Modern Slavery Statement — Commercial Driveway Cleaning Commitment
Our company is committed to eradicating modern slavery and human trafficking across all activities related to commercial driveway cleaning. This Modern Slavery Statement describes the steps we take to prevent exploitation in our commercial driveway cleaning operations and in the extended supply chain. We operate a zero-tolerance policy toward forced labour, bonded labour, child labour and any form of involuntary labour, and we require the same standard from every contractor, subcontractor and supplier engaged in driveway cleaning for businesses.
We understand that driveway cleaning services for commercial properties may involve multiple tiers of labour and varied recruitment practices. To manage this risk we set out clear contractual expectations, worker protections and operational controls that apply to pressure washing, surface preparation and other commercial driveway clean tasks. Our obligations include vetting labour providers, monitoring working hours and ensuring wages meet legal and living wage standards.
Scope and application: This policy applies to our employees, on-site teams, temporary workers and third-party providers engaged in commercial driveway cleaning projects. We require suppliers to provide written assurances of compliance, submit to due diligence checks and disclose their labour sourcing arrangements. Where gaps are identified we request corrective plans and reserve the right to suspend or terminate relationships that fail to remedy breaches within agreed timescales.
Prevention, Supplier Audits and Risk Management
We conduct risk-based supplier audits and assessments to confirm adherence to anti-slavery standards across the commercial driveway cleaning supply chain. These audits combine document review, contractual checks and, where necessary, on-site inspections to validate that workers are lawfully employed and free from coercion. Audit outcomes inform supplier ratings, corrective action requirements and the prioritisation of higher-risk providers for deeper scrutiny.
Our procurement process includes enhanced due diligence for high-risk contractors supplying driveway cleaning services for business properties. That enhanced review may include:
- Documentary verification of worker contracts and payroll records
- On-site worker interviews to confirm freely agreed terms
- Checks on recruitment fees and third-party labour suppliers
We also deliver specialised training for procurement staff, project managers and on-site supervisors focused on identifying indicators of modern slavery, ethical recruitment practices and steps to protect vulnerable workers. Training is refreshed periodically to reflect emerging risks, legal developments and lessons learned from supplier audits.
Reporting Channels, Response, Remediation and Annual Review
To support reporting and accountability we maintain confidential channels for raising concerns about modern slavery and labour exploitation in our driveway cleaning for commercial clients. Reports can be submitted anonymously through internal hotlines, designated whistleblowing procedures and secure online portals. All reports are logged, triaged and investigated by trained compliance staff to ensure prompt and proportionate responses.
Our incident response process ensures that allegations are handled with impartiality and care: investigations seek to protect affected workers, preserve evidence and, where appropriate, provide immediate remedial support including access to medical, legal or social services. If exploitation is confirmed, we require remedial action from suppliers, which may include compensation to workers, reimbursement of recruitment fees and contract termination for serious breaches. We strongly enforce accountability across the supply chain.
Governance and continuous improvement: senior management oversees our anti-slavery programme and reviews performance metrics, audit results and corrective actions on a regular basis. We commit to an annual review of this statement and associated policies to measure effectiveness, update risk assessments and set new targets for supplier compliance and staff training. Through persistent monitoring, stakeholder engagement and a zero-tolerance stance, we aim to ensure our commercial driveway cleaning activities and related services remain free from modern slavery and that improvements are sustained year to year.
