Modern Slavery Statement for Landscapers Temple

Landscapers Temple is committed to conducting business ethically and responsibly, and we maintain a clear zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, servitude, child labour, and any form of exploitation. This statement reflects our ongoing commitment to protect workers, strengthen oversight, and support fair and lawful working conditions across our operations and supply chain. We recognise that the landscaping industry can involve multiple layers of labour and materials sourcing, which makes vigilance essential.

As a responsible landscaping business, Landscapers Temple expects all employees, contractors, and business partners to uphold the highest standards of conduct. We do not accept practices that undermine human rights, and we actively seek to identify and reduce risks within procurement, subcontracting, and service delivery. Our approach is built on prevention, detection, and accountability.

We also require anyone acting on behalf of Landscapers Temple to comply with applicable labour laws and to treat workers with dignity and respect. If any breach is identified, we will take prompt action, which may include corrective measures, suspension of business, or termination of relationships where necessary.

Our Supply Chain and Risk Management

Landscapers Temple sources materials, equipment, and services from a range of suppliers, including nurseries, nurseries’ distributors, maintenance providers, and specialist contractors. We understand that risks may arise in low-skilled labour, seasonal work, and outsourced services, particularly where labour is supplied through third parties. For this reason, our due diligence process is designed to assess and monitor suppliers before and during engagement.

We conduct supplier audits based on risk level, supplier location, and the nature of work involved. These audits may include document checks, reviews of labour practices, worker welfare assessments, and confirmation of lawful employment status. Where concerns arise, we request remediation plans and follow up to confirm improvements. Suppliers are expected to maintain accurate records and cooperate fully with our review processes.

Landscapers Temple reserves the right to re-evaluate supplier arrangements if audit findings indicate unacceptable risk. We prefer to work with partners who demonstrate transparency, ethical recruitment practices, and compliance with labour standards. This helps us strengthen our own internal controls while promoting responsible practices throughout the supply chain.

Training, Awareness, and Reporting Channels

We provide relevant staff with information to help them recognise signs of exploitation, such as restricted movement, withheld wages, intimidation, unsafe accommodation, or excessive working hours. Managers and procurement personnel are expected to remain alert to warning signs and to escalate concerns quickly. Awareness is a key part of maintaining effective oversight.

Employees and workers are encouraged to report suspected modern slavery concerns through our internal reporting channels. Reports may be made confidentially, and concerns are handled seriously, sensitively, and without retaliation. Landscapers Temple is committed to protecting anyone who raises a concern in good faith. We will investigate matters promptly and take appropriate action based on the findings.

Where a credible allegation is received, we may work with affected parties to secure immediate safety and support, while also reviewing the wider circumstances that allowed the issue to occur. Our reporting framework is intended to give workers and staff a safe route to speak up and ensure issues are not ignored.

Review, Governance, and Continuous Improvement

This statement is overseen by management and forms part of our broader commitment to ethical business conduct. We review our policies, supplier controls, and risk indicators regularly to ensure they remain effective and proportionate. Any gaps identified during reviews are addressed through updated procedures, additional training, or enhanced supplier monitoring.

At least once every year, Landscapers Temple carries out an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and the supporting controls behind it. The annual review considers changes in legislation, supply chain risk, audit outcomes, and any incidents or concerns raised during the period. This process helps us measure progress and identify new actions for the year ahead.

Through continuous improvement, Landscapers Temple aims to maintain a resilient and responsible business model. We will continue to strengthen our safeguards, reinforce our zero-tolerance stance, and promote ethical standards in all areas of our operations.
