Gardener Tottenham - Modern Slavery Statement

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.

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.

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.

We assess allegations impartially, protect victims and ensure that remediation measures prioritise the safety and wellbeing of affected individuals. Our investigations seek to identify root causes and to implement systemic changes to prevent recurrence. Where criminal conduct is suspected, we will cooperate with law enforcement as appropriate.

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.
