Modern Slavery Statement for Landscaping Aldgate

Landscaping Aldgate is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. We recognise that modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, debt bondage, and child labour are grave violations of dignity and freedom. This statement sets out the measures taken across our operations and supply chain to prevent, detect, and respond to such risks.

Our Zero-Tolerance Policy

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward all forms of modern slavery. This applies to our employees, contractors, agency workers, and every supplier engaged in support of Landscaping Aldgate services. We do not accept any practice that exploits vulnerability, restricts movement, withholds identity documents, or imposes unsafe and unfair working conditions. Any breach of this policy is treated as a serious matter and may result in termination of relationships or other remedial action.

Risk Awareness and Training

Our teams receive guidance to help them identify warning signs of exploitation, including unusual recruitment fees, inconsistent pay practices, excessive working hours, and signs of intimidation. Managers involved in procurement and operations are encouraged to remain vigilant when engaging labour providers or sourcing materials. By building awareness, Landscaping Aldgate strengthens its ability to prevent abuse before it occurs.

We also expect our labour providers and material suppliers to uphold the same ethical standards. Modern slavery prevention is embedded into our supplier selection and review processes, ensuring that risk is considered from the earliest stage of engagement. Where concerns arise, they are investigated promptly and proportionately.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

Supplier audits are a central part of our approach. We assess suppliers based on geography, sector, labour profile, and the complexity of their own supply chains. High-risk suppliers may be subject to enhanced checks, including document reviews, labour practice assessments, and evidence of lawful recruitment and fair pay. These audits help Landscaping Aldgate confirm that the businesses we work with share our commitment to ethical conduct.

Where a supplier is found to fall short, we seek corrective action within a defined timeframe. If improvements are not made, we will reconsider the relationship. This approach ensures that supplier compliance is not treated as a one-time exercise, but as an ongoing responsibility.

Reporting Channels and Response

We encourage all workers and business partners to report concerns without delay. Reports may be made through line managers, senior leadership, or designated internal reporting routes. Concerns can relate to suspected coercion, unsafe recruitment, withheld wages, or any behaviour that may indicate exploitation. All reports are handled confidentially and investigated with care and seriousness.

We do not permit retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith. Protecting whistleblowers is essential to maintaining a culture of trust and accountability. If a case is substantiated, we will take appropriate action, which may include remediation, escalation, suspension of work, or removal of the supplier from our approved list.

In support of this commitment, Landscaping Aldgate works to ensure that every person involved in our business understands how to escalate a concern. This includes contractors and temporary workers who may be particularly vulnerable to abuse.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement is reviewed annually to confirm that it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with current legal requirements and operational risks. The review considers audit results, reported concerns, supplier performance, and any changes in our business activities or procurement practices. Where necessary, we strengthen controls and update internal procedures to reflect emerging risks.

Landscaping Aldgate understands that preventing modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility. Through zero tolerance, supplier audits, clear reporting channels, and annual review, we aim to ensure that our work supports fair treatment, safe conditions, and respect for human dignity across every part of our business.
