Modern Slavery Statement for Hedge Trimming Euston

Hedge Trimming Euston is committed to the highest standards of integrity and respect for human rights across our operations. This Modern Slavery Statement explains our approach to preventing modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking in our business and supply chain. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for any form of exploitation, and we expect the same high standards from our contractors and suppliers involved in Euston hedge trimming and related services.

Our policy applies across all activities including Euston hedge maintenance, hedge care in Euston properties and subcontracted landscape services. Every member of our team — employees, temporary staff and contractors — is encouraged to act in accordance with these principles. We have incorporated clear contractual clauses that prohibit modern slavery into supplier agreements and require compliance as a condition of engagement.

We operate a strict zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and forced labour. Allegations are treated seriously and investigated promptly. To protect workers and the integrity of our hedge trimming services in Euston, allegations trigger immediate protective action and, where necessary, termination of contracts and notification to authorities. We publish this statement to be transparent about how we manage risk and drive continuous improvement.

Supply Chain Assurance and Supplier Audits

We recognise that risk can arise at any point in the supply chain for hedge maintenance and groundskeeping. To mitigate that risk, we carry out targeted supplier due diligence, including background checks and contractual obligations, before onboarding any provider. Suppliers are evaluated on labour practices, wage compliance, right-to-work checks and recruitment policies relevant to hedge trimming operations across Euston.

We implement a staged supplier audit programme that includes on-site inspections, documentation reviews and worker interviews. Our audit framework covers:

• Verification of payroll and working hours for hedge trimming teams
• Assessment of recruitment chains and agency relationships
• Health and safety and living conditions where relevant

These supplier audits for Euston hedge trimming partners are prioritised by risk and frequency, with higher-risk suppliers subject to more frequent checks.

Where audits reveal non-compliance, we require corrective action plans and monitored remediation. Persistent failures result in suspension or termination of the business relationship. We also work collaboratively with suppliers to build capacity and share best practice across the wider hedge care Euston network.

Reporting Channels, Training and Annual Review

We provide multiple safe reporting channels for employees and third parties to raise concerns about modern slavery, exploitation or unethical practices connected to our hedge care services in Euston. Reports are accepted confidentially and can be raised anonymously through internal hotlines, designated safeguarding officers and through our escalation procedures. All reports are logged, triaged and investigated by trained personnel to ensure timely resolution.

Training is mandatory for managers and operational staff involved in Euston hedge maintenance. Training covers how to spot indicators of modern slavery, how to use reporting channels and how to support affected individuals. We also include modules on ethical procurement and supplier management so that purchasing decisions reflect our commitment to human rights and lawful labour practices.

This statement is reviewed at least annually and updated to reflect changes in our operations, supplier base and the evolving risk landscape associated with hedge trimming and landscaping projects in Euston. The annual review examines the effectiveness of our policies, supplier audits, training and reporting procedures, and sets objectives for the forthcoming year. Senior management and the board receive a formal report on compliance performance, and any necessary remedial actions are assigned clear ownership and timelines.

We remain steadfast in our commitment to continuous improvement. Hedge Trimming Euston will continue to embed anti-slavery measures across our services, collaborate with suppliers to raise standards and ensure that our operations reflect the core values of fairness, safety and respect for human dignity.
