Modern Slavery Statement — Bathroom Cleaning and Hygiene Services

Zero-Tolerance Policy: This Modern Slavery Statement for bathroom cleaning operations and supply chains sets out our clear, non-negotiable commitment to the elimination of forced labour, human trafficking and all forms of modern slavery across our bathroom cleaning services. We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards exploitative practices and expect the same standards from every partner in our bathroom-cleaning supply chain. Our aim is to protect workers, ensure fair working conditions and maintain the highest ethical standards in both residential bathroom cleaning and commercial washroom services.

We recognise that risks can arise at any point in the procurement of cleaning products, equipment and labour for washroom maintenance. This statement applies to all operations including on-site restroom sanitation, deep cleaning of tiled areas, and janitorial bathroom cleaning contracts. We require all staff, contractors and suppliers to comply with our policy and to report concerns immediately through available channels.

Supplier Standards and Risk Assessment

Our supplier code of conduct explicitly prohibits child labour, forced labour, withholding of wages, exploitative overtime and the use of deceptive recruitment practices. We carry out a formal risk assessment of suppliers to identify higher-risk categories such as sub-contracted labour for large-scale commercial bathroom cleaning projects and the sourcing of low-cost cleaning consumables. The expectations for ethical sourcing and worker treatment are included in all contracts and supplier agreements.

Supplier Audits and Monitoring

To enforce these standards we conduct regular supplier audits and on-site inspections. Audits include documentary checks, worker interviews and verification of wage records where permitted. Our audit process for bathroom-cleaning suppliers includes:

• Independent risk-based audits of production and distribution partners;
• Spot checks on cleaning teams engaged in commercial washroom cleaning contracts;
• Verification of recruitment practices and worker contracts;
• Corrective action plans with timelines where non-compliance is found.

Where significant concerns are identified, we will suspend procurement, require remediation and, if necessary, terminate relationships with suppliers who do not commit to prompt corrective action. These measures apply equally to manufacturers of bathroom cleaning chemicals, suppliers of disposable wipes and providers of outsourced cleaning labour.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing — We maintain confidential reporting channels that allow employees, temporary workers and external stakeholders to report suspected modern slavery without fear of retaliation. Reports can be made anonymously through internal hotlines and third-party reporting services that protect whistleblowers. We encourage all personnel involved in restroom cleaning, tile and grout maintenance, and sanitaryware servicing to report concerns immediately.

All reports are treated seriously. Our investigative process is prompt and proportionate: allegations are triaged, investigated by dedicated compliance staff, and appropriate remedial action is taken. We also provide training for managers and supervisors in the bathroom cleaning teams to recognise indicators of forced labour and to follow escalation protocols.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement — We review this Modern Slavery Statement and our enforcement practices at least once every 12 months. The annual review evaluates audit outcomes, incident reports, changes in the risk profile for bathroom cleaning sectors and updates to contractual terms. Where necessary, we enhance supplier assessment tools, increase monitoring frequency, and refresh staff training on ethical procurement for restroom cleaning services.
