Modern Slavery Statement – Business Waste Removal Rotherhithe

Business Waste Removal Rotherhithe is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms across our operations and supply chains. Our Rotherhithe commercial waste removal activities are carried out under a clear and uncompromising policy: we have a zero-tolerance approach to any form of forced labour, exploitation or trafficking. This statement details the steps we take to identify, mitigate and prevent modern slavery within our services and with our partners.

We operate as a provider of business waste removal in Rotherhithe and recognise the responsibility that comes with procurement, transport and processing of waste. Our zero-tolerance policy requires all employees, contractors and suppliers to comply with national and international human rights standards. Any breach of this policy will lead to immediate investigation and proportionate action, up to and including termination of contracts and referral to the appropriate authorities.

To manage risk effectively we maintain a structured due diligence programme for Rotherhithe business waste removal and associated services. This includes targeted supplier audits, contractual assurances and ongoing monitoring. Core elements of our approach include:

• Pre-engagement risk assessments for suppliers and subcontractors;
• Regular supplier audits and on-site inspections focused on labour practices;
• Employment of clear contractual clauses that require compliance with anti-slavery laws.

Due Diligence, Supplier Audits and Procurement

Our procurement processes for waste removal services in Rotherhithe incorporate mandatory checks before onboarding. Suppliers must provide evidence of legal employment practices, right-to-work checks and appropriate pay records. We conduct supplier audits proportionate to risk — higher-risk partners face deeper reviews and unannounced site visits. Audits assess recruitment methods, worker contracts, working hours and health and safety conditions.

We require all high-risk suppliers to allow independent verification and to implement corrective action plans where deficiencies are found. Audits are documented and outcomes feed into supplier scorecards that influence retention and future contract awards. Where remediation is not possible or where improvements are not sustained, we terminate relationships to protect the integrity of our supply chain.

Our internal teams receive training on recognising indicators of forced labour and human trafficking. Employees in procurement, operations and site management are instructed to escalate concerns immediately. Rotherhithe commercial waste removal staff must complete refresher training annually as part of our compliance programme.

Reporting Channels, Whistleblowing and Annual Review

We maintain clear and secure reporting channels for workers, subcontractors and third parties to raise concerns about modern slavery and exploitation. Reports may be raised confidentially and will be treated with due seriousness. Our reporting framework ensures prompt investigation, protection for whistleblowers and decisive action when necessary. We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who reports in good faith.

To ensure continuous improvement we commit to an annual review of our policies and practices relating to modern slavery. The annual review evaluates the effectiveness of supplier audits, training, contractual clauses and reporting mechanisms. Findings lead to revised controls, additional audit focus areas and policy updates. We document progress and adapt our approach based on emerging risks within the waste sector and the specific context of the Rotherhithe area.

In conclusion, our commitment as a provider of Business Waste Removal Rotherhithe and related services is clear: we enforce a strict zero-tolerance stance against modern slavery, carry out robust supplier audits, provide safe reporting channels and undertake an annual review to strengthen protections. Rotherhithe business waste removal must be ethical and transparent, and we will continue to lead by example in preventing exploitation across our operations and supply chains.
