Modern Slavery Statement — Commercial Waste Removal Herne Hill

Commercial Waste Removal Herne Hill is committed to conducting business with the highest standards of integrity and respect for human rights. This statement sets out our zero-tolerance policy on modern slavery and human trafficking across all our operations and supply chains. We will not tolerate forced labour, bonded labour, or any form of exploitation within our commercial waste services in Herne Hill or through our partners. Our commitment covers employees, contractors, and suppliers engaged in waste collection, transfer, and disposal activities.

Scope and Principles

This declaration applies to every part of our business that provides commercial waste removal in Herne Hill, including third-party hauliers, subcontractors, and recycling partners. We operate a risk-based approach to prevention and detection of modern slavery and carry out due diligence proportional to the risk profile of each supplier. Key elements of our approach include supplier audits, contractual obligations, and training for staff who procure and manage waste services.

• Supplier due diligence and audits — scheduled and random checks
• Contract clauses — mandatory anti-slavery commitments in all agreements
• Reporting and remediation — clear channels and swift action

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We maintain secure, confidential reporting channels for employees and suppliers to raise concerns about forced labour or exploitation related to the Herne Hill commercial waste removal supply chain. Reports are investigated by our compliance team and, where necessary, escalated to relevant authorities. Anonymous reporting is supported and protected where legally permissible. Retaliation against anyone raising a genuine concern will not be tolerated and is itself a breach of our code of conduct.

Supplier Audits and Ongoing Due Diligence

We perform risk-based supplier audits that combine document reviews, site visits, and interviews. Audits focus on labour practices, worker contracts, payroll verification, and the use of third-party recruiters. Where high-risk indicators are found in our waste removal services Herne Hill network, we require corrective action plans and regular follow-up. Our procurement team uses a scoring model to prioritise suppliers for review, and we terminate contracts when companies fail to remediate critical breaches.

Policies, Training and Remediation

All staff involved in commercial waste operations receive mandatory training on recognising signs of modern slavery and the steps to follow when concerns arise. We have embedded anti-slavery clauses into procurement policies for Herne Hill commercial waste removal and require suppliers to provide evidence of worker protections. When modern slavery indicators are confirmed, we take proportionate action which may include: suspension of work, collaboration on victim support, contract termination, and, where appropriate, referral to law enforcement. Remediation focuses on victim safety and preventing recurrence.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement, applicable to our commercial waste services in Herne Hill and surrounding operations, is reviewed at least once every 12 months. The annual review evaluates the effectiveness of our anti-slavery measures, supplier audit outcomes, training uptake, and reported incidents. Findings lead to updated policies, refined audit schedules, and targeted capacity building for suppliers. We publish results internally and adjust resourcing to address identified risks. Our governance framework ensures the board and senior management receive regular updates on compliance performance and remediation progress.
