Modern Slavery Statement — Hedge Trimming Raynes Park

Hedge Trimming Raynes Park is committed to preventing any form of modern slavery or human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We maintain a clear and enforceable zero-tolerance approach to practices that exploit workers. This statement sets out our policies, due diligence, and the steps we take to ensure our hedge trimming in Raynes Park and related services respect human rights and legal obligations.

Our policy applies across the full scope of our Raynes Park hedge trimming services, subcontractors and suppliers. We define modern slavery to include forced labour, bonded labour, human trafficking and other forms of exploitation. All employees and contractors are required to comply with this policy as a condition of engagement and employment with Hedge Trimming Raynes Park.

We have a zero-tolerance policy to any form of modern slavery. This means that if modern slavery practices are identified, we will take immediate action which may include suspension of contracts, termination of suppliers, collaboration with authorities and support for affected workers. Our zero tolerance extends to Raynes Park hedge trimming subcontractors and those performing ancillary tasks such as landscaping, waste removal and seasonal labour.

We conduct regular risk assessments and due diligence across our supply chain for hedge trimming services in Raynes Park. These assessments identify high-risk suppliers and practices and inform the frequency and depth of supplier audits. Our procurement process includes mandatory modern slavery declarations and checks on recruitment and employment practices.

Supplier audits form a core part of our prevention strategy. We carry out on-site inspections, documentation reviews and worker interviews for suppliers deemed high risk. Audit findings lead to corrective action plans, timelines for remediation and, where necessary, contract termination. For Raynes Park hedge trimming partners, audits focus on working hours, pay records, identity checks and recruitment fee policies.

We also maintain a supplier code of conduct requiring adherence to labour standards and human rights. Our expectations include fair pay, freedom of movement, safe working conditions, and the prohibition of recruitment fees. Suppliers must confirm compliance before engagement and periodically afterward.

We provide multiple reporting channels so employees, subcontractors and third parties can raise concerns safely and confidentially. Reports can be made internally through line managers or designated compliance officers and via anonymous reporting mechanisms. All reports are taken seriously, investigated promptly and treated with confidentiality and impartiality.

Training and awareness form part of our preventative measures. Staff involved in procurement, site supervision and field operations receive regular training on spotting signs of modern slavery, safe recruitment practices and how to use reporting channels. Training materials are updated annually to reflect evolving risks and legal requirements related to hedge trimming services Raynes Park.

Annual review — We commit to an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and our associated policies and procedures. The review evaluates the effectiveness of supplier audits, risk assessments, incident responses and training outcomes. Findings from the annual review are used to improve controls, update our supplier engagement approach and strengthen mitigation measures for Raynes Park hedge trimming and associated activities.
