Modern Slavery Statement — Gardening Services Brompton

Our Commitment to Ethical Work

Zero-tolerance policy on Modern Slavery

Gardening Services Brompton (also referred to as Brompton gardening services and gardening services in Brompton) is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all its forms across our operations and supply chains. We operate a clear and strict zero-tolerance approach: any proven instance of forced labour, child labour, debt bondage, or exploitation will result in immediate and decisive action.

Scope and responsibilities: This statement applies to all employees, contractors, subcontractors and suppliers engaged by Brompton garden services. Senior management, procurement teams and site supervisors share responsibility for ensuring compliance with this policy. We require all staff to familiarise themselves with our standards and report concerns through the channels described below.

Supplier audits and due diligence

We conduct targeted supplier audits and risk-based due diligence on our supply chain. Supplier audits include documentary checks, site visits and worker interviews where practicable. Key elements include:

• Verification of identity and right to work for employees and subcontractors.
• Review of recruitment practices and any third-party labour providers.
• Assessment of working hours, pay practices and health and safety compliance.

We prioritise higher-risk suppliers for enhanced assessment and will require remediation plans or termination where breaches are confirmed. Our procurement terms require suppliers to comply with anti-slavery standards and to permit audits on request.

Reporting channels — We provide multiple, confidential reporting routes to raise concerns about modern slavery without fear of retaliation. Reports can be made internally through line managers or anonymous whistleblowing mechanisms administered by our compliance team. We emphasise accessibility: employees and third parties may use internal reporting tools, raise concerns in person to trained managers, or use anonymous reporting platforms where available.

Responding to reports — All allegations will be taken seriously, recorded and investigated promptly. Investigations are conducted fairly and discreetly, and we will take protective measures for affected individuals. Where exploitation is identified we will work with appropriate authorities and NGOs to secure assistance for victims, and take firm contractual or legal action against perpetrators.

Training and awareness are central to our prevention efforts. Gardening Services Brompton delivers regular training for staff and managers on recognising signs of exploitation, safe recruitment practices and their obligations under this policy. We also provide guidance materials for suppliers and contractors to improve awareness across our extended workforce.

Annual review — We undertake a formal annual review of our modern slavery measures. This annual review evaluates policy effectiveness, audit outcomes, training uptake and reported incidents, and informs continuous improvement. Results of the review drive updates to procurement processes, audit frequency and training priorities to strengthen our response to modern slavery across Brompton garden services and related operations.

Monitoring and Continuous Improvement

We maintain records of audits, investigations, training and remediation actions, and monitor key performance indicators to measure progress. Our approach balances proactive prevention, robust response, and ongoing collaboration with supply chain partners to reduce risk.

Governance

Senior leaders review compliance performance regularly and the board approves policy updates. Gardening Services Brompton is committed to transparency and continual strengthening of our controls to eradicate modern slavery from our operations and supply chain.

Statement approval — This statement is made in good faith and will be reviewed and updated at least once per year as part of our ongoing commitment to ethical conduct and the protection of human rights in all aspects of our work.
