Gardeners Mayfair Modern Slavery Statement

Gardeners Mayfair publishes this Modern Slavery Statement to affirm our commitment to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour and human trafficking in any part of our operations and supply chains. This statement sets out our zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, our supplier expectations and the steps we take to identify, mitigate and remediate risks. We refer to this as our modern slavery policy for Gardeners Mayfair and it applies across all services and locations where we operate.

Scope and Commitment

We operate a clear zero-tolerance policy towards any form of exploitation. All employees, contractors and suppliers must adhere to our standards. Gardeners Mayfair requires compliance with applicable laws on slavery and human trafficking and expects partners to operate to the same principles. This slavery and human trafficking statement outlines our practical measures, governance and escalation routes.

Supplier Expectations

We set out mandatory contractual clauses for suppliers that require transparency about labour practices, worker rights and recruitment processes. Our procurement process seeks assurances that suppliers do not use forced labour and that employment terms are freely agreed. We use different variations of our core commitment in communications, referencing the Modern Slavery Statement, the modern slavery statement and the broader slavery and human trafficking statement to ensure clarity across teams and partners.

We operate a structured supplier audit programme focused on high-risk categories. Audits include documentation review, on-site inspections and interviews with management and workers where permitted. Key audit elements include:

• Verification of right to work documentation and recruitment practices
• Review of wage payments, working hours and overtime policies
• Assessment of subcontracting and labour supply chains

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

We prioritise suppliers based on geographic, sector and service risk indicators and require corrective action plans for any issues identified. Follow-up audits and continuous monitoring form part of our due diligence. Where suppliers fail to rectify serious breaches, Gardeners Mayfair will suspend or terminate contracts to protect workers and our standards.

Our approach blends proactive and reactive measures: pre-qualification questionnaires, contractual obligations, periodic audits and spot checks. We maintain records of supplier assessments and audit outcomes to support transparency and continuous improvement in our supply chain management.

Reporting Channels

We provide multiple, secure reporting channels to encourage the confidential reporting of concerns. Workers, suppliers and third parties can raise issues through anonymous reporting mechanisms or via internal escalation routes. All reports are taken seriously, investigated promptly and treated with confidentiality. We protect whistleblowers from retaliation and offer support where needed.

Reports are triaged by a dedicated compliance team and, where appropriate, escalated to senior management for action. Investigations may involve interviews, document reviews and collaboration with external advisors. Outcomes may include remediation for affected individuals, supplier sanctions, and policy or process changes. We document actions taken and monitor effectiveness to prevent recurrence.

Training and ResponsibilityAll staff with procurement or supplier management responsibilities receive regular training to recognise signs of modern slavery, understand reporting procedures and manage supplier relationships in line with this Modern Slavery Statement. Senior leaders are accountable for implementation and resources are allocated to sustain our anti-slavery measures. Mayfair gardeners modern slavery statement is embedded in our governance, with clear roles and responsibilities documented.

We are committed to continual improvement. Our policies are reviewed and updated to reflect changing risks, legislative developments and emerging best practice. Where remedial action is required, we collaborate with suppliers and, where necessary, support third-party remediation partners to ensure appropriate outcomes for workers.

Annually, Gardeners Mayfair conducts a formal review of this statement and our practices. The annual review assesses audit findings, incident data, training outcomes and supplier performance to measure effectiveness. The annual review process includes stakeholder engagement across operations and procurement to refine controls and set priorities for the coming year.

In conclusion, this Gardeners Mayfair modern slavery statement reflects our unwavering commitment to combat modern slavery. We will maintain a zero-tolerance approach, continue to strengthen supplier audits, ensure robust reporting channels and conduct an annual review to ensure our policies remain effective and proportionate to risk.
