The garden features a well-maintained lawn with lush, dense grass bordering the flower beds, which are edged with dark soil. Behind her, a mature tree with textured bark and sprawling branches provides partial shade, and a tidy paved pathway curves through the leafy background, indicating a landscaped residential yard.

The overall outdoor space reflects professional garden maintenance, with attention to plant health and aesthetic appeal, representative of services offered by Gardener Parsons Green in the local London district. We operate a strict zero-tolerance policy and take immediate action where concerns arise. Actions include investigations, remedial measures for affected workers and termination of relationships with suppliers who breach our standards. Our response is designed to protect victims and ensure perpetrators are prevented from continuing harmful practices.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We perform ongoing supplier due diligence to identify and mitigate risks. This includes risk-based screening, contractual clauses prohibiting forced labour and periodic assessments. Supply chain transparency is central to our approach; we require suppliers to provide information about their labour practices and to allow verification.

The garden features a well-maintained lawn with lush, green grass in the foreground and a backdrop of tall trees with vibrant yellow-green foliage, indicating a healthy and thriving outdoor space. The soil around the plant appears dark and moist, with gardening tools and black plastic plant pots arranged nearby on a wooden surface or table. The scene is illuminated by natural daylight, suggesting a clear, sunny day. This setting reflects professional gardening practices suitable for maintaining landscaped gardens and outdoor areas in Parsons Green, London, and highlights services such as planting, lawn care, and garden maintenance, which Gardener Parsons Green offers to local clients. Where risk is identified we conduct targeted supplier audits and site visits. Audits focus on worker contracts, recruitment fees, working hours, wage payment and living conditions. Typical measures include:

  • document checks and interviews with workers;
  • verification of recruitment and payment processes;
  • corrective action plans with clear timelines.

We use a mix of announced and unannounced audits, third-party auditors and follow-up assessments to ensure that non-compliances are addressed. Our supplier management team works collaboratively with partners to drive continuous improvement.

Reporting Channels and Protection

We provide multiple reporting channels for concerns about modern slavery, including internal hotlines and confidential reporting routes. All reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and handled sensitively to protect the privacy and safety of potential victims. We encourage anyone who suspects exploitation to report it without delay.
