Modern Slavery Statement — Office Clearance Temple

Office Clearance Temple publishes this modern slavery statement to set out our position and actions to prevent forced labour and human trafficking across our operations. We adopt a zero-tolerance policy on any form of modern slavery, and this slavery statement articulates our expectations for employees, contractors and suppliers. Our commitment to a robust anti-slavery policy is central to our values and company culture.

Scope and Commitment

We prepare this Modern Slavery Statement to cover all activities undertaken by Office Clearance Temple, including clearance, logistics and partner services. This modern slavery policy applies to all staff, sub-contractors and third-party vendors. We expect every partner to comply with the standards set out in this slavery statement and to support our efforts to identify and eliminate risks.

Our zero tolerance approach means that any evidence of forced labour, debt bondage, or human trafficking will be treated seriously and addressed immediately. Key elements of our zero-tolerance policy include:

• Immediate investigation of allegations and documented remediation steps;
• Termination of contracts where modern slavery breaches are confirmed;
• Cooperation with law enforcement and relevant authorities where required.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

Office Clearance Temple uses a risk-based supplier audit programme to assess suppliers and subcontractors. Our supplier assessments incorporate checks on labour practices, evidence of fair recruitment, and verification of working hours and wage compliance. We use contractual clauses and supplier declarations to reinforce expectations in our anti-slavery policy.

Regular supplier audits form a central part of our prevention strategy. Audits are conducted by qualified teams and include document reviews, on-site inspections and interviews where appropriate. The audit process is designed to:

• Identify areas of non-compliance;
• Recommend corrective action plans;
• Monitor implementation and closure of findings.

When issues are identified, we pursue a pathway of corrective actions, capacity building and, when necessary, contract termination. We encourage transparency and capacity building with suppliers to improve standards consistently.

We maintain clear and accessible reporting channels to enable workers, contractors and third parties to raise concerns confidentially and safely. Reports may be raised without fear of retaliation and are taken seriously by our compliance team. Our whistleblowing and reporting mechanisms include a secure internal reporting route and a dedicated escalation process for high-risk allegations.

Reports received are logged, risk-assessed and investigated promptly. Investigation outcomes result in proportionate responses which may include disciplinary action, supplier remediation or termination, and referral to law enforcement. We document each step to ensure accountability and continuous improvement in our anti-slavery procedures.

Training and awareness are essential components of our modern slavery policy. All relevant staff receive regular training on recognising signs of exploitation and the correct use of reporting channels. We also provide suppliers with guidance and resources to help them align with our expectations and to embed responsible labour practices across the supply chain.

Office Clearance Temple has assigned specific roles and responsibilities for managing compliance with this slavery statement. Senior management and the board maintain oversight, while operational teams execute audits, investigations and supplier engagement. We maintain records of due diligence, audit findings and remedial measures to track progress and demonstrate compliance.

Annual review of this modern slavery statement is embedded in our governance cycle. Each year we evaluate our policies, procedures and performance data to ensure effectiveness, adapt to emerging risks and incorporate best practices. The annual review includes stakeholder feedback, audit outcomes and a summary of any remediation actions taken during the year.

In closing, Office Clearance Temple reaffirms its unwavering commitment to combatting modern slavery. Our combined approach of a zero-tolerance policy, rigorous supplier audits, secure reporting channels and a structured annual review supports continual improvement and accountability. We will continue to strengthen our anti-slavery stance and work collaboratively with partners to ensure that forced labour and human trafficking have no place in our business.
