Modern Slavery Statement — Business Waste Removal Surbiton

Business Waste Removal Surbiton is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking across our operations. This statement explains our approach to identifying and addressing risks in our commercial waste removal Surbiton activities. We operate a zero-tolerance policy to any form of forced labour, exploitation or coercion and embed ethical standards into our daily business waste services in Surbiton.

We recognise that the waste management sector can present risks across supply chains, particularly when using sub-contractors or temporary labour. Our company policy requires that every contractor and supplier engaged for business waste removal in Surbiton adheres to our minimum standards. These include lawful employment, transparent pay, and safe working conditions enforced by routine checks and contractual clauses.

In line with our commitment to ethical commercial waste removal Surbiton, we undertake regular supplier audits and due diligence. Audits assess recruitment practices, worker documentation, and working hours. Audit outcomes are recorded and actioned: non-compliance triggers corrective plans or termination of supply agreements. We also perform random site inspections to verify living and working conditions for on-site crews.

Zero-Tolerance Policy and Prevention Measures

Our zero-tolerance policy is publicly stated and communicated internally through training and policy handbooks. All employees, contractors and partners are required to sign that they understand the policy. Breaches of the policy lead to swift disciplinary action or contract termination. These steps ensure our Surbiton business waste removal operations remain free from exploitation.

We maintain robust reporting channels to encourage early identification of concerns. Employees and third parties may report suspected slavery or trafficking via secure, anonymous mechanisms. Reports are treated confidentially and investigated by designated compliance officers. We do not tolerate retaliation and provide support where needed, including referrals to independent advisory services.

Training forms a core part of our approach to responsible business waste collection across Surbiton and the surrounding areas. Staff receive regular instruction on recognising indicators of modern slavery, correct reporting procedures and the company's expectations of suppliers. Training is refreshed annually and adapted based on emerging risks.

Supplier Audits, Reporting Channels and Continuous Improvement

Supplier audits form a central component of our modern slavery mitigation strategy in commercial waste removal Surbiton. Our audit programme includes document checks, on-site interviews and verification of payroll and subcontractor arrangements. Where issues are identified, we implement corrective actions and follow-up reviews until we are satisfied compliance is restored.

We provide multiple reporting channels that are accessible and protected: an internal compliance hotline, a confidential email route and a secure external reporting portal. All reports are logged, risk-assessed and investigated promptly. Outcomes and remedial actions are documented to improve transparency and accountability across our waste removal services.

Accountability and continuous review are crucial. We conduct an annual review of policies, supplier performance and training effectiveness. The results of the annual review inform updates to contractual requirements, procurement practices and audit frequency. To summarise key actions we commit to:

• Maintain a strict zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery across all business waste removal in Surbiton.
• Conduct regular supplier audits and site inspections to ensure compliance.
• Provide secure reporting channels and protect whistleblowers from retaliation.
• Review and update our modern slavery policies and training on an annual basis.

Through these measures, Business Waste Removal Surbiton and our commercial waste removal teams strive to eliminate modern slavery risks and ensure ethical practices are maintained across our operations and supply chains. We will continue to strengthen monitoring, engage with suppliers, and apply corrective actions where necessary to protect workers and uphold human rights.
