Super Gardener Modern Slavery Statement

Super Gardener issues this Modern Slavery Statement to affirm our commitment to preventing all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour in our operations and supply chains. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward exploitation, and we require every partner and supplier to comply with the highest ethical standards. This declaration outlines our policies, due diligence, and the actions we take to reduce the risk of slavery and trafficking.

We believe that transparency and vigilance are essential. Our anti-slavery approach covers recruitment, procurement and supplier management, and includes regular risk assessments across geographies and commodities we source. The Modern Slavery and human trafficking risks relevant to our horticulture, landscaping and distribution activities are continually monitored and addressed through contractual safeguards and supplier engagement.

As part of our commitment, Super Gardener operates a comprehensive supplier assurance program that channels our expectation of ethical conduct to every tier of supply. We require suppliers to accept our Supplier Code of Conduct and perform internal checks on working conditions, and we reserve the right to terminate relationships where breaches are confirmed.

Zero-Tolerance Policy and Preventative Measures

Our zero-tolerance policy is enforced across all business units. Employees are trained to identify indicators of forced labour and exploitation, and managers are responsible for ensuring compliance in procurement and field operations. We use risk-based screening to focus resources where vulnerabilities are greatest and deploy corrective action plans for any non-conformances discovered.

We operate supplier audits — both announced and unannounced — that examine payroll records, worker contracts, recruitment fees, working hours and accommodation conditions where applicable. These audits are conducted by trained auditors or third-party specialists and form a core part of our supplier due diligence process. Findings are tracked, and remedial measures are monitored until compliance is achieved.

Key controls and activities include:

• Pre-engagement supplier screening and risk classification;
• Contractual clauses prohibiting forced labour, child labour and human trafficking;
• Regular supplier audits and corrective action plans;
• Worker interview protocols to verify ethical treatment;
• Training programs for procurement and field teams.

Reporting Channels, Remediation and Annual Review

Super Gardener provides multiple reporting channels to raise concerns about slavery and trafficking. Staff, suppliers and third parties are encouraged to report suspicious activity through our internal reporting mechanisms and whistleblowing procedures. Reports are taken seriously, investigated promptly and handled with confidentiality and protection for reporters where appropriate.

When incidents are identified, we apply a structured remediation process that prioritises the welfare and protection of affected individuals. Remediation may include immediate cessation of unsafe practices, facilitation of access to support services, and contractual or commercial remedies against the parties responsible. We do not penalise victims for unlawful acts committed as a direct consequence of being subjected to modern slavery.

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to assess the effectiveness of our policies and to integrate lessons learned from investigations, audits and stakeholder feedback. Our Board reviews and approves the statement, ensuring that our governance, resourcing and continuous improvement plans remain robust. Super Gardener remains committed to strengthening our actions to prevent modern slavery in every form and to working collaboratively with suppliers, industry peers and relevant experts to promote ethical labour standards.
