Gardening Coney Hall — Modern Slavery Statement

Gardening Coney Hall publishes this Modern Slavery Statement to affirm our commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking across our operations and supply chains. This statement on modern slavery outlines our approach to identifying, preventing and mitigating the risks of forced labour, exploitative practices and human trafficking in all aspects of our gardening and landscaping services.

We operate a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery. Zero tolerance at Gardening Coney Hall means that any allegation or evidence of slavery, servitude, forced labour or human trafficking will be taken seriously, investigated promptly and addressed with decisive action. Our anti-slavery policy applies to all employees, contractors and suppliers, and it is communicated through training, procurement documents and staff briefings.

To support this modern slavery compliance, we require that all partners and suppliers meet our standards. We conduct supplier audits and risk assessments to evaluate working conditions, recruitment practices and payment terms. These supplier audits include documentary reviews, on-site visits where practicable, and follow-up corrective action plans. We insist suppliers maintain clear records and cooperate with our due diligence processes.

Our human rights approach and slavery statement are integrated into procurement and contracting procedures. We include clauses in contracts that require compliance with anti-slavery laws and our own slavery statement expectations. If a supplier fails to meet these standards, we will seek remediation and, if necessary, terminate the business relationship to protect workers and our corporate values.

Internally, we provide training and awareness for staff to recognise signs of exploitation. Team leaders are trained to spot indicators of forced labour, unfair deductions, excessive working hours and restrictions on movement. We encourage a culture where concerns about modern slavery can be raised without fear. Our whistleblowing and reporting channels are clearly defined, secure and accessible to employees, temporary workers and third parties.

We operate multiple reporting channels to ensure safe and confidential disclosure. These reporting channels include anonymous reporting mechanisms, escalation to senior management and formal incident logging. Reports are handled sensitively and investigated by designated personnel. We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who reports a suspected breach in good faith.

Our supplier engagement goes beyond audits: we invest in capacity-building and collaborate with partners to improve labour standards. Through supplier reviews and collaborative audits, we promote fair recruitment practices, transparent wage systems and safe working environments. This proactive supplier management supports our broader modern slavery prevention objectives and strengthens supply chain integrity.

Key Commitments

• Zero-tolerance policy against modern slavery across our operations.
• Regular supplier audits and risk-based monitoring of supply chains.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

We commit to an annual review of this statement, our policies and our due diligence processes. Each year, senior management will assess the effectiveness of our actions, update risk assessments and publish relevant outcomes. The annual review ensures the slavery statement and our anti-slavery measures remain current, responsive to emerging risks and aligned with best practice.
