Modern Slavery Statement for commercial driveway jet washing

Our organisation is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our commercial driveway jet washing operations. This statement sets out our approach to ensuring ethical practices across our driveway pressure washing and commercial jet washing services, reflecting a zero-tolerance stance against exploitation.

Scope and commitment

We apply this policy across direct employees, subcontractors and supply chains involved in driveway power washing, pressure cleaning and ancillary services. Our responsibilities include assessment of labour practices, recruitment conditions and the safeguarding of vulnerable workers. We recognise the risk areas and commit to continuous vigilance and action.

Zero-tolerance policy

We maintain a clear, zero-tolerance policy on all forms of modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking. Any instance identified within our commercial driveway pressure cleaning activities will be investigated and remediated. Employees and suppliers found in breach face termination and legal reporting.

To deliver this, we embed contractual clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery standards in all supplier agreements for driveway jet cleaning materials, equipment hire and labour provision. These clauses stipulate immediate remedial action and termination rights where necessary.

Supplier audits and due diligence

We conduct regular supplier audits and risk assessments for suppliers to our commercial driveway jet washing service lines. Audits include:

• Document checks for employment records and right-to-work evidence
• On-site inspections of working conditions and subcontractor practices
• Interviews with workers to confirm fair conditions and voluntary employment

Audit frequency is determined by risk rating, with high-risk suppliers audited more frequently. Findings trigger corrective action plans and, where necessary, contractual sanctions.

Reporting channels and whistleblowing

We provide multiple secure reporting channels for staff, subcontractors and third parties to raise concerns about forced labour or exploitation within our driveway pressure washing and commercial jet washing operations. Reports can be made anonymously through designated internal mechanisms and are handled promptly and confidentially.

Protection for reporters is assured: we forbid retaliation and promote a culture where raising concerns is encouraged. All reports are logged, triaged and, where appropriate, escalated for investigation and external referrals.

Training on identifying signs of modern slavery, for those working in driveway power washing and supervisory roles, is mandatory and refreshed regularly to ensure awareness and effective use of reporting channels.

We align our processes with international standards and engage with industry partners to improve transparency in the supply chain for commercial driveway pressure cleaning. Contractual requirements compel suppliers to maintain worker records, provide safe working conditions and adhere to legally required wages and hours.

Where breaches are found, we seek immediate remediation prioritising victim safety and recovery, while preserving evidence for legal action. We will terminate relationships when remediation is ineffective or non-compliance is severe.

Governance and responsibilities

Oversight for the implementation of this modern slavery statement rests with senior management. Managers responsible for our commercial driveway jet washing contracts must ensure supplier compliance, staff training and the integrity of reporting systems.

Annual review: We commit to an annual review of this policy and related procedures to measure effectiveness, update risk assessments and refine supplier audit programs. Results of reviews inform revisions to contracts, controls and training materials.

In conclusion, our organisation is resolute in eliminating modern slavery from our commercial driveway jet washing activities. Through a combination of a zero-tolerance policy, rigorous supplier audits, secure reporting channels and an annual review process, we will continue to strengthen protections for workers and promote ethical business practices across our operations.
