Modern Slavery Statement for Carpet Cleaners Swisscottage

Carpet Cleaners Swisscottage is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with full respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by Swisscottage carpet cleaners to help prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitative practices within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that the risk of exploitation can exist in many sectors, including cleaning services, logistics, equipment supply, and outsourced support, and we remain alert to those risks.

Our approach is based on a zero-tolerance policy. We will not knowingly engage with any individual, contractor, or supplier involved in slavery, trafficking, servitude, debt bondage, or child labour. This commitment applies to all aspects of our work, including recruitment, subcontracting, sourcing, and procurement. As part of our due diligence, Carpet Cleaners Swisscottage expects every person representing the business to act with integrity and to report concerns immediately.

We maintain internal controls to reduce risk and promote transparency. These include identity verification during recruitment, clear contractual terms, and regular checks on working conditions where relevant. In line with our responsibilities, our carpet cleaning team in Swisscottage receives guidance on identifying warning signs such as withheld wages, restricted movement, unsafe accommodation, or excessive working hours. We believe awareness is essential to prevention.

Supplier management is a critical part of this statement. We expect all suppliers to uphold lawful employment standards and to share our values. Where appropriate, supplier audits are carried out to assess compliance, including review of labour practices, documentation, and the use of subcontractors. If a supplier cannot meet our standards, we reserve the right to suspend, remediate, or end the relationship. Our aim is to work only with partners who demonstrate ethical conduct and continuous improvement.

We also encourage open communication through secure reporting channels. Any worker, contractor, or supplier who suspects modern slavery may raise concerns through internal management routes or formal whistleblowing procedures. Reports are handled seriously, treated confidentially where possible, and investigated promptly. Carpet Cleaners Swisscottage does not permit retaliation against anyone who reports a concern in good faith.

Modern slavery risks can evolve, so monitoring is ongoing. We review high-risk supplier categories, update contract expectations, and reinforce training where needed. This statement reflects our belief that responsible business practice is not a one-time commitment but a continuing duty. By maintaining vigilance, Swisscottage carpet cleaning services can contribute to safer working conditions and fair treatment across the supply chain.

Each year, this statement is subject to an annual review to ensure it remains relevant, effective, and aligned with current legal and ethical standards. During the review, we assess any incidents, audit findings, supplier performance, and improvements in internal controls. Where gaps are identified, action plans are created and tracked to completion. This process helps us strengthen prevention measures year after year.

Carpet Cleaners Swisscottage will continue to embed these principles into everyday operations. We are committed to responsible sourcing, fair employment, and respectful treatment of everyone involved in our work. Through our zero-tolerance policy, robust supplier audits, accessible reporting channels, and annual review cycle, we aim to play our part in the fight against modern slavery and to uphold the highest standards of ethical practice.
