Clearance London Modern Slavery Statement
Clearance London affirms a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and forced labour across our operations and supply chain. This Modern Slavery Statement explains our commitment to preventing slavery and human trafficking in all forms and outlines the steps we take to identify, assess and mitigate modern slavery risks.Our commitment and scope
We recognise the responsibility to act on slavery and human trafficking. Our modern slavery policy applies to all employees, contractors and suppliers engaged by Clearance London and covers both direct operations and third-party relationships. We require every partner to adhere to our standards and to cooperate with due diligence, monitoring and remediation processes.
Enforcement and supplier audits
We operate a programme of supplier audits and assessments to evaluate compliance with our standards. Key audit activities include:- Verification of worker contracts, wages and working hours to prevent forced or exploitative labour;
- On-site and remote inspections, including third-party and unannounced audits;
- Supply chain mapping to identify high-risk tiers and geographies.
Reporting channels and whistleblowing
We maintain confidential reporting channels to ensure concerns about modern slavery, forced labour or other breaches can be raised safely and investigated promptly. Employees and third parties can report issues through secure, anonymous mechanisms and all reports are treated seriously, with protections in place against retaliation. Reports are investigated and appropriate corrective actions are taken where necessary.
Due diligence and risk assessment
Our due diligence process for modern slavery risk assessment combines supplier questionnaires, on-site checks and third-party data sources. We prioritise high-risk suppliers and functions for deeper scrutiny. This contemporary slavery risk approach includes remediation plans, contractual requirements and follow-up audits to confirm corrective measures.Training and awareness We provide regular training on slavery and human trafficking to our staff and procurement teams to promote vigilance and understanding of indicators of modern slavery. We emphasise continuous improvement and learning to ensure our anti-slavery practices remain robust and up to date.
Expectations of suppliers
Clearance London expects all suppliers to comply with laws and to adopt policies consistent with ours. Suppliers must prohibit forced labour, human trafficking and exploitative practices. Non-compliance may lead to remediation requirements or termination of contracts. We require suppliers to demonstrate transparency and to allow audits and inspections as part of ongoing oversight.We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of slavery and have established escalation procedures when issues are identified. These include immediate risk mitigation, support for affected workers and collaboration with local authorities and specialist organisations when appropriate. Our approach to modern slavery and human trafficking is proactive, seeking to prevent harm before it occurs.
