Modern Slavery Statement — Garden Maintenance Holborn

Garden Maintenance Holborn is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms across our operations and supply chain. We operate a strict zero-tolerance policy toward any form of forced labour, servitude, or human trafficking. This statement sets out how Garden maintenance Holborn manages risk, enforces standards, and ensures ethical practices in the delivery of groundskeeping, planting and pruning services.

Our Commitment and Principles

We believe in transparency, respect for human rights, and continuous improvement. All staff and contractors are required to adhere to our policies which include a clear prohibition of exploitative working conditions, unlawful deductions from wages, or the withholding of identity documents. As part of Holborn garden maintenance responsibilities, our senior management team regularly communicates expectations and enforces compliance across our teams.

Scope and Accountability

This policy covers our direct workforce and extends to our subcontractors and suppliers. We have appointed a designated compliance officer to oversee anti-slavery measures and to ensure that Holborn Garden Maintenance Services is proactive in identifying and mitigating risks. Our approach includes due diligence, contract clauses, and the promotion of fair recruitment practices.

To enforce our zero-tolerance stance we operate an ongoing supplier audit programme. Suppliers and subcontractors are evaluated before onboarding and subject to periodic reviews thereafter. Audits assess:

• Working hours and pay practices to ensure lawful remuneration.
• Recruitment processes and documentation for signs of coercion.
• Health, safety and welfare provisions for on-site staff.

Findings from audits are acted upon promptly: non-compliant suppliers receive corrective action plans and persistent breaches lead to termination of contracts. Our supplier code of conduct explicitly requires partners to uphold labour standards consistent with international human rights norms and local law, reflecting our identity as Garden Maintenance Holborn and our duty to the wider community.

We maintain clear and confidential reporting channels so that any concerns related to modern slavery can be raised safely. Employees and subcontractors may report issues through internal reporting lines, anonymous whistleblowing mechanisms, or via an independent ethics helpline operated by a third party. All reports are investigated impartially and appropriate remedial action is taken.

Training and awareness are central to our prevention strategy. We provide regular training for managers and operatives on recognising signs of exploitation, understanding legal obligations, and following our reporting protocols. Garden-maintenance in Holborn teams are encouraged to act swiftly if they suspect any irregularities.

Our commitment also includes continuous improvement through policy review and stakeholder engagement. We review our modern slavery policies and procedures at least annually and update them to reflect evolving risks, legislative changes, or lessons learned from investigations. This annual review is presented to our board and used to shape measurable objectives for the coming year.

In summary, Garden Maintenance Holborn remains resolute in its efforts to eliminate modern slavery from its operations and supply chain. We promote a culture where workers are treated with dignity and respect, suppliers are held to high ethical standards, and where open channels exist to report and remediate concerns. Through systematic audits, clear reporting channels, mandatory training, and regular review, we reinforce our zero-tolerance approach and continue to strengthen our safeguards for those who work with and for us.
