Modern Slavery Statement — Warehouse Floor Cleaning Commitment

Workers cleaning a warehouse floor with safety equipment Introduction: This Modern Slavery Statement describes our commitment to eliminating forced labour, human trafficking and exploitation in our warehouse floor cleaning operations and associated supply chains. We recognise that ethical warehouse floor cleaning, warehouse floor maintenance and responsible industrial floor cleaning are essential to protecting workers and maintaining safe, compliant facilities. Our approach is rooted in a zero-tolerance policy and continuous improvement across procurement, on-site services and contractor management.

We operate with a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery, including forced labour, debt bondage and exploitative recruitment practices within the domain of floor cleaning in warehouses. All staff, cleaning contractors and suppliers are expected to comply with this policy and demonstrate respect for human rights, fair wages and safe working conditions as part of our warehouse cleaning of floors programme.

Key Measures and Controls

We have implemented practical controls to prevent modern slavery across our warehouse floor cleaning activities. These measures include:

  • Supplier due diligence and audits: Regular supplier audits and assessments of cleaners, contractor agencies and chemical suppliers to verify contracts, payroll records and working conditions.
  • Contract clauses: Mandatory anti-slavery clauses in agreements for all warehouse floor maintenance providers and service partners.
  • Worker verification: Verification of worker eligibility to work, transparent recruitment practices and prohibition of recruitment fee charging by any recruitment agency used for floor cleaning roles.

Supplier Audits and Monitoring

We conduct supplier audits on a scheduled and unannounced basis. Our audit protocol for warehouse floor cleaning suppliers examines employment contracts, wage records, working hours, accommodation where provided, and grievance mechanisms. Audit findings trigger corrective action plans and, where necessary, termination of contracts for non-compliance. We use a tiered audit frequency based on risk — higher-risk suppliers receive more frequent checks and remediation support.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing We provide multiple safe reporting channels for workers, contractors and the public to raise concerns about exploitation related to warehouse floor cleaning services. Reports can be made confidentially and anonymously through internal reporting hotlines, third-party whistleblower platforms and through designated compliance officers. All reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and protected against retaliation.

Our reporting process emphasises transparency and accountability. Investigations follow documented procedures and may include on-site inspections, interviews and collaboration with labour authorities when required. We maintain records of all reports and corrective actions taken to mitigate the risk of modern slavery in floor cleaning in warehouses.
