This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps Mia Cleaners has taken, and continues to take, to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our business operations and supply chains. Mia Cleaners recognises that modern slavery is a severe violation of fundamental human rights and is committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all business relationships.
Mia Cleaners adopts a strict zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, child labour and any other exploitation of people. This commitment applies to every aspect of our operations, including the recruitment and treatment of our employees, our engagement with contractors, and our relationships with suppliers and other business partners.
We expect the same high standards from all parties with whom we work. Any evidence or reasonable suspicion of involvement in modern slavery or related abuses will lead to immediate review of the relationship, which may include suspension or termination of contracts and reporting to relevant authorities where appropriate.
Mia Cleaners works with a range of suppliers, including providers of cleaning products, equipment, uniforms, and facility-related services. We are committed to sourcing responsibly and ensuring that our supply chain is free from modern slavery and human trafficking.
All new suppliers are required to confirm that they comply with applicable labour, employment and human rights laws, and that they do not tolerate any form of forced or compulsory labour. Our contractual terms require suppliers to uphold standards comparable to our own zero-tolerance policy and to cascade these expectations through their own supply chains.
To support our commitment, Mia Cleaners conducts proportionate due diligence and audits of existing and prospective suppliers. This includes reviewing supplier policies, assessing risk based on geographic and sector factors, and where appropriate, carrying out site visits or requesting evidence of compliance with labour and human rights regulations.
Where higher risks are identified, we may implement enhanced monitoring, request corrective action plans, or seek alternative suppliers if adequate improvements are not demonstrated. We keep records of audit outcomes and follow up on any non-conformities within agreed timeframes.
Mia Cleaners encourages all employees, contractors, suppliers, and any other stakeholders to report concerns related to modern slavery or unethical labour practices. Individuals are encouraged to raise issues through internal reporting lines or directly with management without fear of retaliation or negative consequences.
All reports are taken seriously and handled sensitively. Concerns are investigated promptly, and where necessary, appropriate remedial and disciplinary actions are taken. We are committed to protecting the confidentiality of those who raise genuine concerns and to ensuring that whistleblowers are not victimised in any way.
We recognise that awareness and understanding are essential to preventing modern slavery. Mia Cleaners provides relevant information and guidance to managers and employees, particularly those involved in procurement, recruitment, and supplier management, so they can identify potential warning signs and respond appropriately.
We are committed to improving staff awareness over time, updating materials as best practice and legal requirements evolve, and reinforcing our zero-tolerance message across the organisation.
Mia Cleaners continuously monitors the effectiveness of the measures described in this statement. Key responsibilities for overseeing our modern slavery commitments rest with senior management, who review risk assessments, supplier performance, audit findings, and any reported concerns.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least once every year to ensure it remains current, effective, and aligned with legal obligations and industry good practice. The annual review may result in updated policies, revised supplier requirements, enhanced training, or other improvements designed to strengthen our approach.
By issuing this statement, Mia Cleaners reaffirms its commitment to preventing modern slavery in all its forms and to promoting fair, safe, and respectful working conditions throughout our business and supply chains.
