Modern Slavery Statement — Car Park Cleaning Services Commitment
Our car park cleaning services business is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms across our operations and supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the policies, processes and practical steps we take to protect workers involved in parking lot cleaning services, carpark cleaning services and related operations. We set clear expectations for our staff, contractors and suppliers and maintain a culture of vigilance and continuous improvement.
We operate a zero-tolerance policy for all forms of forced labour, debt bondage, human trafficking and exploitation. This policy is mandatory across every part of our parking area cleaning and associated service delivery. All employees, contractors and subcontractors are required to adhere to our code of conduct, and breaches result in immediate action. We provide training to frontline car park cleaners and supervisors to recognise indicators of modern slavery and to respond appropriately.
Supplier management is vital. Our supplier audit programme for car park cleaning contractors includes on-site inspections, document verification and worker interviews. Audits check recruitment practices, wage and hour records, identity verification and living conditions where relevant. We employ a risk-based approach for parking lot cleaning services suppliers, prioritising checks on high-risk geographies and subcontracted labour. Findings are recorded and acted upon through corrective action plans and follow-up reviews.
Our due diligence process for sourcing car park cleaning contractors and parking area cleaning partners includes pre-qualification questionnaires, contract clauses and ongoing monitoring. We require suppliers to declare their compliance and to permit audits. Where suppliers fail to meet standards, we engage to remediate issues or, if necessary, terminate relationships. We favour long-term partnerships that demonstrate transparency and investment in worker welfare.
We maintain a clear escalation pathway when concerns arise. Reports of suspected modern slavery within carpark cleaning services are investigated promptly and confidentially. Investigations may involve third-party specialists and legal advisers, ensuring impartiality and support for affected individuals. Our approach balances remedial action for victims with proportionate measures for non-compliant suppliers, emphasising prevention and remediation over simple punitive outcomes.
Reporting Channels and Protection
To support safe reporting, we provide several secure channels for whistleblowing and complaints relating to parking lot cleaning operations. These channels are designed to be accessible to workers, contractors and third parties and protect reporters from retaliation. Examples include:- Anonymous reporting mechanisms and third-party hotlines
- Confidential investigations managed by trained specialists
- Worker liaison and support services for those affected
We regularly review employment practices across our car park cleaners and service partners, including recruitment fees, contract terms and pay practices. We insist that recruitment is free from worker-paid fees and that workers retain control of identity documents. These standards are embedded into procurement criteria for parking area cleaning contracts and monitored through periodic checks.
Our enforcement and remediation framework includes suspension of services, binding corrective action plans and, in severe cases, contract termination. We provide guidance and resources to support supplier improvement, including training on ethical recruitment and worker rights. Where victims of modern slavery are identified, we prioritise their safety and access to support services while cooperating with law enforcement and NGOs where appropriate.
