Modern Slavery Statement — Office Clearance Lee

Office Clearance Lee is committed to the highest standards of ethical conduct. We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking and any form of forced labour across our operations and supply chain. Our Lee office clearance teams and partners must comply with this policy, which is central to our business values and procurement choices. We recognise our responsibility as a provider of office clearance services in Lee and as an employer to prevent exploitation and protect the dignity of workers.

Our Zero-Tolerance Approach

We maintain a clear, uncompromising stance: no tolerance for slavery, forced or bonded labour, servitude, or human trafficking in any part of our business. All employees, contractors and contractors' staff engaged in Office Clearance Lee activities are expected to observe and enforce this position. The policy extends to recruitment, engagement of temporary labour and subcontracting arrangements. Any breach will result in disciplinary action and, where appropriate, termination of contracts.

To make this practical, we have implemented the following measures:

• Risk assessment: regular risk mapping of suppliers and operational locations for indicators of exploitation.
• Supplier commitments: mandatory anti-slavery clauses in contracts with our suppliers and sub-contractors, including Lee Office Clearance partners.
• Verification: pre-engagement checks and ongoing supplier audits to confirm compliance.

Supply Chain Due Diligence

Our procurement teams apply stringent checks when engaging suppliers for Office Clearance Services Lee. We adopt a risk-based approach, prioritising higher-risk suppliers and activities for enhanced scrutiny. Where appropriate, we require evidence of labour rights compliance, documentation of worker identity checks and proof of lawful employment practices. Lee office clearance procurement decisions consider social as well as environmental and economic factors.

Supplier audits are a core element of our compliance framework. Audits are conducted by trained personnel or independent third parties and include document review, site inspections and, where permitted, confidential worker interviews. Audit findings are graded and lead to mandatory corrective action plans. Repeat or severe non-compliance results in suspension or termination of contracts with the offending supplier, reflecting our zero-tolerance policy.

We also maintain an approved supplier list and require that subcontractors used by primary suppliers meet our standards. The measures for supplier oversight include:

• Regular on-site or remote audits;
• Requesting third-party certifications where relevant;
• Contractual right to audit and remediate;
• Capacity-building support for vulnerable suppliers to meet compliance requirements.

To ensure concerns are raised and addressed, we operate robust reporting channels. Employees, contractors, suppliers and other stakeholders involved in Office-Clearance Lee activities can raise concerns through anonymous internal reporting mechanisms and via designated reporting lines. Reports are treated confidentially and investigated promptly. Whistleblowing protections are in place to safeguard those who report in good faith.

Training and awareness are integral to preventing modern slavery. All relevant staff, including site crews and management within Lee Office Clearance operations, receive regular training on recognising signs of exploitation, how to report concerns and their obligations under this statement. Training materials are updated to reflect evolving risks and regulatory expectations.

Monitoring, Review and Continuous Improvement

We review this Modern Slavery Statement and our practices on an annual basis. The annual review examines incident reports, audit outcomes, supplier performance and changes in law or best practice. Improvements identified through monitoring and stakeholder feedback are incorporated into our policies and procedures. This statement will be revised as necessary and republished to reflect progress and renewed commitments to eradicate modern slavery from our operations and supply chain.
