Modern Slavery Statement — Flat Clearance Gunnersbury

Flat Clearance Gunnersbury is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations. This statement sets out our policies and the practical steps we take to ensure that forced labour, child labour, and human exploitation do not form part of our business or supply chains. We operate with a clear and unequivocal stance: we will not tolerate modern slavery in any form.

Our zero-tolerance policy is embedded in our corporate values and is communicated to every employee and contractor. All staff, contractors and partners engaged in Gunnersbury flat clearance services are expected to adhere to this policy. We recognise the vulnerability of certain supply chain activities in the waste handling, clearance and local removals sectors, and have taken steps to mitigate those risks.

This statement applies to Flat Clearance Gunnersbury and all subsidiaries, contractors and suppliers engaged to deliver flat clearance in Gunnersbury or related services. We require suppliers to operate to the same standards we set for ourselves and to declare any instances of forced labour or trafficking that they may encounter. Our approach is proactive: we carry out due diligence before entering contracts and maintain ongoing oversight through procurement conditions and supplier engagement.

Supplier due diligence and audits

We maintain a risk-based supplier audit programme designed to identify and address potential modern slavery risks. Our procurement team undertakes documented checks on new suppliers and repeats assessments for higher-risk suppliers at regular intervals.

• Risk assessment: Suppliers are screened for business model, labour provisions and jurisdictional risk.
• On-site and remote audits: We conduct scheduled and unannounced checks depending on risk level.
• Corrective action: If non-compliance is found, we mandate remediation plans or terminate relationships where necessary.

Reporting channels and protections

Flat Clearance Gunnersbury provides secure reporting channels for concerns about slavery and human trafficking. Workers, contractors and third parties can raise concerns confidentially and anonymously where desired. We treat all reports seriously, investigate promptly and protect whistleblowers from retaliation. Any credible allegation triggers an immediate review and appropriate action, which can include internal disciplinary measures or referral to relevant authorities.

Our procurement contracts include specific clauses that require suppliers to confirm compliance with anti-slavery laws and to permit audits. We include training for procurement and operations staff to recognise the signs of exploitation and to apply robust contract management. Continuous awareness-raising ensures that those involved in Gunnersbury flat removals know how to escalate concerns and what to expect in response.

We have clear governance and accountability: senior management reviews compliance matters and ensures that findings from audits and reports inform operational changes. Non-compliance with our anti-slavery commitments is treated as a serious breach of contract. Where appropriate, we will pursue contractual remedies, require remedial action plans, and if necessary remove suppliers from our approved list.

Annual review and continuous improvement — This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least once every 12 months. The annual review includes an assessment of our supplier audit outcomes, the number and nature of reports received, remediation activity and the effectiveness of our training and procurement controls. Results are used to refine risk assessments, improve supplier engagement and strengthen reporting channels. We aim to build increasingly resilient and transparent supply chains for flat clearance services in Gunnersbury and surrounding areas.

We commit to ongoing monitoring, increased supplier collaboration, and targeted training to reduce the risk of modern slavery in our operations. Employees and contractors receive regular updates and mandatory training modules to ensure continued awareness of the risks and the obligations under law and company policy.

Our leadership endorses this statement and supports the resourcing necessary to implement these commitments. The zero-tolerance stance underpins procurement decisions, contractual obligations and the actions we take following audits or reports of concern.

Flat Clearance Gunnersbury will continue to strengthen its due diligence, audit programmes and reporting mechanisms, and to conduct an annual review to measure progress. We remain resolute in our duty to prevent modern slavery and to promote safe, fair and legal working conditions across our services and supply chain.
