Modern Slavery Statement

Enfield Cleaner Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps Enfield Cleaner takes to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to respect and promote human rights and to act ethically in all aspects of our business. This statement applies to all staff, contractors, and suppliers engaged by Enfield Cleaner.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

Enfield Cleaner has a strict zero-tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, bonded labour, child labour, servitude, and human trafficking. We do not accept, condone, or ignore any practice that exploits people, whether within our own business or in our supply chains. Any confirmed involvement in modern slavery will lead to decisive action, which may include the termination of employment or commercial relationships and, where appropriate, reporting to relevant authorities.

Our leadership team is responsible for promoting a culture where respect, fairness, and lawful conduct are fundamental. All managers are expected to reinforce this culture by ensuring that their teams understand and act in line with our zero-tolerance stance.

Our Operations and Supply Chains

Enfield Cleaner provides cleaning and related services. Our operations rely on both direct employees and third-party suppliers who provide cleaning products, equipment, and specialist services. We recognise that modern slavery risks can arise at different stages of the supply chain, especially where there is low-skilled or temporary work, or where goods are sourced from higher-risk regions.

We are committed to working only with suppliers and partners who share our values and who can demonstrate that they operate in a lawful, transparent, and ethical manner.

Supplier Standards and Audits

We have established clear expectations for suppliers regarding labour practices, working conditions, and respect for human rights. These expectations are communicated through our supplier requirements and form part of our commercial relationships. Suppliers are expected to ensure that their own supply chains also comply with these standards.

To support our zero-tolerance policy, Enfield Cleaner conducts proportionate supplier checks, which may include pre-engagement risk assessments, review of relevant policies and certifications, and ongoing monitoring. Where risk is identified, we may carry out more detailed audits, request additional information, or conduct site visits. If a supplier is unwilling or unable to meet our standards, we will seek to work with them to address the issues. Persistent non-compliance or serious breaches may lead to suspension or termination of the relationship.

Employee Awareness and Reporting Channels

Employees, contractors, and suppliers are encouraged and expected to report any concerns relating to modern slavery or unethical labour practices. Reports may relate to our own operations or to the conduct of any supplier or business partner.

Concerns can be raised through normal management channels or, where individuals feel uncomfortable doing so, through alternative reporting routes provided internally. We treat all concerns seriously and, where possible and appropriate, handle reports sensitively and in confidence. No one will suffer any form of retaliation for raising a concern in good faith.

All staff are reminded of the signs of modern slavery and the importance of speaking up if something appears wrong or inconsistent with our values and policies.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

We recognise that tackling modern slavery is an ongoing process that requires continuous assessment and improvement. Enfield Cleaner regularly reviews its policies, risk assessment methods, and supplier engagement practices to strengthen our approach.

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually by our management team to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with legal requirements and good practice. As part of this review, we consider any incidents raised, audit findings, and changes within our operations or supply chains. Where necessary, we update our procedures and training to address identified risks and to reinforce our commitment to eradicating modern slavery.

By maintaining high standards, engaging constructively with our suppliers, and encouraging open reporting, Enfield Cleaner strives to ensure that our services are delivered with respect for human dignity and fundamental rights at every stage.
