Gardeners Regents Park - Modern Slavery Statement

Our Commitment to a Slavery-Free Supply Chain

Gardeners Regents Park publishes this Modern Slavery Statement to set out our continued commitment to preventing slavery and human trafficking in any part of our business or supply chain. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, exploitation and forced labour. This anti-slavery statement applies to all employees, contractors and suppliers engaged by Gardeners Regents Park and reflects our position as an organisation committed to ethical conduct.

We define a modern slavery policy as more than a document: it is a set of ongoing actions, controls and responsibilities. Our slavery and human trafficking statement clarifies expectations, assigns accountability and embeds responsible sourcing requirements into procurement and contracting processes. All staff receive briefings to reinforce our values and the procedures that support them.

Scope and Principles — This modern slavery policy covers direct operations and the extended chain of suppliers and subcontractors that support our landscaping, horticulture and facilities management activities. We require suppliers to adhere to our standards and to provide evidence of lawful working practices, fair pay and safe working conditions. Gardeners Regents Park is committed to acting ethically and with integrity, and to ensuring that modern slavery is not present in any part of our operations.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

We operate a risk-based supplier audit programme. Key elements include:

• Pre-contract checks — verification of identity, right-to-work documentation, and recruitment practices;
• On-site audits — scheduled and unannounced reviews of labour practices, working conditions and payroll records;
• Corrective action plans — mandatory remediation where non-compliance is found, with timelines and follow-up;
• Contract clauses — anti-slavery warranties and termination rights for serious breaches.

Our supplier due diligence combines desktop reviews, desktop risk scoring and field assessments. We prioritise audits by risk indicators such as geographic location, labour intensity, or use of third-party labour providers. Suppliers identified as high risk are subject to more frequent checks and must provide documented evidence of worker protections.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing — Gardeners Regents Park maintains clear and accessible reporting channels for employees, contractors and third parties to raise concerns. We promote safe, confidential and, where requested, anonymous reporting routes. All reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and handled with confidentiality. We strictly prohibit any form of retaliation against anyone who raises concerns in good faith.

Remediation and Corrective Measures — Where instances of exploitation or slavery are identified, we take immediate action to protect affected individuals and to remediate issues. Responses may include removal of workers from abusive situations, engagement with authorities, termination of supplier relationships and implementation of preventive measures. We work to ensure victims receive appropriate support and that corrective measures reduce the likelihood of recurrence.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement — This anti-slavery statement is reviewed at least once every 12 months by our senior leadership and governance bodies. The annual review assesses the effectiveness of our modern slavery controls, supplier audit outcomes, training uptake and incident responses. Findings inform policy updates, resource allocation and training priorities. Through continuous monitoring and improvement, Gardeners Regents Park aims to strengthen its ability to identify, prevent and remediate modern slavery risks.
