Modern Slavery Statement — Commercial Waste Removal Holborn

At Commercial Waste Removal Holborn we declare a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour throughout all aspects of our operations. This statement explains our approach to identifying, preventing and remedying modern slavery risks across our services, including commercial waste collection Holborn and related logistical activities. We are committed to transparency and continuous improvement and will not tolerate exploitation in any form within our business or supply chain.

We apply these principles across our entire network of contractors and partners who provide commercial refuse and waste removal in Holborn and adjacent districts. Our obligation covers employees, contractors, temporary workers and subcontractors. The scope of this policy includes procurement, transport, sorting, recycling and disposal services. We expect all suppliers to meet the same high ethical standards and to demonstrate they have processes in place to prevent unlawful labour practices.

Our program to combat modern slavery focuses on diligent supplier management, targeted supplier audits and robust contractual requirements. We incorporate anti-slavery clauses into supplier agreements, require documentation verifying legal right to work, and use risk-based assessments to prioritise where audits are most needed. Suppliers engaged in commercial waste removal services in Holborn face regular scrutiny and are required to cooperate with our audit teams.

Due Diligence, Supplier Audits and Controls

We conduct ongoing due diligence across our supply chain. This includes background checks, review of recruitment practices and verification of payroll procedures. Our supplier audit programme includes on-site visits and documentation checks. Key elements of supplier assessments include:

• Verification of employment contracts and right-to-work documentation.
• Inspection of recruitment and wage payment processes.
• Interviews with workers where appropriate and permitted.
• Assessment of third-party recruitment agencies and subcontractors.

We require corrective action plans for any non-compliance identified during audits. Where breaches are serious, we will take decisive steps, including termination of contracts. Our procurement team uses audit outcomes to refine supplier selection and to share best practices that promote lawful, ethical working conditions across the commercial waste removal supply chain in Holborn.

Reporting Channels, Training and Remediation

We provide clear reporting channels for suspected modern slavery incidents. Employees and third parties are encouraged to report concerns through confidential internal mechanisms and through anonymised reporting routes. Reports are investigated promptly and thoroughly. We protect whistleblowers from retaliation and maintain strict confidentiality wherever possible to safeguard victims and witnesses.

Training is a core component of our response. Staff involved in procurement, operations and contractor management receive training to identify signs of exploitation, understand reporting obligations and apply the zero-tolerance policy. We also offer guidance to suppliers, emphasising prevention, early detection and the importance of ethical recruitment practices.

Our remedy and support approach prioritises the safety and rights of affected workers. Where modern slavery is identified, we provide support measures, cooperate with relevant authorities and ensure remediation for impacted individuals. We review each case to improve future prevention efforts and to refine our supplier audit processes.

Accountability and governance are essential. The senior management team at Commercial Waste Removal — Holborn is responsible for implementing this statement and for ensuring adequate resources are allocated to anti-slavery measures. We maintain records of our due diligence, audit outcomes and remediation actions and regularly report to our board on progress and emerging risks.

We will review this Modern Slavery Statement annually as part of our continuous improvement cycle. The annual review evaluates the effectiveness of our policies, training, supplier audit programme and reporting channels, and it updates risk assessments to reflect changing circumstances in the waste management sector. Following each review, we will adjust controls and programmes to strengthen protections for workers in the Holborn commercial waste removal ecosystem.

By maintaining a culture of vigilance, enforcing a strict zero-tolerance approach and implementing systematic supplier audits, reporting channels and an annual review process, we commit to eliminating modern slavery from our operations and from the wider commercial waste removal Holborn supply chain. This statement is made in good faith and will be published to reflect our ongoing commitment to ethical business practices.
