Modern Slavery Statement — Office Clearance Greenwich
Office Clearance Greenwich is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our approach to ensuring that our work as a professional office clearance in Greenwich provider, and the actions of our partners, never involve forced labour, debt bondage, or other forms of exploitation. We declare a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery and require all staff and contractors to adhere to these principles.
We operate across a wide range of commercial and public sector contracts and recognise our responsibility as a local employer in the Greenwich area. Our zero-tolerance stance is backed by clear policies, contractual clauses and expectations embedded into procurement and operational procedures. All employees and contractors are made aware that the organisation will not tolerate any behaviour that could constitute slavery or trafficking, and breaches will lead to disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
This statement applies to Office Clearance Greenwich and all subsidiaries, agents and supply chains engaged in Greenwich office clearance work. We regularly assess the risk of modern slavery occurring within our activities and in the businesses of our suppliers. Our commitment includes ongoing communication of standards and a requirement for suppliers to confirm compliance with anti-slavery obligations as part of supplier onboarding and contractual renewal processes.
To ensure compliance we undertake a programme of supplier audits and due diligence. Our supplier audit process includes:
- document checks to confirm right-to-work and appropriate employment records;
- site visits and assessments for higher-risk suppliers involved in manual labour, waste handling and logistics;
- contractual clauses requiring immediate reporting of any human rights concerns;
- remedial action plans and follow-up reviews where potential issues are identified.
Supplier Audits and Due Diligence
We tailor our supplier audits to the nature and location of services. For suppliers to our Greenwich office clearance projects, we prioritise transparency in subcontracting chains, payment practices and working conditions. Where risks are identified, we work collaboratively to secure improvements: we do not tolerate suppression of worker rights and expect corrective measures to be implemented promptly.
All contracts for office clearance in Greenwich include clauses that allow us to conduct inspections, request records and require corrective action. We train procurement and contract managers on how to identify indicators of exploitation and how to escalate concerns. Our procurement policies favour suppliers who demonstrate ethical labour practices and are willing to participate in regular audits.
Reporting Channels and Annual Review
Office Clearance Greenwich provides multiple reporting channels for staff, contractors and third parties to raise concerns confidentially and securely. Individuals can use internal reporting lines, anonymous hotlines managed by third parties, and protected whistleblowing procedures. Reports are taken seriously, investigated promptly and treated with strict confidentiality to protect reporters and victims.
We ensure that all reports of suspected modern slavery are escalated to senior management and, where appropriate, referred to external authorities. Our reporting channels are supported by training for managers on victim-sensitive responses, safeguarding, and cooperation with law enforcement and NGO partners where needed. Retaliation against anyone who raises concerns in good faith is strictly forbidden.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually as part of our governance cycle. The annual review considers audit outcomes, reported incidents, supplier performance and changes in legislation or best practice. Results of reviews inform updates to our policies, training, and supplier engagement strategy. As a provider of Greenwich office clearance services, we remain resolute in our commitment to ethical operations and continuous improvement. Office Clearance Greenwich will continue to invest in audits, staff training and collaborative supplier management to reduce risks of exploitation across our business and supply chains.
