We operate a zero-tolerance stance on modern slavery; any allegation is taken seriously and investigated promptly. Our policy requires immediate action when evidence of exploitation arises. The policy extends to all workers, temporary staff and subcontractors engaged by Mowing-London and affiliated suppliers. Those found to be complicit in modern slavery practices will face termination of contracts and referral to appropriate authorities.

Supplier due diligence and supplier audits

We perform robust supplier due diligence before onboarding and maintain periodic supplier audits of our supply chain. These audits assess recruitment practices, working conditions, wage compliance and right-to-work checks. Suppliers are required to complete a compliance questionnaire, provide evidence of employment records and permit on-site inspections where applicable. Our procurement team uses risk-based criteria to prioritise audits with higher-risk suppliers.

As part of our supplier management for MowingLondon operations, we maintain contractual clauses that prohibit modern slavery and require immediate notification if issues are identified. We provide training sessions to key suppliers to help them recognise and mitigate exploitation risks and encourage them to adopt equivalent anti-slavery standards. This collaborative approach helps build resilience across the landscaping and mowing services supply chain.

Key elements of our supplier audit and management programme include:

  • Pre-contract checks and verification of identity documents;
  • On-site inspections and documented audit findings;
  • Corrective action plans with timelines for non-compliance;
  • Termination clauses for severe or unresolved breaches.

Reporting channels and employee support

We maintain confidential reporting channels for concerns about modern slavery, available to employees, contractors and third parties. Reports can be raised internally through our anonymous hotline or via line managers, and are handled by a designated compliance officer. All reports are treated confidentially, and we protect whistleblowers from retaliation. The Mow London workforce is regularly reminded of reporting protocols and reassured that raising a concern will prompt a thorough and fair investigation.
