Modern Slavery Statement — Gardening Mayfair

Gardening Mayfair (also referred to as Gardening-Mayfair and GardeningMayfair) is committed to a strict, zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour across our operations. This statement sets out how Gardening Mayfair Ltd identifies, prevents and mitigates the risks of exploitation in our workforce and supply chains. Our approach is grounded in strong governance, clear expectations for suppliers and a firm commitment to continuous improvement across Mayfair gardening and related garden services.

We recognise our responsibility as a local employer and purchaser of horticultural goods and services. Our policy applies to all workers, contractors and subcontractors engaged by GardeningMayfair and to suppliers of plants, materials and equipment used by our Mayfair gardeners. The policy is published internally and reflected in our procurement processes, contract conditions and staff training programmes, ensuring that the principle of fair treatment is embedded in everyday activity.

To operationalise our commitments, Gardening Mayfair employs a programme of supplier due diligence and supplier audits. We conduct risk-based audits and assessments of vendors, suppliers and labour providers. Audit measures include site visits, document verification, employment record reviews and interviews with workers where appropriate. Key controls are outlined in our supplier code of conduct and contractual clauses: suppliers must provide transparent payroll records, proof of right to work and fair recruitment processes. Corrective actions are required when issues are identified; persistent non-compliance may lead to termination of supply relationships.

Policy Expectations and Actions

Gardening Mayfair's expectations extend beyond compliance: we require all commercial partners to uphold the same high standards. Our zero-tolerance approach means immediate investigation of credible concerns. Training is provided for managers, procurement teams and frontline supervisors to spot signs of exploitation and to respond appropriately. We use the terms Mayfair Gardening, Gardeners in Mayfair and other variations to ensure clarity across documents and communications while keeping focus on the core goal: eradicating modern slavery from our sphere of influence.

Reporting channels are central to our response framework. Employees, contractors and third parties can raise concerns through designated internal reporting routes that protect confidentiality. Our whistleblowing pathways are supported by clear procedures to assess and investigate allegations promptly and fairly. We maintain records of all reports and outcomes and ensure that no worker faces retaliation for raising legitimate concerns in good faith. Where necessary, we will work with law enforcement and specialist support organisations to protect affected individuals.

Supplier audits are supplemented by contractual requirements and regular performance reviews. Our procurement team uses a combination of desk-based risk screening and physical checks for higher-risk suppliers. We prioritise businesses and partners that can demonstrate responsible recruitment, transparent supply chains and fair treatment of workers. Expectations are communicated during tendering and contract renewal processes to ensure alignment with Gardening-Mayfair's human rights commitments.

Monitoring, Reporting Channels and Annual Review

Monitoring and corrective action form part of our continuous improvement cycle. We publish internal compliance reports, track remediation progress and update senior management on systemic findings. Our monitoring includes both scheduled audits and unannounced checks where risk indicators warrant. Where violations are identified, we require timely remediation plans, support victim recovery where possible, and take decisive procurement decisions to protect workers.

We maintain multiple reporting channels to ensure accessibility: line managers, HR, a confidential reporting mailbox, and an escalation route to senior leadership. All channels are subject to confidentiality safeguards and documented response timelines. Responsibilities are delegated clearly: procurement manages supplier engagement and audits, HR oversees employee welfare and investigative processes, while senior leaders review policy effectiveness.

Gardening Mayfair conducts an annual review of its modern slavery statement and associated policies. The review evaluates audit outcomes, training completion rates, reported incidents and the effectiveness of remediation measures. Findings inform updated actions, resource allocation and supplier engagement strategies. In closing, Gardening Mayfair is resolute in its commitment: we will continue to strengthen protections, expand supplier audits and maintain open reporting channels to safeguard workers across all our operations and supply chains.
