Cleaner Pimlico Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps Cleaner Pimlico has taken, and continues to take, to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. We are committed to upholding the highest ethical standards and ensuring that the people who work for and with us are treated with dignity, respect, and fairness.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

Cleaner Pimlico has a clear zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, servitude, human trafficking, and child labour. We will not knowingly engage with any organisation that is involved in, or fails to take adequate steps to prevent, such practices. This commitment applies to our own employees, contractors, agency workers, and all third parties we work with across our services and supply chains.

We are dedicated to creating and maintaining a working environment where exploitation is never accepted, and where ethical conduct and compliance with applicable laws are fundamental expectations for everyone involved in our business.

Our Business and Supply Chains

Cleaner Pimlico provides professional cleaning services to residential and commercial clients. Our supply chains include providers of cleaning products, equipment, uniforms, facilities services, and various professional and support services. We recognise that risks of modern slavery can exist at different levels of these supply chains, particularly where there is reliance on low-paid or migrant labour or complex subcontracting structures.

We work proactively with our suppliers and partners to promote transparent, fair, and ethical practices. We expect those we work with to uphold the same standards we set for ourselves.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We have implemented due diligence procedures to assess and manage the risk of modern slavery in our supply chains. Before entering into or renewing a business relationship, we consider the supplier’s policies, labour practices, and history of compliance with employment and human rights legislation.

Supplier contracts and agreements incorporate our expectations around ethical conduct, human rights, and modern slavery prevention. Where appropriate, we reserve the right to audit suppliers to verify compliance. These audits may review documentation, labour records, working conditions, and recruitment practices. Where concerns are identified, we will seek corrective action plans with clear timescales, and where serious or persistent non-compliance occurs, we are prepared to terminate the relationship.

Training, Awareness, and Responsibilities

Cleaner Pimlico is committed to raising awareness of modern slavery risks among our management team and relevant staff. Training is provided to those involved in recruitment, procurement, and supplier management so they can identify warning signs and respond appropriately to potential issues.

Management at all levels is responsible for ensuring that those reporting to them understand and comply with this statement and with any related policies. Everyone in our organisation is expected to contribute to a culture of vigilance and ethical conduct.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We encourage anyone who works for or with Cleaner Pimlico to report any concerns they may have about possible modern slavery, unethical behaviour, or breaches of this statement. Concerns can be raised with a line manager, senior management, or through our internal reporting channels. Reports will be taken seriously, handled sensitively, and investigated promptly.

We do not tolerate any form of victimisation or retaliation against individuals who, in good faith, raise concerns or assist in investigations. Where appropriate, we will work with relevant authorities and organisations to address substantiated issues.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

Cleaner Pimlico is committed to continuous improvement in identifying, preventing, and responding to modern slavery risks. We regularly review our processes, training, and supplier management to enhance our effectiveness in this area.

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually by our leadership team to ensure it remains accurate, effective, and aligned with current legislation and best practice. Updates may be made more frequently if there are significant changes to our business, supply chains, or the regulatory environment.

This statement has been approved by the management of Cleaner Pimlico and represents our ongoing commitment to conducting business in a responsible, transparent, and ethical manner.
