Camden Carpet Cleaning Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the actions Camden Carpet Cleaning takes to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our business operations and supply chains. We are committed to conducting our activities ethically, transparently, and in accordance with applicable laws on modern slavery and human rights.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

Camden Carpet Cleaning has a clear zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, child labour, and exploitation. We expect the same high standards from everyone we work with, including employees, contractors, and suppliers. Any form of coercion, deception, or abuse of vulnerability in relation to work or recruitment is strictly prohibited within our business and supply chain.

We are committed to embedding respect for human rights into our day-to-day operations. This includes promoting fair working conditions, ensuring that all work is freely chosen, and that workers are free to leave employment upon reasonable notice.

Our Business and Supply Chain

Camden Carpet Cleaning provides professional carpet and upholstery cleaning services. Our operations rely on a supply chain that includes cleaning products, machinery, equipment, workwear, transportation, and occasional subcontracted services. We recognise that certain parts of this supply chain may be more exposed to modern slavery risks and we take steps to identify and reduce those risks.

We aim to work with reputable suppliers who share our commitment to ethical labour practices. We seek to build long-term relationships based on transparency, trust, and shared standards.

Supplier Standards and Audits

All suppliers and subcontractors are expected to comply with our ethical standards and to operate in full compliance with modern slavery and human trafficking legislation. We communicate our zero-tolerance approach and make clear that any breach may result in termination of the business relationship.

We carry out proportionate due diligence and audits on key suppliers, particularly where there may be higher risks. This may include requesting details about their labour practices, workforce conditions, recruitment processes, and the steps they take to prevent modern slavery in their own operations and supply chains.

Where necessary, we may conduct on-site assessments or request further documentation to verify compliance. If any concerns are identified, we will work with the supplier to address them promptly. If a supplier fails to remedy serious issues, we will consider suspending or ending the relationship.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Camden Carpet Cleaning encourages all employees, workers, and suppliers to report any concerns about modern slavery or unethical labour practices. Concerns can be raised through internal management channels or directly to senior leadership. Reports may be made confidentially, and we do not tolerate any form of victimisation or retaliation against individuals who raise concerns in good faith.

All reports of suspected modern slavery will be taken seriously, investigated promptly, and addressed appropriately. Where required, we will cooperate with relevant authorities.

Training and Awareness

We are committed to raising awareness of modern slavery risks among our team. Relevant staff receive guidance on identifying signs of exploitation, understanding our zero-tolerance policy, and knowing how to escalate concerns. We aim to foster a culture in which employees feel responsible for upholding human rights and empowered to speak up.

Monitoring, Annual Review, and Continuous Improvement

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually by senior management to evaluate its effectiveness and to ensure it reflects any changes in our business structure, supply chain, or relevant legislation. As part of this review, we consider feedback from audits, reported concerns, and any incident investigations.

We are committed to continuous improvement. Over time, we aim to strengthen our due diligence processes, enhance supplier engagement, and refine our training so that we can better prevent, identify, and address the risks of modern slavery in our operations and supply chains.

This statement has been approved by the leadership of Camden Carpet Cleaning and represents our ongoing commitment to ethical business conduct and the protection of human rights.
