Harrys Cleaners Modern Slavery Statement

Harrys Cleaners publishes this Modern Slavery Statement to set out our commitment to preventing forced labour, human trafficking and exploitation throughout our operations. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery and expect the same high standards from our partners and suppliers. This anti-slavery policy reflects our core values and the standards that guide every member of our team.

Our slavery prevention statement applies across all cleaning service activities, procurement and subcontracting. We require employees, contractors and suppliers to act lawfully and ethically; any breach of our modern slavery standards will result in disciplinary action or termination of contracts. We embed clear expectations in our supplier agreements and provide training so staff can identify signs of exploitation.

Harrys Cleaners' commitment to an anti-slavery policy is operationalised through robust risk assessment and continuous monitoring of our supply chain. We identify higher-risk areas by geography, service type and labour-intensity, and we include explicit anti-slavery clauses in procurement documents. Our procurement and compliance teams work together to ensure suppliers agree to regular checks and remedial action where needed.

Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

We conduct ongoing due diligence and supplier audits to verify compliance with our modern slavery requirements. Audits include document reviews, on-site inspections and worker interviews where practical. Suppliers must demonstrate lawful recruitment practices, transparent wage records and safe working conditions. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate agreements if audits reveal non-compliance.

Our supplier audit programme is risk-based and includes periodic desktop assessments and, for higher-risk suppliers, onsite audits. Audit activities focus on:

• verification of employment contracts and pay records,
• evidence of lawful recruitment and the prohibition of fees charged to workers,
• health and safety and freedom of movement for employees,
• subcontractor management and transparency across tiers.

When issues are identified we require corrective action plans, timelines and follow-up reviews. We consider the severity of the finding and whether remediation can be effectively implemented; serious or persistent breaches will trigger contract termination and escalation to relevant authorities.

Reporting Channels, Training and Annual Review

Harrys Cleaners provides secure and confidential reporting channels for employees, contractors and third parties to raise concerns about modern slavery. Reports can be submitted through permitted internal whistleblowing channels and are treated seriously, investigated promptly and impartially. We protect individuals who report in good faith from retaliation and promote a culture of transparency and safety.

We invest in regular staff training so managers and procurement teams can spot indicators of exploitation and respond appropriately. Training covers recruitment controls, worker welfare, recognising coercion and the steps to escalate concerns. Our partners are encouraged to adopt similar training and to cooperate with audits and remediation efforts.

This slavery statement is reviewed at least annually by senior management and our governance committee to ensure our policies, supplier audit programme and reporting channels remain effective. We continually refine our approach, update contract terms, and strengthen due diligence in response to changing risks. Harrys Cleaners will publish improvements and maintain a sustained commitment to eradicate modern slavery from our operations and supply chains.
