. Our procurement standards require suppliers to confirm their compliance and to allow reasonable inspection and verification of employment practices.

Policies, Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

Garden Maintenance Pimlico operates a structured due diligence process to assess modern slavery risks, particularly among providers of labour, materials and equipment. We conduct risk-based supplier audits and verification checks that include document review, worker interviews and site visits. These measures help us to ensure that our Pimlico garden maintenance partners meet our ethical and legal requirements.

Supplier audits are scheduled regularly and triggered by risk indicators such as subcontracting practices, rapid labour turnover or complaints. Audits may be announced or unannounced and are designed to verify payroll records, right-to-work documentation and working conditions. We require corrective action plans when issues are identified, with escalation protocols where suppliers fail to remediate.

Key elements of our supply chain controls include:

• Risk-based supplier audits and contractual safeguards
• Contract clauses prohibiting forced labour and authorising compliance checks
• Training for staff and supervisors on identifying and reporting indicators of exploitation

Reporting Channels, Support and Remediation

We maintain multiple confidential reporting channels for anyone who suspects modern slavery or exploitation, including direct reporting to line managers, protected internal whistleblowing routes and an anonymous third-party reporting mechanism. Reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and handled with sensitivity to the safety and well‑being of affected individuals. Victim support and appropriate remediation form part of our response when issues are substantiated.

Where investigations reveal non-compliance, Garden Maintenance Pimlico will require remediation, suspend or terminate contracts and, where appropriate, support law enforcement. Our commercial relationships are contingent on adherence to our ethical expectations and our robust supplier audits are a core enforcement tool. For local services such as Pimlico garden care and other landscaping engagements, we will act decisively to remove any parties who contravene our standards.

This statement is reviewed at least annually by senior management and the board to ensure that our policies, risk assessments and supplier audit programme remain effective. We commit to continuous improvement: updating training, strengthening contractual clauses and increasing the scope of due diligence across the supply chain. Garden Maintenance Pimlico will publish and maintain this statement as evidence of our ongoing commitment to preventing modern slavery and promoting safe, fair work practices throughout our services.
