Modern Slavery Statement — Business Waste Removal Purley

Business Waste Removal Purley is committed to preventing modern slavery in all areas of our operations. This statement sets out our zero-tolerance approach to slavery, forced labour and human trafficking, and explains the steps we take across our Purley commercial waste removal services and wider supply chain. We recognise our responsibility to uphold fundamental human rights and to ensure that workers supporting our waste management activities are treated with dignity and respect.

Our policy is unequivocal: we will not tolerate any form of modern slavery in our direct operations or in the activities of subcontractors and suppliers. This applies to every role across our firm, from drivers and on-site operatives to administrative staff supporting our Purley business waste removal operations. We have implemented clear contractual requirements and a code of conduct that mandate compliance with anti-slavery legislation and ethical labour practices.

We apply a risk-based approach to identify areas where commercial waste removal in Purley and associated services may be vulnerable. We conduct due diligence on new and existing suppliers and maintain records of our assessments. Where risks are identified, we require corrective action plans and follow up with targeted audits. Our procurement criteria include worker welfare, legal right to work checks and transparent pay practices to reduce the risk of exploitation in our service delivery.

To ensure compliance we operate a robust supplier audit programme that includes announced and unannounced visits, documentation reviews and worker interviews where appropriate. Supplier audits focus on employment records, hours of work, wage payments and health and safety standards relevant to Purley business waste removal firms. Audits are designed to verify that practices align with our policies and to support supplier improvement where gaps are found.

We provide training and awareness for our staff and key suppliers to recognise signs of modern slavery and exploitation. Training covers how to spot indicators, the legal framework, and the steps to take when concerns arise. Our teams on the ground in Purley are trained to prioritise the welfare of workers and to report any suspicious labour arrangements immediately through established channels.

We maintain clear and accessible reporting channels for employees, contractors and third parties to raise concerns anonymously if preferred. These reporting channels include an internal hotline, a dedicated email process and escalation routes to senior management. All reports are treated seriously, investigated impartially, and acted upon promptly. Retaliation against anyone raising concerns in good faith is strictly prohibited.

Our governance framework assigns responsibility for modern slavery prevention to senior leaders who review performance metrics, audit results and remediation progress. We also set measurable targets to reduce identified risks in commercial waste removal in Purley and to improve supplier compliance. Progress is monitored through quarterly reviews and reported to our board-level oversight committee.

We set out a series of actions to combat modern slavery across all areas of our business, including:

• Pre-contract screening of suppliers and subcontractors engaged in Purley waste services;
• Regular supplier audits with corrective action plans where necessary;
• Mandatory training for staff and contractor supervisors;
• Confidential reporting mechanisms and swift investigation of allegations.

This statement will be reviewed and updated annually to reflect changes in our operations, new risks and the outcomes of audits and investigations. The annual review ensures our policies remain effective and that our Purley commercial waste removal activities continue to meet ethical standards. We will continue to strengthen partnerships with suppliers to drive improved labour practices across our industry.
