Modern Slavery Statement — Garden Clearance Greenwich Commitment
Garden Clearance Greenwich sets out this Modern Slavery Statement to affirm our firm position against exploitation. As a specialist in Greenwich garden clearance and landscape waste management, we recognise our responsibility to ensure that forced labour, human trafficking and any form of modern slavery have no place in our operations or supply chains. This document describes our policies, processes and ongoing steps to prevent modern slavery across our business and with our partners.Zero-Tolerance Policy and Core Principles
We maintain a zero-tolerance policy on modern slavery and unethical labour practices. All employees, contractors and suppliers are expected to comply with our code of conduct and ethical standards. Garden clearance in Greenwich activities must reflect respect for human rights, lawful employment terms, fair pay and safe working conditions. Any breach of this policy will result in immediate action up to and including termination of contracts and referral to authorities where appropriate.
Supplier Due Diligence and Audit Programme
We undertake risk-based supplier assessments and regular supplier audits to identify and address potential vulnerabilities in our supply chain. Our procurement team conducts background checks and requires written confirmation of labour standards from subcontractors and materials suppliers. For higher-risk suppliers, we perform on-site audits and require corrective action plans. Through repeat evaluations and monitoring, we seek continuous improvement in how our Greenwich garden clearance services are delivered.Supplier Audits — What We Do
Our supplier audit programme includes:- Document review of employment contracts, payroll records and right-to-work checks;
- On-site inspections of working and sleeping conditions where applicable;
- Interviews with employees and subcontractors to confirm fair treatment;
- Corrective action timelines and follow-up audits to ensure remediation.
These measures apply to all tiers of our supply chain for garden clearance Greenwich operations and related services.
Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing
We provide clear reporting channels for concerns about modern slavery. Workers, suppliers and members of the public are encouraged to raise issues via internal reporting lines. Reports may be submitted anonymously and will be treated seriously and confidentially. Our grievance procedure ensures that allegations are investigated promptly and impartially, and that whistleblowers are protected from retaliation.
Training, Awareness and Ongoing Due Diligence
Garden Clearance Greenwich delivers regular staff and contractor training to increase awareness of modern slavery indicators and reporting obligations. We require procurement and site managers to complete refresher training each year. Training explains how to spot signs of exploitation in the context of Greenwich garden clearance projects and how to escalate concerns. We also integrate human rights checks into supplier onboarding and contract renewals.Monitoring, Records and Continuous Improvement
We maintain records of supplier assessments, audit findings and remediation actions. Key performance indicators are tracked to measure the effectiveness of our policies and to identify areas for improvement. Where non-compliance is identified, we work with suppliers to remediate issues; persistent failure to address risks will result in contract termination. Our approach is designed to be proportionate, transparent and focused on eliminating exploitation from our operations.
