Cleaner Knightsbridge Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement is made by Cleaner Knightsbridge in recognition of the responsibility we share to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms. It outlines the steps we take to identify, mitigate, and address risks of exploitation within our operations and supply chains. Cleaner Knightsbridge is committed to conducting business ethically, transparently, and in full respect of human rights.

Our Zero-Tolerance Policy

Cleaner Knightsbridge maintains a clear and unequivocal zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour. We do not accept, condone, or ignore any practice that exploits individuals or undermines their fundamental rights and freedoms. This commitment applies to all our employees, contractors, agency workers, and suppliers, regardless of location or function.

All commercial relationships are subject to this policy. Where we identify non-compliance, we will seek immediate corrective action. If the issue cannot be resolved to our satisfaction, Cleaner Knightsbridge reserves the right to suspend or terminate the relationship.

Our Supply Chain and Supplier Standards

Our services rely on a supply chain that may include cleaning product manufacturers, equipment providers, staffing agencies, and facilities management partners. We recognise that risks can arise at any stage and we therefore expect all suppliers and business partners to share our commitment to preventing modern slavery.

Supplier standards are communicated during onboarding and reinforced through contractual terms that require compliance with all applicable labour and human rights laws. Suppliers are expected to maintain safe working conditions, pay fair wages, prohibit any form of forced or bonded labour, and ensure that workers are employed of their own free will.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

Cleaner Knightsbridge conducts proportionate due diligence and audits on suppliers considered to present higher modern slavery risks. This may include pre-engagement assessments, document reviews, and site visits where appropriate. We evaluate working conditions, recruitment practices, and policies on labour rights and human trafficking.

Where risks or concerns are identified, we work collaboratively with suppliers to develop and implement corrective actions within defined timeframes. Failure to address concerns can result in reduction or termination of contracts. Our objective is both to uphold standards and to encourage continuous improvement throughout our supply chain.

Employee Awareness and Training

We provide guidance and training for relevant employees, particularly those involved in procurement, recruitment, and contract management. Training covers the nature of modern slavery, common warning signs, and the procedures for escalating concerns. We emphasise that everyone has a role in identifying and preventing exploitation.

Employees are reminded that any suspicion of modern slavery must be treated seriously and reported without delay. We promote a culture in which concerns can be raised safely and are handled sensitively.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Cleaner Knightsbridge encourages all employees, workers, contractors, and suppliers to report any concerns or suspicions of modern slavery, whether within our own operations or in our supply chains. Reports can be made through internal management channels or via our established whistleblowing routes.

We do not tolerate victimisation or retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith. All reports are investigated promptly and, where appropriate, escalated to senior management for action. If we identify actual or potential instances of modern slavery, we will act swiftly, which may include notifying relevant authorities and engaging specialist support.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

Cleaner Knightsbridge is committed to continual improvement in our approach to identifying and addressing modern slavery risks. We review this Modern Slavery Statement annually to reflect changes in legislation, industry good practice, and our own evolving risk profile. As part of this review, we assess the effectiveness of our policies, training, and supplier due diligence procedures.

Where necessary, we update our practices, enhance our controls, and strengthen engagement with suppliers and employees. By reviewing and improving our approach each year, Cleaner Knightsbridge aims to contribute meaningfully to the wider effort to eradicate modern slavery and to ensure that our services are delivered with integrity and respect for human rights.
