Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement for Jet Washing Services
Jet Washing operations and the broader jet washing industry must be conducted ethically and transparently. This statement sets out our commitment to preventing modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking across our cleaning, pressure cleaning and power jet washing activities. We adopt a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of exploitation, and this document explains our approach to supplier oversight, reporting channels and continual review.
Our Zero-Tolerance Policy
We will not tolerate modern slavery in any part of our jetwash services or supply chain. All employees, contractors and partners are required to comply with this policy. We impose clear employment standards for wages, working hours and the right to leave employment. Breaches of this policy are treated as gross misconduct and may result in contractual termination, legal action and reporting to relevant authorities.
Scope and Definitions
For the purposes of this document, "modern slavery" includes forced labour, debt bondage, human trafficking and other exploitation. The statement applies to our direct operations, subcontracted pressure washing crews, temporary labour and all tiers of our supply chain involved in pressure washing, commercial cleaning, vehicle jetwash services and equipment procurement.
Due Diligence and Supplier Audits
We carry out targeted due diligence on suppliers, with a focus on high-risk categories such as temporary labour agencies, subcontractors providing manual cleaning services and overseas material suppliers to our Jet-Washing operations. Our due diligence includes:
- pre-engagement checks on labour practices and documentation;
- contract clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery standards;
- periodic supplier audits and site visits;
- risk assessments for new markets or services, including mobile pressure cleaning teams.
Where audits reveal concerns, we work with suppliers on remediation plans; persistent non-compliance results in contract suspension or termination.
Supplier Expectations and Contractual Controls
Suppliers must demonstrate transparent recruitment, lawful pay and working conditions, and the absence of recruitment fees that could create debt bondage. Our contracts include rights to audit, remediation requirements and termination for violations. Training and capacity-building support is offered to help suppliers meet our standards for safe and ethical jet-wash service delivery.
Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing
We maintain accessible, confidential reporting channels for employees, contractors and third parties to raise concerns about modern slavery in our jet washing operations. These channels include secure internal reporting lines and anonymous options for whistleblowers. Reports are investigated promptly by trained investigators, with protections against retaliation.
How reports are handled:
- all reports are logged and triaged according to urgency;
- investigations follow documented procedures with clear timelines;
- serious allegations are escalated to senior management and, where appropriate, reported to law enforcement;
- victim support and remediation are prioritised in cases where exploitation is found.
Training, Monitoring and Annual Review
We provide ongoing training to staff, subcontractors and procurement teams on recognising signs of modern slavery and our obligations. Monitoring includes regular supplier performance reviews, site audits and key performance indicators relating to ethical compliance in jet washing and pressure washing operations. An annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement is conducted to assess effectiveness, update risk assessments and set actions for the coming year.
Measures of progress include audit outcomes, number of reports received and remediated cases, supplier compliance rates and training completion statistics. This continuous improvement process ensures our power jet washing services, mobile jetwash teams and procurement activities remain free from exploitation.
Commitment and Governance: Senior leadership is accountable for implementation and oversight. Our board and executive team review modern slavery risks as part of broader governance responsibilities, ensuring that ethical labour practices are embedded in corporate strategy for all jet washing and related services.
We are committed to collaborating with industry partners, suppliers and enforcement agencies to eradicate modern slavery from the cleaning and pressure washing sector. This Statement will be reviewed annually and updated to reflect legislative changes, emerging risks and our evolving supply chain practices.
