Modern Slavery Statement — Garden Clearance Eltham

Garden Clearance Eltham is committed to combating modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms across our operations and supply chains. This statement sets out the policy, actions and ongoing commitments of Garden Clearance in Eltham to ensure that forced labour, debt bondage, involuntary prison labour, and human trafficking have no place in our business.

We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery. Our approach to Eltham garden clearance and related services is rooted in respect for human rights, ethical employment practices and transparent procurement. We require all staff, contractors and partners to adhere to the principles set out here and to report any concerns promptly.

Scope and Responsibilities

Garden-clearance Eltham applies this policy across our core operations, including waste removal, site clearance, recycling and subcontracted labour. Key responsibilities include:

Due Diligence and Risk Assessment

We undertake regular due diligence to identify and assess modern slavery risks in our supply chain. This includes background checks on suppliers, review of recruitment practices and scrutiny of labour providers. Our risk assessment prioritises high-risk categories and geographic locations where vulnerabilities are greater.

To reinforce our commitment, we maintain a supplier code of conduct and contractual clauses that prohibit modern slavery. All new suppliers are screened before engagement and existing suppliers are required to confirm compliance during contract renewal.

Key elements of our supplier diligence include:

• Verification of identity and legal status for labour providers
• Assessment of wage, hour and working condition practices
• Checks on recruitment fees and freedom of movement for workers

Supplier audits form a central part of our enforcement. We conduct both scheduled and unannounced audits of high-risk vendors, and we use document reviews, site visits and worker interviews to validate compliance. Where non-compliance is identified, we require immediate remediation plans and track progress until resolved.

Our procurement teams are trained to spot red flags. If a supplier repeatedly fails to meet our standards, we will suspend or terminate the relationship. These measures apply equally to all providers involved in Eltham garden clearance projects.

Reporting channels are confidential and accessible to everyone. Employees and third parties can report concerns via internal whistleblowing channels or by raising issues with line managers. We emphasise that reports can be made anonymously and that retaliation against whistleblowers is strictly prohibited.

Protection and remediation are priorities when issues are found. We work to protect victims, ensure safe exit from exploitative situations and provide support through appropriate local services. Remediation actions may include restitution, changes to supply chain practices and, if necessary, cooperation with law enforcement.

Training is provided to staff and contractors involved in procurement, site supervision and labour management. This training covers identification of exploitation indicators, how to use reporting channels and our obligations under the law. Regular refresher sessions ensure the team remains vigilant.

Monitoring, review and continuous improvement are embedded in our process. Our anti-slavery measures are reviewed and updated in response to new intelligence, audit findings and evolving legal and industry standards.

We commit to an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement. Each year the leadership team will evaluate the effectiveness of policies, review supplier audit outcomes and publish any significant changes to our approach. This annual assessment ensures Garden Clearance Eltham remains proactive in the fight against modern slavery.

In summary, Garden Clearance Eltham, Eltham garden clearance specialists, will continue to pursue high standards in ethical sourcing, employment practice and transparency. Our zero-tolerance stance, supplier audits, clear reporting channels and annual review cycle collectively protect workers and sustain responsible business conduct across all Garden Clearance Eltham activities.

Commitment: We reaffirm our dedication to preventing modern slavery and to continually strengthening measures within our operations and throughout the supply chain.
