Modern Slavery Statement for Pressure Washing Services

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the commitment of our company to eradicate forced labour, human trafficking and other forms of modern slavery from our operations and supply chain for pressure washing services. We operate across residential and commercial exterior cleaning projects and recognise the responsibility to ensure that every person involved in our pressure washing activities is treated with dignity and free from exploitation. Our approach is underpinned by a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery.

We apply clear standards in procurement and subcontracting for power washing services, requiring suppliers and subcontractors to comply with labour laws and human rights standards. Our employment policies prohibit forced labour, debt bondage, the withholding of identity documents and exploitative recruitment practices. These policies apply to all who work with us in power washing services, including temporary staff, casual workers and third-party contractors.

We expect suppliers of pressure-wash services and equipment to demonstrate transparent staffing practices and lawful pay structures. Suppliers must provide records and documentation on payroll, working hours and recruitment agents on request. Our contract terms include clauses to allow audits, remedial action and termination for breaches related to modern slavery in any part of the supply chain for pressure cleaning services.

We undertake proportionate due diligence before engaging suppliers and regularly thereafter. This includes risk assessments of suppliers who provide labour, transport, chemicals or subcontracting for commercial pressure washing. Risk factors considered include the origin of labour, third-country recruitment, supply chain complexity and geographic indicators of higher modern slavery risk.

Our supplier audit program uses documentary checks, on-site inspections and third-party assessments. Where audits reveal concerns, we require corrective action plans, monitor implementation and, if necessary, cease relationships with non-compliant partners. We also build long-term supplier relationships to encourage improved practices rather than short-term avoidance.

Key elements of our prevention and monitoring framework include:

• Regular supplier audits and risk-based site visits for contractors used in pressure washing and exterior cleaning operations.
• Contractual provisions that mandate compliance with anti-slavery laws and allow remedial measures.
• Training for procurement and operations staff to spot signs of exploitation in the pressure washing supply chain.

We maintain accessible reporting channels so concerns about modern slavery can be raised safely and confidentially. Employees, suppliers and the public may use internal reporting mechanisms and whistleblowing processes to report suspected exploitation relating to our pressure washing operations. Reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and records are retained. Protection from retaliation is afforded to those who report in good faith.

Our remediation approach is victim-focused. When modern slavery is identified, we act to secure the safety and wellbeing of affected individuals, cooperate with authorities and ensure appropriate remedies are pursued. Remediation may include working with local agencies, adjusting supplier practices or terminating relationships where corrective action is refused.

This statement will be reviewed at least annually to reflect changes in our operations, evolving risks in the pressure washing sector and lessons learned from audits and reports. The review process involves senior management, procurement and compliance teams and considers new measures such as enhanced supplier vetting, additional training and strengthened contractual terms. We remain committed to continuous improvement and will update our policies and practices to ensure that our pressure washing services and associated supply chains remain free from modern slavery.
