Modern Slavery Statement for Cleaner Earlscourt

Cleaner Earlscourt is committed to conducting all aspects of its business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation within our operations and supply chains. As a responsible cleaning services provider, we recognise that ethical practice is essential to protecting workers and maintaining trust across our business.

Our zero-tolerance policy applies to all forms of modern slavery. We do not accept any practice that involves coercion, debt bondage, child labour, withholding of documents, unsafe working conditions, or any other abuse of personal freedom. Cleaner Earlscourt expects every employee, contractor, and business partner to uphold these standards and to act with honesty, fairness, and dignity at all times.

We are also committed to identifying and reducing risk through careful oversight of our supply chain. This includes reviewing labour practices, assessing the countries and sectors from which goods and services are sourced, and monitoring any indicators that may suggest vulnerable working conditions. Where necessary, Cleaner Earlscourt will take corrective action, suspend relationships, or end arrangements where modern slavery risks cannot be adequately managed.

Supplier due diligence is central to our approach. We carry out supplier audits and periodic reviews of key vendors to assess compliance with our ethical standards. These audits may include document checks, policy reviews, worker-welfare assessments, and verification of recruitment practices. We expect suppliers to demonstrate that employment is freely chosen, wages are paid appropriately, and working hours are lawful and humane. Where concerns are identified, suppliers must implement improvement measures within agreed timeframes.

Training and awareness are important tools in preventing exploitation. Employees involved in procurement, contract management, and operational oversight receive guidance on recognising warning signs of modern slavery. This includes understanding unusual recruitment fees, restricted movement, intimidation, or evidence that workers are not in control of their identity documents. By strengthening awareness, Cleaner Earlscourt helps ensure that risks are spotted early and dealt with effectively.

We provide clear and accessible reporting channels so that concerns can be raised safely and without fear of retaliation. Any worker, supplier representative, or member of staff who suspects wrongdoing is encouraged to report it through our internal escalation process. Reports are treated seriously, handled confidentially where appropriate, and investigated promptly. Retaliation against whistleblowers is strictly prohibited, and any attempt to suppress legitimate concerns will be addressed.

To support accountability, Cleaner Earlscourt maintains records of due diligence, audit findings, corrective actions, and training activity. We also review supplier relationships regularly to ensure that ethical expectations remain clear and measurable. If a serious breach is confirmed, we may require immediate remediation or terminate the relationship where remediation is not feasible. Our aim is to protect workers and to promote responsible business conduct throughout the supply chain.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains accurate, effective, and aligned with current legal obligations and best practice. The annual review examines policy performance, audit outcomes, incident reports, and any emerging risks related to modern slavery. Improvements identified during the review are incorporated into our procedures so that Cleaner Earlscourt continues to strengthen its safeguards.

Cleaner Earlscourt believes that ethical service delivery depends on respect for human rights. By maintaining a zero-tolerance policy, conducting supplier audits, offering safe reporting channels, and completing an annual review, we reinforce our commitment to preventing exploitation. We will continue to improve our controls and work only with partners who share our values of fairness, responsibility, and lawful employment.
