Modern Slavery Statement — Lawn Mowing Hoxton

Lawn Mowing Hoxton is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations and supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our approach, the standards we require from anyone who supplies goods or services to us, and the steps we take to make sure the work we undertake across Hoxton and surrounding areas is free from exploitation. We operate a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of forced labour, child labour, servitude or human trafficking.

Our commitment as a local provider of Hoxton lawn mowing and broader lawncare services is grounded in core values of fairness, transparency and accountability. We expect all employees, contractors and partners to uphold these principles. Where breach or suspicion of modern slavery is identified, we will act immediately to protect individuals and remediate the situation, including termination of relationships where appropriate.

As part of our enforcement and prevention framework, Lawncare Hoxton maintains formal policies that require background checks, clear employment contracts and verification of the right to work for all personnel engaged directly or indirectly. We require that suppliers and subcontractors provide evidence of ethical employment practices and commit to our standards through contractual clauses and periodic attestations.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We operate a structured supplier audit programme tailored to the scale of relationships. For suppliers to Lawn Mowing Hoxton we conduct risk-based assessments that include:

• Documentary reviews of employment records and contracts;
• On-site or remote audits where necessary;
• Follow-up action plans and verification of corrective steps.

Suppliers identified as higher risk — for example, those supplying labour-intensive services or from jurisdictions with known exploitation risks — are subject to enhanced monitoring and more frequent reviews. We also require new suppliers to complete a modern slavery questionnaire prior to onboarding and to participate in annual compliance checks.

Our procurement team is trained to spot indicators of exploitation, and procurement decisions factor in ethical performance alongside cost and quality. Where non-compliance is detected, we pursue a proportionate response including remediation, contractual penalties, or disengagement if satisfactory improvement is not achieved.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Lawn Mowing Hoxton provides multiple secure and confidential reporting channels for employees, contractors and third parties to raise concerns about potential modern slavery. Anyone who suspects wrongdoing is encouraged to report through the internal reporting lines, and reports will be treated seriously and investigated promptly and impartially.

Reports are handled by appointed compliance officers trained to respond sensitively to disclosures and to protect those who report in good faith from retaliation. Investigations seek to preserve the dignity and safety of potentially affected individuals and to ensure appropriate legal and support services are engaged when required.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement: We review this Modern Slavery Statement and our associated policies and procedures at least once a year. The annual review assesses the effectiveness of our controls, audit outcomes, reported incidents and corrective actions. Findings from the review inform training updates, policy refinements and improvements to supplier due diligence. This ensures our approach to tackling modern slavery remains robust and responsive to emerging risks in the lawn services sector.

By maintaining a proactive stance—through a zero-tolerance position, structured supplier audits, accessible reporting channels and a formal annual review—Lawn Mowing Hoxton and its teams strive to eliminate modern slavery from our operations and supply chains. We will continue to collaborate with partners, contractors and the wider community to uphold ethical labour practices and protect vulnerable workers across Hoxton and beyond.
