Modern Slavery Statement for Removal Reviews

At Removal Reviews (also referenced here as Removal-Reviews and removal reviews), we declare a zero-tolerance policy to modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour in any part of our operations or supply chain. This statement outlines our persistent commitment to preventing exploitation, the steps we take to detect and address risks, and the responsibilities embedded across our governance. We recognise that the integrity of RemovalReviews depends on rigorous controls, clear expectations for partners, and transparent processes for reporting concerns.

We maintain a corporate code of conduct and a supplier code that explicitly forbids any form of coerced labour. Our leadership has endorsed these codes and the board receives regular updates on modern slavery mitigation activity. Compliance with anti-slavery principles is a contractual requirement for existing and prospective suppliers and contractors in the removal reviews supply network.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

Our approach to supplier management includes a structured risk assessment and targeted supplier audits. We routinely evaluate suppliers using documented criteria that consider geography, labour intensity and the nature of services provided. Where risks are identified, we implement enhanced due diligence and monitoring. Key processes include:

• Risk-based supplier screening at onboarding and periodically thereafter;
• Scheduled and unannounced supplier audits to verify labour practices;
• Contractual clauses that allow for corrective action plans and termination where necessary.

Audit results inform remedial actions, capacity building and, where required, disengagement from suppliers who fail to meet our standards. The supplier audit protocol is applied across all service categories related to removal reviews activities and adapted to regional risk profiles.

Reporting Channels and Safe Whistleblowing

We provide multiple secure and confidential reporting channels for employees, workers in our supply chain and third parties to raise concerns about suspected slavery or exploitation. Reports may be submitted anonymously and will be managed with urgency and discretion. Our reporting framework includes:

• Internal reporting lines with protections for whistleblowers;
• Escalation procedures to senior compliance officers and the board;
• Documented investigations, corrective action tracking, and remediation where appropriate.

All allegations are assessed promptly, ensuring victims are supported and that any necessary legal or remedial measures are pursued. We emphasise non-retaliation and confidentiality to encourage reporting and to protect those who come forward.

Training, Awareness and Supplier Engagement

To reinforce our zero tolerance stance, Removal Reviews runs regular training for staff and procurement teams, tailored to role and exposure to supply chain risks. Suppliers are engaged through communications, workshops and contractual training requirements. We promote continuous improvement by sharing best practices and requiring corrective action plans when audit findings identify gaps.

We also integrate modern slavery considerations into procurement decisions and supplier scorecards. Performance metrics for suppliers include adherence to labour standards, evidence of lawful recruitment practices, and willingness to participate in audits or remedial programmes.

Annual Review, Governance and Continuous Improvement

Our modern slavery statement and related policies undergo an annual review to ensure effectiveness and responsiveness to evolving risks in the removal-Reviews ecosystem. The review examines audit outcomes, reported incidents, remedial responses and engagement results. Findings are used to refine our risk framework, enhance training, and update contractual terms.

Governance responsibility for anti-slavery measures sits with senior management and the board, who oversee implementation, approve resources and ensure accountability. We measure progress through KPIs such as number of supplier audits completed, incidence of confirmed violations, time to remediation, and training completion rates.

In conclusion, Removal Reviews reaffirms its commitment to eradicating modern slavery from its operations and supply chains. We will continue to apply stringent supplier audits, maintain secure reporting channels, enforce a zero-tolerance policy and conduct annual reviews to drive continuous improvement in ethical procurement and operational practices. This statement reflects our ongoing pledge to protect human rights and uphold the highest standards across all variants of Removal Reviews, whether referenced as removal reviews, RemovalReviews or Removal-Reviews.
