Modern Slavery Statement — Business Waste Removal Hatch End

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the commitment of Business Waste Removal Hatch End and our affiliated teams to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations. We recognise that preventing exploitation is a core part of responsible waste management and of providing ethical business waste removal in Hatch End. This statement applies to all employees, contractors, and supply chain partners engaged in providing waste collection, recycling and disposal services.

We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. Any form of forced labour, bonded labour, malicious withholding of wages, or exploitation will not be tolerated. Our zero-tolerance policy is enforced through contractual obligations, routine checks and clear disciplinary measures for breaches. Our commitment to ethical conduct underpins every contract in Business Waste Removal - Hatch End and shapes our procurement decisions.

Our scope covers direct employees and third parties across the supply chain, from drivers and site operatives to subcontractors and materials processors. We expect Hatch End business waste removal partners to meet the same high standards; where they do not, we will take remedial action which can include contract termination. We document risk assessments and maintain records to track adherence to policy and to identify higher-risk relationships early.

Policies, Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

To ensure compliance we have implemented a suite of policies and procedures: an Anti-Slavery Policy, Supplier Code of Conduct, and procurement terms that explicitly prohibit slavery and human trafficking. Our due diligence process for new suppliers includes background checks, screening for legal compliance, and verification of labour practices. For ongoing supplier relationships we schedule periodic reviews and performance checks.

We conduct targeted supplier audits and assessments focused on higher-risk activities. Key audit elements include:

• Verification of payroll and wage records to ensure fair remuneration
• Checks on recruitment practices to prevent third-party exploitation
• Site visits and interviews with operational staff where appropriate
• Confirmation of appropriate contracts and lawful working hours

Where audits reveal non-conformance, we apply corrective action plans, monitor implementation and escalate persistent issues. Our supplier audit programme is a central pillar of preventing modern slavery in the business waste removal supply chain in Hatch End.

Reporting Channels, Training and Annual Review

We provide multiple confidential reporting channels so concerns can be raised safely and without fear of retaliation. Employees and third parties are encouraged to report suspected cases through internal reporting routes, anonymous hotlines and designated compliance contacts. Reports are investigated promptly and with discretion. Anyone who raises concerns in good faith will be protected.

Training is provided to employees with responsibility for procurement, contracting and onsite supervision. Training covers recognising signs of exploitation, correct verification of identity and documentation, and how to use reporting channels. Managers are trained to respond to allegations with a consistent, lawful and victim-sensitive approach. Our training materials reference the specific risks relevant to waste collection, materials processing and logistics.

We will review this Modern Slavery Statement and our mitigation measures at least once every 12 months as part of an annual review. The annual review evaluates policy effectiveness, audit findings, training participation and any incidents or near-misses. Findings from the review inform improvements to supplier audits, contractual language and employee awareness programmes to continuously strengthen our response to modern slavery risks.

In conclusion, Business Waste Removal Hatch End remains resolute in its duty to prevent modern slavery. We combine a clear zero-tolerance stance with practical steps — supplier audits, robust reporting channels, staff training and an annual review cycle — to reduce risk across our operations and supply chain. We will continue to monitor, report on and improve our processes to ensure ethical waste management practices and protect vulnerable workers involved in business waste removal in Hatch End.

The senior management team endorses this statement, reaffirming that preventing modern slavery is an organisational priority and a continuous responsibility. We will publish our progress and maintain transparency about actions taken where appropriate to demonstrate our ongoing commitment to ethical operations.
