Modern Slavery Statement for Carpet Cleaner

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the commitment of our carpet cleaner business to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking across our operations and supply chain. Our policy is one of zero-tolerance toward forced labour, bonded labour and any form of exploitation. We are a professional carpet cleaning provider — a dedicated carpet-cleaner service that recognises the responsibility to protect workers and communities associated with our products and services.

Our statement covers all parts of our organisation, including direct employees, subcontractors and third-party suppliers involved in carpet cleaning, upholstery services and carpet maintenance. We regularly assess risks across the supply chain for our carpet cleaning operations, carpet cleaners network and procurement processes. We emphasise transparency and expect suppliers to adhere to the same standards we apply to ourselves.

We operate a supplier audits programme to identify and address risk. The programme includes on-site and remote audits, documentation reviews and worker interviews where feasible. Key elements of our supplier audit approach include:

• Verification of employment contracts, pay records and working hours.
• Checks on recruitment practices to prevent fees or debt bondage.
• Health and safety assessments for on-site carpet cleaning teams and subcontracted crews.

Policies and Supplier Controls

We maintain a clear zero-tolerance policy on modern slavery that is incorporated into supplier contracts and codes of conduct. Suppliers for our carpet cleaning products, cleaning equipment and staffing are required to certify compliance and permit audits. Our procurement team prioritises suppliers who demonstrate robust labour standards and a commitment to ethical labour practices across carpet and textile supply chains.

We provide multiple confidential reporting channels so that employees and external stakeholders can raise concerns about modern slavery or exploitation. Reporting methods include anonymous hotlines, secure online submissions and direct reporting to our compliance team. Reports are treated with confidentiality and investigated promptly. We ensure whistleblowers are protected from retaliation and that investigations are thorough, fair and documented.

Training is provided across the business to raise awareness of modern slavery risks in carpet cleaning, including how to spot signs of coercion or exploitative labour among cleaning crews and subcontractors. Our training materials are updated regularly to reflect emerging risks and best practices in the carpet cleaners sector.

Risk Management, Remediation and Review

We assess risk using a combination of country-level indicators, industry-specific intelligence and supplier performance data. Where risk is identified, we take proportionate and effective action, including remediation plans for affected workers, termination of contracts with non-compliant suppliers and collaboration with authorities or NGOs when appropriate. Our approach to remediation focuses on restoring rights, ensuring safe working conditions and preventing recurrence.

The board and senior leadership oversee implementation of this policy. We publish this statement to demonstrate our commitment and to be accountable to stakeholders. Our governance includes escalation processes for significant findings from supplier audits and independent review of our remediation outcomes.

We will carry out an annual review of modern slavery risks, the effectiveness of supplier audits, reporting channel usage and training outcomes. Results of the review inform continuous improvement measures for our carpet cleaning services, carpet maintenance supply chain and hiring practices. Strong governance, ongoing monitoring and a clear expectation of ethical conduct remain central to our commitment.

By this statement, our carpet cleaner company reaffirms its pledge to combat modern slavery and to work collaboratively with partners to ensure dignity, safety and lawful employment for all workers in our operations and supply chain.
