MODERN SLAVERY ACT 2015
AUTO SMART HAND CAR WASH believes it is our responsibility to uphold the highest standards of ethical behaviour and personal integrity within our business operations. Wherever we do business our employees are required to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. Modern slavery is a heinous crime and a morally reprehensive act that deprives a person’s liberty
and dignity for another person’s gain. AUTO SMART HAND CAR WASH has a zero tolerance approach to modern slavery and is fully committed to preventing slavery and human trafficking in our operation and supply chain. As a company we are committed to protecting our organisation and those people at risk from exposure to slavery or human trafficking in our supply chain, both via our direct employees and those working on our behalf via sub-contractors.

We encourage our employees to report any concerns privately to management relating to the direct activities or the supply chain of the organisation.

AUTO SMART HAND CAR WASH has conducted a risk assessment on its business to assess the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking. Based upon the results of this assessment and as part of our initiative to identify and mitigate risk we have undertaken the following actions:-
• Developed and implemented training to our Management team to identify, assess, mitigate and report specifically on modern slavery
• Developed and communicated our modern slavery policy to our employees and those whom we conduct business with
• Ensured that our confidential employee reporting procedure is clearly promoted. AUTO SMART HAND CAR WASH will continue to seek to identify and manage any potential risks associated with Modern Slavery. We have endeavoured to put safeguards in place to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, that the working practices of those employed directly by us and those with whom we have a direct contractual arrangement with, also have a similar zero tolerance to modern slavery. This statement is made pursuant to section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
