Modern Slavery Statement for Cleaner Canarywharf
Cleaner Canarywharf is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and other forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that the risk of abuse can exist in any sector, including cleaning, facilities support, recruitment, logistics, and outsourced services. For that reason, our approach is grounded in clear standards, active oversight, and a zero-tolerance policy toward all forms of modern slavery.
Our commitment applies to every part of the business. We expect directors, managers, employees, contractors, and suppliers to act lawfully and ethically at all times. This Cleaner Canarywharf modern slavery statement supports our wider values by promoting fair treatment, safe working conditions, and responsible sourcing. We also seek to ensure that workers are never subjected to coercion, deception, withheld identity documents, or unfair deductions from wages. These principles guide our decision-making and help us build resilient and responsible relationships across the supply chain.
To reduce risk, we maintain procedures designed to identify and address concerns early. New and existing suppliers are assessed against ethical and labour standards, with priority given to those that can demonstrate compliance with employment law, right-to-work checks, and transparent subcontracting practices. Where appropriate, Cleaner Canarywharf carries out supplier audits and requests supporting documentation relating to workforce management, payroll, and recruitment practices. If a supplier falls short of our expectations, we may require immediate corrective action, suspend further work, or terminate the relationship.
The company also takes a preventive approach in recruitment and onboarding. We do not permit any fee-charging practices that could trap workers in debt bondage, and we expect labour providers to follow the same standard. In addition, staff involved in procurement and contract management receive guidance on recognising warning signs such as unusual turnover, restricted movement, poor accommodation, or signs that workers are controlled by someone other than their employer. This helps Cleaner Canarywharf remain alert to the realities of modern slavery risks in service-based supply chains.
Training and awareness are central to our anti-slavery controls. Relevant employees are informed about how to escalate concerns, how to respond safely if exploitation is suspected, and how to preserve evidence without putting anyone at risk. Our internal procedures encourage openness, vigilance, and accountability. We believe that awareness is essential to supporting a workplace culture where exploitation cannot be normalised. By strengthening knowledge across the organisation, Cleaner Canarywharf anti-slavery measures remain practical, consistent, and effective.
We provide multiple reporting channels so that concerns about modern slavery can be raised promptly and in confidence. Reports may be made through management, compliance or HR routes, or via formal incident reporting processes. Concerns can be raised by employees, agency workers, contractors, or suppliers, and we expect all allegations to be treated seriously and investigated without retaliation. Where a concern indicates an immediate risk to a worker, we will act swiftly to protect those affected and to involve appropriate specialist support where required.
Our response to any credible allegation will be proportionate and decisive. Depending on the circumstances, this may include enhanced due diligence, site visits, worker interviews, document checks, temporary suspension of a supplier, or referral to relevant authorities. We will not knowingly continue business with any party that fails to uphold our standards. This Cleaner Canarywharf modern slavery policy reflects our belief that responsible business must be proactive, not passive, in preventing exploitation.
We also recognise that modern slavery can be hidden and may evolve over time. For that reason, this statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, current, and aligned with legal requirements and business practice. The annual review considers audit outcomes, reported concerns, supplier performance, training needs, and any changes in risk exposure. Where improvements are identified, we update our procedures and strengthen controls accordingly. This ongoing cycle of assessment and action supports continuous improvement across Cleaner Canarywharf.
In summary, Cleaner Canarywharf stands firmly against all forms of exploitation. Through our zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, reporting channels, and annual review process, we aim to protect workers, uphold ethical standards, and contribute to a fairer and safer economy. We remain committed to working with others who share these values and to maintaining robust safeguards against modern slavery in every part of our business.
