Modern Slavery Statement — Garden Clearance Edmonton

Garden Clearance Edmonton is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our operations and supply chain. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our zero-tolerance approach to forced labour, servitude, and any form of exploitation. As an Edmonton garden clearance specialist, we recognise our responsibility to ensure that everyone who works for us, or with us, does so freely and safely.

Our policy applies to all employees, contractors and third-party suppliers engaged by the Garden clearance in Edmonton business. We have a zero-tolerance policy that prohibits any form of modern slavery or human trafficking. All members of our team are required to adhere to these standards and to report concerns. We treat allegations seriously and will investigate thoroughly, taking appropriate corrective action where warranted.

Supply chain transparency is central to how our Edmonton garden clearance services operate. We conduct regular supplier assessments and audits to identify and address risks. These assessments include documentation checks, contractual commitments to ethical labour standards, and, where necessary, on-site audits. Our procurement processes require suppliers to confirm they comply with our anti-slavery expectations; repeated failure to meet these standards may result in termination of the supplier relationship.

Due Diligence, Audits, and Remediation

We use a risk-based approach for supplier audits, focusing on higher-risk categories such as seasonal labour, subcontracted clearing teams, and third-party waste removers. Audits combine paper-based checks with interviews and, when justified, unannounced site visits. The audit programme includes the following elements:

• Verification of worker identity and contract terms;
• Review of pay records and working hours;
• Assessment of recruitment practices and any third-party labour providers;
• Evaluation of worker grievance mechanisms and access to remedy.

We commit to continuous improvement when audit findings reveal non-compliance. Remediation plans are jointly agreed with suppliers and include timelines, monitoring checkpoints, and, where appropriate, capacity-building measures such as training. In severe cases of forced labour or deliberate concealment, we will suspend or terminate contracts and cooperate with authorities.

Reporting Channels and Annual Review

We maintain clear and confidential reporting channels for employees, subcontractors and members of the public to raise concerns about modern slavery within our operations or supply chain. Reports can be made through internal channels promoted across the company and via anonymous mechanisms where individuals feel safer using them. All reports are logged, assessed and acted upon promptly by our compliance team.

To reinforce our commitments, the Edmonton garden clearance management team provides regular training on recognising signs of exploitation and the correct steps to take when concerns arise. Whistleblower protections are in place to protect anyone who reports in good faith from retaliation. We employ a combination of mandatory induction training and periodic refresher sessions to keep awareness high across our workforce.

We will review this Modern Slavery Statement at least annually and update it to reflect changes in our business, supply chain structure, legislation, or risk profile. The annual review process includes analysis of audit outcomes, incident reports, remediation effectiveness and evolving best practice. Decisions on policy updates and resource allocation are taken at senior management level to ensure continued leadership on this issue.

Accountability: The company’s senior leaders are accountable for implementing this policy and for ensuring that appropriate controls, training and supplier oversight are in place. Our approach to preventing modern slavery is part of our wider commitment to ethical, sustainable and responsible operations across all Garden Clearance Edmonton activities.

By publishing this statement, Garden Clearance Edmonton reaffirms its commitment to combatting modern slavery in all its forms and to fostering a supply chain that respects the dignity and rights of workers.
