Modern Slavery Statement for Business Waste Removal Battersea

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the commitments and actions of our Battersea business waste removal operations to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our services and supply chain. We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, child labour or exploitation, and this statement explains our approach across procurement, operations and third-party partnerships.

Our Zero-Tolerance Policy

We maintain a zero-tolerance stance: any evidence of modern slavery in our commercial waste removal Battersea activities will trigger immediate action. All employees, contractors and service providers must comply with our ethical standards. We make this expectation explicit in contracts and through staff training so that the culture of the company rejects exploitation.

Supply Chain Controls and Supplier Audits

To ensure that our waste removal in Battersea supply chain meets legal and ethical standards, we operate a structured audit programme. Key elements include:

• Pre-engagement screening of suppliers for compliance and risk factors.
• Periodic supplier audits and site visits focused on labour practices, recruitment and working conditions.
• Corrective action plans and, where necessary, termination of contracts with non-compliant suppliers.

Assessment and Due Diligence

We conduct due diligence on new and existing partners used in our commercial waste removal Battersea activities. This includes documentary checks, reviews of payroll and timesheets where appropriate, and verification of recruitment channels. Our procurement team evaluates human rights risks as part of supplier selection, ensuring transparency and accountability across the chain.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We provide multiple confidential reporting channels for employees, contractors and external parties to raise concerns about modern slavery or unethical conduct. Reports can be made anonymously through internal mechanisms and are treated seriously. All reports are investigated promptly and objectively, and we protect whistleblowers from retaliation. Our reporting policy emphasises timely remediation where issues are identified.

To facilitate vigilance across operations, we deliver regular training on recognising signs of trafficking and exploitation to staff involved in waste collection, transfer and disposal. This training reinforces the expectation of ethical conduct and provides practical steps for escalation and reporting.

Remediation, Monitoring and Continuous Improvement

We believe in active monitoring and continual improvement of our practices related to waste removal services in Battersea. When issues are discovered, we implement remediation plans, work with suppliers to improve standards and, if necessary, terminate relationships. Our approach balances corrective action with protection for affected individuals.

Annual Review and Governance

An annual review of this statement and our anti-slavery measures is conducted by senior management and the compliance team. The review assesses the effectiveness of supplier audits, reporting channels and training programmes within our Battersea commercial waste services. Findings from the annual review inform updated policies, resource allocation and any changes required to strengthen controls.

In concluding, our commitment is clear: Business Waste Removal Battersea and associated services will not tolerate modern slavery. We will maintain rigorous supplier audits, accessible reporting channels, and a scheduled annual review to ensure continuous progress. This statement will be updated as necessary to reflect new risks, regulatory developments and lessons learned from our monitoring activities.
