Modern Slavery Statement

Cleaner Fulham Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps Cleaner Fulham has taken, and continues to take, to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. Cleaner Fulham is committed to conducting business ethically and with integrity in all our relationships, and to implementing systems and controls that safeguard against any form of modern slavery.

Our Zero Tolerance Approach

Cleaner Fulham has a strict zero tolerance policy toward modern slavery and human trafficking. We reject any form of forced labour, compulsory labour, child labour, servitude, bonded or indentured labour, and all forms of human trafficking. This commitment applies to all aspects of our business, including the provision of cleaning services, the engagement of staff, and the procurement of goods and services.

All employees, contractors and suppliers are expected to act in a way that is consistent with our values and this statement. Any breach or suspected breach of our zero tolerance approach is treated as a serious matter that may result in termination of contracts or other appropriate actions.

Our Supply Chain Standards

Our supply chain includes providers of cleaning products and equipment, facilities services, and labour and recruitment services. We expect all parties in our supply chain to uphold the same high standards regarding labour and human rights that we set for ourselves.

When assessing new suppliers, we consider their policies and practices on labour standards and human rights as part of our selection and onboarding process. We seek to work only with organisations that can demonstrate a commitment to ethical sourcing, lawful employment practices and safe working conditions.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

Cleaner Fulham is implementing a risk-based approach to supplier audits and due diligence. Suppliers assessed as presenting a higher risk of labour exploitation are subject to enhanced review. This may include requests for detailed information on their workforce, subcontractors, recruitment practices and working conditions.

We reserve the right to conduct site visits or require documented evidence to verify compliance with our expectations. Where issues are identified, we work with suppliers to agree corrective actions and timeframes. Persistent non-compliance or refusal to address concerns may result in suspension or termination of the business relationship.

Employee Awareness and Reporting Channels

We recognise that our employees and frontline workers play an important role in identifying potential signs of modern slavery. Cleaner Fulham provides guidance on recognising indicators of exploitation, such as restricted freedom of movement, withholding of identity documents, unexplained deductions from wages, or signs of intimidation or coercion.

Employees, contractors and any other stakeholders are encouraged to report concerns about possible modern slavery or human trafficking in confidence through internal management channels. Reports can be made to line managers or senior management, and individuals are encouraged to provide as much detail as possible so that concerns can be investigated thoroughly.

Cleaner Fulham does not tolerate victimisation or retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith. All allegations are treated seriously and investigated promptly, with appropriate remedial action taken where necessary.

Governance, Accountability and Training

Responsibility for overseeing this Modern Slavery Statement and related initiatives rests with the senior management team of Cleaner Fulham. Managers are responsible for cascading expectations within their teams and for addressing any issues that are brought to their attention.

We aim to provide proportionate information and awareness training to employees involved in procurement, recruitment and supplier management, so that they understand the risks of modern slavery and can apply our policies effectively in their day to day roles.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

Cleaner Fulham is committed to continuous improvement in preventing modern slavery and human trafficking. We recognise that risks can evolve over time, particularly as supply chains change and new services are introduced. We will continue to refine our procedures, strengthen our due diligence processes and enhance our training and awareness measures.

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually by senior management to assess its effectiveness and relevance. The review considers any reported incidents, audit findings, regulatory developments and feedback from stakeholders. Where necessary, we update our policies and procedures to ensure they remain robust and aligned with best practice.

This statement reflects Cleaner Fulham's ongoing commitment to conducting business ethically, respecting human rights and working to ensure that modern slavery has no place in our business or supply chains.
