Modern Slavery Statement — Garden Clearance Feltham

Garden Clearance Feltham is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations. This statement sets out our position, explains the steps we take to reduce risk, and describes how we enforce our zero-tolerance policy toward any form of forced labour, coercion or exploitation. We recognise our responsibility as a local provider of garden clearance and waste removal services to maintain high standards of ethics and human rights throughout our activities and supply chains.

Our commitment begins with clear expectations: all colleagues, partners and contractors engaged in garden clearance in Feltham must comply with applicable laws and with our policies that prohibit modern slavery. We operate a zero-tolerance approach and require that workers are treated fairly, paid legally, and able to refuse unsafe work without penalty. This is embedded into contracts and procurement documentation, and forms an essential part of our procurement decisions.

We carry out targeted supplier audits and due diligence to identify potential risks in our supply chain. These supplier audits include checks of recruitment practices, employment records, licence and registration status where relevant, and evidence of pay and working conditions. Where risks are identified, we work with suppliers to remediate issues and, if necessary, terminate relationships that cannot meet our standards. Our processes cover both direct suppliers and key subcontractors engaged in garden clearance services across the Feltham area and neighbouring locations.

Policies, Training and Prevention Measures

We maintain clear policies and provide regular training to staff and managers to raise awareness of modern slavery risks in the gardening, landscaping and waste removal sectors. Staff training emphasises the importance of reporting concerns, understanding indicators of exploitation, and supporting vulnerable individuals safely. Managers receive additional guidance on supplier management and the use of contractual clauses to enforce compliance with labour and ethical standards.

We operate accessible reporting channels to encourage the safe disclosure of concerns. Reports can be made anonymously through internal systems and will be handled confidentially and sensitively. Our reporting procedure ensures that all allegations are investigated promptly, with appropriate protective measures for those who report in good faith. We do not tolerate retaliation, and we actively promote an environment where whistleblowing is supported and respected.

Our due diligence framework includes ongoing risk assessment. This combines country and sector risk profiles with supplier-specific intelligence. We use periodic supplier audits, contractual audits, and spot checks to ensure sustained compliance. If breaches are found, remedial plans are required, and repeated or serious breaches lead to contract termination.

Supplier Audits, Reporting Channels and Annual Review

Key elements of our approach include:

• Supplier audits and site visits to verify employment practices and worker treatment;
• Contractual obligations requiring compliance with anti-slavery laws and allowing audits;
• Training and awareness for staff and contractors focused on spotting and reporting abuse;
• Accessible reporting channels that protect anonymity and guard against retaliation.

We will review this statement and our practices at least annually to measure effectiveness and drive improvement. The annual review includes consideration of audit outcomes, reports received through our reporting channels, training completion rates, and any corrective actions taken. Lessons learned lead to updates in policy, supplier engagement and risk management processes.

Responsibility for this statement and for ensuring ongoing compliance rests with senior management. Garden clearance Feltham will continue to monitor, audit and improve measures to prevent modern slavery, and to maintain transparent, ethical supply chains. We are committed to continuous improvement and to protecting the rights and dignity of everyone who works with or for us in the provision of Feltham garden clearance services.
