Modern Slavery Statement for Landscapers Soho

Landscapers Soho is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the principles and controls that guide our operations, reflecting our zero-tolerance approach to forced labour, human trafficking, debt bondage, child labour, and any form of exploitation. As a responsible Soho landscaping company, we recognise that even businesses with limited direct labour can still be affected through supply chains, subcontractors, and service partners.

Our policy applies to all employees, temporary workers, contractors, and suppliers engaged by Landscapers Soho. We expect every individual and organisation associated with our work to act lawfully and ethically. This means ensuring fair recruitment practices, transparent working conditions, and respect for the dignity of every worker. We will not knowingly enter into or continue any relationship where modern slavery risks are identified and not addressed.

To support this commitment, landscapers in Soho must follow clear internal procedures when engaging suppliers or arranging services. Due diligence checks are carried out before new suppliers are approved, with particular attention to labour sourcing, pay practices, subcontracting arrangements, and adherence to employment law. Where appropriate, we request evidence of policies, worker-rights controls, and compliance documentation to confirm that our partners share our ethical standards.

Supplier oversight is a key part of our approach. We conduct supplier audits on a risk-based basis, prioritising businesses involved in labour-intensive activities or higher-risk sourcing channels. These audits may include document reviews, site visits, and discussions with management about workforce practices. Where concerns arise, suppliers are expected to implement corrective actions promptly. If they fail to do so, we may suspend or end the relationship.

Our modern slavery controls also include staff awareness and escalation procedures. Employees involved in procurement, hiring, or contractor management are briefed on warning signs such as unusual recruitment fees, restricted movement, withheld documents, or inconsistent pay arrangements. By strengthening awareness across the organisation, Landscapers Soho reduces the risk of exploitation being overlooked and ensures concerns are recognised early.

We provide multiple reporting channels so that concerns can be raised safely and in confidence. Any worker, supplier, or associate who suspects unethical behaviour is encouraged to report it through internal management channels or via a designated confidential reporting route. Reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled as sensitively as possible. Retaliation against anyone who raises a genuine concern is strictly prohibited.

Risk Management and Responsibility

The responsibility for implementing this statement sits with senior management, who oversee compliance, review significant risks, and ensure that corrective action is taken where needed. Our operations are regularly assessed for exposure to modern slavery risks, including procurement categories, outsourced labour, and third-party delivery models. This risk-based approach helps Soho landscapers maintain high standards while adapting controls to the realities of our business.

If a breach or suspected breach is identified, we will investigate immediately and may take steps including enhanced monitoring, temporary suspension of work, or termination of contracts. In cases involving serious concern, we will cooperate with the relevant authorities and support any lawful investigation. Our aim is not only to comply with the law, but to help prevent harm wherever our influence extends.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains current, effective, and aligned with legal obligations and operational changes. The review considers audit findings, supplier performance, incident reports, and any emerging risks within the wider labour market. Through continual improvement, Landscapers Soho reinforces its commitment to ethical working practices and a supply chain free from modern slavery.
