Lawn Mowing Honor Oak Modern Slavery Statement

At Lawn Mowing Honor Oak we declare a clear and unequivocal commitment to eradicating modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms from our operations and supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement applies to Lawnmowing Honor Oak teams, contractors and the network of suppliers who support our lawn care services. We recognise that all organisations providing lawn care in Honor Oak have a responsibility to take meaningful action, and we commit time, resource and governance to meet that responsibility.

Zero-Tolerance Policy

Our policy is zero-tolerance towards forced labour, bonded labour, human trafficking, and any form of exploitation. All employees, subcontractors and suppliers are required to comply with this policy as a condition of engagement. We include contractual clauses that prohibit modern slavery and require immediate remediation if issues arise. We will terminate contracts where suppliers are unwilling to remedy verified breaches. Lawn Mowing in Honor Oak will not tolerate any practices that undermine worker rights, and we will take decisive action including suspension, remediation, and termination where necessary.

Supplier due diligence and supplier audits form a core part of our prevention strategy. We undertake risk-based assessments of suppliers delivering lawn maintenance Honor Oak services and materials, prioritising those in higher-risk sectors. Our audit programme includes documentary review, site visits, and interviews, and is designed to detect indicators of modern slavery. Key elements include:

• Pre-engagement screening: checks of statutory documentation, worker records and compliance history;
• On-site audits: verification of working conditions, hours, wages and recruitment practices;
• Corrective action plans: formalised requirements for remediation with clear timelines and verification steps.

We will continue to broaden the scope of audits across our supply chain for Honor Oak lawncare so that risks are identified early and managed proactively.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We maintain multiple confidential reporting channels for employees, contractors and workers in our supply chain to raise concerns. Reports can be made anonymously and are treated with strict confidentiality. We encourage anyone who suspects modern slavery in our operations or amongst our lawn service suppliers to report immediately. All reports are logged, risk-assessed and investigated by our appointed compliance lead, with outcomes recorded and actions tracked until closure.

Our reporting framework emphasises protection for whistleblowers and prohibits any retaliation. Training ensures staff understand how to use reporting channels, why confidentiality matters, and what protections are available for those raising concerns about lawn mowing Honor Oak operations or partners.

Training, awareness and supplier engagement are critical to preventing modern slavery. We provide regular training to employees and management on recognising signs of exploitation, ethical recruitment, and escalation procedures. Suppliers are required to attend onboarding sessions and periodic refresher briefings that outline compliance expectations for Honor Oak lawn mowing activities. We use contractual commitments, supplier scorecards and joint improvement plans to drive continuous improvement.

Our procurement team integrates social compliance considerations into tender evaluation for all lawn care in Honor Oak contracts, balancing operational needs with ethical obligations. We also support practical initiatives that reduce risk, such as verification of recruitment agencies and promoting direct employment over third-party labour where feasible.

Monitoring, remediation and record-keeping form part of how we demonstrate accountability. We maintain detailed records of audits, investigations, corrective actions and supplier performance metrics to provide an auditable trail and evidence of continuous improvement in our anti-slavery efforts.

Annual Review and Governance: The Board and senior management review this statement and our anti-slavery programme at least once every year. The annual review assesses policy effectiveness, audit findings, incident responses, training outcomes, and supplier performance across the Honor Oak lawncare network. Where gaps are identified, we commit to targeted actions and resource allocation to close them.

Conclusion: Lawn Mowing Honor Oak remains resolute in its commitment to preventing modern slavery across our operations and supply chain. We will continue to develop our supplier audits, strengthen reporting channels, and carry out annual reviews to ensure transparency and continual improvement. This statement is approved by senior leadership and will be published and reviewed on an annual basis to reflect evolving risks and improvements to our practices.
