Modern Slavery Statement for Brompton Cleaner

Brompton Cleaner is committed to conducting business with integrity, dignity, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent forced labour, human trafficking, debt bondage, and other forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that ethical business practices are essential to protecting workers and maintaining trust.

Our zero-tolerance policy applies to every aspect of the business. We do not accept any form of modern slavery in our workforce, among contractors, or in the supply networks we rely on. This policy is reinforced through staff awareness, procurement controls, and ongoing compliance checks. Any suspicion of abuse is treated seriously and investigated promptly.

We expect all suppliers, partners, and service providers to uphold the same standards. As part of our Brompton Cleaner modern slavery commitment, we require suppliers to confirm that they use lawful, fair, and ethical employment practices. We also reserve the right to suspend or terminate relationships where risks are identified and not addressed.

Supply Chain Due Diligence

To reduce risk, Brompton Cleaner carries out risk-based supplier audits and reviews. These checks may include document verification, site assessments, worker welfare inquiries, and evaluation of recruitment practices. Higher-risk categories receive more frequent scrutiny, especially where labour-intensive work, subcontracting, or overseas sourcing may create exposure to exploitative practices.

Where an audit identifies concerns, we require corrective action within a defined timeframe. We monitor progress closely and may escalate issues if remediation is incomplete. Our approach is designed to support improvement while ensuring that serious breaches are not overlooked. We also expect suppliers to flow these standards through their own subcontractors and labour providers.

Training and internal awareness are central to the effectiveness of this statement. Relevant employees receive guidance on spotting indicators of exploitation, such as restricted movement, withheld documents, unusual payment arrangements, or signs of coercion. This helps strengthen our Brompton Cleaner modern slavery policy and ensures procurement decisions are made responsibly.

Reporting and Escalation

We maintain clear reporting channels so that concerns can be raised safely and in confidence. Employees, suppliers, and workers connected to our supply chain are encouraged to report suspected wrongdoing without fear of retaliation. Reports may concern recruitment fees, abusive supervision, identity document retention, or any other sign of labour exploitation.

All concerns are reviewed promptly and handled sensitively. We assess the nature of the issue, determine immediate protective actions where needed, and investigate the matter through appropriate internal processes. If a case suggests criminal conduct, we cooperate with relevant authorities and take steps to protect affected individuals. Confidentiality is respected throughout.

Our procurement and management teams are responsible for ensuring this statement is understood and applied in practice. The modern slavery measures embedded in our operations support ethical sourcing, fair treatment, and accountability. We expect leaders across the business to challenge poor conduct and reinforce the values that guide Brompton Cleaner.

Governance, Review, and Improvement

This statement is subject to an annual review to ensure it remains effective, current, and aligned with legal requirements and operational risks. During each review, we assess supplier performance, audit outcomes, training needs, and any reported concerns. The findings inform updates to our controls and priorities for the year ahead.

We recognise that modern slavery risks can change over time as our business and supply chain evolve. For that reason, Brompton Cleaner is committed to continuous improvement, stronger due diligence, and responsible purchasing practices. Our aim is not only compliance, but the active prevention of exploitation wherever it may arise.

Through vigilance, transparency, and decisive action, Brompton Cleaner works to uphold human rights and maintain a supply chain built on fairness and respect.
