Cleaner Earls Court Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the actions taken by Cleaner Earls Court to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings, ensuring that the rights and dignity of every individual are respected and protected.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

Cleaner Earls Court maintains a clear zero-tolerance stance on all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and child labour. This applies to our own activities and extends to all third parties who provide goods or services to us. We do not knowingly work with any organisation that violates or is unwilling to work towards the elimination of modern slavery.

All employees, contractors, and suppliers are expected to comply with this commitment. Any breach of this policy is considered a serious matter and may result in termination of employment or business relationships, as well as reporting to relevant authorities where appropriate.

Governance and Responsibilities

Responsibility for overseeing our approach to modern slavery rests with the senior management team at Cleaner Earls Court. Management is accountable for ensuring that appropriate procedures, training, and controls are in place and that they are reviewed regularly. Line managers are responsible for communicating our standards to their teams and for escalating any concerns raised by staff or third parties.

All staff share responsibility for protecting human rights by remaining vigilant, following our internal policies, and reporting any suspicions or concerns about modern slavery in a timely and honest manner.

Risk Assessment and Supplier Due Diligence

We evaluate potential and existing suppliers for modern slavery risks, with particular focus on sectors, services, and regions that may present higher vulnerability. As part of our onboarding process, suppliers are required to confirm that they operate in full compliance with applicable labour laws and that they have policies in place to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking.

Our due diligence measures include assessing labour practices, recruitment methods, and working conditions where relevant. We reserve the right to refuse or discontinue business with suppliers who fail to meet our ethical standards or who do not demonstrate a commitment to continuous improvement in this area.

Supplier Audits and Ongoing Monitoring

Cleaner Earls Court conducts proportionate audits and reviews of selected suppliers to verify compliance with this Modern Slavery Statement and related policies. These audits may include site visits, document reviews, and structured discussions regarding labour practices, subcontracting, and worker protections.

Where issues are identified, we work collaboratively with suppliers to develop corrective action plans and realistic timelines for improvement. In cases of serious or repeated non-compliance, we may terminate the business relationship. Our objective is to foster transparent, long-term partnerships built on shared respect for human rights.

Reporting Channels and Protection

We encourage employees, contractors, suppliers, and any other stakeholders to raise concerns about modern slavery or unethical labour practices connected to Cleaner Earls Court. Concerns can be reported through existing internal reporting routes, including line managers or designated senior contacts, and may be raised confidentially where necessary.

No individual will suffer any form of retaliation, victimisation, or disadvantage for reporting a genuine concern in good faith. We investigate all reports promptly, sensitively, and impartially, taking appropriate corrective and preventive action where required.

Training and Awareness

Cleaner Earls Court is committed to building awareness of modern slavery issues among our workforce. We provide guidance and, where appropriate, targeted training to help employees recognise signs of exploitation, understand our policies, and know how to report concerns. We review our training needs regularly to ensure they remain relevant to the risks in our operations and supply chains.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

We recognise that tackling modern slavery requires ongoing effort, transparency, and collaboration. We are committed to continually improving our approach by reviewing our policies, procedures, and supplier management practices in light of emerging best practice and regulatory developments.

This Modern Slavery Statement will be reviewed and updated at least once every year by Cleaner Earls Court senior management. The annual review will consider the effectiveness of our current measures, findings from audits and investigations, feedback from stakeholders, and any changes in our operations or supply chain structure. Revisions will be implemented to strengthen our defences against modern slavery and reinforce our commitment to ethical and responsible business conduct.
