Modern Slavery Statement for Pressure Washing Services

Pressure Washing operations and related pressure-wash activities are committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our business. This statement sets out our approach to reducing the risk of exploitation across our workforce, contractors and supply chain for pressure washing and related cleaning services.

We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, servitude, child labour, or human trafficking within our service delivery. Our commitment extends to passive and active contractors engaged in pressure washing, pressure-wash maintenance and supply partners. We require everyone who delivers or influences our Pressure-Washing operations to uphold these standards in spirit and practice.

Our policy is clear: no worker should be subjected to exploitation. We will not knowingly engage or retain suppliers that permit coercive or abusive practices. All employees, subcontractors and vendors supporting pressure washing projects are required to comply with our code of conduct, local labour laws and international standards. Any breach of this policy may lead to immediate termination of contractual relationships and referral to appropriate authorities.

Supplier Expectations and Due Diligence

We set strict standards for suppliers of equipment, detergents, labour and logistics for pressure wash assignments. Suppliers must demonstrate lawful employment practices, transparent recruitment, and clear pay and hours records. Our procurement clauses for pressure washing materials and services include anti-slavery representations and warranties.

Supplier audits form a core part of our mitigation strategy. We conduct periodic and risk-based assessments that include:

• Document reviews of payroll, identity checks and recruitment contracts for pressure wash crews.
• On-site inspections of supplier premises where pressure-wash equipment is stored or staff are recruited.
• Interviews with workers where safe and feasible to confirm freely given consent to work.
• Verification of sub-supplier chains for chemicals, hoses and rental services that support pressure washing activities.

Findings from audits are tracked, and corrective action plans are required. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate suppliers who fail to remedy confirmed breaches of our anti-slavery requirements.

Reporting Channels and Protection

We provide multiple, confidential reporting channels for concerns related to exploitation within pressure washing projects. Workers and third parties can report suspected modern slavery without fear of retaliation. Reports are investigated promptly, fairly and with due regard to the safety of whistleblowers.

Reporting options include anonymous internal hotlines, secure email submissions and designated compliance officers trained to handle sensitive disclosures. When an allegation concerns our pressure-wash subcontractors, we will suspend those services where necessary while an investigation is underway. Protection and remedial support for potential victims is prioritised, and we will work with relevant authorities and NGOs when specialized assistance is required.

We invest in training for managers and field teams involved in pressure washing to recognise signs of exploitation and to follow clear escalation procedures. Recruitment practices for our pressure wash crews emphasise direct hiring, transparent contracts and the prohibition of third-party fees that can trap workers in debt.

Annual review and continuous improvement: this statement is reviewed at least once every 12 months to ensure alignment with evolving legal requirements and best practices in preventing modern slavery in pressure washing, pressure-wash operations and allied services. Our annual review includes an assessment of audit results, incident reports, supplier performance and the effectiveness of our training and reporting mechanisms.

Governance: senior management and the compliance team are accountable for delivering on the commitments outlined in this statement. Key performance indicators include the number of supplier audits completed, corrective actions closed, and worker-awareness training completion rates for pressure wash teams. These metrics inform board-level oversight of anti-slavery risks within pressure washing activities.

Remediation: where modern slavery risks are identified, we seek to remediate harm in partnership with appropriate stakeholders, balancing the need to protect victims, uphold legal obligations, and ensure sustainable improvements in supplier practices that support pressure washing and maintenance contracts.

By publishing this Modern Slavery Statement focused on our pressure washing and related operations, we reaffirm our unwavering commitment to eradicating exploitation from our business and supply chain. This is a zero-tolerance position and we will continue to strengthen our controls, audits, reporting channels and annual review processes to protect people across every link of our pressure wash activities.
