Modern Slavery Statement for Driveway Sealing Operations

Our company is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all parts of our driveway sealing and sealcoating driveways operations. This statement outlines our approach across asphalt driveway sealing, driveway sealing services and related contracting activities. We recognise the ethical and legal imperative to ensure that every person involved in our supply chain is treated with dignity and free from exploitation.

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward forced labour, child labour and any form of trafficking. Our zero-tolerance position applies to direct employees, subcontractors and suppliers engaged in driveway sealing services, driveway sealant application and driveway resurfacing work. Any breach of this policy will result in immediate remedial action, up to and including termination of contracts.

We set clear expectations for suppliers and contractors. Key commitments include:

• Compliance with laws and international standards prohibiting modern slavery;
• Transparent labour practices across sealcoating driveways supply chains;
• Fair wages and safe working conditions for those involved in asphalt driveway sealing.

We require written acknowledgement of these commitments from all new and existing suppliers.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

We conduct risk-based due diligence on suppliers of materials, equipment and labour used in driveway sealing projects. This includes desktop reviews, contract clauses, and where necessary, on-site inspections of supplier facilities. Our supplier audits focus on labour documentation, recruitment practices, working hours and housing conditions where applicable.

Audit procedures are tiered by risk: higher-risk suppliers—such as those providing manual labour for driveway sealing contractors or sourcing from regions with elevated vulnerability—are subject to more frequent and detailed inspections. Corrective action plans are mandatory for any non-compliance, with timelines and verification steps defined in writing.

We maintain a central register of approved suppliers and perform periodic reassessments. Supplier performance metrics for driveway sealant procurement emphasise ethical labour practices alongside quality and cost, and repeated violations lead to de-listing.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We provide multiple secure channels for reporting suspected modern slavery related to driveways, sealant supply or field crews. Reports can be made anonymously through internal hotlines and by written submission to our compliance team. All reports are treated with confidentiality and assessed promptly.

Protections for reporters are paramount: retaliation will not be tolerated. Our investigative process for allegations involving driveway sealing personnel or supply chains follows a documented protocol, including fact-finding, suspension of implicated actors where necessary, and remedial measures aimed at protecting affected workers.

Training and awareness are integral. We deliver regular training to employees and supply partners on identifying signs of exploitation in sealcoating driveways projects and on the use of reporting channels. Materials include scenario-based learning covering subcontractor interactions and recruitment agent practices.

We commit to annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and our policies covering driveway sealing, sealcoating driveways and related supply chains. Each year we will evaluate the effectiveness of supplier audits, reporting mechanisms, training, and remediation outcomes. Results inform continuous improvement and updates to procurement standards.

Governance is provided by senior management and our compliance officer, who oversee implementation and publish progress internally. We track key indicators, such as audit completion rates, corrective action closures and the number of credible reports resolved.

By adopting and enforcing these measures across all aspects of driveway sealing services and asphalt driveway sealing supply chains, we aim to eliminate modern slavery risks and ensure ethical, lawful treatment of every worker connected to our operations. This statement is endorsed at the highest level and represents our ongoing commitment to transparency and continuous improvement.
