Modern Slavery Statement — Business Waste Removal Kensington

Business Waste Removal Kensington is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all parts of our operations and supply chain. This statement sets out our ongoing approach to identify, mitigate and remedy risks related to forced labour, exploitation and other modern slavery practices across our commercial waste removal services in Kensington and surrounding areas.

We operate a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery. All employees, contractors and partners are expected to comply with this policy and the highest standards of ethical behaviour. Our leadership team has endorsed these principles and allocates resources to ensure effective implementation and oversight.

Our expectations of suppliers and subcontractors are clear: comply with applicable labour laws, demonstrate transparent labour practices and cooperate with audits. Key supplier obligations include:

• Maintaining lawful contracts and pay for workers;
• Allowing freedom of movement and voluntary employment;
• Providing safe working conditions and transparent recruitment processes.

Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

Business waste removal in Kensington requires active due diligence across procurement and operations. We conduct risk-based supplier audits and assessments, focusing on high-risk geographies and services such as manual handling, temporary labour and transportation. Audits are performed by trained internal teams or accredited third parties and are supported by documentary reviews, site visits and worker interviews where appropriate.

Contractual clauses and our supplier code of conduct include explicit modern slavery provisions. We require corrective action plans where deficiencies are identified and reserve the right to suspend or terminate relationships when remediation is inadequate. These measures apply to all variants of our waste management work including commercial, retail and construction waste removal in Kensington.

To ensure compliance we implement periodic checks, verification of payroll processes and validation of recruitment practices. Our procurement team integrates modern slavery risk screening into supplier onboarding and ongoing performance reviews.

Reporting Channels, Remediation and Annual Review

We maintain confidential reporting channels for staff, workers across our supply chain and third parties to raise concerns about suspected modern slavery. Reports can be made through secure, anonymised mechanisms within the business and via independent, third-party whistleblowing services. All reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and escalated to senior management where necessary.

Where incidents are identified we take a victim-centred approach to remediation, prioritising safety, access to support and legal rights. Remedial actions may include worker repatriation support, restitution, disciplinary action against responsible parties and collaboration with law enforcement or statutory agencies when appropriate. We document outcomes to improve future prevention.

Training and awareness form a core part of our prevention strategy. Employees, contractors and relevant suppliers receive regular training on recognising signs of exploitation, reporting responsibilities and company policies. Training is refreshed annually and adapted to reflect emerging risks in the waste removal sector.

We commit to an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and associated policies. The review evaluates the effectiveness of due diligence, supplier audits, reporting channels and remediation measures. Findings guide continuous improvement, policy updates and resource allocation to strengthen our response to modern slavery risks across all Business Waste Removal Kensington operations.

In summary, our approach combines clear policy, active supplier engagement, rigorous audits, safe reporting mechanisms and an annual evaluation cycle to prevent, detect and respond to modern slavery. We will continue to embed these practices across our commercial waste removal services in Kensington to uphold human rights and ethical labour standards.
