Modern Slavery Statement — Hedge Trimming Mayfair Commitment

Hedge Trimming Mayfair is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms across our operations and supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our approach for the year, demonstrating a clear zero-tolerance policy toward any form of forced labour, bonded labour, involuntary servitude, or exploitation within our Mayfair hedge trimming services and related procurement activities. We recognise that delivering responsible Mayfair hedge trimming requires vigilance, action and ongoing improvement.

We uphold a comprehensive set of policies and standards that apply to all colleagues, contractors and partners engaged in hedge maintenance, hedge-trimming Mayfair projects and ancillary services. Our workforce is trained to identify indicators of modern slavery and to escalate concerns via designated internal channels. The policy is embedded in employment practices, and we require every team member and subcontractor to acknowledge and adhere to our anti-slavery expectations before deployment.

Our approach extends beyond policy statements to practical measures. We operate a risk-based due diligence program that maps our supply chain for high-risk areas, with priority given to suppliers providing labour-intensive services and seasonal or subcontracted crews. As part of routine contract management for hedge trimming in Mayfair properties, we require suppliers to confirm compliance with labour standards and to provide evidence of employment terms, right-to-work checks and lawful wage practices.

Supplier audits are a central pillar of our preventive framework. We conduct periodic audits and spot checks of contractors and suppliers to verify that working conditions meet our standards. These supplier audits combine document reviews, direct worker interviews and on-site inspections. Where applicable, we also assess recruitment practices to ensure that workers are not charged fees or placed under debt bondage by intermediaries supplying labour for Hedge Trimming Mayfair tasks.

We maintain clear reporting channels to encourage the safe and confidential reporting of concerns. Employees, contractors and third parties can raise alarms through internal reporting lines and our anonymous whistleblowing procedures. We emphasise protection against retaliation and provide guidance on reporting suspected modern slavery in a way that is supportive to potential victims. Our reporting channels are monitored and investigated by trained compliance staff as part of our remediation process.

To ensure accountability, we publish this statement and integrate modern slavery considerations into procurement decisions for Mayfair hedging contracts. We require suppliers to include contractual commitments to anti-slavery principles and to cooperate with audits. When non-compliance is identified, we employ proportionate responses ranging from remediation plans and worker compensation to contract termination where necessary to uphold our zero-tolerance position.

Our governance structure supports continuous improvement: senior management oversees implementation, legal and compliance teams manage due diligence, and operational managers ensure on-site adherence during hedge-trimming Mayfair activities. Training is refreshed regularly to reflect evolving risks and best practices, and we encourage suppliers to adopt similar capacity building for their staff and subcontractors.

We maintain a focus on transparency and measurable outcomes. Key performance indicators include the number of supplier audits completed, incidents reported, corrective actions implemented and the proportion of high-risk suppliers assessed. These KPIs are reviewed internally and inform targeted actions to strengthen labour protections across the regional network of Mayfair hedge trimming services.

This statement forms part of our commitment to an annual review cycle. Each year we evaluate the effectiveness of our policies, the results of supplier audits, the robustness of reporting channels and the impact of remediation measures. The annual review includes stakeholder consultations and risk reassessments to ensure our strategy remains responsive to emerging threats and aligns with legal obligations and ethical expectations. In summary, Hedge Trimming Mayfair is resolute in its effort to eradicate modern slavery from its operations and supply chain, and to act with integrity, compassion and diligence in protecting workers and communities.
