Modern Slavery Statement — Business Waste Removal Sutton

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the commitment of our Sutton-based commercial waste team to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking across our operations and supply chain. As a provider of Business Waste Removal Sutton and related services, we recognise that exploitation can occur in many forms and we declare a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of forced labour, bonded labour, or human trafficking.

Zero-Tolerance Policy and Principles

Our zero-tolerance stance is embedded in company policy and applies to all employees, contractors, subcontractors and suppliers involved in business and domestic waste collection, recycling and commercial waste removal in Sutton. We maintain clear contractual obligations and require adherence to labour, safety and human rights standards as a condition of doing business with our Sutton business waste removal partners.

We expect every supplier and partner to meet our standards and will undertake proactive supplier audits to verify compliance. These audits examine recruitment practices, wage records, working hours, right-to-work documentation and health and safety measures. Where risks are identified, we apply corrective action plans and, where necessary, suspend or terminate relationships with non-compliant vendors.

Supply Chain Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

We operate a risk-based due diligence programme across the supply chain for commercial waste removal in Sutton and surrounding areas. This programme includes:

• Regular supplier assessments and on-site audits;
• Contract clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery laws;
• Verification of labour agents and subcontractors used in waste handling and transport.

Our procurement team integrates modern slavery checks into supplier onboarding and ongoing review. We use both documentary checks and field inspections to confirm safe working conditions and lawful recruitment, and we prioritise suppliers who demonstrate transparent employment practices and responsible waste management.

Employees and line managers receive training to recognise signs of exploitation in operational settings such as transfer stations, depot operations and customer sites. Training includes how to escalate concerns and the obligations of staff to uphold our anti-slavery commitments in day-to-day decisions.

Reporting channels are maintained to enable confidential and anonymous reporting of suspected modern slavery. We provide multiple pathways for raising concerns internally, and we commit to treating all reports seriously, investigating promptly and protecting whistleblowers from retaliation. All reports feed into a central case management process that records actions and outcomes.

Our leadership team conducts an annual review of our anti-slavery policies, supplier audit results and remediation activities to assess effectiveness and identify improvements. This review measures key indicators such as audit coverage, incidence of non-compliance, corrective actions implemented and training completion rates for Sutton-based waste operatives.

In conclusion, the management of our Sutton commercial waste service affirms a continuing commitment to combat modern slavery across the business. We will maintain robust supplier audits, clear reporting channels, sustained employee training and a formal annual review cycle to ensure continuous improvement. We will not tolerate any form of modern slavery in our operations or supply chain and will take decisive action where breaches are uncovered. This statement is issued in good faith by senior management and reflects our sustained efforts to protect workers and uphold human rights in all Business Waste Removal Sutton activities.
