Modern Slavery Statement — Garden Clearance Chiswick Commitment

Garden Clearance Chiswick operates with a clear and unwavering position: we have a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour in all areas of our operations. This Chiswick garden clearance statement sets out how our Chiswick garden clearance services and garden waste clearance in Chiswick are governed to prevent exploitation, to protect workers and to ensure our supply chains are free from abuse. We expect every colleague, supplier and partner to share responsibility for upholding these standards.

Our zero-tolerance policy means we will not engage with, permit or profit from slavery or trafficking. All staff and contractors engaged in garden clearance Chiswick work are required to comply with labour, health and safety, and employment law. We provide mandatory induction and regular refresher training, ensuring our teams recognise signs of exploitation and know the steps to take when concerns arise. Breaches of the policy lead to decisive action up to termination and referral to authorities where appropriate.

Supplier management and checks are central to eliminating modern slavery from our supply chain. We carry out proportionate due diligence for suppliers involved in garden clearance Chiswick projects, including background checks, verification of labour practices and confirmation of lawful pay and working hours. This due diligence is risk-based and focuses on higher-risk suppliers and services, such as seasonal labour, subcontracted clearance crews and waste handling partners. Within this approach we:

• assess supplier risk against clear criteria,
• request signed declarations of compliance, and
• implement corrective action plans where issues are identified.

We conduct regular supplier audits and site visits for our Chiswick garden clearance supply chain. These audits are a mix of announced and unannounced checks, combining document reviews, worker interviews and on-site observations. Audit findings are tracked and escalated; suppliers must demonstrate remediation progress within agreed timescales. Our supplier audit framework is designed to detect indicators of forced labour, unacceptable working conditions and illegal subcontracting. Audit outcomes inform our procurement decisions and ongoing relationships.

We maintain clear reporting channels so anyone — employees, subcontractors, or members of the public — can raise concerns confidentially and without fear of retaliation. Reports can be made through internal reporting procedures or anonymously via third-party whistleblowing mechanisms. We encourage early reporting and ensure every allegation is triaged, investigated and resolved. Investigation processes are robust, impartial and follow data protection principles. Where exploitation is suspected, we prioritise the welfare of the affected individual and work with relevant authorities and specialist organisations to provide support and remediation.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

We undertake an annual review of our policies, procedures and performance to measure the effectiveness of our efforts to combat modern slavery across all aspects of Garden Clearance Chiswick activity. The review evaluates training uptake, audit results, incident reports and supplier compliance metrics. Outcomes of the annual review drive continuous improvement: we update risk assessments, refine supplier audits, increase targeted training and allocate resources to higher-risk areas. Our board-level oversight ensures senior accountability and alignment with best practice.
