Modern Slavery Statement — Local Driveway Cleaners Commitment

Our pledge

Local driveway cleaners and our team are committed to ensuring that all work carried out by our driveway cleaning company is free from modern slavery and human trafficking. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent exploitation across our own operations and those of our supply chain. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward forced labour, child labour, and any practices that infringe human rights.

Scope and purpose

This statement applies to our local driveway cleaning services, mobile teams, subcontractors and suppliers. It explains expectations we place on suppliers and subcontractors who provide goods and services to the business, and how our small but diligent driveway cleaners workforce is trained and monitored to uphold ethical labour standards.

Zero-tolerance policy and responsibilities

Our zero-tolerance policy is clear: any evidence of modern slavery will result in immediate investigation and appropriate action, including termination of contracts. Managers and supervisors are responsible for ensuring that every local driveway cleaner understands the policy and knows how to raise concerns.

Supplier audits and risk management

We perform risk-based supplier audits to ensure ethical compliance across our supply chain. Audits include documentation checks, worker interviews where feasible, and verification of labour standards for materials such as cleaning solutions, equipment and rental vehicles. Our supplier due diligence includes:

• Pre-engagement screening: verification of identity, ownership and labour practices.
• Periodic audits: scheduled checks and spot inspections of suppliers and subcontractors.
• Corrective action plans: required remediation steps if issues are found, monitored to completion.

Where suppliers operate in higher risk sectors or regions, we increase audit frequency and require enhanced transparency. We use contractual clauses to set expectations and retain the right to terminate contracts where remediation is not satisfactory.

Reporting channels and protection for whistleblowers

We provide secure and accessible reporting channels for any worker, supplier or member of the public to raise concerns about modern slavery. Reports can be made through anonymous or named channels and will be treated in confidence. We strongly protect reporters from retaliation and ensure impartial investigations. Our staff are trained to recognise red flags, such as restricted movement, unusually poor pay, or third-party control of wages.

Training, awareness and continuous improvement

All employees, including our mobile driveway cleaning teams, receive training on modern slavery risks and our reporting procedures. We review and update training materials regularly and encourage a culture of vigilance. Strong leadership ensures lessons learned from audits and incidents inform policy updates and procurement decisions.

Annual review and public accountability

We commit to an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and our policies. This review examines audit results, incident reports, training completion rates and supplier performance. Findings will shape an action plan for the following year to strengthen safeguards against exploitation. The review process includes stakeholder input where appropriate and documents changes to procedures.

Our continuing commitments

As a small but responsible local driveway cleaners business, we will continue to embed social responsibility into every aspect of our operations. We require our suppliers to align with our standards and support workers’ rights. If modern slavery concerns arise, we will act promptly and transparently to protect affected people and remediate harm.

Monitoring and escalation

We maintain documented records of audits, risk assessments and remediation activities. Serious findings are escalated to senior management and recorded for the annual review. Where necessary, we cooperate with law enforcement and authorities while preserving the dignity and safety of affected individuals.
