Our business employs people fairly and expects the same from every supplier, contractor, and partner.

To address this, we apply due diligence at onboarding and throughout our trading relationships.

Our Zero-Tolerance Policy

We maintain a strict zero-tolerance policy toward any form of slavery or exploitation. Any supplier, subcontractor, or worker found to be engaging in abusive recruitment, coercion, deception, or unlawful labour practices may face immediate corrective action, suspension, or termination of the relationship. This policy applies equally to direct and indirect labour providers.

No person should be forced to work against their will, and no one should be denied freedom of movement, fair wages, or access to their personal documents. Our approach reflects the values of Fulham Cleaners as a responsible service provider that places people first.

The policy is communicated internally and reinforced through management oversight. Leaders are expected to act promptly when concerns arise and to record decisions carefully. Where there is a credible risk of exploitation, we will support investigation, remediation, and cooperation with relevant authorities where appropriate.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

We conduct supplier audits to assess compliance with our ethical standards. These reviews may include checks on labour sourcing, wage records, working hours, identity verification processes, subcontracting arrangements, and worker welfare measures. Suppliers are expected to cooperate fully and provide accurate information when requested.

Risk-based monitoring is applied to higher-risk categories, including outsourced labour and temporary staffing. Our modern slavery statement framework also includes periodic review of supplier performance, contract clauses requiring lawful employment practices, and escalation procedures when indicators of abuse are identified. Non-compliant suppliers are required to implement corrective actions within a defined timeframe.

We also expect suppliers to cascade these expectations through their own supply chains. Fulham Cleaner modern slavery controls are designed not only to check compliance but to encourage continuous improvement. Where necessary, we may request evidence of training, policy implementation, or worker communication methods to confirm that protections are genuinely in place.

Reporting Channels and Investigation

Anyone who suspects exploitation can raise concerns through internal reporting channels. Reports are treated seriously, handled confidentially, and reviewed without retaliation. We encourage employees, agency staff, and supply chain partners to report concerns involving coercion, unsafe conditions, document retention, or any other form of abuse.
