Garden Clearance Poplar Modern Slavery Statement

Garden Clearance Poplar is committed to the highest standards of ethical conduct and takes a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our approach to preventing slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. The policy applies to every person working for or on behalf of Garden Clearance Poplar, across all functions and while providing garden clearance Poplar services.

We recognise that our responsibility extends beyond our own activities to those of our suppliers and subcontractors. The leadership team has ultimate responsibility for compliance, and managers are required to ensure that garden clearance in Poplar is delivered in a way that respects human rights and labour standards. Our zero-tolerance approach means any suspected instance of forced labour will be investigated promptly and reported as appropriate.

To support that commitment we operate a rigorous supplier audit and assessment programme. Our supplier audits focus on key risk areas and include the following checks:

• Verification of worker identity and right to work
• Assessment of working hours, wages and contractual terms
• On-site inspections and interviews where necessary
• Review of recruitment practices to identify third-party labour risks

Reporting Channels and Safe Disclosure

We provide clear reporting channels for anyone who becomes aware of potential modern slavery in our operations or supply chain. Employees, contractors and third parties involved with Poplar garden clearance can raise concerns through anonymous reporting mechanisms and directly to management. We emphasise confidentiality and protection from retaliation for whistleblowers who report in good faith.

Our internal reporting procedure ensures that allegations are recorded, assessed and escalated. Reports trigger an initial risk screening and, where appropriate, a formal investigation. The company will take immediate action to protect potential victims and will cooperate fully with law enforcement or regulatory bodies when required. We also reserve the right to suspend or terminate relationships with suppliers who breach our standards.

Supplier audits are supplemented by contractual clauses that require compliance with our standards on labour rights. All new and existing suppliers providing garden clearance services in Poplar must acknowledge our policy and accept periodic audits. We include the following contractual elements to enforce compliance: mandatory compliance clauses, audit rights, and corrective action plans.

Training, Due Diligence and Continuous Improvement

We carry out due diligence assessments designed to identify, prevent and mitigate potential risks of modern slavery in our supply chain. Managers and key staff receive targeted training on recognising signs of exploitation and understanding their responsibilities under our policy for garden clearance - Poplar operations.

We maintain a programme of ongoing monitoring and supplier engagement. Where audits identify non-compliance, we require documented remediation plans with clear timelines and follow-up audits. Persistent or serious violations will result in contract termination and removal from our authorised supplier list. Our procurement policies emphasise transparency and traceability, particularly where labor and recruitment practices carry higher risks.

Annual review: This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least annually to assess effectiveness, to update risk assessments and to strengthen controls. Each year the board receives a report on audit findings, training completion rates and any incidents or allegations and the actions taken in response. We continually refine our approach to ensure that Garden Clearance Poplar remains vigilant and proactive in preventing modern slavery in all aspects of our business.
