Modern Slavery Statement — Hedge Trimming Camden

Hedge Trimming Camden is committed to ensuring that modern slavery and human trafficking do not occur in any part of our business or supply chains. This modern slavery statement sets out our zero-tolerance approach, our supplier due diligence, and the mechanisms we use to identify, prevent and address contemporary forms of slavery in our operations. As a local provider of hedge trimming in Camden and surrounding areas, we recognise our responsibility to maintain high ethical standards in recruitment, employment and procurement.

We operate robust policies and contractual terms for contractors and Camden hedge trimming partners. These policies require compliance with applicable labour and employment laws and prohibit forced labour, bonded labour, child labour, and exploitative working conditions. Our code of conduct is communicated to all employees and subcontractors and is embedded into our procurement agreements to ensure that everyone delivering hedge maintenance in Camden understands expectations and consequences for breaches.

We adopt a zero-tolerance policy for any form of slavery or exploitation. If any supplier, contractor or employee is found to be complicit in modern slavery, immediate remedial action will be taken, including termination of contracts and referral to appropriate authorities where necessary. Our zero-tolerance stance is reinforced through mandatory training for managers and staff who oversee frontline hedge trimmers and landscaping teams, ensuring vigilance across our service delivery for Camden hedge trimming services.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

We conduct risk-based supplier audits and pre-engagement checks to assess labour practices and working conditions across our supply chain. Audits include documentation checks, site visits and interviews where feasible. Our due diligence process assesses factors such as recruitment practices, wage compliance, working hours and accommodation arrangements provided by suppliers to their workers. We require suppliers to sign our Supplier Code of Conduct which explicitly prohibits slavery and human trafficking.

To support supplier audits we maintain a clear escalation and remediation process. Key elements include:

• Annual risk assessments for suppliers and subcontractors
• Periodic on-site inspections and spot checks
• Corrective action plans with deadlines and follow-up audits
• Contract termination clauses for persistent non-compliance

These measures are designed to protect workers across the value chain for anyone providing hedge trimmers Camden services and to improve standards through constructive engagement.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We provide multiple confidential reporting channels for employees, temporary staff and third parties to raise concerns about suspected modern slavery. Reports can be made anonymously through internal whistleblowing procedures, and the organisation will investigate all credible allegations promptly. We ensure protection against retaliation and provide support to potential victims, including referral to specialist services where appropriate. Staff are trained to recognise signs of exploitation in the context of local hedge trimming Camden operations and encouraged to report any concerns without delay.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

We will review this statement and our policies at least once every 12 months to reflect changes in our business, emerging risks and audit findings. Our annual review process includes a summary of audit outcomes, corrective actions taken, training records and any incidents discovered along with steps taken to remedy them. Findings from supplier audits and internal investigations inform our risk assessments and the refinement of our compliance programmes for Hedge Trimming Camden and related services.

The Board and senior management are responsible for oversight of this modern slavery statement and for ensuring that sufficient resources are allocated to implement and maintain our anti-slavery measures. We will continue to work with industry partners, supply chain actors and local stakeholders to strengthen protections for workers in the landscaping and hedge maintenance sector. Camden hedge maintenance will remain a priority area for transparency and accountability as our activities evolve.

By committing to rigorous supplier audits, clear reporting channels, a strict zero-tolerance policy and an annual review cycle, Hedge Trimming Camden aims to prevent modern slavery, protect vulnerable workers and promote ethical practices throughout our operations and supply chain. We will publish updates on progress and maintain open channels for raising concerns, ensuring continuous vigilance against exploitation in all our services.
