Modern Slavery Statement for Moss Removal Driveway Services

Our commitment to eradicating modern slavery in all aspects of our moss removal driveway operations is unwavering. We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards forced labour, human trafficking and any form of exploitation across our moss removal driveway activities and related services. This statement outlines the measures we take to prevent modern slavery in our direct work, our supply chains and during driveway moss removal projects.

Our policy applies to everyone engaged in our business: employees, contractors, subcontractors and suppliers. We recognise that driveway moss removal and driveway moss removal services often involve manual labour and subcontracted work, so we focus on clear contractual expectations, worker welfare and compliance with labour laws. We require adherence to ethical standards as a condition of engagement.

To ensure consistent standards across our supply chain, we maintain supplier codes of conduct and contractual clauses prohibiting modern slavery. Key actions include:

• Periodic supplier risk assessments targeting areas such as labour sourcing and subcontracting.
• Mandatory representation by suppliers that they do not use forced or bonded labour.
• Clarifying expectations for suppliers engaged in moss and algae removal on driveways and related material supply.

Due Diligence, Supplier Audits and Risk Management

We conduct ongoing due diligence to identify, prevent and mitigate modern slavery risks associated with moss removal for driveways. This includes supplier audits, background checks and documentation reviews tailored to the specific risks of moss removal for driveways. Our supplier audits evaluate recruitment practices, wage payment records and working conditions. Non-compliance triggers corrective action plans and, where necessary, contract termination.

Reporting channels are essential to discover and address concerns. We provide multiple safe methods for raising issues about potential modern slavery, available to workers, suppliers and the public. These channels are confidential and allow anonymous reporting. Reports are investigated promptly by trained personnel and escalation pathways are in place to ensure appropriate action, including referral to authorities when required.

We provide training to our teams and contractors to improve awareness of modern slavery indicators specific to driveway maintenance and moss management. Training covers how to use reporting channels, recognise signs of exploitation and support affected individuals. Our procurement teams receive additional instruction on conducting supplier audits and interpreting documentation.

Monitoring, Remediation and Annual Review

We monitor effectiveness through performance metrics related to supplier compliance rates, audit outcomes and the number and resolution of reports received about driveway moss removal activities. Where issues are identified we implement remediation plans focused on worker protection, prompt restoration of rights and preventing recurrence. Remediation may include finding alternative employment, securing back pay or terminating exploitative contracts.

Each year we perform an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and our procedures. The review evaluates changes in risk, audit results and the effectiveness of reporting channels. We update our policies, supplier contracts and training materials based on review findings to strengthen controls for all aspects of our driveway moss removal and driveway care operations.

In conclusion, our organisation is committed to continuous improvement in preventing modern slavery across the full spectrum of moss removal services for driveways. We pledge to uphold ethical labour practices, conduct robust supplier audits, maintain secure reporting channels and complete an annual review to confirm progress. This statement is part of our wider approach to responsible, transparent and humane operations in every driveway moss removal project we undertake.
