Modern Slavery Act Compliance
CPC is a reporting entity under the Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth) and publishes an annual Modern Slavery Statement in accordance with the Act's seven mandatory criteria. The statement covers CPC's operations and supply chain, identifies modern slavery risks, and documents the actions taken to assess and address those risks.
Supply chain mapping is conducted annually to identify tier-one and tier-two suppliers and assess the risk of modern slavery practices in each category. Supplier risk assessments use a combination of sector risk benchmarks, geographic risk factors and due diligence questionnaires for higher-risk suppliers.
The Modern Slavery Statement is published annually and registered on the Australian Border Force Modern Slavery Register. Copies are available to procurement teams on request — contact sales@cpclean.com.au.

Indigenous Engagement
Indigenous Employment and Procurement
CPC maintains a 10% Indigenous workforce participation rate across direct employment — a figure that reflects a sustained commitment to Indigenous employment pathways rather than a headline target. The Indigenous Pathways Program provides structured entry-level employment, on-the-job training, and career progression support for Indigenous Australians across CPC's operational regions.
In addition to direct employment, CPC directs a portion of its supply chain spend to Indigenous-owned businesses. Indigenous business spend is tracked and reported as part of CPC's annual social procurement reporting cycle, with targets and actuals provided to clients who have contractual Indigenous procurement obligations.
10%
Indigenous Workforce Participation
Direct employment across all operational regions. Verified annually. Available as a reportable metric for government contracts with social procurement KPIs.
IPP
Supply Chain Indigenous Business Spend
Procurement spend directed to Indigenous-owned suppliers tracked and reported. Supports clients in meeting their own Indigenous procurement policy obligations.
Diversity
Workforce Diversity
58% of CPC's workforce of 274 staff — 159 people — are women. This reflects both the demographics of the cleaning industry and CPC's deliberate approach to inclusive recruitment and career development. Women hold supervisory and management positions across operations, contracts management and corporate functions.
CPC's workforce includes people from over 40 cultural backgrounds. Recruitment processes are designed to be accessible to people for whom English is a second language, with safety training materials available in multiple languages across high-density cultural communities in each operational region.

Commonwealth Compliance
Indigenous Procurement Policy (Commonwealth)
The Commonwealth Indigenous Procurement Policy (IPP) requires Commonwealth entities to meet mandatory set-asides, targets for contracts in remote areas, and reporting obligations on Indigenous business spend. For suppliers providing cleaning services to Commonwealth entities, demonstrating alignment with the IPP is a standard evaluation criterion.
CPC meets the requirements of the Commonwealth IPP through its Indigenous workforce participation program, Indigenous supply chain spend, and the reporting infrastructure to provide clients with the data they need for their own IPP reporting obligations. For contracts with specific IPP conditions, CPC can provide a tailored Indigenous Procurement Plan as part of the contract commencement process.
Procurement teams working on Commonwealth tenders with IPP requirements can contact sales@cpclean.com.au for specific documentation, data and a draft Indigenous Procurement Plan.
Supply Chain
Social Enterprise Partnerships
CPC maintains active partnerships with social enterprises as part of its supply chain diversity program. Social enterprise procurement is tracked as a category within the annual social procurement reporting cycle, with spend attributed and available as a reportable metric for clients with social enterprise obligations in their contracts.
For clients with specific social enterprise requirements — including state government contracts with mandated social enterprise spend targets — CPC can provide a social enterprise supply chain statement and supporting documentation as part of the contract administration process.
Full social procurement reporting — covering Indigenous employment, supply chain diversity, social enterprise spend and Modern Slavery compliance — is available to procurement teams as a single packaged document. Contact sales@cpclean.com.au to request the Social Procurement Report.
