Office Clearance Millbank Modern Slavery Statement

Office Clearance Millbank is committed to a zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. This modern slavery statement sets out our approach to preventing forced labour, child exploitation and servitude across our operations and supply chains. We take a proactive stance and require all staff and contractors to understand their role in upholding our standards.

We operate a clear zero tolerance approach that applies to every part of our business. Our modern slavery policy is embedded into induction training and continuous professional development, and leadership regularly reinforces these standards. Staff are trained to identify signs of exploitation and to escalate concerns immediately through our internal reporting channels.

Our Office Clearance Millbank anti-slavery and human trafficking procedures include routine checks on working conditions, hours, remuneration and worker freedom of movement. Suppliers and subcontractors must adhere to our Supplier Code of Conduct and confirm compliance with labour laws and human rights expectations as part of contract formation.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

We conduct risk-based due diligence and periodic supplier audits to verify compliance with our modern slavery commitments. Audits cover recruitment processes, payroll records, accommodation practices and health and safety standards. Where higher risk is identified, we increase monitoring frequency and require corrective action plans.

Our supplier engagement includes contractual clauses, pre-qualification questionnaires and on-site assessments. We use remote and in-person audits, third-party verification and worker interviews where practical. These processes are designed to detect indicators of forced labour or debt bondage and to remediate issues quickly and transparently.

Key controls include:

• Pre-contract risk assessments focused on geography and sectoral risk
• Regular supplier performance reviews and follow-up audits
• Mandatory supplier acknowledgement of anti-slavery commitments

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We provide multiple secure reporting channels so employees, suppliers and third parties can report concerns without fear of retaliation. Reports are treated confidentially and investigated by trained compliance officers. We do not tolerate reprisals against anyone raising concerns in good faith.

All allegations are triaged and, where necessary, referred to law enforcement or specialist support services. We document findings, implement corrective actions and track outcomes to ensure effective remediation. Our reporting framework aligns with best practice and statutory expectations for supplier transparency and worker protection.

We publish an annual statement that reviews our progress on combating modern slavery, summarises audit findings, and outlines improvement plans. The statement reflects our commitment to continuous improvement and accountability to stakeholders while maintaining privacy and protection for affected individuals.

Governance for this modern slavery declaration sits with senior management and is supported by cross-functional teams in procurement, HR and compliance. Responsibilities include supplier onboarding checks, audit oversight, training delivery and incident response. We maintain clear escalation routes to ensure timely management involvement when issues arise.

Annual review: Each year we review and update our policies, due diligence processes and supplier audit programme. The annual review assesses effectiveness, integrates lessons learned and strengthens controls where gaps are identified. Outcomes are reported to executive leadership to ensure sustained focus and resource allocation.

Office Clearance Millbank remains committed to eradicating modern slavery from our business operations and supply chains. We will continue to refine our approach, collaborate with partners and maintain a robust, enforceable stance against exploitation in any form.
