Clearance Sucks — Modern Slavery Statement
This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the commitment of Clearance Sucks to preventing slavery, servitude, forced labour and human trafficking in our operations and supply chain. We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery or human exploitation. This anti-slavery statement is aligned with our values and demonstrates how our modern slavery policy is applied across all functions.
We recognise that modern slavery risks can arise in different parts of our business and within the networks of suppliers and contractors we engage. Our slavery and human trafficking statement outlines responsibilities for senior management, procurement teams and staff who manage supplier relationships. We require clear evidence of lawful employment practices and truthful reporting from every tier of supply.
Through this modern-slavery-policy communication, Clearance Sucks confirms that compliance measures are embedded in contracts and enforced by regular monitoring. Our zero tolerance approach includes immediate corrective action when allegations or findings arise and, where necessary, termination of relationships with suppliers who fail to remediate abuses.
Due Diligence and Supplier Audits
We conduct risk-based due diligence and supplier audits to identify, assess and mitigate the risk of forced labour. Audits include document checks, site visits, and worker interviews. Our supplier assessment program is tiered and prioritises higher-risk geographies and sectors. Audits are followed by formal remediation plans and timelines where issues are found.
Supplier assurance for Clearance Sucks combines desk-based evaluations with on-site verification. We use contractual clauses that require suppliers to comply with our modern slavery expectations and to allow scheduled or unannounced audits. Audit outcomes determine continued engagement, capacity building, or contract termination.
Key audit controls include:
- Verification of working hours, pay records and recruitment processes
- Checks for recruitment fees and third-party labour providers
- Worker interviews conducted in languages they understand
- Corrective action plans and follow-up reviews
Reporting Channels and Grievance Mechanisms
We maintain multiple confidential reporting channels to enable workers, suppliers and third parties to raise concerns about exploitation or unsafe conditions. Reports are investigated promptly and impartially by trained personnel. All reports receive acknowledgement and are tracked through to resolution. Retaliation against anyone who reports in good faith is strictly prohibited.
Reports can be submitted anonymously where permitted by law; however, we encourage openness to enable effective investigation. Our investigation procedures collect evidence, assess systemic causes and recommend remedial steps such as restitution, corrective training and policy amendments.
Annual Review and Continuous Improvement: Clearance Sucks performs an annual review of this anti-slavery statement and our modern slavery mitigation program. The review evaluates policy effectiveness, audit results, remediation outcomes and stakeholder feedback. We publish updates to reflect improved practices and evolving legal obligations. Continuous improvement is central to our slavery and human trafficking statement.
Commitments and Next Steps: Clearance Sucks will continue to strengthen supplier audits, enforce our zero-tolerance policy and maintain accessible reporting channels. Our annual review cycle ensures sustained attention and resource allocation to eliminate forced labour across our operations and supply chain.
