Modern Slavery Statement — Garden Clearance Seven Sisters

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the commitment of Garden Clearance Seven Sisters to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations. We recognise our responsibility as a provider of Seven Sisters garden clearance services to ensure that all workers across our supply chain are treated with dignity and respect. This policy is guided by a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, servitude, or exploitation.

Our approach to preventing modern slavery in garden clearance in Seven Sisters is built on clear governance, practical controls and continuous improvement. We embed due diligence into procurement and operational practices and require that every contract, tender and engagement reflects these high standards. We set expectations for subcontractors and local suppliers who support our garden-clearance Seven Sisters operations, making compliance a contractual requirement.

To drive transparency we maintain a programme of supplier assessments and audits. Supplier audits focus on labour practices, recruitment processes, working hours, wages, and the use of agencies. These checks are proportionate to risk and include desktop reviews, site visits and documentary evidence checks. If an audit identifies concerns, we act immediately to remediate issues or, where necessary, terminate relationships to protect workers and maintain our standards.

We operate a clear

zero-tolerance policy

that is non-negotiable: any instance of modern slavery discovered within our immediate operations or supply chain will trigger a formal investigation and consequential action. This zero-tolerance stance is communicated to employees, suppliers and contractors through policies, contractual clauses and training, and forms part of our procurement decision-making for every Seven Sisters garden clearance contract.

Our supplier due diligence and internal controls include:

• Risk-based supplier screening and onboarding;
• Periodic supplier audits and site inspections;
• Mandatory contractual anti-slavery clauses and right-to-audit provisions;
• Worker documentation checks and verification of recruitment practices.

We use a combination of document review, interviews and physical inspections to verify compliance. Where suppliers fall short, we collaborate to implement corrective action plans and monitor progress until full compliance is achieved or, if unresolved, we end the commercial relationship to protect victims and deter malpractice.

To ensure concerns can be raised safely, we provide multiple

reporting channels

for staff, subcontractors and third parties involved in our Seven Sisters garden clearance activities. These channels are designed to be accessible, confidential and without fear of recrimination. Individuals are encouraged to report suspected exploitation through internal reporting lines, a designated compliance mailbox (maintained confidentially within the organisation) and anonymous reporting mechanisms where available.

We emphasise the importance of training: employees, site managers and procurement teams receive regular training on identifying signs of exploitation, correct reporting procedures and supporting affected individuals. Training is tailored for those involved in field operations, ensuring that those carrying out garden clearance in Seven Sisters can recognise indicators such as withheld wages, restricted movement, or deceptive recruitment practices.

Monitoring and improvement are driven by an annual review process. Each year we publish the outcomes of our assessment of risks, controls and corrective actions and set objectives for the coming year to strengthen our prevention and response mechanisms. The annual review evaluates supplier audit results, reported incidents, training coverage and remediation effectiveness, ensuring that our garden clearance Seven Sisters commitments remain robust and responsive to evolving risks.
