Glossy Cleaners Modern Slavery Statement

Glossy Cleaners is committed to eradicating forced labour, human trafficking and all forms of exploitation across our operations and supply chain. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our approach to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in line with our zero-tolerance policy. We recognise that a proactive stance — including supplier due diligence, employee training and clear reporting channels — is essential to reduce risk and protect people.

Our commitment applies to everyone who works with or for Glossy Cleaners, including permanent staff, temporary workers, contractors and supply partners. We publish a slavery and human trafficking statement that reflects our duties and ethical expectations. The policy is embedded in our procurement and HR practices to ensure that exploitation is not tolerated and that any concerns are acted on swiftly and effectively.

We operate a strict zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery. This means any credible allegation of forced labour, debt bondage, or human trafficking will trigger immediate investigation and remedial action. Where incidents involve suppliers, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate contracts. Our anti-slavery policy is non-negotiable and sits at the heart of our corporate responsibility commitments.

Supplier Audits and Responsible Sourcing

Glossy Cleaners conducts regular supplier audits and risk assessments to verify compliance with our modern slavery and anti-slavery standards. We require suppliers to adhere to our code of conduct and contractual terms that prohibit exploitative practices. Audits focus on recruitment practices, wage and hour compliance, subcontractor oversight and safe working conditions.

Audit activity is a blend of self-assessment questionnaires, document reviews and on-site visits where appropriate. High-risk suppliers are prioritised for independent third-party audits. We also integrate remediation plans into supplier relationships: where issues are identified we work collaboratively on corrective actions, timelines and follow-up checks to ensure sustained improvement.

To strengthen due diligence we maintain supplier onboarding checks, periodic reviews and clear contractual clauses that require suppliers to report violations. These measures are designed to reduce the likelihood of modern slavery occurring in our supply chain and to increase transparency from procurement through to delivery.

Reporting Channels and Worker Protections

Glossy Cleaners provides multiple confidential reporting channels for employees, contractors and supply chain workers to raise concerns about suspected slavery or trafficking. We operate an internal reporting mechanism, and encourage anonymous reporting where needed. All reports are treated seriously and are investigated promptly by trained compliance personnel.

Key tools we deploy include:

• Clear reporting routes for staff and suppliers;
• Whistleblowing protections to guard reporters from retaliation;
• Remediation pathways to support affected individuals;
• Mandatory training programmes so staff can identify and escalate concerns.

Responsibility for implementing this modern slavery policy sits with senior management and the compliance team, who oversee supplier engagement, audit schedules and training delivery. Line managers have operational responsibility to ensure frontline teams understand the signs of exploitation and the actions to take.

Glossy Cleaners commits to an annual review of this modern slavery statement and our broader anti-slavery measures. The review evaluates the effectiveness of supplier audits, the robustness of reporting channels, outcomes from investigations and the impact of training. Results of the review inform continuous improvement actions, updated risk assessments and any necessary policy adjustments.

In conclusion, our slavery and human trafficking statement is a living document that reflects Glossy Cleaners' ongoing efforts to prevent exploitation. We maintain a clear zero-tolerance stance, carry out supplier audits, provide secure reporting channels and perform an annual review to ensure our anti-slavery policy remains effective and responsive to emerging risks.
