Modern Slavery Statement for Oven Cleaners

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our commitment to preventing modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour across our operations and supply chain. As a provider of professional oven cleaning and commercial oven cleaning services, we adopt a zero-tolerance policy to any form of exploitation. We recognise our responsibility to ensure that domestic oven cleaners, oven-cleaning contractors and kitchen maintenance teams are treated fairly and work under lawful conditions.

Our statement applies to all employees, subcontractors and service partners engaged in oven cleaning, from residential oven cleaners to large-scale catering maintenance crews. We emphasise recruitment transparency, lawful pay and voluntary employment. We will not tolerate coerced labour, debt bondage or withholding of identity documents. This policy is integrated into contractual terms and performance expectations.

Zero-Tolerance Policy and Immediate Actions

We maintain a strict zero-tolerance stance: any credible report of modern slavery or exploitation involving our oven cleaning teams will trigger immediate action. Allegations are investigated promptly, and where verified we will suspend contracts, terminate suppliers and notify relevant authorities. We will support affected individuals with safe alternatives and remedial measures, and we will cooperate fully with law enforcement and regulatory bodies.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

Our procurement process for oven-cleaning services includes robust supplier due diligence. Before onboarding any new commercial oven cleaning contractor or subcontractor we assess labour practices, identity verification procedures and working conditions. Periodic reviews are mandatory and are designed to minimise the risk of modern slavery entering our supply chain.

Supplier Audits and Monitoring

We conduct both scheduled and unannounced supplier audits focused on employment records, wage payments, accommodation standards where applicable, and recruitment fees. Audit activities include documentation checks, site visits and worker interviews. Key audit elements include:

• Verification of lawful right to work and valid identity documents
• Confirmation that no recruitment fees were charged to workers
• Assessment of working hours, rest periods and pay compliance

Audit findings inform corrective action plans and can result in supplier suspension or termination.

Where risks are identified in the oven clean supply chain, we apply a risk-based approach prioritising high-risk suppliers for enhanced scrutiny. We engage with suppliers to implement remedial steps, provide training and improve workplace standards. Continuous improvement for our oven clean partners is a contractual expectation.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We provide multiple confidential channels for reporting concerns about modern slavery in our operations or supply chain. Employees, subcontractors and third parties can raise issues without fear of retaliation. Reports are treated seriously, investigated by trained personnel, and documented. Reporting mechanisms include internal reporting lines and secure anonymous reporting routes. All reports trigger a formal investigation protocol.

Support, Remediation and Worker Protection

If modern slavery or exploitation is found, our priority is the welfare and safety of the affected worker. We offer immediate protection and practical support, which may include temporary safe accommodation, medical assistance and liaison with appropriate external services. We also require suppliers to implement corrective action plans and may pursue contract termination and restitution where appropriate. Our aim is to restore dignity and prevent recurrence.

We commit to an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and associated policies. The review process assesses the effectiveness of our zero-tolerance measures, the outcomes of supplier audits and the adequacy of reporting channels. Findings from the annual review inform updated risk assessments and improved controls for oven care and professional oven cleaning services. We will continue evolving our practices to meet emerging risks and legal expectations.

Training is mandatory for staff involved in procurement, supplier management and operational oversight of oven cleaning services; training covers recognising signs of modern slavery, safe reporting and incident response. We encourage a culture of vigilance and responsibility across all levels of the organisation and among our oven service providers.

This statement applies to all jurisdictions in which we operate and to the full range of our oven cleaning activities, including specialist commercial kitchen cleaning and residential oven maintenance. We will publish progress and updates following each annual review cycle to demonstrate accountability and continuous improvement.

By prioritising transparent procurement, supplier audits, accessible reporting channels and an annual review process, we reaffirm our commitment to combatting modern slavery across the oven cleaning sector. We will not tolerate exploitation. Our ongoing actions are designed to protect workers, uphold human rights and maintain ethical supply chains for all oven clean services.
