Modern Slavery Statement — Business Waste Removal Sanderstead

Business Waste Removal Sanderstead is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our operations. This statement outlines our approach and the steps we take to ensure that our commercial waste removal Sanderstead activities meet high ethical standards. We adopt a zero-tolerance policy to any form of forced labour, child labour or human trafficking across our own activities and across our supply chains.

We expect everyone who works with us — directly employed staff, contractors and sub-contractors — to share our commitment. Our staff receive training on recognising signs of exploitation and on how to raise concerns. The policy applies to the full range of our waste removal services in Sanderstead, including transfer station operations, collection crews and third-party logistics partners.

As part of our due diligence we regularly assess risk by geography, service type and supplier profile. We also publish clear expectations for suppliers and monitor compliance through audits and contractual clauses. Our supplier code of conduct requires adherence to labour standards and transparency in recruitment practices.

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and will not knowingly conduct business with any organisation that fails to meet our standards. This policy is embedded in procurement decisions for business waste removal in Sanderstead and in the assessment of new service providers. Breaches of the policy may lead to contract termination and referral to the appropriate authorities.

We operate a structured supplier assurance programme for commercial waste removal Sanderstead suppliers, which includes risk-based auditing, self-assessment questionnaires and contractual warranties. Our approach emphasizes prevention, detection and remediation. We also work to improve local industry standards through collaboration and sharing best practice.

Key elements of our supplier audit and oversight process include:

• Risk-based supplier profiling and prioritisation for audits.
• On-site and remote audits to verify labour practices and documentation.
• Corrective action plans and time-bound remediation for non-compliance.

We provide multiple confidential reporting channels so workers, partners and third parties can raise concerns about suspected modern slavery or unethical practice within our waste collection and disposal operations. Reports will be treated seriously, investigated promptly and escalated when necessary. We encourage an open culture where employees feel safe to speak up without fear of retaliation.

Our reporting framework is supported by trained investigators and by processes designed to protect whistleblowers. When allegations are substantiated, we take immediate remedial action which may include assistance to affected individuals, disciplinary measures and contract remediation. We also review recruitment and payroll practices across our value chain to identify and close gaps that could enable exploitation.

Accountability for implementation sits with senior management and the board. We review our policies, training and supplier controls on an annual basis to ensure they remain effective and proportionate to the risks faced by the waste removal sector in Sanderstead. This annual review includes performance metrics, findings from supplier audits and feedback from operational teams so that our modern slavery statement evolves with changing risks and regulations.
