Modern Slavery Statement — Clearance Rubbish

Clearance Rubbish publishes this Modern Slavery Statement to set out our commitment to preventing slavery, servitude, forced labour and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. Our modern slavery policy reflects a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery and explains the practical steps we take to identify, assess and mitigate risks. This statement applies to all employees, contractors and partners and is reviewed regularly to ensure continued compliance with the highest ethical standards.

We are committed to embedding the principles of the modern slavery statement into our corporate governance and everyday practices. Our senior management team champions this cause and we maintain clear responsibilities across our leadership to ensure policies are implemented effectively. All procurement and commercial teams receive training to recognise indicators of exploitation and to uphold our ethical sourcing expectations.

Our zero-tolerance approach means that any confirmed instance of modern slavery will result in immediate remedial action, which may include termination of supplier relationships, internal disciplinary processes, and cooperation with law enforcement where appropriate. The company will not benefit from or tolerate any labour practices that compromise the dignity, freedom or safety of workers.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

Clearance Rubbish maintains a robust supplier due diligence programme to assess risks across our supply chain. We conduct tiered risk assessments and apply enhanced scrutiny to high-risk suppliers and jurisdictions. Our supplier audit process includes documentation reviews, on-site inspections where feasible, and third-party verification. We use a combination of contract clauses, supplier self-assessments and independent audits to monitor compliance.

Key elements of our supplier audit and monitoring framework include:

• Risk-based screening of new and existing suppliers to identify potential exposure to forced labour.
• Contractual commitments requiring suppliers to adhere to our anti-slavery standards and to permit audits.
• Corrective action plans when non-compliance is detected, with time-bound remediation and escalation protocols.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We provide secure and confidential reporting channels for employees, suppliers and third parties to raise concerns about suspected human rights abuses. Our whistleblowing process is designed to protect reporters from retaliation, and reports are investigated promptly and impartially by trained professionals. Multiple reporting routes are available, including anonymous mechanisms, which help ensure that potential violations are brought to light.

In addition to internal channels, Clearance Rubbish encourages workers and stakeholders to use third-party reporting services if they prefer independent oversight. All reports of potential modern slavery are triaged, logged and subject to a formal investigation workflow. Where appropriate, we work with external experts and NGOs to support victims and to strengthen remediation outcomes.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

Clearance Rubbish undertakes an annual review of its modern slavery and human trafficking policies, supplier audit results and remediation activities. This review assesses the effectiveness of existing controls, identifies emerging risks and sets priorities for the coming year. Results are analysed to drive continuous improvement, inform training programmes and update contractual requirements. We also benchmark our performance against industry best practices and regulatory developments to ensure our modern slavery policy remains current and impactful.

Through this slavery and human trafficking statement, Clearance Rubbish reaffirms our commitment to respect human rights across our operations and supply chain. We take a proactive stance—combining a clear zero-tolerance policy, rigorous supplier audits, accessible reporting channels and a disciplined annual review—to prevent modern slavery, remediate issues where they arise, and promote a safe, fair and ethical working environment for all.
