Modern Slavery Statement — Lawn Mowing Seven Kings
This statement sets out the commitment of Lawn Mowing Seven Kings and affiliated services (including Seven Kings lawn mowing and seven-kings lawncare operations) to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our business and supply chains. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, exploitation or servitude, and require all employees, contractors and suppliers to adhere to this standard.Our Policy and Expectations
We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity. Our zero tolerance approach means we will not knowingly engage with suppliers who exploit workers. This policy applies to every part of our local lawn care services and the broader lawn-mowing Seven Kings community of contractors, subcontractors and suppliers.
Scope and Responsibility
Responsibility for implementing this policy lies with senior management and the operations team responsible for service delivery and procurement. Employees receive training to recognise signs of exploitation and understand their obligations to report concerns. We will take immediate action if modern slavery risks are identified, including contract termination where appropriate.We have implemented targeted supplier due diligence and supplier audits to ensure compliance. Our procurement process includes screening for labour risks, background checks, and periodic on-site assessments. Audits focus on recruitment practices, working conditions, wage compliance, and documentation that verifies the legal right to work.
Audit frequency is risk-based: higher-risk suppliers and labour providers undergo more frequent and thorough inspections. Findings from audits inform corrective action plans with clear timelines. Persistent or severe breaches result in the suspension or termination of supplier agreements to protect workers and our reputation.
We also collaborate with subcontractors and partners to promote best practice in the lawn care sector. Training and resources are provided to support improvements in labour standards, encouraging a culture where dignity at work is respected across the Seven Kings lawncare network.
To support transparency, we maintain multiple reporting channels for employees, contractors and third parties to raise concerns. These include anonymous reporting mechanisms and a whistleblower process that protects reporters from retaliation. All reports are logged, assessed and investigated by a designated compliance officer.
Reports are treated confidentially and acted upon promptly. Investigations may involve interviews, document reviews and collaboration with external experts where necessary. We are committed to remediating harm to affected workers, which may include restitution, reinstatement or other remedial measures.
Key preventative measures include:
- Supplier audits and on-site checks to verify labour practices
- Contract clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery laws
- Mandatory training for staff on recognising modern slavery
- Monitoring of recruitment and payroll practices
Annual Review and Continuous Improvement
We undertake an annual review of our policies, due diligence processes and audit outcomes to ensure effectiveness. The review includes analysis of incidents, audit findings, and stakeholder feedback (excluding testimonials). Results of the annual assessment drive improvements in risk assessment, training, and supplier engagement across our lawncare and lawn mowing Seven Kings activities.Our board and senior management receive a formal report on progress and risk mitigation actions. Where gaps are identified, we set measurable targets and timelines for remediation. We remain committed to continuous improvement and transparent governance to prevent modern slavery in all parts of our operations.
