Business Waste Removal Eltham is committed to ethical conduct and human rights.

Modern Slavery Statement — Business Waste Removal Eltham

This statement sets out the steps taken by our Eltham commercial waste removal team to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery is a serious violation of human rights and adopt a zero-tolerance approach to any form of forced labour, servitude, or exploitation in the delivery of waste removal for businesses in Eltham and surrounding areas.

Our zero-tolerance policy applies across all our services, including commercial waste collection, recycling, and disposal. All employees, contractors and partners are made aware that any involvement with human trafficking, bonded labour or exploitative labour is grounds for immediate disciplinary action and contract termination. We emphasise that Eltham business waste removal must be conducted ethically and in compliance with all applicable human rights and employment laws.

We have implemented due diligence procedures to identify and mitigate risks of modern slavery within our operations and those of our suppliers. This includes risk-based supplier assessments, background checks where appropriate, and contractual clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery laws. Our procurement teams and operational managers receive training to spot signs of exploitation and to escalate concerns promptly.

Supplier Audits and Risk Management

Supplier oversight is a core part of our approach to commercial waste removal in Eltham. We maintain a structured audit programme that combines desktop reviews with on-site inspections for higher-risk suppliers. Audit activities evaluate employment practices, working conditions, and the integrity of subcontracting arrangements to ensure there is no use of forced labour. Findings from supplier audits are recorded and followed up with corrective action plans where necessary.

We apply a risk-based methodology to our supplier audits, including:

• Assessment of country and sector-level risk factors for suppliers involved in waste handling and recycling.
• Verification of worker identity and lawful employment where applicable.
• Review of subcontracting chains to prevent covert exploitation within logistics or recycling partners.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We provide secure and confidential reporting channels for employees, contractors and third parties to raise concerns related to modern slavery in relation to waste removal services in Eltham. Reports can be made anonymously where desired, and every report is treated seriously, investigated thoroughly and escalated to senior management when warranted. We ensure whistleblowers are protected from retaliation and that investigations are fair and timely.

Our internal reporting process is supported by clear procedures: incidents are logged, assessed for severity, and assigned to responsible investigators. Where allegations are substantiated, we require remediation, which may include terminating supplier relationships, referral to law enforcement, or providing support to affected individuals. We strongly encourage all partners in the Eltham commercial waste sector to report suspected abuse.

We also maintain regular communication with our workforce about their rights and the importance of reporting concerns, using training sessions, site briefings and written policies. Employee awareness is a vital part of preventing modern slavery within the waste removal industry.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement: we commit to reviewing this statement and our practices at least once a year. The annual review examines the effectiveness of our due diligence, audit outcomes, remediation measures and training programmes. Findings inform policy updates, enhanced supplier requirements and improved monitoring techniques to reduce the risk of exploitation in all aspects of Eltham business waste removal.

We will continue to strengthen collaboration with suppliers, local stakeholders and sector partners to share best practices and promote transparency in the commercial waste removal supply chain. Our goal is to ensure that business waste removal in Eltham remains free from modern slavery, and that workers are treated with dignity and respect.

By maintaining rigorous supplier audits, secure reporting channels, a clear zero-tolerance stance and an annual review cycle, Business Waste Removal Eltham reaffirms its commitment to human rights and ethical operations across every service we provide.
