Modern Slavery Statement for Gardeners Lamorbey

Gardeners Lamorbey is committed to conducting every part of its operations with integrity, dignity, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the measures we take to prevent modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and other forms of exploitation within our business and across our supply chain. As a responsible Lamorbey gardening service, we recognise that ethical practice is not optional; it is central to the way we work.

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery. This applies to our employees, subcontractors, suppliers, and any third parties acting on our behalf. Our approach is based on prevention, detection, and decisive action. Where concerns arise, they are investigated promptly and, if necessary, escalated to the appropriate authorities. We expect all partners associated with Gardeners Lamorbey to uphold the same standards.

Our organisation also promotes awareness among staff so they can identify warning signs, including restricted movement, withheld wages, intimidation, or signs of coercion. We believe that informed teams are better able to protect vulnerable people and maintain ethical working conditions. This statement is part of our wider commitment to responsible business conduct and respect for labour rights.

Supplier Standards and Audit Measures

Supplier selection at Gardeners Lamorbey is guided by ethical due diligence. Before engagement, we assess suppliers for compliance with labour laws, safe working practices, and anti-slavery controls. Contracts may include requirements relating to employment transparency, document retention, and permission to inspect relevant records. Where risk is higher, additional checks are undertaken.

We carry out supplier audits to verify that our expectations are being met in practice. These audits may include document reviews, workforce interviews, and checks on subcontracting arrangements. If a supplier fails to meet our standards, we will require corrective action within a defined timeframe. Serious or repeated breaches may result in suspension or termination of the relationship. In this way, our garden care supply chain remains aligned with our values.

We also encourage suppliers to maintain their own ethical sourcing controls and to cascade similar standards to their own vendors. This helps reduce risk across the broader network supporting our services. The aim is not only compliance, but continuous improvement in how labour is protected and respected.

Reporting Channels and Escalation

Any concern related to modern slavery can be raised through our internal reporting channels. Staff are encouraged to report suspicions, unsafe practices, or signs of exploitation without delay. Reports are treated seriously, handled sensitively, and investigated confidentially wherever possible. We prohibit retaliation against anyone who raises a genuine concern in good faith.

Managers are responsible for acting quickly on any allegation, preserving relevant evidence, and ensuring appropriate safeguarding steps are taken. If a case indicates criminal conduct, we will cooperate with external agencies and legal authorities as required. This reporting structure supports a culture of vigilance within Lamorbey gardeners operations and reinforces accountability at every level.

Training and regular communications help ensure that everyone understands how to recognise and report issues. By keeping reporting channels clear and accessible, we create a safer working environment and strengthen our ability to respond to risks early.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This modern slavery statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with current legislation and best practice. The review considers audit findings, supplier performance, internal incidents, training outcomes, and any changes in risk exposure. Updates may lead to stronger controls, revised procedures, or additional supplier checks.

As part of our annual review, Gardeners Lamorbey assesses the effectiveness of its zero-tolerance policy and reporting arrangements. We use the findings to improve due diligence, strengthen procurement decisions, and maintain a consistent ethical standard across our work. Our objective is to support a transparent, responsible service that protects people and respects their rights.

Modern slavery has no place in our business or our supply chain. Through ongoing vigilance, supplier audits, open reporting channels, and annual review, we continue to reinforce our commitment to ethical practice. This statement reflects the values of Gardeners Lamorbey and our determination to act responsibly in every aspect of our operations.
