Modern Slavery Statement for Rubbish Removals

We, as a leading rubbish removal provider, set out our commitment to prevent modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking across our operations and supply chain. This statement explains our approach to ensuring ethical waste removal services and responsible rubbish-removals practices. Our corporate position is clear: we have a zero-tolerance policy on any form of modern slavery. Every employee, contractor and supplier must comply with this standard and with applicable laws. We will not tolerate exploitation in any part of our business or in the businesses of those who supply us with goods and services.

We are committed to continuous risk assessment and proactive prevention. Our procurement and contracting terms require suppliers to confirm that their workforce is treated fairly and legally. The rubbish removals contracts include clauses that: (i) forbid forced or bonded labour, (ii) require compliance with wage and hour laws, and (iii) demand safe working conditions. Where non-compliance is identified, our approach is to use proportionate remediation, up to and including termination of supply agreements. Our management team regularly communicates expectations to subcontractors and logistics partners to reinforce ethical standards in all aspects of rubbish removal operations.

We operate a program of supplier due diligence and audits to identify and mitigate risk in our supplier network. Key elements include:

• Supplier audits: scheduled and unannounced assessments of on-site practices, worker records and contractual compliance;
• Document verification: review of payroll, identity checks and recruitment practices to detect signs of exploitation;
• Risk-based assessments: focused checks on high-risk suppliers and jurisdictions where forced labour risks are higher;
• Worker engagement: confidential interviews and surveys to give staff a voice independent of management;
• Corrective action plans where issues are found, with follow-up audits and, where required, contract termination.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We maintain accessible and secure reporting channels so concerns about modern slavery can be raised safely. Staff, sub-contractors and third parties can report suspected exploitation through our internal reporting lines or via anonymous mechanisms. Reports are treated confidentially and investigated promptly by trained compliance officers. We emphasise a non-retaliation approach: anyone raising a concern in good faith is protected. Our reporting framework supports escalation to senior management and, where necessary, to appropriate external authorities while ensuring the safety of affected individuals.

Training, Monitoring and Continuous Improvement

Training is an important part of our policy: employees involved in procurement, operations and people management receive regular education on identifying signs of modern slavery and how to respond. We also require that key suppliers offer similar awareness training to their frontline teams. Monitoring includes periodic reviews of supplier performance metrics and corrective action effectiveness. We use a combination of site visits, data analytics and third-party verification to strengthen oversight across our waste removal services and rubbish removal operations.

Our governance processes include an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and the underlying policies. The Board and senior leadership receive regular reports on audit outcomes, reported incidents, remediation progress and key risk indicators. The annual review assesses whether our supplier audits, reporting channels and training programs remain effective and proportionate to evolving risks. Where necessary, we update contractual requirements, increase audit intensity, or reassign supplier relationships to align with our zero-tolerance commitment.

In closing, this Modern Slavery Statement reflects our firm commitment as a responsible rubbish removals business and rubbish removal company to prevent exploitation in our operations and supply chain. We pledge ongoing transparency, strengthened supplier due diligence, robust reporting channels and an annual programme of review and improvement. By embedding these measures across our waste removal services and logistical network, we aim to reduce risk, protect workers and uphold human rights throughout our industry. This statement will be reviewed at least once every 12 months and updated to reflect progress, lessons learned and changes in law or risk profile. Together with our partners, we will continue to build a resilient, ethical approach to rubbish-removal operations.
