Modern Slavery Statement

Modern Slavery Statement for Fulham Cleaner

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps Fulham Cleaner has taken, and continues to take, to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our business operations and supply chains. Fulham Cleaner provides professional cleaning services and recognises its responsibility to uphold the highest standards of human rights, labour practices, and ethical conduct.

Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

Fulham Cleaner has a zero-tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, servitude, and child labour. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure that modern slavery does not occur in our own operations or in any part of our supply chain.

We expect the same high standards from all our suppliers, contractors, and business partners. Any actual or suspected involvement in modern slavery is regarded as gross misconduct and may result in termination of contracts or business relationships, in addition to any legal or regulatory consequences.

Our Business and Supply Chains

Fulham Cleaner operates within the cleaning and facilities services sector, engaging both direct employees and carefully selected subcontractors where necessary. Our supply chain includes providers of cleaning equipment, chemicals, workwear, and ancillary services that support our day-to-day operations.

We recognise that some parts of our supply chain may be more exposed to risks of modern slavery, particularly where there are lower-skilled roles, subcontracted labour, or procurement from higher-risk geographic regions. We therefore apply enhanced due diligence and ongoing monitoring in these areas.

Supplier Standards and Audits

We are committed to working only with suppliers and partners who share our values. As part of our supplier onboarding and ongoing management processes, we require suppliers to confirm that they comply with all applicable laws on modern slavery, human trafficking, labour rights, and workplace safety.

Where appropriate, we undertake risk-based supplier audits to assess compliance with our standards, including verification of employment practices, working conditions, and the use of any subcontracted labour. These audits may include site visits, interviews, document reviews, and written declarations. If an audit reveals non-compliance or heightened risk, we will work with the supplier on corrective action plans, and we reserve the right to suspend or end the relationship where improvements are not made within agreed timeframes.

Policies, Training, and Employee Awareness

Our approach to modern slavery is supported by internal policies that cover ethical conduct, recruitment, whistleblowing, and health and safety. We are committed to fair recruitment practices and do not charge workers recruitment fees or engage agencies that do so. Identification documents remain with employees and are never retained as a condition of employment.

We provide employees and managers with information and, where relevant, training on recognising indicators of modern slavery and on how to respond to concerns. This helps to ensure that our people understand the risks and their responsibilities to report anything that raises doubts about the treatment of workers.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Fulham Cleaner encourages a culture of openness and accountability. Employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders are encouraged to report any concerns related to modern slavery or unethical labour practices within our operations or supply chains. Concerns can be raised confidentially through internal reporting channels or directly to management.

All reports are taken seriously, investigated promptly, and handled sensitively. We do not tolerate any form of victimisation or retaliation against individuals who raise concerns in good faith. Where investigations identify issues, we will take appropriate remedial action and, where necessary, cooperate with relevant authorities.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

Fulham Cleaner is committed to continuously improving its approach to identifying and managing the risks of modern slavery. We regularly review our risk assessments, supplier controls, training materials, and internal policies to ensure they remain effective and proportionate.

This Modern Slavery Statement will be reviewed at least annually by senior management to reflect our evolving business operations, emerging risks, and best practice guidance. Any updates or changes resulting from the review will be implemented promptly, communicated internally, and made available to interested stakeholders.

This statement has been approved by the leadership of Fulham Cleaner and demonstrates our ongoing commitment to preventing modern slavery in our business and supply chains.
