Modern Slavery Statement for Landscaping Brixton

Landscaping Brixton is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with full respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps taken by our landscaping business to identify, prevent, and address any risk of modern slavery or human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can occur in many forms, including forced labour, debt bondage, servitude, and exploitative child labour.

Our approach applies across all areas of the business, from procurement and site operations to subcontracted services and material sourcing. We expect every person and organisation connected with Landscaping Brixton to share our values and act with integrity. This statement reflects our commitment to transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement in responsible business practice.

Our Zero-Tolerance Policy

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery in any form. This means we will not knowingly engage with suppliers, contractors, or partners who use forced labour, exploit vulnerable workers, or fail to uphold basic labour rights. Any evidence of abuse, coercion, withheld wages, document retention, or unsafe working conditions is treated as a serious breach of our standards.

All staff involved in hiring, purchasing, and site management are expected to follow our ethical sourcing requirements. We require fair recruitment practices, lawful employment arrangements, and clear terms of work. Where concerns arise, we investigate promptly and take appropriate action, which may include suspension or termination of a commercial relationship.

Supply Chain Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

As part of our responsible sourcing approach, Landscaping Brixton conducts supplier due diligence before entering into new arrangements and throughout the life of the relationship. We assess the nature of the work, the countries involved, and any areas where labour exploitation may present higher risk. Our checks include reviewing policies, employment practices, subcontracting arrangements, and evidence of compliance with labour laws.

We also carry out supplier audits on a risk-based basis. These audits may involve document reviews, site visits, and discussions with supplier representatives to confirm that workers are treated fairly and are not subjected to intimidation or unlawful deductions. If a supplier cannot meet our expectations, we work with them to implement corrective actions. If meaningful improvement is not achieved, we will end the relationship.

Reporting Channels and Raising Concerns

We encourage anyone connected with our operations to raise concerns about possible modern slavery, unsafe labour practices, or unethical conduct. Reports may be made internally through line management or senior leadership, and concerns can also be raised confidentially through our established reporting channels. All concerns are handled seriously, and we aim to protect individuals who speak up in good faith from retaliation.

We recognise that workers in supply chains may be especially vulnerable, so we seek to create an environment where concerns can be reported without fear. Information about how to raise issues is shared with relevant teams and, where appropriate, with suppliers and subcontractors. Each report is reviewed promptly, and any necessary investigation is conducted with sensitivity and discretion.

Training, Monitoring, and Responsibility

Responsibility for implementing this statement sits with management, supported by operational teams responsible for procurement and delivery. We provide relevant awareness training so staff can identify warning signs of exploitation and respond appropriately. This helps ensure that our commitments are embedded in everyday decisions across the Landscaping Brixton service model.

We monitor our controls regularly to ensure they remain effective. This includes reviewing supplier performance, updating risk assessments, and confirming that corrective actions have been completed where issues have been identified. Our goal is to strengthen prevention rather than respond only after harm has occurred.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement This statement is reviewed annually to confirm that it remains current, effective, and aligned with legal requirements and operational risks. During the review, we assess changes in our supply chain, feedback from audits, any reported concerns, and progress against improvement actions. Where necessary, we update our procedures and expectations.

Landscaping Brixton is committed to ongoing vigilance and ethical leadership. We understand that combating modern slavery requires sustained effort, collaboration, and honest evaluation of our practices. Through our zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, reporting channels, and annual review process, we aim to help ensure that our business remains a responsible and trusted contributor to the landscaping sector.
