Modern Slavery Statement — Business Waste Removal Uxbridge

Business Waste Removal Uxbridge is committed to the highest standards of ethical conduct and corporate responsibility. This statement sets out our approach to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in every part of our operations, including the supply chain for commercial waste removal Uxbridge services. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy to any form of forced labour, bonded labour, child labour or human trafficking across our business activities and those of our suppliers.

Scope and commitment

Our policy applies to all colleagues, contractors and third-party partners engaged in Uxbridge business waste removal and related logistics. We require that everyone acting on behalf of our company complies with this statement and the law. We will not knowingly support or deal with any business involved in modern slavery. To reinforce this commitment, we include modern slavery obligations in contracts for commercial waste services in Uxbridge and in procurement for disposal and recycling partners.

Policy framework and responsibilities

Senior management are responsible for implementing and monitoring anti-slavery measures within the business waste removal sector in Uxbridge. Our board reviews performance annually, while operational managers execute day-to-day checks. We adopt clear policies on working hours, recruitment, and payroll to ensure workers are fairly treated and not coerced. We also provide training for employees involved in business waste collection and account management to recognise signs of exploitation.

To protect vulnerable workers we conduct due diligence across our supply chain for business refuse removal Uxbridge, including supplier audits and site assessments. Supplier audits are risk‑based and include documentation checks, interviews, and unannounced site visits where appropriate. We require suppliers to demonstrate compliance with labour standards, provide evidence of right-to-work checks, and maintain transparent subcontracting practices. Failure to meet our standards can result in remedial actions, suspension or termination of the relationship.

Supplier audits focus on high-risk categories such as manual handling, contracted drivers and temporary labour for skip hire and exchange services. Our audit programme is continuous and evolves based on findings. We share improvement plans with suppliers and support capacity building where needed. Where a supplier repeatedly fails to address deficiencies, we will cease engagement to prevent complicity in modern slavery.

We also maintain strong reporting channels to enable safe disclosure of concerns. Staff, suppliers and third parties can report suspected modern slavery through internal reporting lines and an anonymised whistleblowing procedure. Reports are taken seriously and investigated promptly. We guarantee protection from retaliation and confidentiality for whistleblowers to the fullest extent consistent with the law. If evidence of criminal activity is found, we will involve the relevant authorities.

Reporting channels include a confidential hotline, an internal compliance email (managed by our ethics team) and escalation to senior leadership when necessary. We encourage early reporting and ensure every allegation is logged, risk‑assessed and investigated using a formal case management process. Where remedial action is required, we consider both remediation for affected individuals and corrective steps for suppliers.

Training and communications form a key part of our prevention strategy. All employees in roles likely to encounter vulnerable workers receive periodic training on identifying signs of modern slavery and the steps to take. We communicate our expectations clearly to suppliers and publish this statement to make our stance on modern slavery explicit for all stakeholders in the Uxbridge commercial waste removal market.

Annual review — We review this Modern Slavery Statement at least once a year to reflect changes in our business, supply chain and regulatory environment. The annual review includes analysis of audit results, investigation outcomes, training completion rates, and any incidents reported through our channels. Improvements and updated measures are implemented and documented. This continuous improvement cycle ensures our approach to modern slavery remains robust and responsive across all areas of business waste removal in Uxbridge.
