Modern Slavery Statement
Our Commitment to Preventing Modern Slavery
London House Clearance is committed to conducting its operations ethically, responsibly and with respect for human rights. We recognise that modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking are serious global issues, and we take a zero-tolerance approach to any form of exploitation within our business or supply chain.
As a waste removal and clearance company operating across London, we understand our responsibility to ensure that our activities, partnerships and procurement practices uphold high ethical standards. This statement outlines the steps we take to prevent modern slavery and to promote fair, lawful and respectful working conditions.
Our Business and Supply Chain
London House Clearance provides house clearance, rubbish removal and waste collection services across the London area. Our operations rely on a combination of directly employed staff and carefully selected suppliers, including waste facilities, recycling partners and service providers.
While our supply chain is relatively short, we remain aware that risks can exist at any level. We therefore take proportionate and practical steps to assess and manage these risks as part of our ongoing operations.
Zero-Tolerance Policy
We operate a strict zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking. Any form of exploitation is unacceptable and contrary to our values.
All individuals working for or on behalf of London House Clearance are expected to act with integrity and respect for human rights. This expectation extends to suppliers and partners, who must demonstrate lawful and ethical employment practices.
Staff Awareness and Training
We aim to ensure that staff are aware of the risks and indicators of modern slavery. While our business does not operate in high-risk sectors, awareness is important in identifying concerns should they arise.
Our management team remains alert to signs of exploitation, including unusual working arrangements, lack of documentation or signs of coercion. Where concerns are identified, they are taken seriously and addressed promptly.
Supplier Due Diligence and Audits
London House Clearance works only with suppliers and partners that operate within the law and demonstrate responsible business practices. As part of our supplier selection and review process, we consider ethical standards alongside operational suitability.
Where appropriate, suppliers may be asked to confirm their compliance with relevant employment laws and regulations. We reserve the right to review, audit or discontinue relationships with suppliers that fail to meet our expectations regarding ethical conduct.
Reporting Concerns and Whistleblowing
We encourage open communication and transparency. Staff and stakeholders are encouraged to report any concerns related to unethical behaviour or potential modern slavery risks without fear of retaliation.
Concerns can be raised through established internal reporting channels. All reports are treated seriously, investigated appropriately and handled with confidentiality where possible.
Responding to Identified Risks
If evidence or suspicion of modern slavery is identified within our operations or supply chain, London House Clearance will act promptly. This may include suspending work, engaging with relevant authorities or terminating supplier relationships where necessary.
Our priority is to ensure that any identified risk is addressed responsibly and that affected individuals are protected wherever possible.
Annual Review and Ongoing Improvement
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains accurate and reflects our current practices. As our business evolves, we will continue to assess potential risks and strengthen our policies where needed.
London House Clearance is committed to continuous improvement in ethical standards, transparency and accountability. We recognise that preventing modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility and remain dedicated to playing our part in upholding human rights.
