Modern Slavery Statement for Landscapers Canary Wharf

Landscapers Canary Wharf is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken to prevent modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and exploitation within our operations and across our supply chain. As a responsible landscaping provider, we recognise that vigilance is essential in every aspect of our work, from sourcing materials to engaging subcontractors and seasonal labour.

Our zero-tolerance policy applies to all employees, suppliers, contractors, and business partners. We do not permit any form of modern slavery, child labour, debt bondage, or coercion. This position is embedded in our employment practices, procurement procedures, and contractual expectations. We expect every person working with Canary Wharf landscapers to uphold the same ethical standards and to act immediately if any concern arises.

We carry out risk-based supplier audits to assess compliance with labour, wage, and recruitment standards. These audits may include document checks, site visits, and reviews of workforce management practices. Where we identify higher-risk categories, such as temporary labour or imported goods, we apply enhanced scrutiny. Any supplier found to be acting contrary to this statement may be suspended or removed from our approved list.

Governance and Due Diligence

We maintain clear governance arrangements so that anti-slavery responsibilities are shared across management, procurement, and operational teams. Training is provided to help staff recognise warning signs, including restricted movement, withholding of identity documents, or unusual dependence on third parties. By strengthening awareness, Landscapers Canary Wharf improves its ability to identify risks early and respond decisively. Our approach is proactive, practical, and aligned with our ethical landscaping commitments.

Reporting channels are available to all employees, contractors, and external stakeholders who wish to raise concerns in good faith. Concerns may be escalated through line management, senior leadership, or formal internal reporting procedures. We ensure that all reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled with discretion. No individual will suffer retaliation for speaking up about suspected exploitation or non-compliance.

We also expect our suppliers to maintain transparent recruitment and labour practices. They must not charge workers recruitment fees, retain passports, or impose unfair deductions from wages. Contracts with Canary Wharf landscapers include obligations to comply with applicable labour laws and to cooperate with audits, inspections, and corrective action plans where necessary. This requirement reinforces our broader responsibility to prevent abuse in every stage of service delivery.

Monitoring, Improvement, and Review

Our commitment extends beyond initial checks and relies on continuous monitoring. We review supplier performance, assess emerging risks, and update due diligence methods when circumstances change. If a breach is identified, we will work with the relevant party to agree corrective actions within a defined timeframe. Where remediation is not possible or where serious misconduct is confirmed, we will end the relationship without delay.

Landscapers Canary Wharf believes that meaningful prevention requires consistency, transparency, and accountability. We record incidents, audit outcomes, and actions taken so that lessons can be learned and future risk can be reduced. This statement supports our wider culture of responsibility, ensuring that our zero-tolerance policy remains active in practice rather than existing only on paper.

This statement will be reviewed annually to confirm its effectiveness and to reflect legal, operational, and supply chain developments. The review will consider audit findings, reported concerns, training uptake, and changes in risk profile. Through this annual review, Landscapers Canary Wharf will continue to strengthen its response and uphold the highest standards against modern slavery.
