Modern Slavery Statement — Business Waste Removal Southgate

Business Waste Removal Southgate is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our operations. This statement sets out our approach to ensuring that our commercial waste management, business waste removal in Southgate and supporting services operate with the highest ethical standards. We adopt a zero-tolerance policy toward all forms of forced labour, exploitation and human trafficking.

We recognise that waste removal and recycling supply chains can be complex, so our policies apply to every tier of our operations — from on-site collections to contracted haulage and recycling partners. Our obligations under anti-slavery regulations are embedded in the company culture and in documented procedures that are regularly communicated to employees and contractors.

Policy and Leadership

Our board and senior management maintain clear responsibility for the implementation of anti-slavery measures across Southgate business waste removal services. We publish a clear zero-tolerance policy that:

• Prohibits forced, bonded or involuntary labour in all forms;
• Requires lawful wages and working hours for any personnel associated with our contracts;
• Demands freedom of movement and appropriate identity documentation for workers.

Our recruitment and workforce policies are designed to detect and deter modern slavery risks. All staff involved in recruiting, supervising or coordinating cleanse operations are trained to recognise signs of coercion, document retention issues and suspicious recruitment practices in the local economy and in broader waste management networks.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We apply rigorous supplier checks before onboarding contractors and periodically thereafter. For suppliers providing waste collection, transfer, processing and disposal services, we conduct:

• Pre-engagement screening including identity, legal status and conflict checks;
• Contract clauses requiring compliance with our anti-slavery requirements;
• On-site and remote audits to assess labour practices, worker records and subcontracting arrangements in the supply chain.

Our supplier audit process uses a risk-based approach: higher-risk suppliers (by geography, service type or labour intensity) receive more frequent and detailed audits. Non-compliance triggers corrective action plans, suspension of work and potential contract termination for severe breaches.

We also use contractual remedies and collaborative improvement plans to remedy poor practices. Where issues are found, our teams seek to protect affected individuals and ensure rapid remediation, always prioritising the welfare of workers over commercial considerations for provision of commercial waste removal Southgate contracts.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing We maintain multiple secure reporting channels for employees, contractors and third parties to raise concerns about forced labour or exploitation. Reports can be made confidentially and without fear of retaliation. Our procedures ensure:

• Timely, impartial investigation of allegations;
• Protection measures for whistleblowers and victims;
• Escalation to senior management and, where necessary, external authorities.

Monitoring, Effectiveness and Continuous Improvement The effectiveness of our approach to preventing modern slavery in Southgate waste services is evaluated through internal metrics, audit results, and supplier performance data. We maintain clear KPIs to measure compliance rates, audit completion and the resolution of identified issues.

We are committed to continuous improvement. Our annual review cycle ensures that policies are updated in light of new legislation, audit findings and sector best practice. Each year the leadership team publishes a review of our anti-slavery activities and refines the supply chain controls supporting our business waste removal — Southgate operations.

Conclusion: Business Waste Removal Southgate will continue to enforce a strict zero-tolerance stance on modern slavery, deepen supplier audits, maintain trusted reporting channels and perform an annual review to enhance protections for workers across our services. These measures collectively reinforce our pledge to ethical, transparent and responsible waste management across the Southgate area.
