Modern Slavery Statement for Cleaner Hollandpark
Cleaner Hollandpark is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and all forms of exploitation across our operations and supply chains. We recognise that the cleaning sector can present risks due to labour intensity, subcontracting, and variable working arrangements, and we take these responsibilities seriously.
Our approach applies to all employees, contractors, agency workers, and suppliers associated with Cleaner Hollandpark. We expect everyone who works with us to uphold lawful, ethical, and transparent employment practices. This statement reflects our ongoing commitment to identifying, preventing, and addressing risks of slavery and exploitation in a practical and measurable way.
We operate a clear zero-tolerance stance: if any person or organisation acting on our behalf is found to be involved in modern slavery, we will take immediate action, which may include suspension, termination of the relationship, and reporting to the relevant authorities where appropriate. Our expectation is simple: all work must be voluntary, fairly paid, and carried out in safe conditions.
Supplier Standards and Due Diligence
Cleaner Hollandpark undertakes risk-based checks on suppliers before engagement and during the course of the relationship. These checks include reviewing trading history, labour practices, recruitment methods, and compliance with employment law. Where appropriate, we require suppliers to confirm that they do not use forced labour, child labour, or deceptive recruitment practices.
We also conduct supplier audits for higher-risk arrangements, particularly where labour sourcing, subcontracting, or temporary staffing is involved. Audits may include document reviews, workforce checks, and verification of payroll, right-to-work records, and working hours. If concerns arise, we require corrective action plans and follow-up reviews to confirm improvement.
Training, Awareness, and Responsibility
Responsibility for preventing modern slavery is shared across the organisation. Managers are expected to monitor recruitment, supervision, and supplier performance carefully, while staff are encouraged to remain alert to warning signs such as unusual deductions, restricted movement, withholding of identity documents, or signs of coercion. By maintaining awareness, Cleaner Hollandpark strengthens its ability to respond early and effectively.
Reporting channels are available to support prompt and safe escalation of concerns. Any worker, supplier, or stakeholder who suspects exploitation may raise the issue through internal management routes or designated safeguarding processes. Reports are handled confidentially and without retaliation, and concerns are investigated thoroughly, fairly, and as quickly as possible.
Where a report indicates potential harm, we will act immediately to protect affected individuals and preserve evidence. This may involve pausing work, reviewing records, speaking with relevant parties, or referring the matter to competent authorities. We encourage early reporting because swift action is essential in preventing further harm and improving outcomes for vulnerable workers.
We also promote a culture in which people can speak up without fear. Cleaner Hollandpark will not tolerate victimisation of anyone who raises a genuine concern in good faith. Our goal is to create a workplace and supply chain where ethical conduct is normal, safeguarding is active, and exploitation has no place.
Annual Review and Continuous Improvement
We review this statement annually to ensure it remains accurate, relevant, and effective. The review considers audit findings, supplier performance, reported concerns, legal developments, and any lessons learned from incidents or investigations. Where needed, we update our controls, strengthen supplier requirements, and refine internal training and reporting processes.
Cleaner Hollandpark is committed to continuous improvement in tackling modern slavery risks. We understand that effective prevention depends on vigilance, transparency, and consistent action. Through our zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, reporting channels, and annual review process, we aim to uphold the highest standards of responsibility and protect the dignity of every person connected to our business.
