Modern Slavery Statement — Business Waste Removal Brent Cross Commitment

This statement sets out the approach and actions of our Business Waste Removal Brent Cross services to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chain. We declare a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, servitude or exploitation. Our Brent Cross commercial waste removal teams, contractors and suppliers must follow ethical labour standards and respect human rights throughout all activity relating to business and commercial waste removal in the Brent Cross area.

Our policy applies to all employees, temporary staff, agency workers and suppliers engaged with our business waste services in Brent Cross and nearby locations. We have adopted clear governance arrangements: senior management have responsibility for ensuring compliance, while operational managers and procurement lead the day-to-day due diligence. We use robust recruitment controls and verification of identity to reduce the risk of exploitation.

We operate a program of supplier audits and screening to ensure suppliers meet our standards. Our supplier audits include documentation checks, site visits and performance reviews. Key supplier audit elements include:

• Verification of employment records and right-to-work documentation;
• Assessment of wage and hour practices, and payment methods;
• Review of subcontractor chains used for commercial waste removal Brent Cross contracts.

We carry out due diligence before onboarding suppliers and continue periodic monitoring.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

Audits are risk-based and proportionate to the nature and size of the supplier relationship. For higher-risk suppliers — for example, those involved in manual collection, segregation or recycling of business waste in Brent Cross — we increase audit frequency and require corrective action plans where gaps are identified.

Training, Policies and Escalation

We provide training for staff and managers to recognise signs of modern slavery and to apply our policies consistently. Training materials include practical guidance on safe recruitment, verification of documentation, and reporting obligations. We insist suppliers provide training to their frontline employees and subcontractors working on any commercial waste removal Brent Cross contracts. Our internal policies use clear escalation routes and designate welfare leads responsible for immediate intervention where concerns arise.

To support transparency we maintain multiple reporting channels. These reporting channels are designed to be confidential, easily accessible and to protect whistleblowers. They include an internal reporting system, an anonymous reporting mechanism and escalation to senior management and compliance teams. We expect the same reporting accessibility from our supply chain partners and require reports of suspected exploitation to be addressed promptly.

Our corrective actions following audits or reports range from immediate remediation and worker support to contract suspension or termination for serious breaches. We collaborate with local authorities and labour rights organisations to ensure victims receive appropriate protection and support. We enforce contractual clauses that require suppliers to comply with modern slavery regulations and to cooperate with investigations.

We conduct an annual review of our policies and performance. The annual review evaluates supplier audit outcomes, incident reports, training completion rates and the effectiveness of our reporting channels. Findings from the annual review drive continuous improvement measures, which may include enhanced supplier vetting, updated contract terms, or targeted training on areas of persistent risk.

In summary, our commitment to preventing modern slavery within business waste removal Brent Cross operations is unwavering. We maintain a zero-tolerance stance, conduct ongoing supplier audits, provide accessible reporting channels and undertake a comprehensive annual review to adapt and strengthen our approach. Through these measures — and by working closely with our supply chain and community partners — we aim to ensure that all aspects of our Brent Cross business waste removal activity uphold human dignity and labour rights.
