Modern Slavery Statement — Driveway Cleaning Company Commitment

Our pledge as a driveway cleaning business

As a dedicated driveway cleaning company, we recognise our responsibility to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in all parts of our operations and supply chain. This modern slavery statement explains our policies, actions and ongoing commitment to ensure that our driveway cleaning services are delivered ethically and transparently.

Scope and purpose

This statement applies across our local operations, subcontractors and suppliers who support the driveway cleaning services we provide. It sets out how we identify, mitigate and report risks associated with forced labour, exploitation and other forms of modern slavery in the residential and commercial driveway cleaning sector.

Zero-tolerance policy

We enforce a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery. All employees, temporary workers and contractors are expected to operate in line with our values and legal obligations. Any instance of coercion, withholding wages, deceptive recruitment, or restrictions on movement will trigger immediate disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment or contract.

To support this policy we require that every member of our team and every partner engaged in providing driveway cleaning, including subcontracted driveway cleaners and external labour providers, signs and acknowledges our code of conduct. We provide training to ensure staff recognise the signs of exploitation and know the correct steps to escalate concerns.

Supplier due diligence and supplier audits

We conduct robust supplier assessments and regular supplier audits to ensure compliance with anti-slavery standards. Our supplier audit programme for driveway cleaning contractors includes:

• Contractor verification — identity and labour right checks for new suppliers.
• Document reviews — employment records, wage payments and recruitment practices.
• On-site inspections — working conditions and hours for crew performing driveway cleaning.
• Corrective action plans — mandatory remediation steps where non-compliance is identified.

Reporting channels and whistleblowing

We maintain secure reporting channels that allow employees, subcontractors and members of the public to raise concerns confidentially about possible modern slavery or exploitation within our driveway cleaning operations. Reports are taken seriously and investigated promptly. The reporting process is supported by:

• Confidential helpline for staff to report suspicions; • Anonymous reporting option for third parties; and • Clear escalation pathways to senior management for urgent matters. We protect whistleblowers from retaliation and provide support during investigations.

Training, communication and continuous improvement

Our training programme for the driveway cleaning sector ensures that managers and crew understand their obligations under this statement. We integrate modern slavery awareness into induction and ongoing training sessions, emphasising how to spot risks in both routine driveway cleaning jobs and specialised cleaning projects.

Annual review and governance

We review this modern slavery statement annually to reflect any changes in our operations, supply chains or risk profile as a driveway cleaner. The governance process includes internal audits, performance metrics from supplier audits, and updates to policies where required. Senior management signs off on the statement each year, ensuring accountability and continued commitment to eradicate modern slavery from our activities and supply chain.

Conclusion

As a responsible driveway-cleaning company, we are committed to upholding human rights and to taking practical measures to prevent exploitation. Through a clear zero-tolerance stance, regular supplier audits, secure reporting channels and an annual review cycle, we aim to maintain a supply chain and workplace free from modern slavery and trafficking.
