Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

We conduct risk-based supplier audits that combine documentation review, on-site inspections and worker interviews. Suppliers are evaluated against a set of criteria including working hours, pay, recruitment practices and freedom of movement. Suppliers failing to meet our standards will be subject to remediation plans or removal from our approved list.

Audits are prioritised for suppliers associated with seasonal labour or subcontracted landscape works. Where we identify potential non-compliance, Garden care Osterley teams collaborate with suppliers to implement corrective actions and monitor sustained improvement. Our procurement team documents findings and integrates them into supplier performance metrics.

We maintain a continuous improvement process to strengthen our Osterley garden maintenance supply chain. Our measures include supplier training, mandatory contractual assurances and regular re-assessment of higher-risk partners. To support practical implementation, we use the following reporting and compliance measures:

• Annual and surprise supplier audits focused on labour conditions and recruitment practices.
• Mandatory written declarations from suppliers about their labour and subcontracting arrangements.
• Integrating modern slavery risk into supplier onboarding and ongoing review cycles.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing
