Modern Slavery Statement — Business Waste Removal Wandsworth

Business Waste Removal Wandsworth is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking across our operations and supply chain. This statement sets out the steps we take to ensure that our commercial waste removal Wandsworth services operate without exploitation, forced labour or human trafficking. We adopt a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery and require the same high standards from our contractors, sub-contractors and suppliers.

We recognise that as a provider of business waste removal in Wandsworth we have both a moral and legal duty to ensure that persons affected by our operations are treated with dignity and respect. Our policy is embedded in company values that emphasise transparency, accountability and proactive risk management. Any breach of this policy is unacceptable and will result in immediate investigation and decisive action.

Our approach covers the identification of risks across the lifecycle of waste collection and disposal, including the sourcing of labour, transport logistics and third-party processing. We require all partners in the Wandsworth business waste removal chain to provide clear evidence of compliance with employment, immigration and health and safety laws. Where risks are identified we implement targeted mitigations, increased oversight and remedial plans.

Supplier Standards, Audits and Due Diligence

We operate a robust supplier due diligence programme for Wandsworth business waste removal contracts. New suppliers undergo pre-qualification checks, and existing suppliers are subject to periodic reassessments. Our procurement terms include contractual clauses that forbid the use of forced or child labour and require adherence to internationally recognised labour standards.

Supplier audits are central to our verification process. These audits combine document review, on-site inspections where practicable and remote assessments to verify wage payments, working hours, recruitment practices and the legality of employment. Audit findings determine corrective actions, timelines for remediation and, if necessary, cessation of business relations.

We maintain a risk-based audit schedule for suppliers engaged in commercial waste removal Wandsworth activities. Factors influencing audit frequency include geography, sector risk profiles, subcontracting chains and any prior non-compliance. We also encourage suppliers to implement their own anti-slavery policies and to cascade requirements to their subcontractors.

Reporting Channels, Training and Continuous Improvement

All staff, contractors and partners involved in business waste removal Wandsworth operations are trained to recognise signs of modern slavery and instructed on our reporting channels. We operate multiple secure reporting channels, including anonymous mechanisms, to ensure concerns can be raised without fear of retaliation. Reports are treated seriously and investigated promptly, with protective steps taken for potential victims while investigations proceed.

Our internal controls include clear escalation pathways and designated compliance officers who oversee investigations into suspected slavery or trafficking. We encourage a speak-up culture and provide refresher training for operations, procurement and site management teams. Training materials are reviewed and updated regularly to reflect legislative changes and emerging risks.

We publish the outcomes of remedial actions where appropriate and maintain records of investigations, audits and corrective measures. To support continuous improvement we collaborate with industry partners, local authorities and third-party experts to strengthen our policies and procedures across the supply chain of commercial waste removal services in the Wandsworth area.

Our zero-tolerance stance is backed by clear governance: senior management are accountable for implementing this statement and ensuring resources are available to meet its aims. Any supplier or employee found to be complicit in modern slavery will face termination of contracts and other legal consequences where applicable.

We will review this Modern Slavery Statement annually and whenever material changes occur in our operations or the risk environment. The annual review process assesses the effectiveness of our due diligence, audit outcomes, training uptake and reporting mechanisms, and sets objectives for the coming year to enhance transparency and victim protection.

By publishing this statement, Business Waste Removal Wandsworth reiterates its commitment to ethical operations and to ensuring that our waste management and commercial waste removal Wandsworth activities are free from exploitation. We will continue to strengthen supplier audits, maintain trusted reporting channels and conduct timely annual reviews to hold ourselves and our partners to the highest standards.
