Modern Slavery Statement — Business Waste Removal Westminster

Business Waste Removal Westminster is committed to preventing slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our operations and supply chain. This statement outlines our zero-tolerance approach, the steps we take to assess and manage risk, and how we support reporting and remediation. We recognise that as a provider of waste removal services for businesses across Westminster and surrounding areas, including commercial waste removal in Westminster and broader Westminster business waste removal services, we have a responsibility to act with diligence and integrity.

Zero-Tolerance Policy

We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and forced labour. All employees, contractors and subcontractors engaged by our company are expected to adhere to our standards. Our employment practices are founded on clear contractual terms, lawful wages, safe working conditions and respect for workers' rights. We require that any supplier or partner involved in business waste removal in Westminster or related waste management activities must comply with this policy and acknowledge it in writing.

Expectations of Suppliers and Partners

Our supply chain governance for waste removal Westminster focuses on transparency and accountability. Suppliers are required to provide evidence of fair labour practices and documentation for their workforce. We perform initial and ongoing due diligence including site visits and documentation checks. Key expectations include:

• Compliance with labour laws and prohibition of forced labour or human trafficking.
• Fair recruitment practices, with no fees charged to workers.
• Safe working conditions and lawful working hours and payments.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

We conduct regular supplier audits for our Westminster commercial waste services to verify compliance with our modern slavery standards. Audits combine remote reviews of records and documentation with on-site inspections where risk indicators exist. Audit findings trigger corrective action plans and, where persistent non-compliance is found, we will suspend or terminate contracts. Our procurement team uses a risk-based approach, prioritising audits for suppliers in higher risk jurisdictions or those providing labour-intensive waste handling services.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We maintain multiple secure reporting channels to allow staff, contractors and third parties to report concerns about slavery or trafficking. Reports can be made anonymously and will be treated seriously and investigated promptly. We emphasise protection for whistleblowers and ensure there is no retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith. Reporting options include internal reporting lines and escalation to senior compliance officers, and all reports are logged, assessed, and followed up with appropriate action.

Training, Monitoring and Annual Review

Training is provided to employees involved in procurement, site operations and contract management to help identify signs of exploitation and to ensure consistent application of our policies across all business waste removal Westminster operations. Monitoring includes performance metrics, supplier audit outcomes and corrective action completion rates. We commit to an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and our related policies, ensuring continuous improvement. The annual review assesses the effectiveness of our due diligence, supplier audits, reporting mechanisms and training programmes, and it informs adjustments to our strategy and resources.

Governance and Continuous Improvement

Our senior management team has overall responsibility for the implementation and enforcement of this statement within the context of our business waste services in Westminster and adjacent areas. We will continue to collaborate with industry partners, refine our supplier assurance processes and increase transparency across the supply chain. This statement will be reviewed at least once every 12 months and updated as necessary to reflect changes in our business, emerging risks and improvements in best practice.

Business Waste Removal in Westminster remains fully committed to eradicating modern slavery from our operations and supply chain. We will take decisive action when issues are identified and will foster a culture where ethical conduct and human rights are central to our commercial decisions.
