Modern Slavery Statement — Lawn Mowing Battersea

Lawn Mowing Battersea is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking within our business and supply chains. This statement sets out our approach to a zero-tolerance policy toward forced labour, servitude and any form of exploitation. We recognise our responsibility as a local provider of lawn care in Battersea and as an employer to ensure every person engaged with our Battersea lawn mowing services is treated with dignity and fairness.

Our senior leadership team has endorsed this policy and ensures it is embedded across operations. We operate with transparency and integrity, ensuring the ethics of lawn mowing in Battersea are reflected in recruitment, contracting and day-to-day management. All staff and contractors are expected to comply with the standards set out in this statement and to report concerns without fear of retaliation.

We maintain a clear and enforced code of conduct for suppliers and subcontractors who provide materials, equipment maintenance or labour to our Battersea grass cutting services. Our procurement decisions consider not only price and quality but also human rights risks, committing to exclude any supplier found to be complicit in modern slavery or exploitative labour practices.

Supplier due diligence is central to our approach. We carry out targeted supplier audits and risk assessments for high-risk categories, including labour hire and outsourced maintenance. Those audits include document checks, interviews and site visits where appropriate. Failure to meet our standards may result in contract termination and a ban from future work with our lawn mowing services in Battersea.

To ensure compliance, we require suppliers to:

• Demonstrate transparent labour practices and legal employment contracts
• Provide evidence of right-to-work checks and lawful wage payments
• Cooperate with on-site inspections and respond to audit findings

We also provide training for our staff on how to spot signs of modern slavery and what action to take. This training is part of our induction and refreshed annually for frontline crews and supervisors who deliver Battersea lawn mowing and maintenance services.

Reporting channels are clearly defined to make raising concerns straightforward. Employees and contractors can use internal reporting pathways to their line managers or HR, and we operate an anonymous reporting mechanism for workers who require confidentiality. There is no tolerance for retaliation against anyone who raises a genuine concern.

Additionally, we maintain a documented procedure for investigating allegations. Investigations are prompt, impartial and documented; where wrongdoing is identified we take proportionate disciplinary action and collaborate with relevant authorities to protect affected individuals. Our approach to reporting and investigation supports victims, including access to appropriate support and remediation.

Monitoring and Continuous Improvement

We continually review our policies and practices to strengthen protections against modern slavery. This includes updating supplier assessment criteria, improving training content and refining audit processes to address emerging risks in the lawn mowing industry across Battersea.

Annual Review

Each year we conduct a formal review of this statement and our operational controls. The annual review evaluates the effectiveness of our zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, reporting channels and remedial actions. Findings are reported to senior management and used to shape the following year’s action plan, ensuring continuous improvement in our Battersea lawn care operations.

We remain fully committed to preventing modern slavery in any form. We will not tolerate forced labour or human trafficking within our workforce or through those who supply us. This statement will be published and reviewed annually to reflect progress and to ensure our Battersea lawn mowing services uphold the highest standards of human rights and ethical business conduct.

Approved and endorsed by the leadership of Lawn Mowing Battersea.
