Modern Slavery Statement for Cleaners E3

Cleaners E3 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 slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking in our operations and across our supply chains. We recognise that ethical cleaning services depend on fair treatment, safe working conditions, and responsible procurement.

Our zero-tolerance policy applies to every part of Cleaners E3. We do not tolerate any form of exploitation, whether direct or indirect, and we expect the same standard from every supplier, subcontractor, and partner. This policy is embedded in our recruitment, onboarding, and commercial processes to help ensure that the people connected to Cleaners E3 are treated lawfully and respectfully.

We also carry out risk assessments to identify areas where modern slavery risks may exist, particularly in labour-intensive services, outsourced support, and high-turnover supply chains. The findings help us strengthen our controls, review supplier relationships, and maintain a clear commitment to responsible cleaning operations.

Supplier due diligence is central to our approach. Before appointing or renewing suppliers, we assess their labour practices, policies, and working conditions. Where appropriate, we request evidence of training, contractual safeguards, and verification of worker rights. We expect suppliers to uphold the same standards that guide Cleaners E3 services and to demonstrate an active commitment to preventing exploitation.

In addition to initial screening, we conduct supplier audits on a regular basis and where concerns arise. These audits may include document checks, site visits, interviews, and reviews of subcontracting arrangements. If non-compliance is identified, we require corrective action within defined timeframes and may suspend or end relationships where necessary. This process supports a stronger anti-slavery framework throughout our supply chain.

Training is provided to staff involved in procurement, management, and supervision so they can recognise warning signs and respond appropriately. We believe that awareness is essential for maintaining a culture of accountability. Our approach to modern slavery prevention includes clear guidance on escalation, evidence gathering, and the protection of vulnerable workers.

Reporting channels are available for employees, contractors, and suppliers who wish to raise concerns in good faith. Reports may be made through internal management routes or via the designated safeguarding process. We encourage prompt reporting of suspected abuse, coercion, wage irregularities, identity document retention, or any other practice that may indicate exploitation. All concerns are handled sensitively and investigated with appropriate urgency.

Cleaners E3 prohibits retaliation against anyone who raises a concern or assists in an investigation. This commitment helps ensure that workers can speak up safely and that potential issues are addressed before they escalate. The protection of whistleblowers is a key part of our broader human rights commitment and supports the integrity of our cleaning supply chain.

We maintain records of risk assessments, supplier checks, audit outcomes, and reported concerns so that our controls remain measurable and traceable. These records allow us to monitor trends and identify opportunities for improvement across Cleaners E3 modern slavery controls.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains accurate, effective, and aligned with legal requirements and operational changes. The annual review considers supplier performance, audit findings, training completion, incident reports, and updates to our risk profile. Where improvements are identified, they are incorporated into revised policies and procedures.

Through continuous review and a firm zero-tolerance stance, Cleaners E3 aims to prevent modern slavery in every area of its work. We remain committed to strengthening due diligence, improving oversight, and promoting fair working practices across our business and supplier network.
