Modern Slavery Statement for Oil Stain Removal Driveway Services
We declare a clear and ongoing commitment to preventing modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking in all aspects of our oil stain removal driveway operations. This statement explains our approach to supply chain management, expected behaviours from partners and internal controls designed to ensure ethical working conditions across services including driveway oil stain removal and related maintenance tasks.Zero-Tolerance Policy
Our organisation maintains a zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery. We explicitly prohibit the use of forced, bonded, or indentured labour in every part of our business and contractor network. All staff, sub-contractors and suppliers engaged in oil-stain removal for driveways must adhere to our code of conduct which mandates fair pay, freedom of movement and proper employment terms. Non-compliance will result in contract termination and corrective action.
We recognise that the risk of exploitation can be present in manual and subcontracted cleaning, maintenance and surface treatment roles. To address this, we implement robust selection criteria for suppliers, require contractual warranties against forced labour, and apply due diligence in recruitment and procurement for all driveway cleaning and oil stain remediation activities.
Supplier Audits and Due Diligence
Our supplier audit programme is risk-based and proportionate to the scale and location of supplier activities. For providers of driveway oil stain removal services we carry out:- Pre-engagement checks on employment practices and right-to-work documentation;
- Periodic on-site and remote audits focusing on worker welfare and subcontractor arrangements;
- Verification of pay and working hours and review of recruitment fees and labour brokers.
Audit findings are recorded and shared with suppliers along with clear remediation timelines. Suppliers that repeatedly fail to meet our standards will be suspended or removed from our approved vendor list. We require corrective action plans and follow up until compliance is demonstrated.
Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing
We provide multiple confidential reporting channels to enable workers, suppliers and third parties to raise concerns about suspected exploitation in any stage of the oil stain removal driveway supply chain. Reports may be made anonymously and are treated seriously. Allegations are investigated promptly by trained personnel and appropriate remedial steps are taken, including support for affected individuals. Our approach protects whistleblowers from retaliation and ensures fair investigation procedures.We also emphasise supplier responsibility: partners must maintain accessible grievance mechanisms for their workforce and supply evidence of effective worker engagement and remedy processes for the labour force involved in driveway oil stain removal projects.
Monitoring & Performance: We track key performance indicators such as audit completion rates, corrective action closure, and the number of reports raised and resolved. These metrics inform management action and highlight areas where additional support, training or policy changes are required to protect workers across all oil-stain removal for driveways activities.
Annual Review and Continuous Improvement
We commit to an annual review of our modern slavery controls, policies and supplier engagements related to oil stain removal and driveway maintenance. This review evaluates the effectiveness of our zero-tolerance stance, supplier audits and reporting channels, and identifies opportunities to strengthen due diligence, training and remediation procedures. Findings are reported internally to senior leadership to ensure governance and accountability.We provide regular training for procurement, operations and supervisory staff to increase awareness of modern slavery risks in driveway cleaning and oil stain removal work. Training covers recognising indicators of exploitation, steps to report concerns and how to respond to incidents compassionately and lawfully.
