Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement

This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement is made on behalf of Deep Cleaning Greenwich. It outlines the steps we take to identify, prevent, and address the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to uphold human rights and to act ethically in all aspects of our business.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

Deep Cleaning Greenwich operates a clear zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and any form of exploitation. This applies to all employees, agency workers, contractors, and suppliers with whom we engage. We will not knowingly work with any organisation that fails to uphold these standards.

All business decisions are guided by our commitment to treating people with dignity and respect. We require that all individuals working on our behalf have the freedom to work voluntarily, are paid fairly in accordance with local laws, and work in safe conditions without coercion or intimidation.

Our Business and Supply Chains

Deep Cleaning Greenwich provides specialist cleaning services to residential, commercial, and public sector clients. Our supply chains include the sourcing of cleaning products, equipment, workwear, and various facilities services. We recognise that certain sectors and regions present higher risks of labour exploitation, and we pay particular attention to these areas.

We aim to work only with reputable suppliers and service providers who can demonstrate that they share our values and comply with relevant legislation relating to modern slavery and human rights.

Supplier Standards and Audits

We expect all suppliers to operate in a manner consistent with our zero-tolerance stance. As part of our supplier onboarding and ongoing management, we seek assurances that suppliers have policies and procedures in place to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in their own operations and supply chains.

Where appropriate, we conduct audits and due diligence checks to assess compliance. These may include requests for documented policies, evidence of right-to-work checks, details of recruitment practices, and information regarding labour standards. If we identify concerns or non-compliance, we will work with the supplier to implement corrective actions. Where remedial steps are not taken or are insufficient, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate the business relationship.

Risk Assessment and Due Diligence

We assess the risk of modern slavery in our business and supply chains by considering sector, geography, type of work, and labour sourcing methods. Higher risk activities are subject to enhanced scrutiny and due diligence. This can involve closer monitoring, more frequent audits, and a requirement for detailed evidence of policies and practices relating to ethical employment.

New suppliers and partners are reviewed prior to engagement, and existing relationships may be reassessed if circumstances change or if concerns are raised about labour practices.

Training, Awareness, and Reporting Channels

We are committed to raising awareness of modern slavery and ensuring that our staff understand the signs of exploitation and how to respond. Relevant employees receive guidance on identifying indicators of modern slavery and the internal processes for reporting concerns. We encourage everyone working for or with us to remain vigilant and to speak up if they suspect any form of abuse or coercion.

Concerns can be reported through our internal management channels or directly to senior leadership. Reports can be made in confidence, and we will take all concerns seriously. We will not tolerate any form of victimisation or retaliation against individuals who raise issues in good faith.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

Deep Cleaning Greenwich is committed to continuous improvement in our approach to preventing modern slavery. We review this statement and our supporting procedures at least once a year, or more frequently if required by changes in legislation, guidance, or identified risks.

The annual review considers the effectiveness of our current measures, outcomes of supplier audits, feedback from employees, and any issues or incidents reported. Where necessary, we strengthen our policies, increase training, or enhance our due diligence processes to better protect workers and uphold our ethical responsibilities.

This statement has been approved by the leadership of Deep Cleaning Greenwich and represents our ongoing commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in our business and supply chains.
