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.

A group of three volunteers standing outdoors, dressed in bright green T-shirts featuring a white recycling symbol on the front. The woman in the center has dark hair styled in loose waves, smiling confidently with arms crossed. To her left, a woman with long dark hair also smiles, with arms crossed, and to her right, a man with a beard and short hair, smiling broadly with arms crossed as well. They are positioned on a paved area, possibly in a park or urban environment, with a neutral background that suggests a community or campaign event focused on environmental awareness and waste recycling, aligning with rubbish removal initiatives by companies like Clearance London in the local area.

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.

A woman with long brown hair, wearing a grey t-shirt and black pants, is sitting cross-legged on a wooden floor in a bright living room. She is holding a clear plastic recycling bin with a green recycling symbol on the side, and she appears to be placing or removing a translucent plastic bottle from the bin. Behind her, a cream-colored sofa with armrests is visible, along with light curtains allowing natural daylight into the space. The scene conveys an environment of waste segregation and recycling, extending the context of rubbish management within a domestic setting that could relate to professional rubbish removal services often operating across areas like London or Ingfield, Sussex, where Clearance London provides local support for waste disposal and recycling needs.

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.

Two dark grey plastic wheelie bins with fitted lids are positioned on a paved surface, likely outside a property. The bin on the left appears closed with a black lid, while the bin on the right has its lid partially open, revealing an orange-handled tool or object inside. These bins are situated in an outdoor area with a blurred background that suggests a driveway or pavement leading away from the foreground, possibly in a residential or suburban setting. The surface beneath the bins is made of concrete or similar paving material, and there are faint marks or scuffs visible on the bins' surfaces. The scene is lit with natural daylight, creating soft shadows and highlighting the texture of the bins' smooth, matte finish. This image demonstrates typical waste management equipment used in urban environments, relevant to services provided by companies like Clearance London for rubbish removal in the region. The focus on the waste containers emphasizes their role in waste collection and clearance activities within the local area near postcode [POSTCODE], which may correspond to a town in London or Greater London.

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.

A person wearing a light blue t-shirt is seen disposing of electronic waste into a large green rubbish bin. The bin is filled with various discarded electronic items, including a desktop computer with its tower case, multiple CDs or DVDs, a digital camera, and several cords and small electronic components. The scene appears to be outdoors, possibly on a driveway or near a residential property, with the bin positioned on a concrete surface. The person’s hands are visible, actively placing an electronic device into the bin, suggesting a responsible disposal of electronic waste in accordance with proper rubbish collection practices. This image illustrates the type of waste clearance services provided by Clearance London, focusing on the proper and environmentally conscious removal of electronic and household rubbish in the local area. The environment looks well-lit, with natural daylight highlighting the textures of the electronic items and the vivid green of the bin, reinforcing the importance of appropriate waste management for rubbish removal in London.

Annual review and governance

This modern slavery and human trafficking statement is reviewed annually by senior management and the board to ensure effectiveness and alignment with evolving legal requirements and best practice. The annual review evaluates audit findings, remediation outcomes, training uptake and the performance of reporting channels. Clearance London will continue to refine its policies and supplier audit programme, publishing updates to reflect progress. We remain committed to eradicating forced labour and protecting human rights across our operations.
