Modern Slavery Statement for Driveway Restoration Services

Driveway restoration and related repairs are core services for our company. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our driveway restoration services, including residential and commercial driveway restorations. We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards forced labor, child labor and exploitation, and we require the same standards from our partners and suppliers. Our approach is rooted in clear policies, ongoing supplier oversight and robust reporting channels.

We recognise that risks may arise across our supply chain, from material sourcing for resurfacing, sealants and paving materials to the labor used on site. This statement applies to all operations and to every contractor, subcontractor and supplier engaged by us for driveway repairs, resurfacing and ancillary works. We will not tolerate any form of modern slavery and we will act swiftly where concerns are raised. Compliance with this policy is mandatory for all parties working on driveway restorations for our clients.

Our zero-tolerance policy is enforced by senior management and embedded into procurement and contracting processes. All employees and subcontractors receive training so they can identify signs of exploitation and understand reporting obligations. We maintain clear contractual terms requiring suppliers to certify that their operations and supply chains are free from forced labor. Breaches of this policy may lead to immediate contract termination and, where appropriate, referral to authorities.

Due Diligence and Supplier Controls

We apply a risk-based due diligence process to all suppliers of driveway restorations materials and services. High-risk suppliers and new partnerships undergo enhanced screening prior to onboarding. Our procurement team evaluates potential suppliers on the following criteria to protect workers and ensure ethical supply chains:

• Verification of legal employment practices and age checks
• Review of worker contracts, pay practices and working hours
• Evidence of health and safety compliance on paving and restoration sites
• Transparency of subcontracting arrangements in driveway restoration projects

Supplier audits combine document review, remote checks and on-site inspections for suppliers deemed to present a higher risk. These audits are conducted by trained auditors and include interviews with workers where possible. Our audit program for driveway restoration suppliers emphasises remediation plans and timelines; non-compliant suppliers must implement corrective actions or face contract suspension.

Reporting Channels and Response

We maintain multiple confidential reporting channels for employees, subcontractors and third parties to raise concerns about modern slavery or exploitation in any part of our driveway restoration supply chain. Reports can be made through internal reporting lines or via anonymous mechanisms that protect whistleblowers from retaliation. All allegations are taken seriously and acted upon promptly. Protection and confidentiality are assured for those who raise concerns in good faith.

When a report is received, we investigate promptly and proportionately. Investigations involve fact-gathering, liaison with suppliers, remediation where appropriate and referral to relevant authorities when required. We document findings and actions taken, and we monitor implementation of corrective measures. Our aim is to ensure that any worker impacted receives appropriate support and that practices are changed to prevent recurrence in future driveway restoration projects.

Annual review: This statement and our policies are reviewed at least once every twelve months by senior management. The annual review assesses the effectiveness of our due diligence, supplier audits, training and reporting mechanisms, and updates our approach based on audit findings, evolving risks and stakeholder expectations. We commit to continuous improvement and transparency in how we manage modern slavery risks across all our driveway restoration operations.
