Introduction
We are committed to eliminating acts of modern-day slavery and human trafficking within our
business and from within our supply chains.
Our annual turnover is under £36 million. Although we are not legally obliged to report on slavery and
human trafficking, this statement is in accordance with section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
It is our slavery and human trafficking statement.
Organisational structure, business and supply chains
We are a commercial cleaning and soft facilities management company in the UK.
Policy on slavery and human trafficking
We are committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in any part of our
business or in our supply chains. This policy reflects our commitment to acting ethically and with
integrity in all our business relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and
controls to ensure slavery and human trafficking are not taking place anywhere within our
organisation.
Due diligence
We consider ourselves to be a ‘low-risk’ business with regard to slavery and human trafficking.
However, we foster a culture that encourages identifying and reporting any such risks within our
business. We recruit all our employees directly or through recruitment agencies who are members of
the Recruitment and Employment Confederation. We do not recruit from outside the UK or use
agency workers.
Assessing and managing risk
We have a whistleblowing policy in place and as part of our efforts to identify and mitigate risks within
our supply chain, we are introducing systems to identify, assess and monitor potential risk areas.
Effectiveness in combating slavery and human trafficking
We have zero tolerance for slavery and human trafficking. To ensure that all those in our supply
chains comply with our values, we are putting in place a supply chain compliance program that will
require our suppliers to confirm that they have a slavery and human trafficking policy in place and that
they require the same from their suppliers.
Training
We are providing appropriate training to ensure that relevant employees understand the risks of
modern slavery and human trafficking within our business and supply chains.
