Modern Slavery Statement for Business Waste Removal Hillingdon

This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the commitment of our Hillingdon commercial waste removal operations to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our business. We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, exploitation or modern slavery across our supply chain. Our approach is grounded in clear principles: respect for human rights, robust due diligence, and continual improvement in our business waste removal services in Hillingdon and surrounding boroughs.

We recognise our responsibility as a provider of business waste removal services in Hillingdon to identify and mitigate modern slavery risks. Hillingdon business waste removal must be delivered with ethical procurement, fair employment practices, and transparent oversight. This statement describes our policies, processes, supplier audits, and reporting channels to ensure compliance and remedial action where necessary.

Our

Zero-Tolerance Policy

is explicit: we will not tolerate modern slavery in any form. All employees, contractors and partners engaged in our business waste disposal in Hillingdon are expected to adhere to this policy. Breaches will result in disciplinary measures, contract termination, and reporting to relevant authorities. We require all suppliers to commit contractually to anti-slavery standards, and we use contractual clauses that allow for audits, corrective action plans and, where required, termination.

To operationalise our policy we employ a risk-based approach to due diligence across the sourcing of labour, subcontracted collection and recycling services, and equipment supply. Our procurement team conducts pre-engagement checks and ongoing monitoring for any indicators of exploitation. We ensure that employment terms are transparent, wages meet legal requirements, and that workers have freedom of movement and access to grievance mechanisms.

Supplier management for business waste removal Hillingdon includes an onboarding checklist, mandatory supplier declarations, and auditable records. We prioritise local suppliers and certified partners to reduce complexity in the labour supply chain and to strengthen traceability.

We carry out periodic

Supplier Audits

and spot checks. These audits cover recruitment practices, payroll verification, worker interviews and health and safety standards. Audit outcomes are scored; suppliers who do not meet minimum requirements must implement corrective actions within defined timelines. Persistent non-compliance leads to suspension or debarment from our supply chain.

Our due diligence also examines high-risk activities such as manual handling, recycling sorting and temporary staffing. For each identified risk we document mitigation measures and monitor progress. Commercial waste removal Hillingdon processes are reviewed to ensure they do not create conditions conducive to exploitative labour practices.

We provide training for our staff and management to spot signs of modern slavery and to understand our reporting channels; this includes scenario-based learning and refreshed guidance for new legislation or industry standards. Training records are maintained and form part of our annual compliance audit.

Reporting channels are clearly communicated: employees, contractors and third parties are encouraged to report concerns via internal compliance routes. Reports can be made confidentially and without fear of retaliation. We also accept anonymous reports and will escalate credible allegations to external authorities where appropriate.

To strengthen accountability, we maintain a whistleblowing framework and a dedicated ethics review panel that assesses allegations, coordinates investigations and ensures proportionate remediation. Remediation may include worker support, supplier development plans or contract termination depending on severity.

We commit to an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and associated policies. Each year we will evaluate the effectiveness of our measures, publish an internal report, and update our action plan for the coming period. The annual review includes reassessment of risk, audit results, training uptake and remediation outcomes to maintain continuous improvement.

In summary, our approach to preventing modern slavery in business waste removal in Hillingdon blends clear policy, supplier audits, accessible reporting channels, and regular review. We expect all partners in the Hillingdon waste removal sector to uphold these standards and to cooperate with audits and corrective plans. Through these measures, and by embedding human rights considerations into procurement, operations and contractor management, we strive to eliminate the risk of modern slavery from our operations and supply chain.

Key commitments include:

• Zero-tolerance policy applied across our workforce and suppliers.
• Mandatory supplier audits and corrective action requirements.
• Accessible and protected reporting channels for concerns.
• An annual review process to assess and strengthen controls.

We will continue to work with industry peers, trade bodies and enforcement agencies to share best practice and to raise standards across business waste removal and commercial waste disposal in Hillingdon, ensuring fairness and dignity for all workers involved in our operations.
