Modern Slavery Statement — Warehouse Driveway Cleaning Commitment
Our organisation is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our operations, including warehouse driveway cleaning and related services. We operate a strict zero-tolerance policy toward any form of forced labour, debt bondage, involuntary servitude or human trafficking in the supply chain for warehouse driveway cleaning and warehouse driveway-cleaning contracts. This statement outlines our approach to compliance, supplier oversight, and continuous improvement.
We recognise that driveway cleaning for warehouses and industrial facilities can involve layered subcontracting and seasonal workers. To address these risks we require that all suppliers and contractors agree to our labour standards, demonstrate lawful employment practices and allow access for verification. Zero-tolerance means immediate corrective action or termination of relationships where modern slavery risks are identified.
Supplier obligations are emphasised in our contracts, and we maintain a clear set of expectations for anyone providing warehouse drive cleaning, driveway-cleaning services for warehouses or related site maintenance. These expectations include documented recruitment practices, transparent wage and hour records, freedom of movement for workers and prohibition of passport retention. We publish mandatory clauses and use audits and assessments to monitor compliance.
To ensure compliance we operate a programme of regular supplier audits and risk-based assessments covering environmental health and safety, worker welfare and labour rights. Audits may be conducted on-site or remotely and include document review, worker interviews and corrective action plans. Our supplier audit process is adapted for different service types, including specialised warehouse drive cleaning and high-traffic driveway maintenance.
We provide multiple safe reporting channels for workers, supervisors and third parties to raise concerns about modern slavery or exploitation. These channels include anonymous reporting mechanisms, a dedicated internal compliance mailbox (not public contact details here) and escalation procedures to senior management. Reports are taken seriously, investigated promptly and protected from retaliation. Whistleblower protections and confidentiality are integral to these channels.
Our due diligence processes for procuring driveway cleaning for warehouses include pre-qualification checks, contractual assurances and ongoing monitoring. We maintain a supplier code of conduct, require training for procurement staff, and use a combination of desktop reviews and physical inspections. If suppliers fail to meet standards, we require remediation or cease engagement for persistent non-compliance.
We invest in training for staff involved in procurement and site management so they can identify indicators of forced labour and exploitative practices in warehouse driveway cleaning and related services. Training covers recognising signs of coercion, pay discrepancies, restricted movement and improper recruitment fees. Capacity building extends to suppliers, who must certify that workers are employed freely and fairly.
Remediation for identified issues is worker-centred: we prioritise safe separation from exploitative conditions, repayment of unlawful deductions and support for affected individuals. For supplier-level failures we require clear corrective action plans, timeline-bound improvements and follow-up audits. Strong contractual clauses enable termination where necessary to protect worker welfare and uphold our zero-tolerance stance.
Annual Review and Continuous Improvement
We conduct an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and our operational controls related to warehouse driveway cleaning, driveway-cleaning services for warehouses and other site maintenance. The review assesses audit outcomes, incident reports, supplier performance and training effectiveness. Findings are reported to senior leadership and used to update policies, procedures and risk-mitigation measures.Governance, Records and Next Steps
Governance of modern slavery risk sits with senior management and the compliance team. Records of audits, training attendance, supplier certifications and investigations are maintained securely. We track key performance indicators and corrective actions to demonstrate continuous improvement across warehouse drive cleaning operations.
Key controls include:
- Pre-engagement due diligence for all suppliers of warehouse driveway cleaning and related services
- Regular supplier audits and worker interviews to validate conditions
- Multiple protected reporting channels and prompt investigation procedures
We remain resolute in our commitment to eliminate modern slavery from our operations and supply chain. This statement reflects our ongoing efforts to ensure ethical procurement and safe working conditions across all aspects of warehouse drive cleaning and associated services, with an annual review cycle to strengthen safeguards and accountability.
