Modern Slavery Statement for Landscapers Haringey
Landscapers Haringey is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with full respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the measures we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour, and all forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that landscaping services can involve seasonal work, subcontracted labour, and diverse supply networks, which is why our approach is proactive, documented, and continuously improved.
We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery in every part of our organisation. This applies to all employees, contractors, agency workers, and suppliers engaged by Landscapers Haringey. Any breach of this policy is treated as a serious matter and may result in termination of employment, removal from our approved supplier list, or cessation of commercial relationships. Our commitment is supported by internal controls, staff awareness, and clear expectations for ethical conduct.
To help prevent risks, we require suppliers to confirm that they comply with relevant labour, immigration, and employment laws. Landscapers Haringey assesses supplier risk using a proportionate due diligence process, considering factors such as labour intensity, geographic risk, and the use of subcontractors. Where necessary, we conduct supplier audits and request evidence of worker rights policies, wage records, and identity checks. These reviews help us identify warning signs early and act before harm occurs.
Our reporting framework is designed to make concerns easy to raise and impossible to ignore. Employees and workers are encouraged to report any suspicion of exploitation, unsafe recruitment practices, withheld documents, or coercion through internal reporting channels. Concerns may be raised to managers, designated compliance leads, or through confidential reporting routes. All reports are handled sensitively, investigated promptly, and recorded in line with our internal procedures. We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a genuine concern in good faith.
Training is an important part of our prevention strategy. Teams involved in procurement, site supervision, and subcontractor management receive guidance on recognising indicators of modern slavery, including restricted movement, signs of intimidation, unusual debt arrangements, and dependence on third-party recruiters. By strengthening awareness, Landscapers Haringey helps ensure that our staff can identify and escalate risks before they develop into serious abuse.
We also expect our partners to uphold the same standards. Contract terms with key suppliers include commitments to lawful wages, fair treatment, and transparent recruitment practices. Where a concern is identified, we may require corrective action plans, additional documentation, or further auditing. If a supplier is unable or unwilling to meet our standards, we will take appropriate action. This structured approach supports our responsibility to maintain an ethical and resilient supply chain.
Our statement is reviewed annually to ensure that it remains effective, current, and aligned with best practice. The annual review considers changes in legal requirements, operational risks, supplier performance, and any reports or incidents raised during the year. Findings from the review are used to strengthen our policies, improve controls, and refine training. This regular assessment ensures that our response to modern slavery remains active rather than static.
We believe that effective prevention depends on accountability at every level. Senior management supports this statement and is responsible for overseeing implementation, monitoring outcomes, and promoting a culture of integrity. By embedding ethical standards into procurement, workforce management, and supplier relationships, Landscapers Haringey reinforces its commitment to lawful and humane practices.
In summary, this statement reflects the values that guide Landscapers Haringey: respect, vigilance, and responsibility. We will continue to monitor our business and supply chain, strengthen our controls, and act decisively if risks are identified. Through zero tolerance, supplier audits, reliable reporting channels, and annual review, we remain committed to preventing modern slavery in all its forms.
