Modern Slavery Statement for Landscaping Queenspark

Landscaping Queenspark is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps taken to prevent slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and child labour within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that the landscaping sector can involve complex labour arrangements, seasonal work, and multiple suppliers, which can increase risk. For that reason, we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of exploitation.

Our approach applies to all aspects of Queenspark landscaping, including the sourcing of materials, subcontracted services, transportation, and site-based labour. We expect all staff, contractors, and suppliers to uphold the same ethical standards. Any breach of this policy may result in immediate corrective action, suspension of work, or termination of the business relationship.

We also provide clear expectations at the start of every commercial relationship. Supplier onboarding includes confirmation that labour is freely chosen, wages are paid lawfully, and working conditions comply with applicable laws. This is an important part of our wider commitment to responsible Queenspark landscaping services and sustainable business conduct.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

To reduce risk, Landscaping Queenspark carries out proportionate due diligence on suppliers and subcontractors. This includes reviewing labour practices, verifying business registrations where relevant, and assessing whether high-risk materials or services are being sourced from regions or sectors with known exploitation concerns. We use supplier audits to check compliance with our standards and to identify any gaps that require improvement.

Audits may be planned or unannounced depending on the level of risk. They can include document reviews, worker interviews, payroll checks, and inspection of site arrangements. Where concerns are identified, suppliers are required to implement corrective actions within a defined timeframe. Failure to cooperate or repeated non-compliance is treated seriously and may lead to contract review.

In addition, we favour long-term relationships with reputable partners who share our commitment to ethical practice. By working closely with suppliers, we aim to reduce hidden labour risks across the Queenspark landscaping supply chain and strengthen transparency in day-to-day operations.

Reporting Channels and Accountability

We encourage all employees, workers, and business partners to report any suspected signs of modern slavery, including intimidation, restricted movement, withheld wages, identity document retention, or unsafe living conditions. Reports may be raised through line management, senior leadership, or internal compliance procedures. Concerns will be treated confidentially and investigated promptly.

Our reporting channels are designed to support a culture of openness and protection. Individuals who raise concerns in good faith will not suffer retaliation. Where appropriate, we will work with suppliers to safeguard affected workers and to ensure that any evidence of exploitation is escalated to the relevant authorities. Accountability is central to our modern slavery statement and forms part of our broader governance framework.

We also communicate our expectations through induction, contractor briefings, and procurement processes. These measures help ensure that the values of Landscaping Queenspark are understood consistently across our workforce and supply chain.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

Our commitment to preventing modern slavery is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with legal requirements and best practice. The review considers audit findings, incident reports, supplier performance, training participation, and any emerging risk factors affecting the landscaping industry.

Following each review, we update our policies, risk assessments, and controls where necessary. This may include expanding supplier checks, strengthening audit criteria, improving training content, or refining reporting procedures. We view continual improvement as essential to maintaining a responsible Queenspark landscaping services model that protects vulnerable people and supports ethical trade.

Landscaping Queenspark remains steadfast in its zero-tolerance policy and is dedicated to preventing exploitation in every part of our business. Through supplier audits, clear reporting channels, and annual review, we aim to uphold the highest standards of integrity and ensure that our operations contribute positively to people and communities.
