Clearances London Modern Slavery Statement

Clearances London publishes this Modern Slavery Statement to confirm our absolute commitment to preventing slavery, servitude and forced labour in all parts of our operations and supply chain. We operate a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery or human trafficking. This anti-slavery declaration applies across our services, procurement, contractors and partners, and sets out the steps we take to identify, prevent and remedy any risk of exploitation.

Our corporate standards require that every colleague and supplier understands the expectations set out in this modern slavery policy. We communicate clear contractual obligations that prohibit bonded labour, withholding of identity documents or unlawful retention of wages. As part of our ongoing commitment to a robust anti-slavery approach, Clearances London publishes procedures for reporting concerns and enforces disciplinary measures where breaches are found. We expect compliance at all levels and take swift action when concerns are identified.

Due Diligence, Supplier Audits and Responsible Sourcing

We conduct targeted due diligence and supplier checks to reduce the risk of slavery and human trafficking in our supply chains. Our procurement policy integrates human rights screening, risk-based assessment and continuous monitoring. We carry out supplier audits and site visits where appropriate, using a mix of documentation reviews, on-site inspections and follow-up corrective action plans. These checks form part of our wider corporate responsibility and compliance framework and reflect our stance as an anti-slavery company.

• Supplier audits: Regular scheduled and ad-hoc audits to verify compliance with labour standards and contractual anti-slavery clauses.
• Corrective actions: Time-bound remediation plans for suppliers that show non-compliance, escalating to contract termination for persistent breaches.
• Risk-based approach: Prioritisation of higher-risk categories, geographies and sub-contractors for enhanced scrutiny.

Reporting Channels, Protection and Whistleblowing

Clearances London maintains multiple confidential reporting channels to encourage prompt disclosure of suspected slavery or trafficking. Our whistleblowing arrangements protect reporters from retaliation and allow anonymous reports where needed. Employees, contractors and third parties are urged to raise concerns through internal compliance lines or via designated reporting routes. We treat all allegations seriously, investigate impartially and apply proportional remedial measures, including collaboration with external agencies when appropriate.

We emphasise training and awareness-raising across the business to ensure that staff and supply partners can recognise indicators of forced labour, coercion or exploitation. Training modules, policy briefings and supplier workshops reinforce our expectations under this modern slavery statement and related policies. We also promote transparency by documenting audit outcomes and remediation progress within our governance processes. Our procurement teams are equipped to enforce contractual terms and escalate non-compliance.

Clearances London performs an annual review of our Modern Slavery and anti-exploitation measures to assess effectiveness and identify improvements. That review covers audit results, complaint handling, training uptake, supplier performance and emerging risks. Findings are reported to senior management and used to update policies, due diligence procedures and supplier engagement strategies. We remain vigilant and will continually strengthen our approach to combat slavery, human trafficking and any related abuses across our business and sourcing network.
