Modern Slavery Statement — Gardening Pimlico

Gardening Pimlico maintains a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking in any part of our operations or supply chain. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps GardeninG Pimlico Ltd has taken during the reporting year to prevent, identify and mitigate the risk of slavery, forced labour and human trafficking across our business activities and relationships. Our commitment as Pimlico gardening services is clear: we will not tolerate exploitation.

Our policy applies to all employees, contractors and suppliers engaged by Gardening in Pimlico and Gardening-Pimlico partners. The statement covers direct operations, subcontracted labour and third-party suppliers of materials, plants and seasonal staffing. We recognise that landscaping and garden maintenance can involve high-risk labour segments; therefore we commit to proportionate and continuous due diligence.

We operate a robust supplier audit programme to ensure compliance with our standards. Supplier audits include:

• document checks for right-to-work and wage records;
• on-site visits and interviews with workers;
• verification of recruitment practices and third-party labour providers;
• contractual clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery standards.

As part of our

zero-tolerance policy

, any supplier, contractor or team member found to be complicit in modern slavery practices will face immediate action, including termination of contracts and notification to relevant authorities when appropriate. Gardening Pimlico Ltd mandates corrective action plans where remediation is feasible and prioritises victim support in all remedial measures.

Reporting channels

We provide multiple, accessible reporting channels so concerns can be raised safely and confidentially. These include:

• internal escalation to senior compliance or management teams;
• anonymous reporting mechanisms where available;
• encouragement to report any suspicion of coercion, withholding of wages, deception in recruitment or restricted movement.

All reports are treated seriously and are investigated promptly. We ensure that reporting individuals are protected from retaliation and that victims are referred to appropriate support services. Training emphasises the importance of speaking up and the processes available for Pimlico Gardeners and staff across the Gardening Pimlico network.

Our due diligence includes pre-contract checks, risk assessments for vulnerable supplier categories, and periodic supplier audits. We use risk-based prioritisation to target high-risk suppliers first, including seasonal labour providers and international plant suppliers. We also maintain mandatory contractual clauses requiring compliance with modern slavery law and our code of conduct.

We commit to an annual review of our Modern Slavery Statement and related policies. The annual review evaluates:

• effectiveness of supplier audits and corrective actions;
• training uptake and awareness among teams providing gardening services in Pimlico;
• trends in reported incidents and remediation outcomes.

Remediation and continuous improvement are core to our approach. Where issues are identified, we require timely corrective action and monitor implementation. We will not benefit from exploitative practices and will take decisive steps to end relationships where compliance cannot be assured. Our internal governance assigns responsibility for implementation to senior management and the board, ensuring that anti-slavery measures are embedded across the organisation.
