Modern Slavery Statement — Office Clearance Hoxton

Office Clearance Hoxton is committed to eliminating modern slavery and human trafficking from its operations and supply chains. This statement sets out our policies, due diligence and the practical steps we take to ensure that our Hoxton office clearance activities and related services do not involve forced labour, child labour, or other forms of exploitation. We apply a zero-tolerance policy to any form of modern slavery.

Scope and Commitment

Our commitment covers all employees, contractors and partners engaged in office clearance in Hoxton and adjacent areas. We recognise that Hoxton office clearance services can involve multiple subcontractors and materials handling suppliers, so we require adherence to our standards at every level. We will not tolerate exploitation and will act swiftly if concerns arise, using proportionate remedies and contractual responses.

Key Measures

To mitigate risk across our supply chain we implement the following actions:

• Supplier audits: Regular reviews and on-site checks of suppliers and subcontractors.
• Contract clauses: Mandatory anti-slavery provisions in all supplier agreements.
• Risk assessments: Ongoing assessment focused on activities most vulnerable to exploitation.

Supplier Audits and Monitoring

Our supplier audit programme for Hoxton office clearance and wider clearance operations includes document reviews, worker interviews where appropriate, and physical inspections. We prioritise audits for suppliers with higher risk profiles, such as those providing manual labour, logistics or specialized disposal services. Audits evaluate working hours, wage compliance, recruitment practices and the presence of any coercive practices.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Employees, subcontractors and third parties can report concerns through multiple internal channels. We maintain confidential reporting routes, a clear escalation process and a commitment that reports will be investigated promptly and impartially. Reports may be made anonymously and will be handled without retaliation. We encourage reporting of any suspicion relating to Hoxton office clearance or other office clearance Hoxton activities.

Training and Awareness

We provide targeted training for staff and key suppliers on recognising signs of modern slavery and appropriate responses. Training covers recruitment safeguards, permitted deductions, and how to use our reporting channels. Managers receive additional guidance on investigating allegations and supporting affected individuals. We emphasise prevention through education and continuous awareness-building across our operations.

Remediation, Contracts and Compliance

Where breaches are identified we will take immediate and proportionate action, which may include supplier improvement plans, suspension or termination of contracts. Our standard procurement contracts for Hoxton office clearance services contain explicit anti-slavery warranties and audit rights. We require suppliers to demonstrate ongoing compliance and to permit access for verification.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

We undertake an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and our related policies, processes and audits. The review assesses the effectiveness of supplier audits, the uptake of training, the robustness of reporting channels and the outcomes of investigations. Findings from the annual review inform enhancements to our approach, ensuring stronger protection against modern slavery in our Hoxton office clearance operations and across all office clearance services we coordinate.

Governance and Final Statement

The senior leadership of Office Clearance Hoxton endorses this statement and is accountable for its implementation. We are committed to transparency and continual improvement, and we will update this statement annually to reflect progress and new measures. By maintaining a zero-tolerance stance, robust supplier audits, secure reporting channels and an annual review cycle, we seek to ensure that our Hoxton office clearance business remains free from modern slavery and human trafficking.
