Modern Slavery Statement for Hedge Trimming Haringey

This statement outlines the commitment of Hedge Trimming Haringey and related operations — including Haringey hedge trimming and hedge maintenance in Haringey — to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in any part of our business or supply chain. We adopt a zero-tolerance policy toward forced labour, servitude, and any form of exploitation.

Our Zero-Tolerance Policy

We operate with a clear and unequivocal zero-tolerance stance: any worker exploitation discovered in our hedge trimming services, whether by our own teams or subcontractors, will result in immediate action. Actions may include contract termination, internal disciplinary measures and cooperation with authorities. We expect the same standards from all partners engaged in hedge trimming Haringey activities.

Principles that Guide Us

Our key principles include transparency, accountability and continuous improvement. We assess risks in recruitment, working hours, pay and working conditions for those involved in hedge trimming services Haringey-wide. These principles are embedded across policies, contracts and day-to-day operations and are supported by training for staff and contractors.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We implement a robust supplier management framework for all suppliers and subcontractors used for hedge maintenance Haringey projects. This includes pre-contract checks, mandatory contractual clauses prohibiting modern slavery, and ongoing supplier audits. Audits verify employment records, pay practices and working conditions and may be conducted on-site or via third-party auditors.

Supplier Audit Process

• Risk-based selection of suppliers for audit, prioritising regions and services with higher vulnerability.
• Document verification and direct worker interviews where practicable.
• Corrective action plans with clear timelines for remediation and follow-up audits.

These audits form a central part of our effort to eliminate coerced labour from every part of the hedge trimming supply chain.

We require all suppliers to commit to our standards and to maintain records demonstrating compliance. Failure to remediate identified issues may result in suspension or termination of supply relationships. Our procurement team maintains a continuous register of supplier compliance status.

Reporting Channels and Protection

We maintain accessible reporting channels for employees, contractors and third parties to raise concerns about suspected modern slavery in Hedge Trimmers Haringey operations. Reports can be made through internal channels and are treated confidentially. We protect whistleblowers from retaliation and will investigate reports promptly and fairly.

How Reports Are Handled

On receipt of a report we will:

• Record the allegation and evaluate its credibility.
• Take interim measures to protect affected individuals.
• Conduct a documented investigation and take remedial action as required.

We commit to cooperating with law enforcement and support services for victims when necessary.

Monitoring, Training and Annual Review

Training on recognising and preventing modern slavery is delivered to staff involved in recruitment, procurement and supervision of hedge trimming activities. We regularly review the effectiveness of our policies and controls: at minimum an annual review is completed, with findings reported to senior management. The review examines audit outcomes, incident reports, supplier performance and evolving risks across hedge trimming Haringey operations. Continuous improvement is sought through updated procedures, enhanced supplier engagement and targeted training programs.

Commitment and Accountability

We are committed to maintaining vigilance and transparency across all aspects of our business. By embedding clear standards, conducting supplier audits, providing safe reporting channels and performing an annual review, Hedge Trimming Haringey seeks to ensure that exploitation has no place in our services. This statement is endorsed by senior leadership and will be reviewed and published in line with our governance cycle.
