Modern Slavery Statement for Gardeners Collier Row

Gardeners Collier Row is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our zero-tolerance policy toward slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking in every part of our operations and supply chain. As a responsible gardening service provider, Gardeners Collier Row recognises that ethical practice must underpin all work carried out by our team, contractors, and suppliers.

We expect every person working with Gardeners Collier Row to uphold the highest standards of conduct. This includes ensuring that all employment is voluntary, that workers are paid fairly, and that no one is subjected to intimidation, coercion, or exploitation. We are committed to identifying and addressing risks wherever they may arise, whether in procurement, subcontracting, transport, or the sourcing of materials used by Gardener Collier Row operations.

Our slavery and trafficking prevention approach begins with due diligence. Before entering into new commercial relationships, Gardeners Collier Row assesses suppliers and service providers to ensure they share our ethical standards. This process includes reviewing labour practices, ownership structures, and compliance history, particularly where services or goods may originate from higher-risk regions or sectors.

Supplier oversight is a vital part of our commitment. Supplier audits are conducted on a risk-based basis, with priority given to higher-risk categories and long-term partners. These audits may include document checks, site reviews, and confirmation that workers are of legal working age and employed under lawful conditions. Where concerns are identified, we require prompt corrective action and may suspend or end the relationship if improvements are not made.

We also maintain clear reporting channels so that workers, contractors, and partners can raise concerns confidentially and without fear of retaliation. Any suspected breach of our standards is taken seriously and investigated promptly. Gardeners Collier Row encourages the reporting of unethical conduct, and all concerns are handled with discretion, fairness, and urgency. Where necessary, matters are escalated to senior management for review and action.

Training and awareness are part of our prevention strategy. Staff involved in hiring, procurement, and supplier management receive guidance on recognising warning signs such as restricted movement, withheld wages, deception about work conditions, or signs of control by a third party. By strengthening awareness across the business, Gardeners Collier Row helps reduce the risk of exploitation and supports a culture of accountability.

Our commitment extends beyond internal processes to the wider gardening supply network. We expect materials, equipment, and subcontracted services associated with Gardeners Collier Row to be sourced responsibly and in a manner that respects labour rights. Any supplier working with us must demonstrate that they comply with applicable employment laws and maintain transparent working arrangements. This expectation applies equally to all variants of the Gardener Collier Row brand and related service activities.

We recognise that modern slavery can take many forms and may be hidden within complex supply chains. For this reason, our approach combines prevention, monitoring, and response. If a risk is identified, we seek to work constructively with the supplier to remediate the issue; however, where serious violations are confirmed, we will not hesitate to terminate the relationship. Our zero-tolerance policy is non-negotiable and supported by documented procedures for escalation and intervention.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with current legal requirements and business practices. The annual review considers audit findings, reported concerns, supplier performance, and any changes in operations or sourcing. Gardeners Collier Row will continue to strengthen its safeguards, improve due diligence, and reinforce ethical standards across all activities. Through ongoing review and action, Gardening Collier Row remains committed to preventing modern slavery in every form.
