Modern Slavery Statement — Commitment from the Cleaning Company

As a leading provider of commercial and residential cleaning services, this Modern Slavery Statement for our cleaning company sets out our commitment to identify, prevent and address modern slavery, human trafficking and related exploitation in our operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to uphold human rights and maintain ethical labour standards across every contract we undertake.

Scope and Purpose

Our anti-slavery policy applies to all employees, subcontractors and suppliers engaged by the cleaning business worldwide. The anti-slavery statement clarifies expectations, informs decision-makers and supports consistent behaviour by articulating the standards we expect and the actions we will take to enforce them.

Zero-Tolerance Policy and Core Principles

We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and forced labour. Any form of coercion, exploitative working conditions, or debt bondage is strictly prohibited. We will terminate relationships with parties found to be engaging in such practices and take appropriate legal or remedial action. Our zero-tolerance approach is central to this slavery statement and to our organisational values.

Supply Chain Due Diligence

We undertake risk-based due diligence across our procurement and subcontracting processes. This includes pre-engagement checks, contractual clauses that require compliance with anti-slavery standards, and ongoing monitoring of suppliers and subcontractors to ensure alignment with our modern slavery policy for cleaning services.

Supplier Audits and Monitoring

We carry out regular supplier audits and inspections targeted at areas of higher risk. Audit activities include document reviews, site visits and interviews to verify employment practices, working hours, wage compliance and recruitment processes. Our audit program uses the following measures:

• Risk-based on-site audits for high-risk suppliers
• Documentary checks and recruitment vetting
• Corrective action plans and follow-up assessments

Employment Practices and Worker Welfare

We ensure fair pay, lawful working hours and safe conditions for all directly employed staff. For subcontracted workers, we require contractual assurance and regular verification to prevent exploitation, bonded labour and undocumented work. We support worker welfare initiatives and encourage suppliers to adopt the same standards.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We maintain clear, accessible reporting channels for concerns about modern slavery. Employees, contractors, suppliers and third parties can raise concerns confidentially through designated internal channels and anonymously where permitted. Reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and managed with protections against retaliation. Key reporting options include:

• Internal HR and compliance reporting lines
• Designated ethical reporting inboxes and anonymous hotlines
• Escalation pathways to senior management for urgent matters

Training and Awareness

We provide regular training to employees and managers on recognising the indicators of modern slavery, the company’s policies and how to use reporting mechanisms. Training materials, briefings and toolbox talks reinforce our expectations and create a culture where exploitation is not tolerated.

Review, Remediation and Annual Review

We commit to remediation where exploitation is identified and will work with affected individuals, suppliers and relevant authorities to remedy harm. Our anti-slavery controls and the overall modern slavery and human trafficking statement are reviewed at least annually by senior management and the board to assess effectiveness and update measures. This annual review includes analysis of audit findings, reported cases, supplier performance and training uptake.

In conclusion, this slavery statement for the cleaning company reflects our ongoing pledge: to enforce a zero-tolerance policy, implement robust supplier audits, promote safe reporting channels and conduct rigorous annual reviews to continually improve our response to modern slavery risks.
