Modern Slavery Statement for Commercial Tarmac Cleaning and Site Hygiene
Our Commitment to Ethical Commercial Tarmac Cleaning
Our organisation maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy on modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our commercial tarmac cleaning operations. We recognise that cleaning car parks, driveways and industrial forecourts — whether described as commercial tarmac cleaning, tarmac maintenance for commercial sites or asphalt surface cleaning — carries responsibilities to protect workers and vulnerable individuals. This statement outlines actions taken to prevent exploitation across our supply chain and service delivery.
We apply this zero-tolerance approach to every contract, supplier and subcontractor engaged in our tarmac cleaning services. All employees, contractors and partners are expected to adhere to our code of conduct which explicitly prohibits forced labour, bonded labour, and any form of coercion. The policy is communicated during recruitment, onboarding and contract negotiation to ensure awareness of obligations for everyone involved in our commercial tarmac-cleaning programmes.
Supplier accountability is reinforced through planned supplier audits and risk-based assessments. We conduct audits of vendors supplying labour, equipment, chemicals and waste disposal services associated with our tarmac cleaning operations. Audits examine recruitment practices, payroll records, identity document handling, working hours and accommodation conditions where applicable. Where risk indicators are identified, we take immediate corrective actions including:
- Verification of employment documentation and right-to-work checks
- On-site interviews and worker welfare reviews
- Mandatory corrective action plans with defined timelines
Due Diligence, Monitoring and Training
Our due diligence process for commercial tarmac cleaning suppliers involves pre-engagement checks and ongoing monitoring. We evaluate suppliers on their policies, training provision, and previous compliance records. Training for procurement staff and on-site supervisors covers recognising signs of exploitation and applying escalation procedures. We also ensure that health and safety and fair pay practices are integral to our assessments of tarmac cleaning contractors.
Reporting channels are clearly established and accessible to every worker engaged in or affected by our operations. We maintain multiple secure and confidential reporting routes to encourage disclosures without fear of retaliation. These include internal incident reporting mechanisms, anonymous reporting options and escalation to independent third-party advisors when necessary. Reports are investigated promptly and objectively, and we commit to protecting whistleblowers and supporting vulnerable individuals identified during investigations.
As part of our continuous improvement for tarmac cleaning services, we carry out an annual review of all policies and procedures related to modern slavery. The annual review assesses audit outcomes, incident reports, training completion rates and supplier performance metrics. Findings are used to update risk assessments and to refine contractual clauses to ensure stronger protections for labour standards. Where suppliers fail to remediate serious non-conformances, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate agreements.
In summary, our modern slavery statement for commercial asphalt cleaning and associated services reflects a firm commitment to ethical conduct across our operations. We employ a combination of proactive supplier audits, clear reporting channels, staff training and an annual review cycle to reduce the risk of exploitation. We will not tolerate modern slavery in any form, and we pledge to act decisively when issues are identified.
Key elements of our approach include:
- Zero-tolerance policy made explicit in contracts and procurement policies
- Regular supplier audits and targeted due diligence
- Multiple secure reporting channels and protective measures for whistleblowers
- Annual review and continuous improvement of commercial tarmac-cleaning governance
We will publish updates on the implementation of these measures and document outcomes from our audits and reviews as part of our ongoing commitment to transparency and responsible supply chain management for all commercial tarmac cleaning and site maintenance activities.
