Modern Slavery Statement — Garden Clearance Putney
Garden Clearance Putney confirms its unequivocal commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking across our operations. This statement sets out our policies, due diligence and the steps we take to ensure that our Putney garden clearance activities and associated supply chains are free from exploitation. We operate a zero-tolerance policy on all forms of modern slavery and forced labour and expect the same high standards from the businesses we work with.Our Commitment and Policy
We have adopted a formal anti-slavery policy that applies to every individual working for or on behalf of our company. The policy makes clear that any form of coerced labour, debt bondage, human trafficking or exploitation is unacceptable. As a provider of garden clearance in Putney, we integrate human rights considerations into day-to-day decisions, procurement and contractor selection. All staff must comply with this policy, and breaches are treated as serious misconduct.
Scope and Responsibilities
Our commitment covers both direct operations and the extended supply chain that supports Putney clearance and landscape management services. Senior management are responsible for oversight, while managers and supervisors carry out operational checks. We require suppliers to confirm they do not use forced labour and to adhere to our standards, and we publish this statement to be transparent about our approach to combating modern slavery.We operate a robust supplier assurance programme that includes mandatory supplier declarations, periodic audits and contractual clauses. The supplier audit framework evaluates labour practices, documentation, working hours, and freedom of movement. Key measures include:
- Pre-engagement checks on new contractors and subcontractors;
- Random and scheduled audits of supply chain partners;
- Corrective action plans for any non-compliance identified.
Our reporting channels are designed to be accessible, confidential and safe. Anyone—employees, contractors or members of the public—concerned about suspected modern slavery related to Putney garden clearance services can raise issues through internal reporting procedures or anonymously through third-party mechanisms. We emphasize non-retaliation: all reports are investigated promptly, with appropriate remedial action if concerns are substantiated. Whistleblowing safeguards are a core element of our approach.
Training and awareness are fundamental to our prevention strategy. All staff involved in procurement, supervision and on-site operations receive regular training on identifying signs of exploitation, the correct use of reporting channels and how to support potential victims. We also provide guidance to suppliers and require evidence of staff training. These efforts strengthen our ability to detect and deter modern slavery in Putney clearance operations and other services.
Monitoring and due diligence remain ongoing. We maintain records of supplier audits, risk assessments and remedial actions, and apply a risk-based approach to prioritise higher-risk parts of the supply chain. If non-compliance is found, we take proportionate action up to and including contract termination and referral to enforcement agencies. Our zero-tolerance policy means we will not tolerate suppliers who benefit from exploited labour in any Putney garden clearance activity.
Annual Review and Continuous Improvement
We commit to an annual review of this statement and the effectiveness of our measures. The review analyses audit outcomes, incident reports, training completion rates and feedback from independent assessments. Results of the annual review inform updates to our policies, procurement terms and training curricula to ensure continuous improvement in preventing modern slavery across our Putney garden clearance services.
