The board and senior management retain overall responsibility for implementing and reviewing our anti-slavery measures.

Supplier Standards and Contracts

We require all suppliers and subcontractors to comply with our Supplier Code of Conduct. Contracts for commercial waste removal in Shepherds Bush explicitly prohibit the use of forced labour and require suppliers to provide accurate labour records and evidence of ethical employment practices. Contract clauses include audit rights and termination provisions for breaches relating to modern slavery.

We carry out risk-based supplier screening during onboarding and periodically thereafter. High-risk suppliers — identified by factors such as labour intensity, subcontracting layers, or origin of workforce — are subject to enhanced checks. These checks include documentation review, direct queries about employment practices, and requests for labour and payroll records from those providing commercial waste services in Shepherds Bush.

Supplier audits are a core control. We conduct scheduled and unannounced audits of critical suppliers, and we document non-conformances with corrective action plans. Audit findings influence ongoing supplier classification and may trigger contract remediation or termination if compliance cannot be restored promptly.

Reporting channels are available for employees, contractors and third parties to raise concerns confidentially and without fear of retaliation. We maintain a whistleblowing mechanism and encourage reporting of any suspicion of modern slavery or labour exploitation within the commercial waste removal supply chain. Reports are investigated by trained personnel and escalated to senior management where necessary.

We provide regular training for staff and key suppliers on identifying signs of modern slavery, proper recruitment practices and secure reporting. Awareness drives help our teams in Shepherds Bush commercial waste removal roles to spot indicators such as withheld wages, restricted movement, and coercive practices, ensuring swift intervention where required.

Monitoring, review and continuous improvement: we maintain a programme of metrics and key performance indicators to track compliance, remedial actions and training completion rates. Our Modern Slavery Statement is supported by a cross-functional working group that reviews emerging risks and strengthens controls to reduce the risk of slavery and trafficking in our operations and supply chain.
