Modern Slavery Statement — Business Waste Removal Tufnell Park

Business Waste Removal Tufnell Park is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations. This statement sets out our approach to reducing risk across our commercial waste removal and refuse services in Tufnell Park and nearby areas. We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, child labour, coercion or exploitation within our own organisation and throughout our supply chain.

Our zero-tolerance policy is embedded in company culture, procurement and contracting. All employees, subcontractors and suppliers are required to comply with our code of conduct which explicitly prohibits modern slavery practices. We use clear contractual clauses in supplier agreements to ensure that everyone providing goods or services for our business waste removal in Tufnell Park understands their obligations and the consequences of non-compliance.

We conduct risk-based supplier audits and due diligence for new and existing suppliers, prioritising those involved in labour-intensive services and subcontracted logistics. Our audit programme for Tufnell Park commercial waste removal includes documentary reviews, on-site checks and where appropriate, worker interviews. Findings are recorded and tracked, and suppliers are required to implement corrective action plans when risks are identified.

Due Diligence, Supplier Audits and Reporting Channels

We maintain a structured due diligence process which evaluates the risk of modern slavery at each stage of procurement for business refuse collection, recycling and disposal. Supplier audits are scheduled regularly and supplemented by random compliance checks to verify working conditions, pay, hours and the legality of labour arrangements. Suppliers that repeatedly fail to meet our standards risk suspension or removal from our approved vendor list.

We provide multiple safe and confidential reporting channels for workers, staff and third parties to raise concerns about suspected modern slavery. These include an anonymous whistleblowing mechanism, internal reporting to management, and escalation routes to a designated compliance officer. The reporting process emphasises protection from retaliation and offers support for potential victims of exploitation.

Where reports or audit findings indicate potential modern slavery, we promptly initiate investigations, cooperate with law enforcement and implement remedial actions. Remediation may include facilitating access to medical, legal or housing support for affected individuals, terminating contracts with exploitative suppliers and revising procurement practices to prevent recurrence.

Monitoring, Training and Annual Review

We monitor the effectiveness of our policies and controls using key performance indicators relevant to our waste management services in Tufnell Park, including the number of supplier audits completed, incidents reported, and corrective actions closed. Record-keeping supports transparency and continuous improvement. Training programmes for staff and management cover recognition of modern slavery indicators, proper use of reporting channels and contractual expectations for contractors engaged in business waste removal Tufnell Park-wide.

Our commitment extends to ensuring that the practices of sub-contractors and partner organisations reflect our standards for ethical labour. We maintain a procurement screening process for new waste collection partners and require contractual warranties that there is no forced or bonded labour in their operations. For local business waste services in Tufnell Park and surrounding boroughs, we emphasise regular communication and collaborative improvement plans.

This statement is reviewed at least annually by senior management and the board to reflect changes in legislation, emerging risks and the outcomes of our audits and investigations. Annual review ensures that our policies remain robust and that our actions continue to reduce the risk of modern slavery within our business waste removal operations. We remain resolute in our pledge to uphold human rights across all areas of commercial waste removal in Tufnell Park.
