Modern Slavery Statement — Oven Cleaning Services

We are committed to upholding the highest ethical standards across all our oven cleaning activities. This Modern Slavery Statement explains our approach to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in every aspect of our oven-cleaning operations, from domestic oven cleaning assignments to large-scale commercial oven cleaning contracts. Our zero-tolerance approach is embedded in company policy and operational practice.

We maintain a clear zero-tolerance policy that prohibits forced labour, human trafficking, and any form of modern slavery in our workforce and supply chain. All employees, contractors and subcontractors engaged in professional oven cleaning must comply with this policy. Violation of the policy will result in immediate corrective action, which may include termination of employment or cessation of supplier relationships.

Our expectations extend to every supplier of goods and services related to oven cleaning, including equipment, consumables and labour providers. We require suppliers to adopt and demonstrate responsible labour practices; failure to do so will trigger our supplier compliance procedures and may lead to contract review or termination.

To ensure compliance we carry out due diligence through regular supplier audits and risk assessments.

Supplier audits and due diligence

These audits evaluate recruitment practices, working hours, wage payments and freedoms to leave employment. Audits combine document review, site visits where appropriate and remote assessments for smaller vendors. We use a risk-based approach so that higher-risk suppliers of commercial oven cleaning services receive more frequent and detailed reviews.

Audit outcomes are recorded and tracked. Where issues are identified we require a clear remediation plan and timeline. Our supplier audit program includes:

• Initial screening for compliance with labour standards before onboarding.
• Periodic on-site or remote audits focusing on worker documentation, recruitment fees and grievance mechanisms.
• Follow-up assessments to confirm corrective actions have been implemented.

We also provide targeted training on ethical procurement and safe labour practices for staff involved in procurement and field operations, emphasising the particular risks associated with subcontracted cleaning crews and temporary labour used in some oven-cleaning projects.

Our reporting channels are designed to be accessible, confidential and safe.

Reporting channels and whistleblowing

Anyone who suspects modern slavery in our oven-cleaning operations or supply chain is encouraged to report concerns through the designated internal channels. Reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and handled with confidentiality and non-retaliation assurances.

Reports may be raised by employees, temporary staff, suppliers, clients or members of the public and are triaged to ensure swift action. We maintain secure logging and tracking of all allegations and the subsequent investigation outcomes, and we use anonymised data to improve policies and training.

Corrective actions following confirmed incidents can include supplier probation, mandatory remediation, independent monitoring and contract termination. Where appropriate, we cooperate with external authorities and support victims to access remedies and protections without exposing them to further harm.

Accountability for this statement rests with leadership and the operational teams responsible for oven-cleaning delivery and procurement. We integrate anti-slavery obligations into supplier contracts and procurement terms, requiring transparency and cooperation during audits and investigations.

We will review and update this statement annually to reflect changes in risk, legislation and operational practice. The annual review assesses the effectiveness of supplier audits, training uptake, reported incidents and remediation outcomes, and sets priorities for the following year.

In summary, our Modern Slavery Statement for oven cleaning outlines a comprehensive, risk-based strategy combining prevention, monitoring, transparent reporting channels and continual improvement. Through strict enforcement of a zero-tolerance policy, regular supplier audits, accessible reporting mechanisms and a formal annual review, we commit to eradicating modern slavery from our operations and supply chain.
