Modern Slavery Statement — Commercial Driveway Pressure Washing

Our organisation is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in every part of our operations, including commercial driveway pressure washing and related services. We declare a zero-tolerance policy for any form of forced labour, exploitation or human trafficking. This statement applies to all colleagues, contractors and suppliers engaged in commercial driveway cleaning, driveway pressure cleaning and other pressure washing for commercial driveways activities.

We recognise the risks inherent in the cleaning and maintenance sector and in multi-tier supply chains. Our policy covers recruitment practices, working hours, fair pay, and safe working conditions for those carrying out commercial pressure washing of driveways and other exterior cleaning services. We enforce standards through contractual terms and procurement requirements and expect all partners to uphold the same ethical principles.

Zero-Tolerance Policy

We operate a strict zero-tolerance stance towards modern slavery. Any evidence of exploitation in the delivery of commercial driveway pressure washing will result in immediate remedial action, which may include termination of contracts, disengagement of suppliers and referral to appropriate authorities. Our approach is deliberate: we will act swiftly to protect victims, support investigations and ensure responsible consequences for perpetrators.

Supplier Expectations and Due Diligence

We require all suppliers and subcontractors involved in commercial driveway cleaning and pressure cleaning services to comply with our anti-slavery standards. Suppliers must demonstrate policies on worker rights, safe work practices and transparent payrolls. We include clauses that allow us to audit, inspect and demand corrective action where deficiencies are found.

Risk assessments are performed periodically across categories including labour providers, equipment hire, and subcontract cleaning teams. We monitor higher-risk areas where low-skilled labour, informal arrangements or complex supply chains exist and take proportionate steps to mitigate risks, such as enhanced vetting for temporary workers and verification of pay records.

Our supplier audit program includes:

• Documentary checks — contracts, payroll records and worker ID verification
• On-site inspections — facility visits and direct worker interviews where permissible
• Corrective action plans — agreed remediation, monitored to completion

Reporting Channels

We provide multiple, confidential channels for reporting suspected modern slavery in the context of driveway pressure washing and broader operations. Workers, contractors and third parties can raise concerns without fear of retaliation. Reports are taken seriously and investigated promptly by trained compliance personnel. We emphasise anonymity and protection for whistleblowers wherever legally permitted.

Reporting mechanisms include internal hotlines, escalation to senior management, and a dedicated compliance review process. We also accept credible third-party reports and collaborate with industry bodies and enforcement agencies when necessary. All reports are logged, risk-assessed and tracked until resolution, with outcomes recorded to inform future prevention measures.

Annual Review, Training and Continuous Improvement

We review this statement and our anti-slavery measures at least annually. The review assesses effectiveness of policies for commercial driveway pressure washing, supplier performance, audit results, and incident responses. Training is provided to procurement teams, site managers and frontline staff to recognise indicators of exploitation and to act in line with our strong safeguarding approach. We are committed to continuous improvement, using lessons learned to refine supplier audits, reporting channels and contractual safeguards, ensuring our commercial driveway cleaning operations remain free from modern slavery.
