Modern Slavery Statement — Tarmac Driveway Cleaning Commitment
Introduction: This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the commitments and measures adopted by our tarmac driveway cleaning operation to prevent modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking across our services, including tarmac drive cleaning and full tarmac driveway cleaning services. We recognise our responsibility to uphold human rights and maintain ethical standards in every stage of driveway tarmac cleaning and maintenance.
We operate with a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery. All staff, contractors and tarmac driveway cleaners are expected to comply with our standards. Our approach integrates risk-based due diligence in recruitment, on-site operations and supplier relationships to reduce the likelihood of exploitation in the supply chain.
Policy Framework and Commitments
Our policy is clear: there is no place for slavery in the tarmac driveway clean sector. Zero tolerance means active prevention, swift investigation and proportionate remediation. We require all personnel and suppliers to adhere to the policy and confirm compliance through formal declarations and training.Supplier Management and Audits
We conduct regular supplier audits and risk assessments for our supply chain, covering raw materials, subcontracted labour and logistics used in driveway tarmac cleaning. Supplier due diligence includes documentation checks, on-site visits where practical, and performance scoring. High-risk suppliers receive enhanced scrutiny and corrective action plans.Key supplier audit activities include:
- Verification of worker documentation and lawful employment status;
- Assessment of working hours, wage practices and health & safety measures;
- On-site inspections and third-party audits for high-risk service providers.
Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing
We maintain multiple, confidential reporting channels to ensure concerns about forced labour or exploitation can be raised without fear of reprisal. Staff and third parties involved in tarmac driveway cleaning services are encouraged to report issues through internal reporting mechanisms and anonymous channels. Reports are investigated promptly by trained personnel and escalated to senior management when necessary.To support reporting we emphasise clear protections: whistleblower safeguards, non-retaliation policies and timely feedback to reporters where feasible. Investigations follow documented procedures to ensure fairness and thoroughness. Where misconduct is confirmed, we apply decisive corrective measures including contract termination and law enforcement referral as appropriate.
Training and Awareness
We provide targeted training for employees and contractors involved in tarmac driveway maintenance and cleaning, covering modern slavery indicators, labour rights and reporting obligations. Training is refreshed periodically and adapted to the operational realities of the field, including seasonal and subcontracted teams.
Annual Review and Continuous Improvement
Our Modern Slavery Statement for tarmac driveways cleaning is reviewed at least annually to reflect changes in legal obligations, operational risks and industry best practice. The annual review includes an evaluation of:
- audit outcomes and supplier performance,
- reported incidents and investigation results,
- effectiveness of training and awareness programmes.
Findings from these reviews inform action plans that strengthen prevention, detection and remediation. We set measurable objectives for the coming year, monitor progress and report internally on key metrics.
Governance and Responsibility: Senior management retains ultimate responsibility for implementing this policy. Operational leads for tarmac driveway cleaning oversee daily compliance, while procurement ensures supplier obligations are enforced through contractual clauses and audit rights.
Conclusion: Our organisation remains steadfast in its commitment to eliminate modern slavery from our operations and supply chain. Through a robust zero-tolerance stance, rigorous supplier audits, secure reporting channels and an annual review cycle, we strive to ensure ethical practices across all aspects of tarmac driveway cleaning and related services.
