Gardener Tufnell Park Modern Slavery Statement

Gardener Tufnell Park affirms a clear and unequivocal commitment to preventing all forms of modern slavery across our operations and supply chain. This modern slavery statement sets out our zero-tolerance approach, the measures we implement to reduce risk, and the commitments we make to victims and workers. We will not tolerate forced labour, human trafficking, or any form of exploitation, and we require the same standard from our suppliers and partners.

We publish this anti-slavery declaration to describe how our modern slavery policy is embedded into business practice. The scope of this Modern Slavery Statement covers directly employed staff, contractors, temporary workers and suppliers engaged by Gardener Tufnell Park. Our expectations are clear: every individual and business that works with us must comply with applicable laws and adhere to our ethical sourcing standards. This declaration is part of our broader commitment to ethical business conduct and corporate responsibility.

nn

To give effect to this modern slavery policy we perform risk assessments and integrate due diligence into procurement. We require suppliers to confirm their compliance through contracts and declarations, and we assess risk factors including geography, industry sector, labour intensity, and recruitment practices. Our supplier code demands transparency in labour sourcing, lawful wages, lawful hours, and safe working conditions. We also emphasise prevention: training for procurement teams and managers helps detect red flags early and reduces vulnerability to exploitation.

Zero-tolerance policy and enforcement

Gardener Tufnell Park operates a strict zero-tolerance policy on modern slavery. Any instance of forced labour, bonded labour, debt bondage, or human trafficking is grounds for immediate remedial action, which may include termination of contracts and referral to authorities where appropriate. Zero tolerance means we act swiftly: suspected incidents trigger an internal response, an investigation, and, where necessary, collaboration with law enforcement and support agencies to protect victims.

nn

We conduct regular supplier audits and targeted assessments as part of our supplier assurance programme. These supplier audits include document reviews, on-site inspections where possible, and worker interviews designed to verify working conditions and employment terms. Our audit frequency is risk-based: higher-risk suppliers are audited more frequently, and we maintain records of findings and corrective action plans. The objective of audits is not only detection but also continuous improvement and capacity building for suppliers to meet our anti-slavery standards.

nn

Suppliers are expected to implement corrective measures and report progress. Our procurement teams use contractual clauses to enforce compliance, and non-compliance can lead to suspension or termination of business relationships. We also promote collaboration: we work with suppliers to remediate issues and support reasonable timelines for corrective action, while maintaining our commitment to protect worker rights and safety.

Reporting channels and whistleblowing

Gardener Tufnell Park provides accessible reporting channels so concerns about modern slavery can be raised securely and without fear. We encourage internal reports via established internal escalation routes and maintain an option for anonymous reporting for those who require it. Reports are treated confidentially and investigated promptly by designated teams. There will be no retaliation for good-faith reporting, and we promote a culture in which raising concerns is supported and respected.

nn

Investigations follow a consistent procedure: assess the claim, protect any potential victims, gather evidence, and determine corrective or legal action. Where abuse is identified, we aim for remediation that prioritises the welfare of affected workers, including safe work transitions, repayment of unlawful deductions, and provision of support services where needed. We also provide targeted training for staff and suppliers on recognising indicators of exploitation and how to escalate concerns.

nn

Annual review and continuous improvement are central to this anti-slavery statement. Each year we evaluate the effectiveness of our modern slavery measures, review audit outcomes, update risk assessments, and refine supplier engagement strategies. The review informs updates to policies, training materials and procurement practices. By publishing a clear modern slavery statement and maintaining transparent oversight, Gardener Tufnell Park demonstrates an ongoing dedication to eradicating exploitation and promoting ethical labour practices throughout our operations and supply chain.
