Modern Slavery Statement for Cleaners Mayfair
This Modern Slavery Statement is made by Cleaners Mayfair in recognition of our responsibility to identify, prevent and address modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. We are committed to ethical conduct, respect for human rights and full compliance with applicable legislation related to modern slavery.
Our Zero-Tolerance Approach
Cleaners Mayfair maintains a clear and unequivocal zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, bonded labour, human trafficking, child labour, servitude and any other form of exploitation. We do not accept, condone or benefit from any practices that compromise the freedom, dignity or safety of individuals working for or with us.
This commitment applies to all areas of our business, including our directly employed staff, agency workers, contractors and any person engaged through our supply chain. We expect everyone representing Cleaners Mayfair to conduct themselves in accordance with this policy and to act promptly if they encounter any concerns.
Our People and Working Practices
We strive to provide a fair, safe and respectful working environment. Employment with Cleaners Mayfair is voluntary, and workers are free to leave in line with their contractual obligations. We implement fair recruitment and selection practices and do not charge workers recruitment fees. We verify the identity and right to work of all employees and ensure that no one is employed under conditions that could indicate forced or compulsory labour.
We are committed to paying employees fairly for the work they perform in line with applicable wage requirements and to providing clear information about pay, hours and employment conditions. We do not tolerate any form of intimidation, abuse or harassment.
Supply Chain Standards and Supplier Audits
Our supply chain includes suppliers of cleaning products, equipment, uniforms and ancillary services. Cleaners Mayfair requires all suppliers and contractors to uphold the same standards on modern slavery that we apply to our own operations.
We communicate our expectations through our procurement processes and supplier terms. Where appropriate, we seek assurances from suppliers regarding their own actions to prevent modern slavery, including policies, training and due diligence measures. We may request documentation or declarations that confirm compliance with modern slavery legislation and ethical labour standards.
Cleaners Mayfair undertakes risk-based supplier audits and reviews. These may include site visits, management discussions and examination of employment records where relevant and appropriate. If we identify non-compliance or potential risk indicators, we will work with the supplier on corrective actions or, where necessary, reconsider or terminate the relationship.
Reporting Concerns and Speaking Up
We encourage all employees, agency workers, contractors and other stakeholders to raise concerns about any issue or suspicion of modern slavery in any part of our business or supply chain. Concerns may relate to working conditions, recruitment practices, treatment of workers or any behaviour that appears coercive, deceptive or exploitative.
Reports can be made to line managers or senior management within Cleaners Mayfair. Concerns may be raised anonymously if the individual prefers. We will treat all reports seriously, investigate them promptly and, where appropriate, take corrective or disciplinary action. We are committed to ensuring that no one who raises a concern in good faith suffers any form of retaliation or disadvantage as a result.
Training, Awareness and Continuous Improvement
Cleaners Mayfair is committed to increasing awareness of modern slavery risks and indicators amongst relevant staff, particularly those involved in recruitment, procurement and supplier management. We provide guidance and training to help colleagues recognise potential warning signs and understand how to respond.
We recognise that the risks of modern slavery can evolve over time and may be present in unexpected areas. We therefore seek to learn from our own experience, industry guidance and best practice to strengthen our controls, monitoring and engagement with suppliers.
Annual Review and Governance
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually by the leadership of Cleaners Mayfair to ensure it remains accurate, effective and aligned with legal requirements and emerging best practice. As part of the review, we consider any incidents reported, audit findings, changes in our supply chains and feedback from stakeholders.
Where opportunities for improvement are identified, we will update our policies, procedures and training accordingly. By maintaining regular oversight and governance over our approach to modern slavery, Cleaners Mayfair aims to minimise risks, enhance transparency and uphold the highest ethical standards throughout our operations and supply chains.
