Gardener Pinner Modern Slavery Statement

Company commitment graphic representing Gardener Pinner's anti-slavery pledge Gardener Pinner affirms a zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of forced labour, servitude, human trafficking and exploitation. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines our anti-slavery commitments across operations and supply chains and should be read as our official anti-modern slavery policy. We recognise that slavery and human trafficking can occur in many forms and commit to continuous improvement in preventing these abuses.

Scope and Commitment

Our modern slavery statement applies to all employees, contractors and third-party suppliers engaged by Gardener Pinner. We adopt a risk-based approach to identify, assess and mitigate the risk of modern slavery in sourcing and service delivery. We will not knowingly work with partners who tolerate exploitation and we expect the same high standards from those who represent us.

The image depicts a family engaged in gardening activities in a well-maintained outdoor garden space. In the foreground, a woman is kneeling on the grass, using a small garden tool to tend to the soil or a plant, with a child's hand nearby holding a small garden fork. The child appears to be interested in the gardening task. Adjacent to them, a young girl is seated on the lawn, opening a blue backpack with plant illustrations, while there are gardening supplies such as a terracotta watering can, a small potted plant, and a gardening trowel placed on the grass close by. In the background, a man and a boy stand together, with the man smiling and looking toward the girl, possibly supervising or assisting. The garden surroundings feature a lush green lawn bordered by flower beds with various flowering plants and shrubs, and some mature trees in the distance. The scene is bathed in natural daylight, suggesting a clear and pleasant day, with part of a town or suburban landscape visible beyond the garden, enhancing the sense of a welcoming outdoor space suitable for gardening and outdoor family activities, reflective of professional gardening services such as those provided by Gardener Pinner in Pinner, Middlesex. To make our expectations clear we maintain a Supplier Code of Conduct and implement due diligence measures. Key actions include:

  • Contractual clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery laws.
  • Pre-engagement checks and risk screening for new suppliers.
  • Ongoing monitoring and corrective action plans where issues are identified.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

Gardener Pinner conducts targeted supplier audits and inspections as part of our ethical sourcing and slavery and human trafficking statement commitments. Audits are prioritised according to risk factors such as industry, geography and labour intensity. Where appropriate, audits are carried out on-site or remotely and may include documentation review, worker interviews and verification of payroll and recruitment practices.

A gardener wearing a grey long-sleeved shirt and vibrant orange gardening gloves is pruning a cluster of pink roses in a well-maintained outdoor garden. The garden features a lush, dense green lawn foreground, with the roses situated near neatly trimmed evergreen shrubs or bushes. In the background, more shrubbery and possibly trees create a natural, landscaped environment. The scene appears to be on a clear, sunny day, with natural light illuminating the vibrant colors of the flowers and foliage. The gardener's hands are carefully trimming the roses using garden pruning shears, indicating active garden maintenance. The setting suggests a residential garden in Pinner or nearby in Middlesex, showcasing the typical landscaped outdoor space that gardens and lawn care specialists like Gardener Pinner might service, emphasizing tidy, healthy plants and vibrant flower beds as part of high-quality gardening services. Our supplier audit programme includes a mixture of announced and unannounced visits and is supported by contractual audit rights. We engage third-party auditors for independent verification in higher-risk areas and require suppliers to provide evidence of lawful employment, transparent recruitment fees and appropriate worker protections.

Where non-compliance is found, a formal remediation plan is agreed, monitored and escalated if necessary. Persistent failure to remediate can result in suspension or termination of the supplier relationship. These measures form part of our broader anti-slavery statement and ethical procurement strategy.

The image displays a gardening scene set outdoors on a wooden surface, with a variety of garden tools and plants. On the left, there is a pair of hand garden tools—a trowel and a cultivator—leaning against a small potted plant with silver-grey foliage. Next to it, a terracotta pot contains lush green herbs or leafy plants, indicating active gardening or planting activity. In front of the pots, a coiled piece of natural twine is placed, ready for garden tying or support. To the right, a prominent bright green watering can is positioned, suggesting ongoing watering and maintenance. The background features a blurred view of a garden with vibrant green foliage, which might include hedges or trees, under soft natural lighting with a slightly overcast sky, casting diffuse light over the scene. The scene exemplifies typical gardening tools and plant arrangements that could be part of a professional garden maintenance or landscaping service, such as those offered by Gardener Pinner in Pinner or nearby areas within the postcode district. This outdoor setup reflects a well-maintained garden area suitable for various lawn care and planting services, emphasizing natural tones and practical elements involved in gardening activities. Reporting channels are essential to the effectiveness of this statement. Gardener Pinner operates confidential and secure channels for concerns about exploitation, including anonymous reporting options and a clear escalation process. All reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and documented.

We provide training for staff and supply chain partners to recognise signs of modern slavery and encourage a culture of vigilance and responsibility. Whistleblowers are protected from retaliation, and incidents are managed in line with legal obligations and our ethical standards. The company emphasises transparency and uses corrective actions to prevent recurrence.

In the background, there is a small garden wheelbarrow filled with soil and additional plants, along with a red watering can placed on the grass. The garden features a variety of colorful flowers and lush green foliage, with sunlight filtering through the trees, suggesting a bright, clear day. The scene reflects typical gardening activities in a residential outdoor space, with attention to plant care and garden organization, aligning with professional gardening and landscaping services in the Pinner or broader northwest London area, inferred from the context of the Gardener Pinner website. Oversight and annual review: The Board and senior management are responsible for oversight of our modern slavery initiatives. This anti-slavery statement is reviewed at least annually to assess effectiveness, update risk assessments and revise policies. Results from supplier audits, incident reports, and training completion rates inform the review and action plans.

In closing, Gardener Pinner’s Modern Slavery Statement represents our enduring commitment to ethical business practices. We will continue to refine our procedures, strengthen supplier engagement and invest in resources to ensure compliance. Our zero-tolerance approach to forced labour is central to our values and operational decisions.

We commit to publishing updates and outcomes from our annual review to demonstrate progress and accountability. By maintaining robust supplier audits, clear reporting channels and a strong remediation framework, Gardener Pinner seeks to minimise the risk of modern slavery within our sphere of influence.

Signed on behalf of Gardener Pinner leadership: this anti-modern slavery policy and related practices are active and enforced, and will be reassessed periodically to reflect evolving regulatory expectations and emerging risks.
