Modern Slavery Statement for Jet Washing

We set out this Modern Slavery Statement to confirm our firm commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms across our jet washing operations and supply chain. Our position is one of zero-tolerance ??? we will not accept forced labour, servitude, bonded labour, or any other form of exploitation in relation to Jet Washing, pressure washing services, or associated activities. This statement applies to all persons working for us, including contractors and those engaged for power washing or jetwash duties.

This policy covers the supply chain and procurement of goods and services for jet-wash operations, including equipment, cleaning chemicals and subcontracted labour. We adopt a proactive approach to risk identification, carrying out due diligence and supplier assessments prior to onboarding suppliers and periodically thereafter. Our standards require suppliers to commit to ethical labour practices and to demonstrate compliance with anti-slavery laws and industry best practices.

Policy, Training and Expectations

Our zero-tolerance policy is embedded in our code of conduct and procurement policies. All staff involved in cleaning, maintenance, contracting, procurement and site supervision receive targeted training to recognise indicators of exploitation and the specific risks associated with high-risk activities such as mobile pressure washing and on-site jet washing projects. We provide guidance on escalation procedures and ensure managers understand their responsibilities to act if modern slavery is suspected.

Reporting Channels and Speak Up Mechanisms

We maintain clear and confidential reporting channels to enable workers, contractors and third parties to raise concerns safely and without fear of retaliation. Report options include:

• Anonymous reporting hotlines and secure electronic forms;
• Designated compliance officers trained to handle sensitive disclosures;
• Confidential grievance mechanisms accessible to on-site operatives and subcontractors.

All reports are taken seriously, investigated promptly and subject to procedural protections. We emphasise non-retaliation and provide support to those who come forward, including translation services and referrals to welfare support if needed.

Supplier Audits and Monitoring

We implement a risk-based programme of supplier audits to verify compliance with our anti-slavery expectations. Audit activities include document reviews, site visits and interviews with workers engaged in jet washing, pressure cleaning or related services. Key elements of our supplier audit framework include:

• Initial pre-contract audits and ongoing scheduled reviews;
• Spot checks and unannounced visits where risk indicators are present;
• Corrective action plans with time-bound requirements and follow-up audits;
• Termination clauses for persistent breaches of labour standards.

Where issues are identified, we prioritise swift remediation and worker protection, and we will disengage suppliers who fail to remedy serious violations in line with our zero-tolerance stance.

Our approach recognises the varied terminology used in the industry ??? from jet washing and jet-washing to power washing ??? and ensures consistent application of standards across all service descriptions and delivery models.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

We undertake an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and our broader anti-slavery programme. The review evaluates the effectiveness of risk assessments, supplier audits, training outcomes, reported incidents and remediation actions. Findings inform updated risk controls, enhanced training modules for operatives engaged in pressure washing, and improvements to reporting channels.

Performance metrics tracked as part of the annual review include audit coverage, number and nature of reports received, time to resolution for investigations, and supplier remediation completion rates. We also assess emerging risks in related trades and seek to strengthen contractual protections and supplier transparency where needed.

By maintaining rigorous supplier oversight, accessible reporting mechanisms, targeted training and a commitment to regular review, we ensure that our jet washing operations and associated supply chains operate with respect for human rights and labour dignity. We reaffirm our pledge to act swiftly on any credible allegation of modern slavery and to continually refine our policies to prevent exploitation in every form.
