Oven Cleaning Canary Wharf Modern Slavery Statement
This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the actions taken by Oven Cleaning Canary Wharf to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to respect and uphold human rights, and we are committed to conducting our business in an ethical and transparent way.
Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy
Oven Cleaning Canary Wharf operates a clear and strict zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, and human trafficking. We do not tolerate any practice that exploits individuals, whether in our direct operations or within the businesses that supply us with goods and services.
All staff, contractors, and suppliers are expected to share this commitment. Any indication of modern slavery in our operations or supply chains will be investigated promptly, and appropriate action will be taken, which may include termination of contracts and reporting concerns to relevant authorities.
Our Business and Supply Chains
Oven Cleaning Canary Wharf provides professional oven cleaning services to residential and commercial clients. Our supply chains primarily involve the sourcing of cleaning products, equipment, protective clothing, and support services such as facilities and administration.
We recognise that, although our business operates within a relatively low-risk sector, there can still be risks of modern slavery in the manufacture and distribution of cleaning products, the provision of outsourced services, and any use of temporary labour. We therefore take proactive steps to identify and mitigate these risks.
Policies and Supplier Expectations
We are developing and maintaining internal policies that clearly outline our expectations regarding ethical conduct, labour standards, and respect for human rights. These policies apply to all employees and contractors working on behalf of Oven Cleaning Canary Wharf.
All suppliers are expected to uphold standards that are consistent with our zero-tolerance approach. This includes compliance with all applicable employment laws, fair treatment of workers, freedom of movement, and the prohibition of any form of forced or child labour.
Supplier Audits and Due Diligence
We carry out proportionate due diligence when selecting and reviewing suppliers. This process may include assessing the supplier’s own policies, their track record, and the nature of their workforce and supply chains.
Where appropriate, we conduct audits or request evidence to confirm that suppliers operate in line with our expectations. This can include reviewing supplier documentation, undertaking site visits, or requesting confirmation of compliance with modern slavery legislation. If we become aware of any serious concerns, we will work with the supplier to address them or, where necessary, end the business relationship.
Training and Awareness
We aim to raise awareness of modern slavery risks among our management team and operational staff so they can identify signs of potential exploitation. Training and guidance focus on understanding common indicators of modern slavery, the responsibilities of staff, and the steps to follow when concerns arise.
Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing
Oven Cleaning Canary Wharf encourages anyone who works for or with us to report any concerns about potential modern slavery or unethical practices. Concerns can be raised directly with management or through existing internal reporting procedures.
We treat all reports seriously and confidentially, and we will not tolerate any form of victimisation against individuals who raise concerns in good faith. Reports will be investigated promptly, and appropriate remedial or disciplinary action will be taken where required.
Monitoring, Annual Review and Continuous Improvement
We are committed to reviewing and enhancing our approach to tackling modern slavery on an ongoing basis. This Modern Slavery Statement will be reviewed at least annually to assess the effectiveness of our actions and to identify opportunities for improvement.
As part of the annual review, we will consider feedback from staff, suppliers, and other stakeholders, as well as any changes in legislation or best practice. Where necessary, we will update our policies, due diligence processes, training, and communication to strengthen our controls.
Approval of this Statement
This Modern Slavery Statement has been prepared on behalf of Oven Cleaning Canary Wharf and reflects our ongoing commitment to ensuring that modern slavery and human trafficking have no place in our business or supply chains.
It is approved at a senior level and will be made available to employees, suppliers, and clients to provide transparency about our stance and the actions we are taking.
