Modern Slavery Statement — Hedge Trimming Shadwell

Hedge Trimming Shadwell is committed to eradicating all forms of modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking from our operations and supply chains. This statement explains our zero-tolerance policy and the practical steps we take across our Shadwell hedge trimming operations and related services to prevent exploitation, protect workers and promote ethical practices.

Our Policy and Principles

We operate a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery and exploitation. All employees, contractors and subcontractors engaged in hedge trimming in Shadwell must comply with our standards. We require that everyone involved in Hedge trimming Shadwell services is treated fairly, properly contracted and free to leave employment. We underline our commitment with training, clear codes of conduct and a requirement for legal right-to-work verification.

Scope and Risk Assessment

We conduct regular risk assessments to identify where risk of modern slavery is highest in our local operations and supply chain. These assessments consider labour sourcing, seasonal workers, subcontracted teams and supply of equipment. Findings inform our actions and align with our aim to ensure that hedge trimming Shadwell activities do not involve exploitation of vulnerable individuals.

We maintain clear procurement standards and due diligence for suppliers and partners. Our supplier code of conduct stipulates labour rights, lawful working conditions and transparent recruitment practices. New suppliers undergo screening, and existing suppliers are assessed against performance and compliance indicators. Supplier audits are part of this process and include on-site inspections, document reviews and interviews where appropriate.

Supplier Audits and Remediation — Audits are scheduled based on risk level and include announced and unannounced visits. If issues are identified, we require immediate corrective plans and follow-up audits. Persistent non-compliance results in contract termination. Our approach balances remediation, worker protection and contractual enforcement to ensure that Shadwell hedge trimming supply chains remain free from forced labour.

We empower our workforce and stakeholders to raise concerns. Multiple secure reporting channels are available, including confidential internal reporting to managers, anonymous reporting mechanisms and escalation to senior leadership. Reports are investigated promptly, with appropriate measures taken to protect affected individuals and to prevent retaliation. Clear procedures ensure that anyone involved in Shadwell hedge trimming can report suspected exploitation safely.

Training and Awareness — We provide ongoing training for staff, supervisors and subcontractors on recognising signs of modern slavery, legal obligations and reporting procedures. Training includes scenario-based learning relevant to hedge trimming activities, seasonal labour recruitment and supplier engagement. By raising awareness we foster a culture where exploitation is not tolerated.

Our governance includes senior accountability and cross-functional oversight. The board and management review modern slavery risks and mitigation plans regularly. Policies are integrated into procurement, HR and health & safety processes. We use continuous improvement to strengthen controls and to adapt to evolving risks in landscaping and maintenance sectors.

Annual Review and Reporting — This statement is reviewed annually to assess effectiveness and to set targets for the coming year. The review covers audit outcomes, reported incidents, remediation actions and training uptake. We publish updates on progress and refine our strategy to reduce risk. In summary, Hedge Trimming Shadwell remains resolute: we have a zero-tolerance approach, robust supplier audits, accessible reporting channels and a formal annual review cycle to combat modern slavery in all its forms.
