Modern Slavery Arrangements
Our Commitment
Powerpillar Ltd is committed to conducting business in an ethical, responsible, and transparent manner. We take a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, exploitation, and any form of unlawful or unethical labour practice within our business operations and supply chain.
We are committed to complying with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and ensuring that all workers involved in our projects are treated fairly, lawfully, and with dignity.
Understanding the Risks
As a construction, refurbishment, maintenance company, we recognise that modern slavery risks can arise within labour-intensive industries and extended supply chains. These risks may be greater where subcontractors, agency workers, temporary labour, or unfamiliar suppliers are involved.
To manage these risks, Powerpillar Ltd carries out proportionate checks and reviews, particularly in relation to:
- Labour-intensive construction, refurbishment, maintenance, and cleaning activities
- Subcontractors, labour-only contractors, and agency workers
- New suppliers or unfamiliar service providers
- Work activities where vulnerable workers may be at higher risk of exploitation
Due Diligence and Supply Chain Management
Powerpillar Ltd takes reasonable steps to ensure that the businesses and individuals we work with operate legally, ethically, and responsibly.
Our due diligence arrangements may include:
- Verifying subcontractor and supplier identity, company registration, and legitimacy
- Checking that workers have the legal right to work in the UK
- Ensuring subcontractors follow UK employment laws and fair working practices
- Requiring subcontractors and suppliers to comply with anti-slavery and ethical labour standards
- Including anti-slavery expectations within relevant contracts, agreements, and working arrangements
- Monitoring subcontractor performance, conduct, and compliance during projects
We expect all subcontractors, suppliers, and business partners to share our commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking.

We ensure that:
- Right to Work checks are completed in line with Home Office guidance
- Employees and workers are provided with clear terms of engagement
- Forced, bonded, involuntary, or trafficked labour is strictly prohibited

- Workers are free to raise concerns without fear of victimisation or unfair treatment
We do not knowingly work with any individual, subcontractor, or supplier who uses exploitative labour practices.
