Modern Slavery Statement

Pimlico Cleaner Modern Slavery Statement

Pimlico Cleaner is committed to conducting business in an ethical, transparent, and responsible manner. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps we take to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. It supports our commitment to respecting human rights and promoting fair working conditions for everyone connected to our business.

Our Zero-Tolerance Policy

Pimlico Cleaner has a zero-tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, bonded labour, human trafficking, and child labour. We expect the same high standards from everyone we work with, including employees, temporary staff, contractors, suppliers, and other business partners.

No form of exploitation is acceptable in any part of our operations or supply chain. Any suspected breach of this policy will be taken seriously, investigated promptly, and may result in the termination of contracts or relationships, as well as reporting to relevant authorities where appropriate.

Our Business and Supply Chains

Pimlico Cleaner provides professional cleaning services to residential and commercial clients. Our supply chains include providers of cleaning products, equipment, workwear, and facilities-related services. We recognise that modern slavery risks can arise at various levels of the supply chain, particularly where labour-intensive work or outsourced services are involved.

We are committed to working only with suppliers and partners who uphold lawful and ethical labour practices and who can demonstrate their commitment to preventing modern slavery.

Supplier Standards and Audits

We require our key suppliers and contractors to comply with all applicable labour, employment, and human rights legislation. As part of our due diligence, we assess suppliers based on their policies, working conditions, and ability to demonstrate responsible business practices.

Where appropriate, we conduct supplier audits or request documentation to verify compliance with our expectations. These checks may include reviewing policies on modern slavery, assessing recruitment practices, and confirming that wages, working hours, and conditions meet or exceed legal standards.

If a supplier is found to be in breach of our requirements, we will work with them to resolve the issue where possible. However, where serious or repeated breaches are identified, we will consider suspending or ending the relationship.

Reporting Concerns and Whistleblowing

Pimlico Cleaner encourages all employees, contractors, and other stakeholders to raise concerns about any issue or suspicion of modern slavery in any part of our business or supply chain. We are committed to ensuring that individuals who speak up in good faith are protected from retaliation or detrimental treatment.

Concerns can be raised through internal reporting routes or directly to senior management. All reports will be treated sensitively and, where possible, confidentially. We will investigate all credible concerns and take appropriate action, including notifying relevant authorities if necessary.

Training and Awareness

We aim to increase awareness of modern slavery risks among our staff, particularly those involved in recruitment, procurement, and supplier management. Training and guidance are provided so that employees can recognise indicators of exploitation and understand how to respond to concerns.

We also encourage our suppliers and partners to develop their own training and awareness programmes so that good practice is embedded throughout the wider supply chain.

Ongoing Review and Annual Assessment

Pimlico Cleaner recognises that addressing modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility. We regularly review our policies, procedures, and supply chain controls to improve our approach and respond to emerging risks.

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least once a year by the senior management team. As part of this annual review, we assess the effectiveness of our actions, consider feedback from stakeholders, and update our practices where required. Any significant changes to our approach will be reflected in the updated statement.

By continually strengthening our processes and maintaining clear expectations of our people and partners, Pimlico Cleaner seeks to play a positive role in eliminating modern slavery and protecting the rights and dignity of all workers.
