Modern Slavery Statement — Office Clearance South Kensington

Office Clearance South Kensington is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our business. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our approach and the steps we take to ensure that the provision of South Kensington office clearance services upholds the highest ethical standards. We operate a zero-tolerance policy toward forced labour, child labour and any form of exploitation.

Our senior leadership endorses a culture where respect for human rights is central to business operations. We maintain clear policies and training to ensure that employees, contractors and partners understand that office clearance in South Kensington must be carried out legally and ethically. All staff receive induction and refresher training to recognise indicators of exploitation and to understand the processes available for raising concerns.

We have a formal zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery which is embedded in our code of conduct and procurement policies. This policy applies across our service delivery for Office Clearance — South Kensington and covers recruitment, subcontracting and supplier relationships. We require all colleagues and service providers to comply with our standards, and any breach results in swift investigation and corrective action.

To reduce risk in our supply chain we implement robust supplier audits and due diligence processes. Key elements include:

• Pre-engagement screening of suppliers for compliance with labour and human rights standards;
• Contractual clauses requiring adherence to our anti-slavery policies and the right to audit;
• Regular on-site and remote audits to verify working conditions and records.

Our supplier audit programme is proportionate to the level of risk and the nature of the supply relationship. For higher-risk suppliers involved in logistics, manual handling or waste processing associated with South Kensington office clearance, we carry out enhanced checks and on-the-ground visits. Findings from audits are logged, and suppliers are required to provide action plans where non-compliance is identified.

We operate clear reporting channels to encourage the prompt reporting of concerns. Employees and third parties can report suspected modern slavery through anonymous or named channels, and all reports are treated with confidentiality and seriousness. Reports are triaged by our compliance team, with escalation to senior management when required.

Our reporting channels include an internal hotline, secure email reporting and a line manager referral process. We emphasise protection from retaliation for anyone raising concerns in good faith. Investigations are conducted impartially, and where evidence supports concerns of exploitation, we work with authorities and specialist organisations to ensure appropriate remediation for affected individuals.

We integrate modern slavery risk management into procurement and contract management for all office clearance in South Kensington projects. This includes supplier scorecards, periodic reviews, and training for procurement teams to identify risks during tendering and contract performance. Remediation measures can include contract termination, remediation requirements, and longer-term capacity building with partners.

This statement is subject to an annual review to ensure that our policies, audit processes and reporting channels remain effective and aligned with evolving best practice. The review examines audit outcomes, incident reports, supplier performance and staff training completion rates. We set measurable objectives each year to continuously strengthen our response to modern slavery risks.
