Modern Slavery Statement for Business Waste Removal Chessington

Business Waste Removal Chessington operates with a clear and unwavering commitment to eradicating modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking from our operations and supply chains. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of exploitation, and this statement sets out the measures we take to ensure that our commercial waste removal Chessington activities meet the highest ethical standards. Our commitment covers every level of the organisation, from management to frontline teams delivering waste removal services in Chessington.

We recognise that risks of modern slavery can emerge in many forms across the waste sector, including in service contracts, subcontracting arrangements and supply chains for equipment and vehicles. In our role as a provider of business waste removal in Chessington and surrounding areas, we emphasise transparency and accountability in procurement and workforce management. We require that workers engaged directly or indirectly are treated fairly and can work freely without coercion.

Zero-Tolerance Policy and Responsibility

Our zero-tolerance policy is embedded in internal codes of conduct and procurement terms. All staff, including senior management and the board, are responsible for enforcing the policy within our local commercial waste removal Chessington operations. We insist that our suppliers, subcontractors and partners adhere to the same ethical standards and that any breaches are treated with the utmost seriousness.

We have implemented due diligence processes and supplier audits to monitor compliance throughout our waste collection and disposal networks. Supplier audits examine labour practices, payment of wages, working hours and recruitment processes. For our Chessington business waste removal contracts we prioritise partners who can demonstrate robust labour rights policies and a history of ethical conduct.

Supplier Audits and Supply Chain Checks

Our supplier assessment framework includes risk-based audits, documentary reviews and site visits where necessary. We use a tiered approach to inspections: high-risk suppliers receive more frequent and detailed audits. The supplier checks are designed to identify indicators of modern slavery and to verify remedial action where issues are found. We also require contractual warranties from suppliers to confirm their compliance with anti-slavery laws.

We regularly review procurement procedures to ensure that subcontracting and third-party hiring do not create vulnerabilities. As a provider of waste removal services Chessington trusts, we extend training to procurement staff and site managers so they can spot signs of exploitation and respond appropriately.

Our reporting channels are designed to be accessible, confidential and effective. Any worker, contractor or member of the public who suspects modern slavery in our business waste collection Chessington operations can report concerns through established internal channels. We also provide anonymous reporting options and guarantee there will be no retaliation for individuals who raise legitimate concerns in good faith.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We maintain multiple reporting routes, including formal whistleblowing mechanisms and internal hotlines. Reports are investigated promptly by senior compliance personnel, and appropriate remedial action is taken where breaches are confirmed. Our process ensures protection for whistleblowers and timely communication of outcomes to relevant stakeholders.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement We commit to an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and our anti-slavery measures. The review evaluates the effectiveness of supplier audits, training programmes, reporting mechanisms and contractual safeguards across our commercial waste removal Chessington services. Findings from the review inform policy updates and further risk mitigation. We will continue to evolve our approach, strengthen partnerships and promote ethical practices across the industry. Key elements of our ongoing programme include:

• Regular supplier re-assessments and targeted audits;
• Mandatory training for staff and contractors on recognising and reporting exploitation;
• Contractual clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery standards;
• Clear escalation pathways for urgent concerns.
