Modern Slavery Statement for Lawn Mowing and Grounds Care

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our commitment to preventing modern slavery across all aspects of our lawn mowing, grass cutting and mower services operations. We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards forced labour, child labour and human trafficking in the provision of lawn-care mowing and garden maintenance. Our approach applies to direct employees, subcontractors and the extended supply chain that supports our lawn maintenance and property upkeep activities.

We assess risks in operational areas such as seasonal landscaping, temporary contract labour and equipment suppliers. This document explains how we conduct due diligence, implement supplier audits, maintain reporting channels and deliver an annual review cycle designed to identify and remediate risks in all turf and landscape services. Transparency and continuous improvement are central to our responsibility to those performing mower services and related roles.

Our zero-tolerance policy is explicit in every contract: any evidence of exploitation leads to immediate suspension of contracts and remedial action for affected individuals. We require suppliers engaged in grass cutting, lawn care mowing and grounds maintenance to confirm compliance with anti-slavery laws and to demonstrate employment practices that respect workers' rights, including fair pay, lawful working hours and safe conditions.

Due Diligence, Supplier Audits and Monitoring

We perform targeted due diligence across our supply chain for garden care mowing and related services, using risk-based criteria such as geography, labor intensity and subcontracting layers. Our procurement teams review employment records, right-to-work documentation and payroll processes to verify ethical practices. We insist on clear contractual clauses that allow us to audit and, where necessary, terminate relationships with non-compliant suppliers.

Supplier audits are scheduled and unannounced. Audits combine document review, worker interviews and site inspections to assess conditions for those engaged in lawn mowing and landscape work. Audit findings are documented, and corrective action plans are agreed with suppliers. Persistent breaches trigger contract termination and, where appropriate, coordination with authorities to protect exploited individuals.

Key actions include:

• Regular contractual checks for subcontracted mower services and landscape contractors;
• Mandatory compliance evidence from suppliers in grass cutting and lawn maintenance;
• Remediation plans and follow-up audits where risks are identified.

Reporting Channels, Training and Annual Review

We maintain multiple safe reporting channels for staff and contractors to raise concerns about slavery or exploitation in lawn mowing, grass cutting or broader groundskeeping services. Reports are treated confidentially and investigated promptly. All allegations prompt immediate risk assessment and, when necessary, suspension of the accused contractor pending investigation. We encourage internal whistleblowing and protect reporters from retaliation.

Training is provided to procurement officers, site managers and crew leaders involved in mower services and lawn maintenance to spot signs of exploitation, including unusual payment arrangements, withheld documents or restricted freedom of movement. Training is refreshed periodically and tailored to the realities of seasonal landscaping and temporary workforce models.

We commit to an annual review process that evaluates the effectiveness of our anti-slavery measures across lawn-care mowing and associated supply chains. The review includes analysis of audit outcomes, incident reports, and corrective actions taken. Findings inform policy updates, strengthened contractual terms and changes to our supplier engagement strategy. We publish the results internally and use them to refine training, auditing frequency and risk assessments.

In summary, our organisation is dedicated to eradicating modern slavery from every aspect of our mower services and landscaping operations. We adopt a proactive, risk-based approach combining robust supplier audits, clear contractual protections, accessible reporting channels and a formal annual review to ensure continuous improvement. Strong governance, leadership commitment and worker-focused remediation underpin our efforts to keep exploitation out of lawn mowing, garden maintenance and broader grounds-care activities.

By embedding these measures into procurement, operations and workforce management we aim to create safer workplaces and ethical supply chains for grass cutting and all related services. Our stance is uncompromising: modern slavery has no place in our industry or our supply chain.

We will continue to monitor legal developments, engage with industry partners and refine our controls so that victims are protected and obligations are fulfilled throughout every stage of service delivery from routine lawn maintenance to complex landscape contracts.
