Modern Slavery Statement for Rubbish Removal Roehampton

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps that Rubbish Removal Roehampton takes to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery is a serious crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. We are fully committed to acting ethically, transparently, and with integrity in all our business relationships.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

Rubbish Removal Roehampton maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, servitude, and child labour. This policy applies to all aspects of our business, including direct employment, contracted workers, and every tier of our supply chain.

We expect everyone working with or on behalf of Rubbish Removal Roehampton to share this commitment. Any confirmed breach of this policy by employees, contractors, or suppliers will result in decisive action, which may include disciplinary measures, contract termination, or reporting to the appropriate authorities.

Our Business and Supply Chains

Rubbish Removal Roehampton provides rubbish removal, waste collection, and related services to residential and commercial customers. Our supply chains include providers of vehicles, equipment, personal protective equipment, fuel, waste transfer and disposal facilities, and various subcontracted labour and service providers.

We recognise that some of these areas can carry higher risks of modern slavery, particularly where lower-skilled or temporary labour is involved. We therefore work to identify and address risks proactively and to build long-term relationships with reputable suppliers who are aligned with our values.

Supplier Standards and Due Diligence

We require suppliers, contractors, and service providers to comply with all applicable laws on modern slavery, human rights, and labour standards. Our expectation is that all workers are employed voluntarily, fairly compensated, and work in safe conditions with appropriate rights and protections.

Where appropriate, we seek information from suppliers about their own policies, procedures, and training related to modern slavery. We will not knowingly engage with any organisation involved in modern slavery or human trafficking and reserve the right to terminate any relationship where credible concerns cannot be satisfactorily addressed.

Supplier Audits and Monitoring

Rubbish Removal Roehampton carries out proportionate audits and monitoring of higher-risk suppliers. These audits may include requesting documentation on recruitment practices, working hours, wage records, and health and safety arrangements.

When risks are identified, we work with suppliers to agree corrective actions and timescales. If meaningful progress is not made, we will review the continuation of the business relationship. We are committed to improving our supplier assessment processes over time and integrating modern slavery checks into our broader supplier management systems.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We encourage employees, contractors, suppliers, and members of the public to report any concerns related to modern slavery or unethical labour practices connected to our business. Concerns can be raised directly with management, through our internal reporting procedures, or by contacting our office by phone or email.

All reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled as confidentially as possible. We do not tolerate victimisation or retaliation against any person who raises a concern in good faith. Where necessary, we will involve external agencies and cooperate fully with law enforcement.

Training and Awareness

We provide relevant training and guidance to managers and key staff so they can recognise the signs of modern slavery and understand how to respond to potential issues. We aim to raise awareness of the risks in our sector and to ensure that ethical considerations form part of day-to-day decision making.

As our business grows, we will continue to develop our training materials and provide refreshers to ensure that modern slavery remains a visible and understood topic throughout Rubbish Removal Roehampton.

Governance and Annual Review

Responsibility for overseeing our modern slavery approach sits with the senior management of Rubbish Removal Roehampton. They are accountable for ensuring that appropriate policies, procedures, and controls are in place and are reviewed regularly.

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed on an annual basis to ensure it remains current, effective, and reflective of our business operations and risk profile. As part of each review, we consider any incidents, audit findings, legal or regulatory developments, and feedback from stakeholders. Where necessary, we update our practices and this statement accordingly.

Rubbish Removal Roehampton is committed to continuous improvement in identifying, preventing, and addressing modern slavery in all its forms. We will continue to strengthen our systems and engage with suppliers, employees, and other stakeholders to uphold human rights and ethical standards across our operations.
