This Modern Slavery Statement sets out Gardener Tottenham's commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all parts of our business and supply chain. We publish this anti-slavery statement to make clear that we will not tolerate any form of forced labour, bonded labour, servitude, human trafficking or other modern slavery practices. Our approach aligns with recognised good practice and seeks continuous improvement across procurement, operations and partnerships.

Our Commitment and Policy

Gardener Tottenham operates a strict zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery. We require all colleagues, contractors and suppliers to comply with our Modern Slavery Policy and the principles set out in this slavery and human trafficking statement. We will not accept inadequate labour standards, exploitation or coercion in any element of our services. All employees are trained to recognise the signs of exploitation and to escalate concerns through the channels described below.

A woman with blonde hair, wearing a sleeveless top and dark trousers, is kneeling on a well-maintained garden lawn in Tottenham. She is using gardening tools to tend to a flower bed filled with red and white flowers, possibly carnations or similar blooms. In the background, there are lush green shrubs and a large hedge, which creates a natural boundary for the outdoor space. The garden features a combination of grass and flower borders, with soil areas visible around the plants. The setting appears to be a neatly landscaped front or backyard with a mix of green foliage, blooming flowers, and natural textures. The weather seems mild and bright, enhancing the natural tones of the garden. Such outdoor spaces benefit from professional gardening services like those offered by Gardener Tottenham, who can assist with maintaining lawns, planting flowers, and ensuring tidy, attractive garden environments in the Tottenham area, within postcode N15 or nearby. The company adopts a proactive stance in embedding an anti-slavery culture. Our leadership team has responsibility for oversight of the modern slavery and human trafficking programme and ensures that our policies are effectively implemented. We routinely communicate expectations to partners and emphasise that compliance with our anti-slavery statement is mandatory for all procurement, outsourcing and subcontracting arrangements.

Scope, Risk Assessment and Supplier Expectations

Our modern slavery and human trafficking statement covers all business units, temporary labour, contractors and our global supply chain. We perform regular risk assessments to identify sectors, services and geographic areas with higher vulnerability to forced labour. Where relevant, we require suppliers to demonstrate how they prevent modern slavery through their own policies and controls, and to provide evidence on request.

A young woman with long brown hair, dressed in a checked shirt and white gardening gloves, is tending to a vibrant red rose bush in an outdoor garden setting. She is holding a yellow spray bottle and appears to be carefully pruning or caring for the flowers. The garden features a well-maintained lawn with dense, green grass in the foreground, and a backdrop of leafy shrubs and trees, suggesting a landscaped outdoor space typical of a residential garden in Tottenham. The scene is brightly lit with natural sunlight, indicating a clear, pleasant day. The overall setting reflects a healthy, lush garden environment, suitable for professional gardening maintenance services offered by Gardener Tottenham, supporting local gardening and landscaping needs in the area. We operate a programme of supplier audits and due diligence to verify compliance. This includes:

  • Pre-award assessments of labour practices and contractual clauses that prohibit forced labour;
  • Routine and targeted on-site audits of higher-risk suppliers and subcontractors;
  • Third-party verification where appropriate and corrective action plans for identified non-compliance.

Suppliers are required to maintain worker records, ensure freedom of movement, provide transparent pay practices, and allow independent inspection where needed. Failure to engage with remediation steps can lead to suspension or termination of supply contracts.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Gardener Tottenham provides multiple safe and confidential reporting channels so that workers, partners and third parties can raise concerns. We encourage internal reporting through line managers and HR, and maintain anonymous reporting routes that protect whistleblowers from retaliation. All reports are taken seriously, investigated promptly and actions are documented.

Monitoring, Training and Annual Review: We review our anti-slavery policy, supplier audit programme and reporting mechanisms at least once a year. The annual review evaluates performance metrics, audit findings, training completion rates and corrective actions to ensure continued effectiveness. We update this modern slavery statement and our Modern Slavery Policy to reflect legislative changes, new risks and lessons learned.

Enforcement and continuous improvement are central to our approach. We use the results of audits and reports to refine procurement practices, strengthen contractual protections and enhance supplier engagement. Gardener Tottenham is committed to building resilient, ethical supply chains and to working collaboratively with suppliers, industry partners and stakeholders to eliminate modern slavery from our operations.

This anti-slavery statement is approved by senior management and supported by training, clear accountabilities and a programme of regular supplier assessments. We will continue to measure progress and communicate transparently about our efforts to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking.

Signed on behalf of Gardener Tottenham — this slavery and human trafficking statement represents our ongoing commitment to human rights and to the highest standards of labour practice across our business and supply chains.
