Modern Slavery Statement — Lawn Mowing Hounslow

Lawn Mowing Hounslow is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our operations. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take across our Hounslow lawn mowing and grounds maintenance activities to identify, prevent and respond to any suspicion of forced labour, exploitation or human trafficking. We operate with a clear ethos: zero tolerance of all forms of modern slavery across our business and supply chains.

Our zero-tolerance policy applies to employees, contractors and suppliers engaged in mower services and broader landscaping works. All staff are made aware that any form of coercion, withholding of wages, deception about employment terms or restriction of movement is unacceptable. We require every colleague to adhere to our code of conduct, and managers are trained to recognise the signs of exploitation in the context of local lawn-mowing Hounslow activities and broader service delivery.

We set clear expectations for suppliers and sub-contractors who provide products or services to our mowing operations. Our procurement process includes pre-contract checks and ongoing supplier audits. Key audit actions include:

• Verification of right to work and employment records for on-site staff;
• Review of pay records, working hours and terms of employment;
• On-site visits and interviews to corroborate audit findings;
• Supply chain mapping to identify high-risk tiers and locations.

Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

We conduct risk-based due diligence across our supply chain, focusing on areas such as seasonal labour, subcontracted landscaping crews and equipment rental partners. Audits are scheduled based on risk profiles: higher-risk suppliers are reviewed annually, while routine suppliers are assessed on a rotating cycle. Audit findings are recorded and tracked, and suppliers are expected to implement corrective action plans within specified timeframes.

We maintain multiple reporting channels for concerns related to modern slavery in our mowing services in Hounslow. These channels are available to employees, contractors and third parties to raise issues confidentially and, where requested, anonymously. Reports may be raised verbally to a trained manager or through written means and are investigated promptly. All reports are handled with sensitivity and respect for the reporter's safety.

When an allegation is substantiated, we take proportionate action. Remediation may include working with the supplier to correct the situation, supporting affected individuals, and, where necessary, terminating contracts. We reserve the right to pursue legal action against perpetrators and to collaborate with appropriate authorities and NGOs to ensure victims receive protection and support. Our approach is survivor-centred and aims to restore rights and dignity.

Training, Monitoring and Annual Review

Lawn Mowing Hounslow invests in regular training for staff and managers to recognise the signs of modern slavery, and we communicate our expectations clearly to all suppliers. We use a combination of routine audits, spot checks, and worker feedback mechanisms to monitor compliance. Our performance metrics include the number of supplier audits completed, time to remediate findings, and training completion rates across the team.

We conduct an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and our related policies to ensure continuous improvement. The annual review examines audit outcomes, incident reports, supplier performance and emerging risks within the landscaping and local services sector. Findings from the review inform policy updates, enhanced due diligence processes and additional training modules to strengthen our response to modern slavery risks.

In summary, Lawn Mowing Hounslow commits to proactive prevention, robust supplier audits, clear reporting channels and an annual review cycle that together form a comprehensive programme to combat modern slavery. Through sustained vigilance across our Hounslow lawn-maintenance operations and the broader supply chain, we strive to ensure that exploitation has no place in our services or partnerships.
