Modern Slavery Statement — Hedge Trimming Tufnell Park

Hedge Trimming Tufnell Park is firmly committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations and supply chain. This statement explains our approach to identifying, preventing and addressing the risk of forced labour and other forms of exploitation within our local hedge trimming in Tufnell Park operations and with the contractors and suppliers we engage.

Zero-Tolerance Policy and Commitment

We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery. Our Tufnell Park hedge trimming services insist that all workers are engaged voluntarily, receive fair pay and work under safe conditions. We require every colleague, contractor and supplier to abide by our standards. Any evidence of forced labour, debt bondage, withholding of pay or abusive conditions will result in immediate action, including contract termination.

Our procurement and subcontracting processes for hedge maintenance Tufnell Park enforce strict supplier expectations. We assess new suppliers for compliance and require contractual commitments to ethical labour standards. Key supplier audit measures include:

• Pre-engagement checks on employment practices and documentation.
• Regular supplier audits focusing on payroll, working hours and living conditions.
• Corrective action plans where non-compliances are identified.

Due Diligence and Risk Assessment

We conduct ongoing due diligence across the supply chain for Tufnell Park hedge trimming. This includes risk assessments that prioritise areas with elevated vulnerability to modern slavery, such as seasonal labour, subcontracted crews and manual labour supply. Assessments combine desk-based research, supplier self-assessments and on-site verification where appropriate.

We maintain clear reporting channels for all workers, suppliers and community members to raise concerns about potential modern slavery. Reports can be made confidentially and will be investigated without retaliation. Our channels include an internal ethics line, escalation to senior management, and safe, anonymous reporting mechanisms for subcontractor employees.

To support these channels, we provide training for supervisors and teams involved in Tufnell Park hedge trimming operations. Training emphasises recognising signs of exploitation, appropriate interviewing techniques and the correct steps when a concern is raised. We also ensure that site supervisors know how to escalate issues quickly and safely.

Supplier audits form a cornerstone of our approach to ethical hedge trimming in Tufnell Park. Audits are conducted on a risk-priority basis and cover labour documentation, health and safety practices, and payroll accuracy. Where suppliers fail to meet standards, we implement remediation plans and monitor progress. Persistent or serious breaches lead to contract review and possible termination.

We embed remediation procedures that focus on victim protection, immediate rectification and systemic changes. Remediation actions may include restoring unpaid wages, ensuring safe housing, changing recruitment intermediaries and providing access to support services for affected workers. Our aim is to resolve issues quickly while preventing recurrence in future Tufnell Park hedge trimming engagements.

Monitoring and Annual Review: we monitor key performance indicators related to labour standards and modern slavery risks, including the number of audits completed, incidents reported and corrective actions closed. An annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement, supplier performance and operational practices is carried out to ensure effectiveness, to update risk assessments and to set priorities for the coming year. Findings from the review are used to improve policies, training and procurement strategies.

We are dedicated to continuous improvement across all our Tufnell Park hedge trimming services. This includes strengthening contractual clauses, expanding supplier engagement and enhancing transparency through regular reporting. Our governance structures allocate responsibility for modern slavery prevention to senior management and ensure that the Board receives periodic updates.

Through a combination of robust contractual requirements, targeted supplier audits, clear reporting channels and a formal annual review process, Hedge Trimming Tufnell Park aims to eradicate any form of modern slavery from our business and supply chain. We remain resolute in our commitment to ethical labour practices and the protection of human rights for everyone involved in delivering our hedge trimming services.

Signed and approved on behalf of the leadership of Hedge Trimming Tufnell Park. This statement will be reviewed annually and updated as necessary to reflect changes in our operations, supply chain and regulatory environment.
