Modern Slavery Statement — Skip Hire Wandsworth Commitment

Skip Hire Wandsworth sets out a clear, zero-tolerance policy on modern slavery and human trafficking. This statement applies across our skip hire Wandsworth operations, supply chains and service partners. We recognise the responsibility of organisations in the waste management and skip-hire sector to prevent exploitation, and we commit to practical measures to identify, mitigate and remediate any risk of forced labour, servitude or related abuse.

Our modern slavery policy applies to employees, contractors, subcontractors and suppliers engaged in any part of our operations. It is embedded in procurement and operational processes for Wandsworth skip hire and adjacent services. All staff receive guidance on the policy and are expected to act in accordance with our standards; failure to comply will lead to disciplinary or contractual action.

We operate a strict zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery. Any evidence of exploitation will trigger immediate investigations and the termination of relationships where appropriate. We will cooperate with law enforcement and regulatory authorities, support victims and seek legal remedies. This stance is integral to the reputation and ethical operation of skip-hire Wandsworth activities and underpins every procurement decision.

Supplier Audits, Due Diligence and Contractual Safeguards

Supplier due diligence is central to preventing modern slavery in our supply chain. For suppliers to Skip Hire Wandsworth we conduct risk-based assessments prior to engagement and at regular intervals thereafter. Our approach includes:

• Contract clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery laws and our code of conduct;
• Risk screening for geography, sector and labour practices;
• Onboarding checks including documentary evidence and capability verification.

We run supplier audits and monitoring using both desktop and on-site inspections. Audit findings lead to corrective action plans, remediation steps and enhanced monitoring for high-risk suppliers. Where suppliers fail to meet required standards and do not remediate, Skip-hire Wandsworth will suspend or terminate the relationship to protect workers and our operations.

Reporting Channels, Training and Continuous Improvement

We provide clear and accessible reporting channels for concerns about modern slavery. Reports can be made through confidential internal routes and, where required, anonymously. Our reporting framework for Wandsworth skip hire includes:

• Confidential internal reporting to senior management;
• Anonymous third-party reporting mechanisms;
• Escalation protocols to ensure timely investigation and protection of whistleblowers.

Training and awareness are delivered to employees, supervisors and procurement teams. We ensure that those who manage contracts and inspections are able to recognise indicators of forced labour, assess risk and respond appropriately. Protection for reporters and non-retaliation are core principles; anyone raising concerns will be supported and treated seriously.

Skip Hire Wandsworth undertakes an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and our policies. The review includes evaluation of supplier audit results, incident records, training effectiveness and emerging risks within the waste management and skip hire sectors. Outcomes of the annual review inform improvements to our due diligence, contractual terms and remediation procedures.

We commit to publishing the results of our annual review internally and ensuring that governance arrangements remain robust. Senior leadership and designated compliance officers oversee implementation, monitor key performance indicators and ensure that corrective actions are completed in a timely manner.

Skip Hire Wandsworth will continue to engage with suppliers, peers and relevant stakeholders to share best practice and strengthen sector-level responses to modern slavery. Our pledge is to remain vigilant, to act decisively when issues arise, and to foster a supply chain free from exploitation.

Conclusion: This Modern Slavery Statement represents a sustained commitment by Skip Hire Wandsworth to prevent modern slavery in our operations and supply chain, to maintain rigorous supplier audits, provide secure reporting channels and to conduct an annual review that drives continuous improvement.
