Modern Slavery Statement — Bethnal Green House Clearance

Bethnal Green House Clearance sets out this Modern Slavery Statement to confirm our ongoing commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking across our operations and supply chain. This statement reflects a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, exploitation or human trafficking in connection with our domestic and commercial house clearance activities. We commit to clear, enforceable standards and continuous action to identify and mitigate risk.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

At Bethnal Green house clearance we operate a zero-tolerance policy that applies to all employees, contractors and suppliers. We will not tolerate any acts of modern slavery, whether in our own operations or within the networks of businesses that supply goods and services. Senior leadership maintains active oversight and ensures our policy is embedded into procurement, contract management and everyday decision-making.

We apply thorough supplier due diligence and regular supplier audits to ensure compliance. Our supplier audit programme for Bethnal Green clearance services includes:

• Scheduled documentation reviews and self-assessments.
• On-site inspections for higher-risk suppliers.
• Targeted audits triggered by reported concerns.
• Corrective action plans and follow-up verification.

Standards, Expectations and Contracts

We require all suppliers to adhere to our Supplier Code of Conduct which sets out clear expectations regarding labour standards, working conditions and ethical procurement. Suppliers must provide verifiable evidence of employment practices, legal right to work checks and transparent wage records. Where necessary we use contractual clauses that allow us to audit, suspend or terminate relationships for breaches. These measures are non-negotiable and underscore our commitment to ethical house-clearance operations.

To strengthen compliance we provide training for staff and deliver periodic awareness sessions for our contractors. Reporting channels are promoted internally and externally so that concerns about exploitation can be raised quickly. We maintain confidential and secure reporting mechanisms and ensure whistleblowers are protected from retaliation.

Our due diligence framework for BG House Clearance combines risk assessment, supplier audits and corrective actions. We prioritise suppliers operating in higher-risk jurisdictions and those providing manual or labour-intensive services. Where audits identify non-compliance, we implement remedial steps including training, time-bound improvement plans and, if necessary, disengagement.

Reporting channels and escalation procedures are clearly defined. Employees, subcontractors and third parties can raise concerns through anonymous reporting lines or directly to designated compliance officers. All reports receive a timely, documented response and are investigated by trained personnel. We do not tolerate retaliation and have procedures to protect anyone who raises a genuine concern in good faith.

Supplier audits are carried out at intervals determined by risk profile: routine reviews for low-risk partners, annual audits for medium-risk and more frequent or surprise audits for high-risk suppliers. Audit findings feed into performance reviews and contract decisions for Bethnal Green house-clearance partners. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate contracts where breaches of our modern slavery standards are confirmed.

Annual review and continuous improvement are central to our approach. Each year we perform a comprehensive review of our policies, audit outcomes and remediation activities. This annual review assesses effectiveness, updates risk assessments and refines our action plan for the coming year. Progress is documented internally, metrics are tracked and improvement targets are set to ensure measurable reduction in identified risks.

Remediation and victim support are addressed promptly where exploitation is identified. We collaborate with appropriate authorities, NGOs and support services to ensure affected individuals receive secure assistance and that corrective measures prevent recurrence. Our approach balances firm enforcement with responsible remediation and support for those harmed.

Leadership at Bethnal Green clearance remains accountable for implementing this statement. We will continue to strengthen supplier audits, expand training, and enhance reporting channels to uphold our zero-tolerance stance. Our commitment is to maintain transparent, responsible and ethically managed house clearance operations across every part of our business.

Signed by senior management, this Modern Slavery Statement is published to demonstrate our determination to combat modern slavery and to drive continual improvement in responsible procurement and labour practices within all Bethnal Green clearance services.
