Commercial Waste Removal Wimbledon Modern Slavery Statement

Commercial Waste Removal Wimbledon is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our operations and supply chains. This statement sets out our policies and the steps we take across our Wimbledon commercial waste removal activities to identify, prevent and mitigate the risk of modern slavery. We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, bonded labour, servitude or human trafficking, and require the same standards of ethical conduct from our suppliers and contractors.

We apply our commitments across every element of our commercial waste services in Wimbledon, from contract procurement to day-to-day site operations. Our senior management team retains responsibility for the implementation of these measures and we embed modern slavery awareness into workplace policies. Employees and contractors are required to adhere to our code of conduct, and we provide targeted training to managers so they can recognise indicators of exploitation and take appropriate action. We emphasise fair pay, lawful working hours and safe working conditions across our waste removal services.

Risk Assessment and Supplier Due Diligence

We undertake routine risk assessments to identify higher-risk activities and geographic areas where the risk of modern slavery is elevated. As part of our supplier onboarding and ongoing management processes for Wimbledon commercial waste removal, we perform checks including:

• Verification of legal right to work and identity checks where permitted;
• Review of suppliers' policies on labour standards and modern slavery;
• Financial and operational checks to identify irregular subcontracting or labour-only supply chains.

Supplier Audits and Contractual Controls

We maintain a programme of supplier audits and inspections for our commercial waste removal in Wimbledon. These audits combine document reviews, site visits and interviews with workers where possible. Our procurement contracts include specific clauses requiring compliance with modern slavery laws and the right to audit. Where our audits identify shortcomings we require suppliers to agree corrective action plans and monitor progress until issues are resolved. Repeat non-compliance may result in contract termination.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We provide multiple confidential reporting channels that allow workers, sub-contractors and third parties to raise concerns without fear of retaliation. Reports can be raised internally through designated managers, anonymously via our secure reporting system, or raised to an appointed compliance officer. All reports are treated seriously; each allegation is investigated promptly and proportionately. We maintain secure records of investigations and outcomes and ensure any victim-support measures are put in place as required. Anyone reporting suspicion of exploitation will be protected from retaliation.

Training, Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

We deliver ongoing training for employees and contractors involved in procurement, HR and operations, ensuring our teams remain alert to modern slavery risks within the commercial waste removal sector. Our policies are reviewed at least annually, and this Modern Slavery Statement is updated every year to reflect new insights, audit findings and changes in legislation. The annual review includes an evaluation of our risk assessment framework, supplier audit outcomes, the effectiveness of reporting channels and any remedial actions taken. Continuous improvement is central to our approach — we commit to measurable targets and transparent internal reporting to drive progress.
