Modern Slavery Statement — Gardening Services Belmont

Gardening Services Belmont is committed to the highest standards of ethical conduct and human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all our operations and supply chains. As a trusted provider of gardening services Belmont and Belmont garden services, we operate a strict zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, servitude, trafficking or exploitation.

We recognise that risks exist across contracting, subcontracting and seasonal labour. Our approach is founded on transparency, due diligence and continuous improvement. The team at Gardening Services Belmont trains staff to identify indicators of exploitation and to apply our policies consistently. We require all staff and contractors to comply with our standards; breaches are treated as serious misconduct and subject to disciplinary action or termination.

Supplier relationships are central to our mitigation strategy. We evaluate suppliers and subcontractors to ensure Belmont gardening services remain free from modern slavery risks. We include contractual clauses that require compliance with anti-slavery laws and permit audits where necessary. Our vendor selection process assesses labour practices, records of worker payment, working hours and health and safety measures to reduce the chance of abusive practices persisting in our supply chain.

Policies, Training and Due Diligence

Our policy framework is accessible to employees and contractors and is supported by mandatory training modules. Staff engaged in procurement or site supervision complete regular training on recognising and reporting exploitation. We maintain a documented due diligence process to screen prospective suppliers and to re-assess existing partners, ensuring Gardening services in Belmont adhere to our standards. This process combines document checks, site visits and third-party verifications where appropriate.

We operate a practical and confidential set of reporting channels for concerns about modern slavery. Employees, subcontractors and community members can report issues through internal escalation routes and anonymously via an external reporting mechanism. Reports are taken seriously and investigated promptly by senior management. We protect whistleblowers with strict confidentiality measures and do not tolerate retaliation.

To reinforce our commitments, we publish clear expectations for suppliers and undertake targeted supplier audits. Audit activities include verifying payroll records, conducting worker interviews and inspecting accommodation where provided. Key controls include:

• Contractual safeguards requiring suppliers to comply with anti-slavery standards;
• Periodic on-site assessments to confirm working conditions;
• Remediation plans where non-compliance is identified, with timelines and follow-up.

Monitoring, Reporting and Continuous Improvement

We publicly reaffirm our zero-tolerance policy and continuously monitor the efficacy of our mitigation measures. Regular management reviews consider audit findings, training completion rates and the number and nature of reports to measure performance and identify areas for improvement. Belmont garden services are subject to escalating oversight when risks are detected.

Annual Review and Accountability

Our Board and senior leadership conduct an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and our practices. This annual review evaluates supplier audit outcomes, incident response effectiveness and the sufficiency of our reporting channels. Where gaps are found we commit to clear corrective actions, resource allocation and timebound goals to strengthen compliance and protection of vulnerable workers.

In closing, Gardening Services Belmont pledges to uphold human rights across all activities. We will continue to embed anti-slavery measures into procurement, operations and people practices, and to work collaboratively with suppliers and communities to eradicate exploitation. This Statement is an active declaration of our responsibility to prevent modern slavery in Belmont gardening services and in all areas where we operate.
