Modern Slavery Statement for Landscaping Coneyhall

Landscaping Coneyhall is committed to conducting business with integrity, respect, and fairness. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that landscaping services can involve multiple suppliers, seasonal labour, subcontracted work, and materials sourced from different locations, which can increase risk if controls are not maintained carefully.

Our zero-tolerance policy is clear: we do not accept any form of modern slavery in any part of our work. This applies to all employees, contractors, temporary workers, agency staff, and suppliers. We expect everyone associated with Landscaping Coneyhall to act ethically and to comply with relevant labour, employment, and human rights laws. Any breach of this policy may result in disciplinary action, contract termination, or referral to the appropriate authorities.

We understand that vigilance is essential. To help identify risk, Landscaping Coneyhall carries out supplier audits and checks on selected third parties based on risk level, location, and service type. These audits may include reviewing labour practices, recruitment methods, right-to-work evidence, wage arrangements, and working conditions. Where issues are identified, we require corrective action and monitor progress closely.

Our procurement process includes due diligence before engaging new suppliers. We seek assurances that suppliers share our standards and can demonstrate responsible employment practices. In higher-risk situations, we may request additional documentation or evidence of worker protections. This approach helps Landscaping Coneyhall reduce exposure to exploitation and reinforces responsible sourcing across the supply chain.

The middle of our compliance approach is training and awareness. Managers and relevant staff are encouraged to recognise warning signs such as restricted movement, unusual wage deductions, excessive overtime, withholding of documents, or workers appearing fearful or controlled. By improving awareness, Landscaping Coneyhall strengthens its ability to respond quickly and appropriately when concerns arise.

We also maintain secure and accessible reporting channels for employees and contractors to raise concerns about unethical conduct, including suspected modern slavery. Reports may be made through internal management routes or through designated safeguarding and compliance processes. All concerns are handled seriously, investigated promptly, and treated as confidentially as possible. We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith.

If a concern is substantiated, we will take decisive action. This may include stopping work with a supplier, supporting remediation where appropriate, improving monitoring, or notifying law enforcement or other relevant bodies. Our response is guided by the principle that protecting vulnerable people is more important than convenience or short-term commercial advantage.

Risk management is embedded into our everyday operations. We review supplier relationships regularly and consider the nature of the work, the labour model, and any geographic or sector-specific risks. Landscaping Coneyhall aims to build partnerships only with organisations that respect workers’ rights and share our commitment to lawful, ethical practice. We also encourage transparent record-keeping so that employment and payment arrangements can be verified when needed.

Our leadership team is responsible for overseeing compliance with this statement and ensuring that anti-slavery measures remain effective. Responsibility is shared across the business, from procurement and site management to supervision and administration. Clear roles support consistent decision-making and help Landscaping Coneyhall maintain a culture where exploitation cannot be ignored.

We undertake an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and our associated controls. During the review, we assess the effectiveness of supplier audits, reporting channels, training, and due diligence processes. We also consider any incidents, emerging risks, legal developments, and improvements that could strengthen our approach. This review ensures that our policy remains current and practical.

As part of this yearly process, Landscaping Coneyhall looks for opportunities to improve monitoring and prevention. Where needed, we update procedures, refresh guidance for staff, and reinforce expectations for suppliers. By revisiting our commitments each year, we demonstrate that ethical conduct is not a one-time statement but an ongoing responsibility.

In summary, Landscaping Coneyhall is dedicated to preventing modern slavery through a clear zero-tolerance policy, proportionate supplier audits, reliable reporting channels, and a disciplined annual review. We will continue to act with care, transparency, and accountability to protect workers and uphold the highest standards across our business.
