Office Clear London Modern Slavery Statement

Office Clear London statement header graphicOffice Clear London is committed to a zero-tolerance policy towards slavery, servitude, forced labour and human trafficking. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines our approach to preventing modern slavery across our operations and supply chain. We set clear expectations that all workers engaged by or on behalf of Office Clear London are treated with dignity and respect, and that any form of exploitation is unacceptable.

Our anti-slavery statement applies to all employees, contractors and suppliers. The scope of this modern slavery policy covers direct operations and indirect procurement, including suppliers of goods, services and temporary labour. We prioritise transparency and accountability, embedding ethical procurement principles and strong contractual commitments in our supplier relationships.

A row of three large wheelie bins used for rubbish collection, positioned side by side on a concrete surface in an outdoor area. The first bin on the left is bright yellow with a smooth plastic finish, featuring a black handle on the front and black lid hinges. The middle bin is blue, similarly made of plastic with a glossy surface, and has a black handle and lid hinges. The third bin on the right is green, matching the others in material and finish, with a black handle and hinges as well. All three bins are equipped with black caster wheels at the base for mobility and are situated against a background featuring a corrugated metal wall, with the upper portion partially visible. The environment appears to be an industrial or commercial space, typical of rubbish collection points in London, where rubbish removal services such as those by Office Clear London operate. The bins are clean and free of visible waste, aligned in a straight row, ready for collection or disposal, with natural daylight illuminating the scene.

Supplier Standards and Due Diligence

We require suppliers to comply with our slavery and human trafficking statement and expect them to maintain high standards of labour rights. Our supplier code of conduct sets out mandatory requirements and we carry out proportionate supplier audits and risk assessments to identify and mitigate potential risks. Where concerns are identified, we act swiftly to remediate issues and, if necessary, terminate relationships with non-compliant partners.

To strengthen our approach we implement structured supplier audits which include documentary checks, site visits and interviews where appropriate. Audit findings inform corrective action plans and ongoing monitoring. Office Clear London integrates modern slavery risk indicators into procurement decision-making and evaluates suppliers on both ethical and operational grounds.

Three dark green, heavy-duty rubbish bags filled with waste, placed on the edge of a grey tarmac road in a residential area. The bags are situated next to a low stone wall with some small green plants and rocks, and there is a white wall behind them. To the right, part of a grey, decorative metal gate and a drainage grate are visible on the pavement. The scene appears to be in an urban environment, possibly in London, with the bags prepared for collection. The overall setting is clean and orderly, typical of a council or commercial rubbish removal service serving local properties, such as those provided by Office Clear London, in the postcode area near the town.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We maintain clear reporting channels so that concerns about slavery or human trafficking can be raised safely and confidentially. Employees and third parties are encouraged to report suspicions without fear of retaliation; all reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and escalated to senior management. Anonymous reporting is available to protect individuals who may be vulnerable or at risk.

Our grievance procedures are designed to facilitate remediation for affected individuals. We collaborate with external experts and, where needed, refer matters to appropriate authorities to ensure robust and lawful responses. Strong governance ensures that reporting outcomes are used to improve controls and supplier performance over time.

We publish regular supplier performance reviews and maintain a programme of continuous improvement. Key elements include contractual clauses prohibiting forced labour, mandatory compliance attestations, and targeted training for procurement teams and site managers to recognise indicators of exploitation.

A young male waste management worker wearing a blue safety helmet, a high-visibility yellow vest over a blue shirt, and black gloves, stands indoors in a warehouse or industrial facility with large metal framework. Behind him, there is a pile of assorted scrap metal and debris, including rusted metal sheets, pipes, and other discarded materials, indicating a rubble or waste collection site. The environment is well-lit with natural or artificial light, highlighting the textures of the materials and the worker's attire. The setting suggests a site for rubbish or scrap removal, reflective of services provided by companies like Office Clear London operating in the UK. The worker is smiling confidently, conveying professionalism and readiness for rubbish clearance tasks typical in waste removal services across London and nearby areas.Our procurement policy incorporates specific audit processes and escalation pathways. Typical measures include:

  • Pre-engagement screening to assess risk in sourcing decisions;
  • Periodic supplier audits and follow-up reviews to verify compliance;
  • Corrective action plans with defined timelines and accountability.

A row of three large industrial rubbish bins situated outdoors on a paved surface adjacent to a grassy area, with a modern glass building in the background. The bins are made of heavy-duty plastic; the one on the left is green with a closed lid, and the other two are open, overflowing with mixed waste including cardboard boxes, plastic bags, and miscellaneous refuse. Some of the waste is spilling onto the ground, with visible cardboard carton sides, plastic containers, and paper packaging. Four yellow plastic bollards line the front of the bins, separating them from the grassy lawn, which appears well-maintained. Shadows cast by nearby trees indicate daytime, and the scene overall reflects a typical refuse disposal setup near commercial premises in London or the surrounding region, consistent with the rubbish removal services provided by Office Clear London.

Annual Review and Oversight

In the event of identified breaches of this modern slavery and human trafficking statement, we will take decisive and proportionate action that prioritises victim protection, legal compliance and prevention of recurrence.
