Modern Slavery Statement for Lucy Lucid Gardening

Lucy Lucid Gardening publishes this Modern Slavery Statement to make a clear, public commitment against modern slavery and unfair labour practices across our operations and supply chains. Our declaration is founded on a zero-tolerance policy toward forced labour, child labour, human trafficking and any form of exploitation. We recognise that preventing modern slavery requires continuous vigilance, transparent processes and active collaboration with suppliers, contractors and colleagues.

Policy Commitment and Zero Tolerance

We operate a strict, company-wide zero-tolerance approach to slavery and human trafficking. All staff and partners are required to comply with our anti-slavery and human trafficking commitments, which are embedded into employment policies, codes of conduct and contractual clauses. The leadership team at Lucy Lucid Gardening has approved this statement and is accountable for ensuring its implementation across the business.

Scope, Responsibilities and Reporting Channels

This statement covers all business activities and material suppliers. Responsibility for oversight lies with senior management and a designated compliance lead. We maintain clear internal reporting channels so any suspected incidents of forced labour or other abuses can be raised immediately. Reporting mechanisms include an internal channel and confidential escalation routes so workers and third parties can report concerns without fear of retaliation.

To strengthen due diligence we apply targeted supplier audits and risk-based assessments. Our supplier engagement includes pre-qualification checks, contract clauses prohibiting forced labour and ongoing reviews. Where risks are identified, we implement corrective action plans and monitor progress until compliance is restored. These supplier audits are an essential tool in detecting indicators of modern slavery and protecting vulnerable workers.

Supplier audits focus on areas with heightened risk including seasonal labour, subcontracting and material sourcing. Audit activities include documentation reviews, site visits where practicable, worker interviews and verification of payroll and working conditions. We prioritise transparent remediation and, where necessary, will terminate relationships with suppliers that fail to address confirmed breaches of our anti-slavery standards.

Our procurement contracts contain explicit anti-slavery clauses and require suppliers to cascade equivalent obligations to their own subcontractors. We also make use of third-party assessments and industry benchmark tools to validate supplier performance and to measure exposure to forced labour and exploitative practices.

Lucy Lucid Gardening provides regular training and awareness programs for employees and procurement teams so they can recognise signs of exploitation and understand reporting obligations. We commit resources to building capacity internally and within our supplier network to combat forced labour and human trafficking through education and clear expectations.

Monitoring and record-keeping form a central part of our compliance framework. We maintain detailed records of due diligence, audit findings, corrective actions and outcomes. Performance indicators include audit coverage, number of reports received, resolution timelines and supplier compliance rates. These metrics inform our continuous improvement and risk mitigation strategies.

Annual review: Our policy, risk assessments and the efficacy of supplier audits and reporting channels are reviewed at least once every 12 months. As part of the annual review, senior management evaluates progress against objectives, updates mitigation plans and ensures that the anti-slavery policy and procedures remain robust and appropriate for the evolving risk environment. The review process includes consideration of feedback from stakeholders and lessons learned from any incidents or near misses.

We encourage anyone with concerns to use the protected reporting routes. Our approach protects whistleblowers from reprisal and supports victims through remedial actions where exploitation is identified. Key elements of our reporting framework include:

• Confidential reporting channels that permit anonymous disclosures where necessary
• Investigation procedures that are prompt, fair and documented
• Support and remediation for affected individuals, including where feasible, safe transition measures

Lucy Lucid Gardening remains resolute in its commitment to eliminate modern slavery from its business and value chain. We will continue to refine our processes, enhance supplier audits, strengthen reporting channels and conduct rigorous annual reviews to ensure compliance with our standards and with applicable laws. This statement is a declaration of intent to pursue continuous improvement and to work with others to end forced labour and exploitation.
