Modern Slavery Statement for Edenpark Carpet Cleaners

Edenpark Carpet Cleaners is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. As a responsible carpet cleaning company, we recognise that modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour have no place in our operations or supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to identify, prevent, and address any risk of exploitation within our business. Our approach is grounded in a zero-tolerance policy toward slavery and all forms of coerced labour.

We expect every employee, contractor, and supplier to share our values and to act in a way that protects the dignity and welfare of all people involved in delivering our services. Whether sourcing cleaning materials, equipment, or support services, Edenpark Carpet Cleaners requires ethical conduct at every stage. We will not knowingly work with any party that fails to meet our standards or that is unwilling to improve practices where concerns are identified.

Our commitment is supported by internal controls, due diligence, and ongoing oversight. We understand that the risk of modern slavery can exist in many industries, including manufacturing, logistics, and outsourced services. For that reason, our procurement process includes checks on labour practices, business reputation, and compliance history. Where appropriate, we request confirmations from suppliers regarding their policies, workforce treatment, and sub-tier sourcing arrangements.

Our Policies and Due Diligence

We maintain a clear zero-tolerance policy for modern slavery and exploitation. This applies to all levels of our organisation and to all relationships in our supply chain. Any credible allegation is treated seriously and investigated promptly. If a supplier or partner is found to be in breach of our standards, we may require immediate corrective action or, where necessary, end the relationship.

Our supplier assessments are designed to identify risks before they become harmful. Edenpark Carpet Cleaners may conduct supplier audits, review contractual obligations, and monitor performance against ethical sourcing criteria. These audits may include document reviews, worker-rights checks, and verification of subcontracting arrangements. We also look for signs of vulnerability, such as excessive overtime, withheld wages, restricted movement, or poor record keeping.

Where risks are detected, we work constructively with suppliers to improve standards. However, we will not compromise on fundamental rights. Our procurement team is trained to recognise warning signs and escalate issues when necessary. This helps ensure that the everyday services and products used by Edenpark Carpet Cleaners are obtained responsibly and without exploitation.

Reporting Concerns and Speaking Up

We encourage anyone connected with our business to raise concerns if they suspect modern slavery, unsafe working conditions, or unethical labour practices. Reports may be made internally through established management routes or via our confidential reporting channels. All concerns are handled with seriousness, discretion, and fairness. We do not permit retaliation against any person who reports in good faith.

Our reporting process is intended to make it easier for workers, suppliers, and business partners to speak up when something does not feel right. Concerns can include signs of coercion, deception, debt bondage, document retention, or intimidation. If an issue is raised, it is reviewed by appropriate personnel and, where needed, supported by further investigation and corrective measures. Openness and accountability are central to how we protect people.

We also make sure that managers and decision-makers understand their role in identifying and responding to risk. Training and internal awareness help strengthen our response and ensure that concerns are not ignored. Edenpark Carpet Cleaners believes that effective prevention depends on a culture where people feel safe to speak and where action is taken quickly and responsibly.

Monitoring, Improvement, and Annual Review

Our statement is not static. We review our approach regularly to reflect changes in legislation, industry conditions, and business activity. In addition to routine monitoring, we carry out an annual review of our modern slavery controls, supplier oversight, and reporting procedures. This review helps us assess what is working well and where further improvement is needed.

During the review process, we consider audit findings, any reported concerns, supplier performance, and the effectiveness of training and communication. We use this information to strengthen our policies and refine our risk management approach. Modern slavery prevention is an ongoing responsibility, and we are committed to learning from experience and improving continuously.

Edenpark Carpet Cleaners will continue to uphold ethical business practices and promote respect for human rights in every part of our operations. By maintaining clear standards, carrying out supplier audits, providing safe reporting channels, and reviewing our progress each year, we aim to help ensure that our business remains free from modern slavery and exploitation.
