Modern Slavery Statement for Landscapers Redbridge

Landscapers Redbridge is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by our organisation to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can affect many industries, including landscaping, where workers may be exposed to seasonal demand, subcontracting, and complex supplier networks. For that reason, we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of exploitation.

As a responsible Redbridge landscaping company, we expect the highest standards from our employees, contractors, and suppliers. Our commitment is embedded in recruitment, procurement, and site management practices. We aim to ensure that all individuals involved in delivering services are treated with dignity, paid lawfully, and employed voluntarily. This statement applies to all activities carried out under the name of Landscapers Redbridge, whether direct or indirect.

Our approach is based on clear accountability. Senior management reviews our anti-slavery measures and ensures that policies are implemented consistently across the business. We provide internal guidance so that supervisors understand how to identify warning signs such as restricted movement, withheld wages, document retention, or unusual control over workers. These measures help strengthen the ethical standards of Redbridge landscapers and reduce the risk of abuse in our supply chain.

Our Policy and Supply Chain Controls

Our zero-tolerance policy means that any evidence or suspicion of modern slavery is treated as a serious breach of standards. We will act promptly where risks are identified, including investigating concerns, suspending relationships where necessary, and taking corrective action. This applies to all staff, subcontractors, and external partners associated with our landscaping services.

To support this position, Landscapers Redbridge conducts due diligence on new and existing suppliers. Supplier checks include reviewing trading history, ownership details, labour practices, and known compliance issues. We also carry out supplier audits on a risk-based basis, especially where labour-intensive tasks, temporary workers, or imported materials are involved. Audits may include document reviews, site visits, and checks on wages, working hours, and worker welfare.

When working with suppliers, we require them to uphold the same ethical principles that guide our own operations. Contracts and purchase arrangements include expectations around lawful employment, freedom of movement, and safe working conditions. If a supplier cannot demonstrate appropriate standards, we may limit engagement or end the relationship. This helps us maintain responsible practices across the wider Redbridge landscaping network.

Reporting Channels and Training

We encourage all employees and contractors to speak up if they have concerns about exploitation, unsafe labour practices, or any activity that may indicate modern slavery. Reports can be made through internal management channels, and every concern is handled seriously and confidentially. Retaliation against anyone raising a concern in good faith is not tolerated.

To support effective reporting, we provide awareness training so staff understand the indicators of forced labour and the correct steps for escalation. This includes guidance on recognising deception, debt bondage, isolation, intimidation, and other forms of coercion. By improving awareness, Landscapers Redbridge increases the chance that issues are identified early and addressed appropriately.

We also expect managers to create an environment where workers feel safe to raise concerns. Open communication is essential to our anti-slavery approach, as it enables concerns to be reviewed before harm escalates. In this way, our Redbridge landscapers continue to strengthen ethical working practices while supporting lawful and respectful employment across all projects.

Review, Monitoring, and Continuous Improvement

Our modern slavery controls are reviewed annually to ensure they remain effective and relevant to current risks. The annual review considers policy updates, supplier audit results, reporting trends, training completion, and any incidents or near misses. Where improvements are needed, we update procedures and strengthen oversight accordingly.

This review process helps us respond to changing labour market conditions and evolving supply chain risks. It also ensures that our measures remain proportionate to the size and nature of our business. As part of this ongoing commitment, Landscapers Redbridge aims to improve due diligence, increase awareness, and reinforce compliance expectations throughout the organisation.

We believe that preventing modern slavery is a shared responsibility requiring vigilance, transparency, and consistent action. By maintaining a zero-tolerance policy, performing supplier audits, offering clear reporting channels, and completing an annual review, Landscapers Redbridge demonstrates its commitment to ethical business conduct and the protection of human rights in every part of its work.
