Modern Slavery Statement for Carpetcleaning SE15

Carpetcleaning SE15 is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, forced labor, human trafficking, child labor, and other forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that the risk of abuse can exist in any sector, including facilities, cleaning, procurement, transport, and subcontracted services.

Our approach is grounded in a zero-tolerance policy. We do not accept any form of slavery or servitude in our business, and we expect the same standard from every supplier, contractor, and partner. Any identified breach is treated seriously and may lead to immediate corrective action, contract suspension, or termination where necessary. This position applies across all activities associated with Carpetcleaning SE15, including labour sourcing, equipment supply, and service delivery.

We require all relevant suppliers to comply with applicable labor laws, ethical recruitment standards, and responsible working conditions. Before onboarding a new supplier, we complete due diligence checks focused on ownership, labor practices, country risk, and subcontracting arrangements. Where concerns are identified, we request clarification, evidence, or remedial action before progressing the relationship. We also promote ethical sourcing as a core expectation across the Carpetcleaning SE15 modern slavery program.

Supplier oversight is not a one-time exercise. We carry out supplier audits on a risk-based basis, with priority given to high-risk categories and higher-risk geographies. Audits may include document reviews, worker welfare checks, pay and hour assessments, and verification of recruitment practices. If a supplier is unable to meet our standards, we work with them to improve conditions; however, repeated or serious non-compliance may result in removal from our approved supplier list.

We also require suppliers to confirm that they do not use forced, bonded, or involuntary labor and that they have their own safeguards in place. Contracts may include specific clauses on compliance, transparency, and cooperation with investigations. By embedding these expectations into procurement and vendor management, Carpetcleaning SE15 strengthens prevention rather than relying on reactive measures alone.

Training is an important part of our compliance framework. Staff involved in procurement, scheduling, and supplier management receive guidance on identifying warning signs such as unusual payment deductions, restricted movement, document retention, or workers who appear unable to speak freely about their employment. This helps us detect risks earlier and respond appropriately.

We maintain clear reporting channels so that concerns can be raised safely and without fear of retaliation. Employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders are encouraged to report suspected modern slavery concerns through internal management routes or designated safeguarding procedures. Reports may be made anonymously where permitted by internal process, and all allegations are reviewed promptly and discreetly. Any substantiated issue triggers an investigation and, where appropriate, referral to the relevant authorities.

Our reporting culture is based on openness, accountability, and protection for whistleblowers. No person raising a genuine concern in good faith will suffer detriment. We treat allegations with seriousness because early reporting is one of the most effective tools for preventing exploitation and protecting vulnerable individuals within the supply chain of Carpetcleaning SE15.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, current, and aligned with legal duties and operational risks. Each review considers audit findings, supplier performance, training needs, incident reports, and any changes in legislation or business structure. Where improvement opportunities are identified, we update our controls and strengthen our prevention measures. Through this annual review cycle, Carpetcleaning SE15 demonstrates its ongoing commitment to ethical business, human dignity, and the elimination of modern slavery in all its forms.
