Clearance London Modern Slavery Statement

Clearance London is committed to preventing all forms of modern slavery and labour exploitation across our operations and supply chain. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our approach, including a zero-tolerance policy, supplier oversight, and the channels available for reporting suspected incidents. As a responsible organisation operating in the UK and internationally, we acknowledge the risk of forced labour, human trafficking and other unethical practices and we are resolute in our response.

Our Zero-Tolerance Policy

We adopt a clear and uncompromising stance: we will not tolerate any form of slavery or forced labour in our business or with our suppliers. All employees and contractors are required to adhere to our anti-slavery code of conduct. We train staff to identify and escalate concerns and integrate anti-slavery obligations into contractual terms. This commitment to anti-slavery principles underpins our culture and decision-making.

Scope and Risk Assessment

We conduct regular reviews of our operations and procurement categories to identify where risks of modern slavery and labour exploitation may arise. Our risk assessments consider region, sector, workforce composition and subcontracting layers. We prioritise high-risk product lines and geographies for immediate action and continuous monitoring.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits — We require our suppliers to comply with our anti-slavery standards and to commit to ethical labour practices. Our supplier program includes:

• Pre-engagement screening and risk-based onboarding;
• Regular contractual clauses mandating compliance with anti-slavery laws;
• Periodic on-site and remote audits focused on labour conditions, worker documentation and recruitment practices;
• Corrective action plans where non-compliance is identified and follow-up verification.

We use a mix of internal audit teams and independent third-party auditors to validate compliance. Audits examine recruitment fees, freedom of movement, wage records and working hours to detect indicators of forced labour or human trafficking.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing — Clearance London maintains multiple confidential channels for raising concerns about suspected modern slavery or exploitation. Employees, suppliers and third parties are encouraged to report issues without fear of retaliation. Reports can be made anonymously where local law permits.

We take each report seriously. Allegations are triaged, investigated promptly and proportionate remedial actions are applied. Where required, we cooperate with enforcement authorities and support victims through remediation and referral to specialist services, while ensuring legal and safety obligations are met.

Ongoing Improvement and Annual Review — This modern slavery statement is reviewed at least annually by senior management and the board to ensure effectiveness. We track performance through key metrics such as audit coverage, number of supplier corrective actions completed, and training completion rates. Findings from reviews inform policy updates, enhanced supplier engagement and targeted training programs.

Governance and Responsibilities

Responsibility for anti-slavery measures sits with executive leadership supported by procurement, HR and compliance teams. We ensure clear ownership of action plans, documented escalation pathways and routine reporting to governance bodies.

Collaboration and Continuous Action

Clearance London collaborates with industry groups, civil society and auditors to strengthen responses to forced labour and human trafficking. We share best practices and evolve our supplier audit methodology to reflect emerging risks and legal developments in modern slavery legislation.

We are committed to transparency in our Modern Slavery Statement and will continue to enhance our approach through supplier audits, strengthened reporting channels, and an annual review cycle that drives measurable improvements across our organisation and supply chain.
