Bayswater Cleaner Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the actions taken by Bayswater Cleaner to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to uphold human rights and are committed to continuous improvement in identifying and addressing modern slavery risks.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

Bayswater Cleaner maintains a strict zero-tolerance stance towards all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. This policy applies to every aspect of our business, including our employees, contractors, suppliers, and business partners. Any form of forced, bonded, or child labour is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.

All business decisions at Bayswater Cleaner are guided by principles of fairness, respect, and ethical conduct. We expect the same standards from those with whom we do business. Where modern slavery risks are identified, we will act promptly and decisively to mitigate or remove them, including the termination of relationships where necessary.

Our Supply Chains and Risk Assessment

Bayswater Cleaner sources products, equipment, and services from a range of suppliers. We recognise that certain sectors and regions may present higher risks of modern slavery. To address this, we undertake risk-based assessments of our suppliers and review the nature of services and goods provided, the locations in which suppliers operate, and the vulnerability of workers involved.

We prioritise engagement with suppliers who demonstrate transparent labour practices and can evidence their own commitment to preventing modern slavery. Where higher risk is identified, additional due diligence and monitoring are implemented.

Supplier Standards and Audits

Our suppliers are required to comply with all applicable labour, employment, and human rights laws. As part of our approach, Bayswater Cleaner seeks assurances that suppliers:

Maintain fair recruitment practices, pay at least the legal minimum wage, provide safe working conditions, and respect workers’ rights to freedom of movement and collective representation.

We conduct supplier audits and assessments on a risk basis to verify compliance with our standards. These audits may include site visits, document reviews, and discussions with management and, where appropriate, workers. Where non-compliance or concerns are identified, suppliers are required to implement corrective action plans within a reasonable timeframe.

If a supplier fails to address serious issues or shows unwillingness to improve, Bayswater Cleaner reserves the right to suspend or terminate the business relationship.

Training, Awareness, and Responsibility

Key managers and staff involved in procurement, operations, and contract management receive guidance on identifying signs of modern slavery and understanding our reporting and escalation procedures. Awareness of modern slavery risks is integrated into our onboarding and ongoing training, helping ensure that our people are alert to potential indicators of exploitation.

Responsibility for overseeing our modern slavery commitments sits with senior management, who ensure that appropriate policies, controls, and resources are in place to support effective implementation.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Bayswater Cleaner encourages all employees, contractors, and other stakeholders to report any concerns or suspicions of modern slavery or unethical labour practices. Reports can be made confidentially through our internal reporting channels or via our whistleblowing mechanisms.

All concerns are taken seriously and investigated promptly, with appropriate action taken where necessary. We do not tolerate any form of victimisation or retaliation against individuals who raise concerns in good faith. Protecting those who speak up is central to our culture of transparency and accountability.

Monitoring, Review, and Continuous Improvement

Bayswater Cleaner is committed to continual improvement in our approach to tackling modern slavery. We will review this Modern Slavery Statement at least annually to assess the effectiveness of our policies, due diligence, training, and supplier engagement.

As part of the annual review, we consider emerging risks, legal and regulatory developments, lessons learned from audits and investigations, and feedback from stakeholders. Where improvements are identified, we will update our processes and communicate changes across our business and supply chain.

This Statement reflects Bayswater Cleaner’s ongoing commitment to conducting business with integrity and ensuring that modern slavery has no place in our operations or supply chains.
