Modern Slavery Statement – Business Waste Removal Holborn

Business Waste Removal Holborn is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our approach to assessing and managing risks, embedding a zero-tolerance policy, and promoting responsible waste management for commercial and local clients across Holborn. We recognise our responsibility as a provider of commercial waste removal in Holborn and adjacent areas to minimise the risk of exploitation in our supply chains and operations.

Scope and Purpose

Our policy covers all employees, contractors, agency staff and suppliers engaged by Holborn business waste removal services. The statement applies to direct activities and to the supply chain for equipment, transportation, processing and recycling. We are focused on ensuring that our Holborn waste removal services and associated procurement practices do not contribute to forced labour, debt bondage, or other forms of modern slavery.

Zero-Tolerance Policy

We maintain a strict, zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery. Any evidence or suspicion of forced labour, human trafficking, or exploitation will lead to immediate action, which may include termination of contracts and referral to the appropriate authorities. All staff are required to act in accordance with this policy and to report concerns through our designated reporting channels. Breaches are treated as serious misconduct and will be investigated thoroughly.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We perform risk-based supplier due diligence for all new and existing suppliers to our Holborn business waste removal network. Our process includes pre-qualification checks, contractual clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery standards, and on-site or documentary reviews. We conduct regular supplier audits to verify compliance with ethical labour practices.

Audit activities include:

• Verification of worker documentation and lawful employment status
• Review of payroll, working hours and living conditions where applicable
• Assessment of recruitment practices and third-party labour providers
• Corrective action plans and follow-up audits to confirm remediation

Our audit program for commercial waste removal Holborn providers is prioritised by risk and value of relationship. Suppliers identified as higher risk are subject to more frequent and detailed assessments. Supplier audits form a core part of our control environment and inform ongoing supplier development and contractual decisions.

We provide training to employees and procurement teams on recognising signs of exploitation and the steps to take if concerns arise. Staff engaged in waste handling and transport receive targeted guidance relevant to their roles within the Holborn business waste removal sector. Training is refreshed periodically to reflect emerging risks and regulatory developments.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Business Waste Removal Holborn maintains secure and confidential reporting channels for raising concerns. We encourage early reporting and provide multiple routes for disclosures, including anonymous mechanisms, internal reporting to supervisors, and escalation to a designated compliance officer. All reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled with care to protect whistleblowers from retaliation. Strong measures are in place to ensure confidentiality and impartial investigation.

Annual Review, Continuous Improvement and Accountability

We commit to an annual review of this statement and associated policies, ensuring improvements based on audit findings, stakeholder feedback and changes in legislation. The review will cover supplier audit outcomes, incident investigations, training completion rates, and any remediation actions taken. Senior management and the board receive regular reports on modern slavery risk management and progress. Our aim is continuous improvement across Holborn and beyond.

Where instances of modern slavery are identified, we will take proportionate remediation actions, cooperate with law enforcement and support victims where appropriate. This may include contract termination, supplier remediation plans, and collaboration with third-party specialists. We believe a responsible approach includes both enforcement and practical steps to remedy harm.

Business Waste Removal Holborn will continue to embed anti-slavery measures across procurement, operations and partnerships. We seek to work only with suppliers that share our values and demonstrate transparent labour practices. By combining risk-based supplier audits, clear contractual requirements, robust reporting channels and an enduring zero-tolerance stance, we aim to reduce the risk of modern slavery within the waste removal supply chain in Holborn.

Approval and Publication — This statement has been approved by senior management and will be published and reviewed annually as part of our governance cycle. It reflects our commitment to responsible waste management and to upholding human rights across all aspects of our Holborn business waste removal activities.
