Modern Slavery Statement — Garden Clearance Woodgreen

This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the commitments and actions of Garden Clearance Woodgreen and affiliated teams to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour across our operations. We present our approach to due diligence, supplier management and ongoing monitoring. Our mission as a Woodgreen garden clearance provider is to operate ethically and transparently, embedding respect for human rights into every garden clearance and waste removal activity.

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy on all forms of modern slavery. All employees, contractors and sub-contractors are required to follow our policies and procedures. Garden clearance in Woodgreen must be delivered in ways that protect dignity and safety. Failure to comply with our standards may result in immediate contract termination and other corrective actions.

Our expectations of suppliers and partners are clear. Suppliers to Woodgreen clearance services must demonstrate compliance with labour laws, fair pay practices and safe working conditions. We require evidence of lawful employment, lawful recruitment and freedom of movement. To reinforce this we use regular supplier audits that focus on:

• Verification of employment documentation and recruitment practices
• Assessment of working hours, wages and rest periods
• Evaluation of housing, transport and recruitment fees where provided

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

Supplier audits are a cornerstone of our anti-slavery programme. We conduct desktop checks, site visits and third-party verifications tailored to risk levels associated with specific services, including Woodgreen garden clearance and ancillary waste handling. Audits are recorded and non-conformances trigger corrective action plans with defined timeframes for remediation.

Our due diligence process includes a risk-based approach: identifying high-risk suppliers, assessing the likelihood of exploitation, and prioritising follow-up actions. We also integrate garden clearance Woodgreen contract clauses requiring compliance with our Modern Slavery Standards. Where necessary, we work collaboratively with suppliers to improve labour practices rather than only terminating relationships.

To support compliance, we provide training, resources and guidance to our teams and supply chain. Training covers recognising signs of coercion, safe recruitment, and how to respond if modern slavery is suspected. All operational staff receive role-appropriate training and are encouraged to escalate concerns through established reporting channels.

Reporting Channels, Monitoring and Remediation

We operate multiple confidential reporting channels so that workers, contractors or members of the public can raise concerns safely and without fear of retaliation. These channels include anonymous reporting mechanisms, internal escalation routes and designated case handlers. Reports are logged, risk-assessed and investigated promptly.

Our monitoring programme combines supplier audits, employee feedback mechanisms and periodic reviews of procurement practices. We document findings, track corrective actions and, where necessary, suspend or terminate relationships with suppliers that fail to meet our standards. We also support remediation for affected individuals in line with best practice.

Governance for anti-slavery efforts rests with senior management and the Board. We commit to an annual review of our statement, policies and performance. This review includes an assessment of the effectiveness of due diligence, supplier audits, training, and reporting channels. Changes are implemented to strengthen our approach and respond to evolving risks.

In closing, Garden Clearance Woodgreen and its operational partners are committed to continuous improvement in preventing modern slavery. Our combined programme of clear policy, supplier audits, safe reporting channels and an annual review cycle forms an integrated response to the risk of exploitation. We reaffirm our pledge to uphold human rights throughout all aspects of our Woodgreen clearance services and local garden clearance operations.
