Cleaner Belgravia Modern Slavery Statement

Cleaner Belgravia is committed to conducting all aspects of our business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. It applies to all employees, contractors, agency staff, suppliers, and business partners who work with or on behalf of Cleaner Belgravia.

Our Zero-Tolerance Approach

Cleaner Belgravia has a clear and unequivocal zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, bonded labour, child labour, human trafficking, and any other form of exploitation. We will not knowingly work with any organisation or individual involved in such practices, and we are committed to identifying, addressing, and eliminating risks wherever they may arise.

All business decisions at Cleaner Belgravia must align with this policy. Commercial pressures or operational challenges will never justify compromising human rights or ethical standards. Any evidence or credible suspicion of modern slavery will be treated with the utmost seriousness and will lead to decisive action, which may include termination of contracts and reporting to relevant authorities.

Governance and Responsibility

The leadership of Cleaner Belgravia is responsible for ensuring that this statement is implemented and that appropriate resources are allocated to maintain effective controls. Managers are accountable for promoting awareness of modern slavery risks within their teams and ensuring that staff understand and comply with our policies.

All employees share responsibility for upholding our zero-tolerance approach. Every member of staff is expected to act with integrity, to be vigilant to possible indicators of exploitation, and to raise concerns promptly and honestly.

Supplier Standards and Audits

We recognise that the greatest risk of modern slavery often lies within extended supply chains. Cleaner Belgravia expects all suppliers, subcontractors, and service providers to adhere to our ethical standards and to comply with all applicable labour and human rights legislation.

As part of our supplier due diligence, we assess the risk profile of suppliers based on geography, sector, and the nature of services provided. Higher-risk suppliers may be subject to enhanced scrutiny, including additional documentation requests and more frequent reviews.

Cleaner Belgravia conducts periodic audits of selected suppliers to verify compliance with our modern slavery requirements. These audits may include on-site visits, worker interviews performed in a confidential manner, and the review of employment records and relevant policies. Where areas for improvement are identified, we will work collaboratively with suppliers to implement corrective actions within clear timeframes. If a supplier is unwilling or unable to meet our expectations, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate our relationship.

Reporting Concerns and Protection

Cleaner Belgravia encourages all employees, workers in our supply chain, and other stakeholders to speak up if they suspect that modern slavery or related abuses are occurring in connection with our business. Concerns can be raised through internal reporting channels, directly to line managers, senior management, or other designated contacts within the organisation.

We will treat all reports sensitively and, where possible, confidentially. No person will suffer retaliation, discrimination, or disadvantage for raising a concern in good faith, even if it is not substantiated following investigation. We will investigate all reports promptly and fairly, and where appropriate, take remedial action and notify relevant external bodies.

Training and Awareness

Cleaner Belgravia provides training and guidance to relevant employees to help them recognise indicators of modern slavery and understand how to respond appropriately. This includes information on common risk factors, high-risk sectors, and the correct use of our reporting channels. Awareness of modern slavery obligations forms part of our ongoing approach to ethical business conduct.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

We recognise that tackling modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility, requiring continuous improvement and vigilance. Cleaner Belgravia is committed to strengthening our processes over time, learning from best practice, and adapting to emerging risks in our sector and supply chain.

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to assess the effectiveness of our approach and to identify areas for enhancement. The review considers audit findings, reported concerns, changes in our operations, and developments in legislation and industry guidance. Where necessary, we will update our policies, procedures, and training to ensure that our efforts to prevent modern slavery remain robust and relevant.

This statement reflects Cleaner Belgravia's commitment to upholding human dignity and ensuring that all work associated with our business is performed freely, safely, and with respect.
