Modern Slavery Statement for Oven Cleaning Services

We have a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking across all our oven cleaning, oven-cleaning and oven cleaner services operations. This statement sets out our commitment to identify, mitigate and prevent forced labour, bonded labour, and any exploitative practices within our domestic oven cleaning and commercial oven cleaning activities. Our aim is to ensure every person working with or for us is treated with dignity and respect.

Scope and Principles

This policy applies to all workers, contractors and suppliers engaged in our oven cleaning operations. We require ethical conduct across procurement, subcontracting and direct employment. We expect suppliers to meet the same standards and we embed anti-slavery clauses into contracts to make clear our expectations and their obligations.

Supply Chain Assurance and Supplier Audits

We conduct regular supplier audits to assess compliance with labour standards applicable to oven cleaning and related services. Audits include document verification, site visits and interviews with workers to detect indicators of exploitation. Our audit programme includes:

• Periodic risk-based supplier assessments and certification checks;
• On-site inspections for high-risk suppliers providing oven cleaner services;
• Corrective action plans with clear timelines where non-compliance is found.

Reporting Channels We maintain multiple safe and confidential reporting channels for employees, subcontractors and third parties to raise concerns about modern slavery in our oven cleaning operations. Reports can be made anonymously, and we guarantee no retaliation for those who report in good faith. All allegations are logged, triaged and investigated promptly by our compliance team.

Training and Employee Awareness: We provide mandatory training for our staff and supervisors on identifying and responding to signs of modern slavery in commercial oven cleaning and domestic contexts. Training includes what to look for in recruitment practices, wage irregularities, and excessive overtime. Managers are trained to escalate concerns and to support affected individuals sensitively.

Remediation and Contractual Controls: We insert clear contractual requirements that suppliers must follow labour laws and uphold human rights. Where audit findings reveal breaches, we require remediation, and where necessary, will suspend or terminate relationships. Remediation plans prioritise the welfare of workers and seek to restore rights and provide compensation where appropriate.

Monitoring, Metrics and Continuous Improvement: We track key performance indicators across our oven cleaning supply chain, including audit completion rates, corrective action closure and training uptake. Data from supplier audits and internal reviews informs a risk register that guides targeted interventions. We strive for continuous improvement by reviewing policies and supplier performance regularly.

Annual Review and Public Statement: This modern slavery statement is reviewed at least annually by senior management. The review assesses effectiveness of supplier audits, reporting channels, training outcomes and remediation measures specific to oven cleaning operations. Where gaps are identified, we commit to strengthening controls and increasing resources to tackle modern slavery risks.

Conclusion: We remain committed to preventing modern slavery in all forms within our oven cleaning, commercial oven cleaning and oven-cleaner-services supply chains. We maintain a zero-tolerance stance and will continue to enforce supplier audits, support safe reporting channels and conduct annual reviews to ensure our practices remain robust and effective. Every review, audit and training session reaffirms our pledge to protect workers and uphold human rights throughout our operations.
