Modern Slavery Statement for Landscaping Hernehill

Landscaping Hernehill is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with full respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that even in landscaping services, risks can exist across labour recruitment, subcontracting, transport, materials sourcing, and seasonal work arrangements.

Our approach is built on a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery in all forms. We do not knowingly work with any individual, supplier, or contractor involved in abusive labour practices. All work carried out under the Landscaping Hernehill name must align with our ethical standards, legal obligations, and commitment to fair treatment. We expect everyone associated with our business to uphold the same principles.

To support this commitment, we carry out careful due diligence on suppliers and service partners. Supplier audits are used to assess labour practices, recruitment methods, wage arrangements, working hours, and record-keeping. When appropriate, the Landscaping Hernehill team requests evidence of compliance, including right-to-work checks and policies against child labour, debt bondage, and coercion.

We also take a risk-based approach to supplier monitoring. Higher-risk categories, such as labour agencies, subcontracted crews, and imported goods suppliers, receive closer scrutiny. Where concerns are identified, Landscaping Hernehill may require corrective action, suspend engagement, or end the relationship if standards are not met. This process helps us reduce exposure to hidden exploitation and reinforces ethical conduct across our operations.

Reporting channels are essential to identifying and addressing possible concerns quickly. We encourage employees, contractors, and suppliers to raise any suspicion of modern slavery, unsafe recruitment, restricted movement, withheld documents, or intimidation. Reports can be made through internal management routes, and all concerns are handled seriously, confidentially, and without retaliation. This open approach helps create a culture where speaking up is safe and supported.

Training and awareness are also important parts of our response. Relevant staff are made aware of the warning signs of modern slavery and how to respond if an issue is raised. In the Landscaping Hernehill environment, this includes attention to labour supply chains, site access controls, and worker documentation. By keeping awareness high, we improve our ability to spot risks early and act appropriately.

Our commitment extends beyond immediate operations to the wider ethical performance of our business relationships. Landscaping Hernehill expects suppliers to share our zero-tolerance stance and to maintain transparent, lawful employment practices. Where a supplier cannot demonstrate adequate safeguards, we will work with them to improve standards or seek alternative arrangements that better reflect our values.

We review this statement and our related practices on an annual review basis to ensure they remain effective, relevant, and aligned with current legislation and emerging risk areas. This yearly assessment considers supplier performance, any reported concerns, changes in our service model, and opportunities to strengthen controls. The review process supports continuous improvement across Landscaping Hernehill and ensures accountability remains central to our approach.

Looking ahead, we will continue refining our procurement checks, enhancing internal awareness, and reinforcing responsible oversight across the supply chain. Modern slavery is a serious crime and a grave violation of human dignity. Through ongoing vigilance, ethical leadership, and clear expectations, Landscaping Hernehill aims to help prevent exploitation and promote fair, lawful working conditions in every part of our business.

This statement reflects our current practices and the standards we expect today, while also recognising that safeguarding against modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility.

Landscaping Hernehill remains committed to improving its controls, strengthening supplier accountability, and maintaining transparent reporting arrangements for anyone who wishes to raise concerns.

In summary, our modern slavery commitments are grounded in integrity, careful supplier audits, accessible reporting channels, and annual review. These measures help ensure Landscaping Hernehill continues to operate in a lawful, ethical, and respectful manner.
