Lawn Mowing Sanderstead Modern Slavery Statement
Lawn Mowing Sanderstead confirms its unequivocal commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking throughout our operations and supply chain. This statement sets out a zero-tolerance policy against forced labour, exploitation and any forms of modern slavery and demonstrates how lawn mowing Sanderstead integrates human rights due diligence into everyday business practices.
Our Policy and Scope
Our policy applies across all activities, including subcontracted landscape services and seasonal labour. We have a zero-tolerance approach: any evidence of exploitation will result in immediate action, including termination of relationships with suppliers and contractors. The statement covers Lawn Mowing in Sanderstead and affiliated operational sites and is reviewed by senior management regularly. We require all staff to understand that no tolerance extends to recruitment practices, working hours and remuneration.
Key Commitments
We commit to:- Prevent exploitation through risk-based controls;
- Detect indicators of abuse through audits and worker engagement;
- Respond with remediation and supplier sanctions as required.
We conduct a robust risk assessment tailored to the nature of lawn-mowing Sanderstead activities. This includes mapping high-risk functions such as temporary labour, subcontracted mowing teams, and seasonal suppliers. Supplier due diligence is mandatory before onboarding and includes checks on employment practices, identity verification and living wage compliance. We use contractual clauses to require suppliers to comply with our anti-slavery standards and to allow independent audits where necessary.
Supplier audits form a core part of our compliance programme. Audits are scheduled based on risk rating and include documentary review, site visits and confidential worker interviews. Where issues are identified, corrective action plans are agreed with clear deadlines; non-compliant suppliers face escalation up to contract termination. We prioritise continuous improvement and offer training and guidance to help suppliers meet expectations.
We maintain multiple reporting channels to enable secure and confidential disclosures. Employees, contractors and third parties can report concerns through internal reporting lines, anonymous whistleblowing mechanisms and designated ethics representatives. All reports are treated seriously: allegations are investigated promptly and proportionately, with protections for whistleblowers. Our approach ensures that those who raise concerns are supported and that any credible evidence of modern slavery is escalated to senior governance.
Remediation and worker-centred responses are essential. Where exploitation is found, Lawn-Mowing Sanderstead commits to immediate steps to protect victims, including safe alternatives to abusive employment, support measures and liaison with appropriate external agencies when needed. We will document remediation outcomes and use lessons learned to strengthen preventative measures across the Sanderstead lawn mowing network.
Governance, training and continuous monitoring underpin our approach. Management is responsible for implementing this statement and embedding anti-slavery controls into procurement, HR and contracting procedures. Training is provided to managers and frontline staff to spot indicators of forced labour and to act in accordance with our zero-tolerance policy. Performance metrics, supplier audit results and incident reports are reviewed by senior leadership to ensure accountability.
Annual Review and Transparency — This modern slavery statement is subject to an annual review to measure effectiveness and to update policies, risk assessments and controls as necessary. The review considers changes in operations, new suppliers and emerging risks related to lawn mowing and landscaping services. We will report on progress, audit outcomes and corrective actions taken. By continuously improving our systems, Lawn Mowing Sanderstead aims to reduce the risk of modern slavery and ensure ethical labour standards across our operations and supply chain.
