Modern Slavery Statement — Rubbish Removal Waste Commitment

Rubbish Removal Waste takes a firm and transparent position against modern slavery and human trafficking. This statement sets out our approach to ensuring that rubbish removal and related waste services are delivered without exploitation. Our commitment is rooted in ethical sourcing, worker dignity and proactive measures that address the risks inherent in the waste removal and rubbish disposal industries.

We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards forced labour, child labour and any form of coercion. All employees, contractors and partners are expected to adhere to the principles in this statement. Rubbish Removal Waste requires compliance with employment laws and standards and maintains recruitment practices that reduce vulnerability to exploitation.

Risk Assessment and Supplier Due Diligence

Our procurement process for waste management and rubbish collection services includes risk-based supplier audits and checks. We assess suppliers for fair pay practices, safe working conditions and legal employment documentation. Where higher risk is identified—such as third-party labour providers or subcontractors involved in waste handling—we implement enhanced monitoring and regular compliance reviews.

We carry out targeted supplier audits and site inspections. These audits examine payroll records, working hours, health and safety compliance and worker interviews where appropriate. The audit outcomes influence our purchasing decisions and can trigger corrective action plans. If remediation is unsuccessful or serious breaches are found, we will terminate relationships with suppliers who do not meet our standards for ethical rubbish and waste removal.

Training, Policies and Internal Controls

All staff involved in procurement, operations and logistics receive training on recognising the indicators of modern slavery and the proper steps to escalate concerns. Our internal policies include clear reporting procedures, whistleblower protections and a requirement that waste removal subcontractors sign our code of conduct. We maintain documented evidence of due diligence and incorporate modern slavery clauses into contracts.

We use a combination of contractual obligations, routine audits and performance-monitoring metrics to ensure compliance. Rubbish removal services are reviewed not only for environmental and safety standards but also for labour rights compliance. Continuous improvement is driven by internal reviews and feedback gathered from oversight activities.

Our reporting channels are designed to be accessible and protective. Workers, suppliers and third parties can raise concerns through anonymous hotlines and internal reporting mechanisms. We treat all reports seriously and investigate promptly. Reporting channels are publicised within our workforce and included in supplier onboarding materials to ensure transparency across the supply chain.

When allegations are confirmed, appropriate remediation is delivered to affected workers and disciplinary or contractual consequences are applied to responsible parties. We follow best practice in victim-centred remediation and collaborate with local authorities or NGOs when specialist support is required. Our approach balances accountability with support for those impacted by exploitative practices in the rubbish and waste removal sector.

This statement will be reviewed annually and reported at board level to ensure its ongoing effectiveness. The annual review evaluates audit results, incident reports, supplier performance and evolving risk profiles. Where necessary, we update policies, increase training frequency and strengthen contractual safeguards to reflect lessons learned and changes in the external environment.
