Modern Slavery Statement for Office Driveway Cleaning and Maintenance

Our organisation is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking across all aspects of our office driveway cleaning and office driveway maintenance operations. This statement outlines the steps we take to ensure that our commercial driveway cleaning services are delivered ethically and responsibly. We adopt a zero-tolerance policy towards forced labour, debt bondage, and any form of exploitation affecting people involved in providing office drive cleaning and related services.

We maintain clear expectations that every contractor, subcontractor and supplier engaged in office driveway cleaning services complies with applicable labour laws and our own rigorous standards. Our zero-tolerance policy is embedded in contracts and procurement processes; violations result in immediate investigation and contractual remedies, up to termination of engagement for non-compliance.

The scope of this statement covers all elements of the supply chain for our office driveway cleaning operations, including temporary labour, equipment suppliers and outsourced maintenance crews. We define modern slavery broadly to include forced labour, human trafficking, and exploitative working conditions, and we seek to identify and remove risks across all stages of contract delivery.

Supplier Audits, Due Diligence and Risk Management

Our supplier due diligence process for commercial driveway cleaning suppliers includes pre-qualification checks, verification of labour practices, and review of employment records where permitted by law. We require suppliers to demonstrate compliance through documented policies, worker contracts and, where relevant, recruitment fee declarations. We operate an ongoing audit programme for high-risk suppliers and critical supply-chain partners.

Audit activities include on-site inspections, document reviews and anonymous worker interviews where appropriate. Key elements of our supplier audit programme for driveway cleaning providers include:

• Verification of identity and legal employment status of staff;
• Review of working hours, wages and benefits to detect signs of forced labour;
• Assessment of recruitment practices to ensure no worker-paid fees or deceptive hiring;
• Evaluation of subcontracting arrangements to maintain traceability.

Where audits highlight concerns, we engage suppliers in corrective action plans and monitor progress. Persistent failure to remediate identified risks triggers escalation and potential contract termination. These supplier audit measures apply across our portfolio of office driveway cleaning services and related property maintenance contracts.

Reporting Channels, Training and Annual Review

We provide multiple secure reporting channels for employees, contractors and third parties to raise concerns about modern slavery in the context of office driveway cleaning and other services. Reports may be submitted anonymously, and we prohibit retaliation against reporters. Reported issues are assessed promptly by our compliance team and escalated to senior management when necessary for investigation and remediation.

We invest in regular training for procurement teams, site managers and cleaning supervisors on recognising signs of exploitation in delivery of office driveway cleaning services. Training emphasises practical indicators of risk, steps for escalation, and the role of supplier audits in preventing abuse. Our contractual terms require suppliers to ensure worker awareness of grievance mechanisms and to maintain records demonstrating compliance.

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least annually, or more frequently if new risks are identified, to ensure effectiveness and continuous improvement. The annual review assesses audit outcomes, incident reports, remediation effectiveness and evolving sector risks in commercial and office driveway cleaning. We remain committed to strengthening our controls and transparency to eradicate modern slavery from our operations and supply chains.
