Modern Slavery Statement for Lambeth Cleaner

Lambeth Cleaner is committed to conducting its business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can affect many sectors and that vigilance is required at every level of business activity.

Our zero-tolerance policy applies to all employees, contractors, and suppliers. We do not accept any form of slavery, servitude, child labour, debt bondage, or coercive labour practices. Every person working with or for Lambeth Cleaner is expected to act ethically and to uphold the principles of dignity, fairness, and lawful employment. This commitment is embedded in our internal procedures and forms part of our procurement and employment standards.

As part of our due diligence, we carry out supplier audits and risk-based checks to assess the ethical standards of the businesses we work with. These reviews may include supplier questionnaires, policy verification, labour-practice assessments, and follow-up monitoring where risks are identified. We prioritise suppliers that demonstrate strong compliance systems, transparent labour practices, and a clear commitment to preventing exploitation.

Our Commitment and Controls

We expect our suppliers to maintain appropriate safeguards throughout their own operations and supply chains. Where concerns arise, we investigate promptly and may require corrective action, additional oversight, or termination of the relationship if standards are not met. This approach supports a cleaner, safer, and more responsible supply chain for Lambeth Cleaner and helps reduce the risk of hidden labour abuse.

Training and internal awareness are important parts of our approach. Staff involved in recruitment, procurement, and contract management are encouraged to identify warning signs of exploitation, such as unusual labour arrangements, restricted freedom of movement, withheld documents, or inconsistent pay practices. By remaining alert, we strengthen our ability to prevent abuse before it occurs.

We also maintain clear reporting channels so concerns about unethical conduct can be raised without fear of reprisal. Reports may be made through management or designated internal procedures, and all concerns are treated seriously and confidentially. We encourage anyone who suspects modern slavery, whether within our business or in our supply chain, to speak up immediately so that appropriate action can be taken.

Review, Monitoring, and Improvement

Our statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with legal requirements and good practice. Each annual review considers changes in business operations, supplier risk, audit findings, and any reported concerns. Where necessary, we update our controls, strengthen oversight, and introduce further measures to address emerging risks.

This ongoing review process demonstrates our commitment to continuous improvement. Modern slavery risks can evolve over time, particularly where supply chains are complex or where labour markets are under pressure. For that reason, Lambeth Cleaner remains attentive to the need for practical safeguards, careful monitoring, and consistent enforcement of our standards.

We believe that responsible business practice is essential to protecting vulnerable people and maintaining trust in everything we do. Lambeth Cleaner will continue to uphold its zero-tolerance policy, strengthen supplier audits, support accessible reporting channels, and complete an annual review of this statement to ensure our actions match our values.
