Modern Slavery Statement — Lawn Mowing Kingston Commitment

Lawn Mowing Kingston (also presented as Kingston lawn mowing and lawn mowing in Kingston) is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our operations. This Modern Slavery Statement explains our approach, expectations and actions to ensure workers across our Kingston lawn-mowing services supply chain are treated fairly and lawfully.

We recognise the risks associated with labour exploitation in landscaping, grounds maintenance and related subcontracted services. Our statement applies to all employees, contractors and suppliers engaged by Lawn Mowing Kingston and is informed by relevant anti-slavery legislation and best practice. We adopt a zero-tolerance policy to forced labour, servitude, human trafficking and any form of exploitation.

Zero-Tolerance and Ethical Standards

Our zero-tolerance policy means we will not knowingly work with organisations that engage in modern slavery practices. All suppliers and partners must comply with our code of conduct and contractual terms that explicitly prohibit forced labour, excessive working hours without fair compensation, withholding of identity documents, and other abusive practices.

To support this commitment, Lawn Mowing Kingston operates a supplier due diligence and audit programme tailored to the risks in lawn-mowing Kingston operations and related services. We prioritise checks on recruitment methods, subcontracting arrangements and workers' contractual terms to spot indicators of exploitation early.

Supplier Audits and Compliance Measures

Our supplier audit process includes:

• Pre-engagement risk assessments to identify high-risk suppliers and activities;
• Regular documentation checks, including right-to-work evidence and payroll sampling;
• On-site or virtual audits focusing on recruitment, working conditions and sub-supplier management;
• Corrective action plans where issues are found, with timelines and follow-up audits;
• Termination of contracts for persistent non-compliance with our anti-slavery requirements.

We maintain clear reporting channels to enable workers, contractors and third parties to raise concerns confidentially. These channels are designed to be accessible, secure and free from retaliation so that anyone within our Kingston lawn mowing network can report suspicious or abusive practices.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Reports can be raised through internal HR escalation, designated compliance officers or anonymous reporting mechanisms. We ensure that all reports are treated seriously, assessed promptly and investigated with appropriate support provided to affected individuals where required. Confidentiality and non-retaliation are central to our approach.

Training, Monitoring and Continuous Improvement

Lawn Mowing Kingston invests in regular training for staff and procurement teams so that our people can recognise risks and take swift action. We maintain records of training attendance and ensure supervisors and managers are competent to spot signs of modern slavery in landscaping and grounds maintenance contexts.

We also engage with suppliers to build capacity: offering guidance, sharing expectations and supporting improvements where risks are identified. Collaboration with peer organisations and industry networks helps us refine our approach and respond to emerging threats to worker safety.

Our performance is measured through key indicators including the number of supplier audits completed, corrective actions closed, reports investigated and training hours delivered. We use these metrics to inform risk-based prioritisation across the Lawn Mowing Kingston service footprint.

Annual Review and Accountability

We undertake an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and related policies to ensure ongoing effectiveness. The review considers audit outcomes, incident reports, training impact and changes in supply chains or regulatory expectations. Findings feed into a rolling improvement plan and updates to contractual terms and supplier engagement practices.

Responsibility for implementing and reviewing this statement sits with senior management and designated compliance leads. We are committed to transparency, continual improvement and the elimination of modern slavery across all aspects of our operations and subcontracted services.

By asserting a clear zero-tolerance stance, executing robust supplier audits, maintaining secure reporting channels and conducting an annual review, Lawn Mowing Kingston pledges to protect workers and uphold human rights within our lawn mowing, grounds maintenance and landscaping activities.
