Modern Slavery Statement — Office Clearance Poplar

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the commitments and actions of Office Clearance Poplar to prevent forced labour, human trafficking and other forms of modern slavery in our operations and supply chain. We recognise the responsibility that comes with providing ethical office clearance and waste management services across Poplar and the surrounding areas. Our policy is clear: exploitation has no place in our business or with any of our partners.

Our Zero-Tolerance Policy

Office Clearance in Poplar operates a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. We will not knowingly engage with suppliers or sub-contractors who exploit workers. All personnel, contractors and stakeholders involved with Poplar office clearance activities are expected to act in accordance with this policy and report concerns without delay. Any breach will result in immediate action, including termination of contracts.

To give effect to this position we maintain clear standards and controls. These include pre-engagement checks, mandatory declarations by suppliers, contractual clauses prohibiting slavery, and regular verification of labour practices. Office clearances Poplar is committed to continuous improvement and transparency in how we manage risk across our operations and when coordinating clear-outs, removals and recycling services.

Supply Chain Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

We recognise that risks can arise through supply chains, so we use a risk-based approach to supplier assessments for Poplar office clearance projects. Suppliers are evaluated on ethical criteria, employment practices and traceability. Where needed, we perform supplier audits to validate information and ensure compliance with our standards.

Supplier audits for Poplar office clearance and related services include document reviews, site visits, and worker interviews where appropriate. Audits are conducted by trained personnel or independent third parties and focus on payroll transparency, working hours, recruitment practices and health and safety. Non-conformances are recorded, and corrective action plans are required.

Audit Frequency and Corrective Measures

Audit frequency varies by risk level: high-risk suppliers are audited annually, medium-risk every two years, and low-risk as part of ongoing monitoring. Where issues are found we take proportionate actions up to and including contract termination. Our supplier code of conduct and contractual clauses explicitly prohibit forced labour and set expectations for remedial timelines and verification.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing — We encourage all employees, contractors and partners involved in office clearance Poplar operations to report any concerns. Multiple confidential reporting channels are available internally, and reports are treated seriously and investigated promptly. We support anonymous reporting and ensure there are no reprisals for good-faith disclosures.

To support these channels we provide regular training and awareness sessions for staff and suppliers on recognising signs of modern slavery and how to use reporting routes without fear. Records of reports, investigations and outcomes are maintained securely and reviewed to identify systemic improvements. We aim to foster a culture where ethical reporting is part of everyday practice.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

Office Clearance Poplar conducts an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and associated policies. The review evaluates the effectiveness of our zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, reporting mechanisms and training. Findings from the annual review inform updates to risk assessments, procurement practices and supplier engagement strategies. We are committed to evolving our approach to eradicate modern slavery from our operations and supply chains.
