Modern Slavery Statement — Commercial Waste Removal Chessington

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the commitments of our team providing Commercial Waste Removal Chessington and related services. We recognise that modern slavery and human trafficking are grave abuses of human rights and we operate with a zero-tolerance policy to any form of forced labour, debt bondage, or exploitation in our operations and supply chain. Our pledge covers all forms of commercial waste removal in Chessington, the wider borough, and any subcontracted partners engaged to support business waste collection.

We maintain clear governance and leadership oversight for anti-slavery measures. The Board and senior management for Chessington commercial waste removal activities take responsibility for compliance, ensuring that our policies are implemented across contracts, procurement and site operations. All staff are expected to uphold these standards and report concerns through established channels. This statement applies to our core business units and affiliates delivering commercial waste services in Chessington and adjacent areas.

Our approach to due diligence includes robust supplier assessments and regular supplier audits. We require third-party partners involved in business waste removal Chessington projects to meet our ethical standards and contractual provisions prohibiting modern slavery. These supplier audits evaluate risk factors, working conditions, documentation, and recruitment practices. Where non-compliance is identified, we demand corrective actions, set timelines for remediation, and may suspend or terminate relationships where improvements are not made.

To ensure continuous improvement we carry out a structured set of audit and monitoring activities, including:

• Verification of labour records and right-to-work documentation for personnel engaged in waste collection and handling;
• On-site inspections of subcontractor operations where commercial waste removal in Chessington is performed;
• Contract clause reviews to ensure anti-slavery obligations are explicit and enforceable.

We provide multiple secure reporting channels to support whistleblowing and the reporting of suspected modern slavery. These reporting channels include an anonymous internal hotline, confidential reporting to designated compliance officers, and an independent escalation route for serious concerns. Employees and third parties can use these mechanisms without fear of retaliation. We treat all reports seriously and conduct timely, impartial investigations, applying appropriate remedial action where required.

Training and awareness form an essential part of our prevention activities. All personnel involved in procurement, contract management and waste removal operations receive targeted training on recognising signs of exploitation and the appropriate use of reporting channels. For suppliers and subcontractors engaged in waste removal for businesses in Chessington, we provide guidance materials and require them to cascade training to their workforce where necessary.

We continuously map our supply chain to identify higher-risk categories and geographies where modern slavery risks may be elevated. Our procurement processes integrate risk-based screening and enhanced due diligence for new suppliers involved in Chessington commercial waste removal. Where required, we implement corrective action plans and monitor compliance milestones until satisfactory improvement is demonstrated.

Accountability is maintained through regular supplier audits, performance reviews and contractual enforcement. Suppliers are selected following checks that include ethical compliance history, labour standards, and transparent recruitment practices. We maintain a policy of escalating breaches: depending on severity, responses range from corrective support to contract termination for repeated or severe violations. Our supplier audit program is cyclical and risk-weighted to prioritise areas of greatest concern.

We commit to an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and our related policies, ensuring they remain effective and responsive to emerging risks in the sector. The annual review examines the outcomes of supplier audits, the number and nature of reports received through reporting channels, training completion rates, and remedial actions taken. Conclusions from each review inform updates to our processes and resource allocation for anti-slavery measures.
