Modern Slavery Statement — Office Clearance Blackwall

Office Clearance Blackwall is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our operations. This zero-tolerance policy applies to employees, contractors, partners and suppliers engaged in office clearance and related services across Blackwall and surrounding areas. We recognise that slavery, forced labour and exploitation are grave violations of human rights and accept responsibility to take proactive steps to identify and mitigate those risks in the workplace.

Our policy sets out clear expectations for behaviour, recruitment and supply chain oversight. We require that all team members understand their duties to report concerns, and we provide mandatory training on modern slavery awareness. Office clearance in Blackwall activities are planned and executed with respect for the dignity of workers, and the company will not tolerate any practice that involves coercion, abuse or withholding of wages.

We require our suppliers and subcontractors to adhere to our standards. As part of supplier due diligence we assess risks and enforce contractual clauses that prohibit forced labour. Key elements include:

• Verification of employment terms and lawful right to work
• Transparent recruitment practices and no fees charged to workers
• Commitment to fair pay and safe working conditions

We operate a programme of supplier audits and spot checks for all procurement related to Blackwall office clearance projects. Audits combine document reviews, site visits and interviews to confirm compliance with our standards. Where risks are identified, we develop remediation plans with clear timelines. Repeated or severe breaches may lead to termination of contracts and removal from our approved supplier list. Blackwall office clearance partners must cooperate fully with these processes.

Supplier monitoring is complemented by internal controls including regular reporting to senior management and the Board. We use contract clauses to require suppliers to provide transparent records on recruitment, working hours and pay. Our procurement team maintains a risk register and prioritises high-risk suppliers for enhanced checks. We also encourage suppliers to undertake their own assessments and share best practices to prevent exploitation.

To ensure effectiveness, we integrate performance metrics into supplier relationships and procurement decisions. These include audit outcomes, incident reports and completion of corrective actions. We apply a graded response to non-compliance, offering support where practical and decisive action where necessary to protect workers and the integrity of our services.

Office Clearance — Blackwall operates clear reporting channels for concerns relating to modern slavery. All staff and third parties are encouraged to raise concerns through anonymous and confidential routes. Reports are investigated promptly by trained personnel, and we ensure that anyone reporting in good faith is protected from retaliation. The company provides support to affected individuals, including referral to specialist services where appropriate.

We provide regular training and communication to staff and contractors to ensure awareness of reporting procedures. For high-risk operations, we require pre-engagement briefings and periodic refreshers. The organisation publishes an annual review of measures taken to combat modern slavery in our supply chain and operations; this review informs continuous improvements to policies and procedures.

This statement is endorsed by senior leadership and will be reviewed at least once every 12 months as part of our annual review. It reflects our ongoing commitment to ethical practice across all office clearance activities in Blackwall and beyond. We will continue to strengthen supplier oversight, enhance reporting mechanisms and invest in training to ensure that exploitation has no place in our business.
