Modern Slavery Statement ??? Mikes Cleaners

Mikes Cleaners is committed to upholding human rights and maintaining a clear and public Modern Slavery Statement. Our company adopts a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of forced labour, human trafficking or exploitation in our operations and supply chain. This modern slavery declaration sets out our approach, the measures we take, and the responsibilities expected of our staff and partners. We recognise that a robust anti-slavery statement is essential to protect people and our reputation.

We apply this modern-slavery statement across all jurisdictions where we operate and within every part of our business. Our commitment includes recruitment practices, employment contracts and working conditions within our cleaning operations. Mikes Cleaners expects all employees, contractors and suppliers to adhere to our standards: lawful pay, voluntary employment and freedom of movement. Any breach of these standards is treated as a serious disciplinary matter and will trigger the appropriate remedial and contractual responses.

To implement our modern slavery policy, we conduct regular supplier audits and risk assessments. Our supplier review program includes:

• Due diligence checks on new suppliers before engagement, including verification of labour practices and documentary evidence.
• Periodic on-site and remote audits to confirm compliance with anti-slavery and human trafficking expectations.
• Contract clauses requiring suppliers to comply with our anti-slavery standards and to allow audits or remedial action.
• Corrective action plans and, where necessary, termination of contracts for non-compliance.

Mikes Cleaners operates a zero tolerance policy that is enforced through training, clear leadership and accessible reporting channels. We maintain multiple confidential and secure reporting mechanisms for workers, subcontractors and third parties to raise concerns about suspected slavery or trafficking. Reports may be made anonymously where local law permits, and all reports are investigated promptly and fairly. Strong protections are in place to prevent retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith.

We require managers and procurement teams to escalate credible allegations immediately. Our response protocol includes an initial assessment, an independent investigation where necessary, and coordinated remedial steps to protect affected individuals. Where violations are found, we pursue corrective measures, support for victims and, when appropriate, termination of supplier relationships. We stress the importance of ethical sourcing and maintain a supplier code of conduct that embodies our anti-slavery statement principles.

The company also invests in training and awareness: staff receive regular briefings on how to spot signs of exploitation, how to report concerns, and the responsibilities of line managers and procurement teams. We monitor compliance through key performance indicators and incorporate modern slavery considerations into tender evaluations and supplier onboarding.

Our annual review process ensures continuous improvement. Each year we review our modern slavery and human trafficking statement, supplier audit outcomes and training effectiveness. This review includes analysis of incidents, remediation outcomes, and updates to policies and contractual terms to strengthen protections. The findings inform targeted risk mitigation activities and help prioritise high-risk supply chain segments for more frequent audits.

We are committed to transparency and accountability. The anti-slavery statement is endorsed by senior management and subject to board oversight. We will continue to refine our risk-based approach, collaborate with suppliers to remediate issues, and strengthen reporting channels so workers can seek help safely. Our sustained focus on supplier audits, accessible reporting channels, a strict zero-tolerance policy and a documented annual review cycle underpins our efforts to eliminate modern slavery in all forms from our operations.

Signed on behalf of Mikes Cleaners: this modern slavery statement represents our ongoing commitment to eradicating forced labour and protecting human dignity across our business and supply chains.
