Modern Slavery Statement — Lawn Mowing Mitcham Commitment

Lawn Mowing Mitcham has a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour. This statement sets out our ongoing commitment to prevent any form of exploitation within our business operations and supply chains. Our pledge applies across all Lawn Mowing in Mitcham operations, contractors and suppliers engaged to support our landscaping and garden maintenance services.

We believe every person deserves fair and safe working conditions. Our zero-tolerance approach is embedded in company policies, procurement practices and staff training. All employees and subcontractors are required to adhere to our code of conduct, and breaches are treated as serious misconduct leading to disciplinary action or contract termination.

Our policy scope covers direct hires, temporary labour, contractors and third-party suppliers used in Mitcham lawn mowing services and related activities. We expect suppliers to comply with applicable laws and our standards, and we build compliance requirements into contracts, purchase orders and service agreements.

Supplier Audits, Due Diligence and Risk Assessment

We conduct proportionate due diligence and supplier audits to identify and mitigate modern slavery risk. Our supplier review process includes verification of employment practices, documentation checks and, where relevant, on-site assessments. Key elements include:

• Pre-engagement screening: identity, right to work checks and verification of business legitimacy for new suppliers.
• Ongoing audits: scheduled and random audits of high-risk suppliers supporting our Lawn mowing Mitcham operations.
• Corrective action plans: defined time-bound remediation where non-compliance is found.

Our supplier audit programme is risk-based. We prioritise suppliers in categories historically associated with higher vulnerability — for example, seasonal labour providers, subcontracted landscapers and supply chains involving high turnover or migrant labour. Results of audits inform supplier scorecards, and poor performers are escalated for improvement or removal.

We use contractual clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery laws and the right to audit. Where necessary, clauses mandate immediate remediation steps and allow termination for persistent breaches. These measures are applied across the Mitcham lawn mowing supply network and subcontractor arrangements.

Reporting Channels, Training and Annual Review

We maintain multiple reporting channels for concerns about modern slavery, including anonymous reporting options. Staff and third parties can report suspected exploitation without fear of retaliation. Reports are handled promptly, confidentially and with appropriate escalation. Our reporting protocol includes:

• Anonymous reporting: mechanisms enabling confidential disclosures.
• Escalation pathways: internal investigation teams and referral to authorities where required.
• Support for victims: immediate safety measures and referral to specialist assistance, independent of any employment outcome.

We deliver regular training for staff and management that covers how to spot signs of exploitation, responsibilities under our policy and how to use reporting channels. Training is refreshed annually and tailored for employees most likely to encounter risk — such as supervisors, procurement staff and site leads involved in Mitcham lawn care and landscape operations.

Lawn Mowing - Mitcham commits to an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and associated actions. The review assesses policy effectiveness, audit outcomes, corrective actions taken and any new risks identified in our operations or supply chain. Findings lead to improvements in controls, supplier engagement and training. We will continue to strengthen our approach and remain transparent about progress, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to eradicate modern slavery from our services and partnerships.
