Cleaner Holland Park Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by Cleaner Holland Park to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to uphold human rights, protect vulnerable individuals, and promote ethical conduct across all aspects of our business.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

Cleaner Holland Park has a clear and uncompromising zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and the exploitation of children or vulnerable adults. We will not knowingly work with any organisation or individual involved in such practices. This policy applies to all employees, contractors, agency workers, and suppliers engaged with Cleaner Holland Park.

We expect the same high standards from all parties we work with. Any breach or suspected breach of this zero-tolerance policy may result in termination of contracts, removal from our approved supplier list, and notification to relevant authorities where appropriate.

Our Operations and Supply Chains

Cleaner Holland Park provides professional cleaning services and related activities. Our supply chains include providers of cleaning products, equipment, facilities services, and various business support services. We are committed to working with suppliers who share our values and who treat their workforce fairly, legally, and with dignity and respect.

We aim to build long-term relationships with suppliers and partners who demonstrate ethical practices, transparency, and a clear commitment to eradicating modern slavery in their own operations and supply chains.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

To reduce the risk of modern slavery in our supply chains, Cleaner Holland Park has implemented a supplier due diligence and audit process. New suppliers are assessed on their labour practices, working conditions, and compliance with relevant legislation. Where appropriate, we request evidence of policies, procedures, and training relating to modern slavery and human rights.

We conduct periodic audits and reviews of higher risk suppliers, which may include site visits, documentation checks, and discussions regarding workforce welfare. If we identify concerns, we will work with the supplier to implement corrective actions within clear timeframes. Where issues are not addressed satisfactorily, we reserve the right to cease working with that supplier.

Employee Awareness, Training, and Responsibilities

Employees of Cleaner Holland Park are made aware of our zero-tolerance stance on modern slavery and their responsibility to help identify and report potential risks. Relevant managers and staff receive training to recognise indicators of exploitation, such as signs of coercion, restricted movement, or unusual working conditions.

We promote a culture where ethical behaviour is expected and any form of exploitation is challenged. All staff are required to comply with our policies and to support efforts to maintain transparency and integrity in our operations and supply chains.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Cleaner Holland Park encourages anyone with concerns about modern slavery or human trafficking to raise them without fear of victimisation. Concerns can be reported internally through line managers or senior management. We treat all reports seriously, confidentially where possible, and will investigate promptly and sensitively.

We are committed to protecting whistleblowers who raise issues in good faith. No one will suffer any detrimental treatment as a result of reporting suspicions of modern slavery or assisting with an investigation.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

We recognise that the risks of modern slavery evolve over time, and we are committed to continuous improvement in our approach. Cleaner Holland Park reviews its modern slavery risk assessments, policies, and control measures at least annually. This review considers changes in our operations, supply chains, legal requirements, and best practice guidance.

Outcomes from the annual review may include updates to supplier requirements, enhancements to our due diligence processes, additional staff training, or further engagement with suppliers on ethical standards. Our aim is to strengthen our defences against modern slavery each year and to ensure our actions remain effective, proportionate, and transparent.

Approval of This Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement has been approved by the leadership of Cleaner Holland Park and reflects our ongoing commitment to responsible and ethical business conduct. It will be updated as necessary and reviewed on an annual basis to ensure it remains accurate and relevant.
