Modern Slavery Statement — Office Clearance Sudbury Commitment

Office Clearance Sudbury (also operating under Sudbury office clearance and office clearance in Sudbury) sets out a clear, corporate-wide approach to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in our business and supply chains. This statement explains our zero-tolerance stance, the measures we take to identify and reduce risks, and our promise to review progress each year. We are committed to upholding human rights across all activities related to office removal, clearance and disposal.

Zero-Tolerance Policy and Corporate Principle

Our company maintains a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, debt bondage, human trafficking or exploitation. All employees, contractors and partners are expected to adhere to this policy. The board of Office Clearance Sudbury endorses this position and requires line managers to implement controls that align with our values. The policy applies to the entire organisation, including our subcontractors used for Sudbury office clearance services.

We require everyone working on behalf of our business to be treated fairly, paid appropriately and to have the freedom to leave employment. We operate a whistleblowing-friendly environment and take allegations seriously. Reports are investigated promptly and where violations are found we will take strong corrective action, which may include termination of relationships with suppliers or contractors who fail to comply.

Supplier Due Diligence and Regular Audits

Our supplier management programme for office clearance suppliers includes rigorous due diligence and regular audits. We assess potential and existing partners for risk factors such as unusual labour practices, reliance on recruitment fees, and poor record-keeping. Key elements include:

• Pre-engagement screening to confirm legal status, references and labour practices;
• Contract clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery standards;
• Risk-based on-site and remote audits to verify working conditions and payroll records.

Audits are conducted by trained procurement and compliance staff, and where necessary by independent third parties. Findings are recorded, and suppliers must submit remediation plans within prescribed timeframes. Persistent non-compliance results in escalation up to de-listing. This auditing regime supports our aim to ensure the entire clearance value chain — including transport, waste processing and storage — meets our standards.

Reporting Channels and Confidentiality

We provide multiple reporting channels for employees, subcontractors and third parties to raise concerns about potential modern slavery. Reports can be made internally via line managers or HR, and through anonymous channels maintained by the company. All reports are treated confidentially and investigated without retaliation. We encourage early reporting to enable timely intervention and support for vulnerable individuals.

Our incident management process ensures alleged breaches are assessed, investigated and, where substantiated, result in remediation and, if necessary, referral to enforcement agencies. We maintain records of investigations and outcomes to inform continuous improvement.

For all recruitment related to Sudbury office clearance projects, we verify identity documents, monitor working hours, and confirm payment methods to minimise risks. We prohibit charging fees to workers and require suppliers to do the same.

We conduct ongoing risk assessments that examine geographic, sectoral and transactional risk. Key performance indicators include supplier audit completion rates, corrective action closure time, and the number of training hours delivered to staff and partners. These metrics help ensure that our anti-slavery measures are effective and proportionate to identified risks associated with office removal and clearances in the Sudbury area.

Training and awareness are essential to preventing modern slavery. We deliver regular training to operational teams, procurement staff and managers to help them spot signs of exploitation and understand reporting obligations. Materials are updated to reflect evolving legislation and best practice in the industry.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement This statement is reviewed at least once annually by the senior leadership team to assess policy effectiveness, audit outcomes and incident records. We commit to continuous improvement, updating our approach to supplier audits, reporting channels and remediation processes as new risks emerge. The board formally approves the annual modern slavery review and reaffirms our commitment to ethical, transparent office clearance services in Sudbury and surrounding communities.

In conclusion, Office Clearance Sudbury is committed to preventing modern slavery across its operations and supply chain. We maintain a clear zero-tolerance policy, conduct systematic supplier audits, provide secure reporting channels and undertake an annual review to strengthen our practices. We will continue to act decisively where issues are identified and work with partners to promote safe, fair and legal labour standards for all those involved in office clearance activities.

Signed on behalf of the board — commitment to compliance, transparency and the protection of human rights remains central to how we operate our office clearance and removal services in Sudbury.
