Modern Slavery Statement — Business Waste Removal Haringey

Business Waste Removal Haringey publishes this Modern Slavery Statement to confirm our firm commitment to preventing modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking across our operations and supply chains. As a provider of business waste removal in Haringey and related commercial waste removal Haringey services, we recognise our responsibility to act ethically and to ensure that vulnerable workers are protected.

We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery. This applies to all colleagues, contractors, sub-contractors and partners engaged in business waste collection, recycling and disposal services across the borough. Our expectation is clear: anyone working with or for our Haringey business waste removal teams must comply with our standards and local laws.

To give effect to this commitment we carry out targeted due diligence and supplier audits. Our supplier audit programme examines recruitment practices, working hours, pay, identity checks and accommodation where relevant. The supplier assurance process includes:

• Contract clauses that require compliance with anti-slavery requirements;
• Periodic supplier audits and site visits;
• Corrective action plans when concerns are identified.

Our policy covers all aspects of our operations from vehicle maintenance to depot activities and office functions. The policy applies to direct employees and to third parties engaged in commercial waste removal Haringey contracts. Senior management have clear oversight and are accountable for implementing controls and for embedding human rights awareness across the organisation.

We provide regular training to staff and managers so they can identify signs of exploitation, apply escalation procedures and support any affected individual. Training modules are refreshed annually and include scenario-based learning for frontline teams operating in the waste removal sector in Haringey.

We maintain a confidential reporting framework and multiple reporting channels so concerns can be raised safely and without fear of retaliation. Reports may be made through internal channels and escalated to relevant authorities where required. All allegations of modern slavery are taken seriously and will prompt prompt investigation.

We operate clear reporting channels and whistleblowing protections: employees and third parties are encouraged to raise concerns through internal lines, line managers, or designated compliance contacts. Reports are handled sensitively and investigated by a cross-functional team. Where exploitation is identified we will take immediate steps to protect any victims and to remediate issues.

Our supplier audit schedule is risk-based. High-risk suppliers are audited more frequently and we use a combination of on-site inspections, document reviews and remote checks to verify compliance. We expect suppliers to demonstrate robust recruitment checks, fair pay practices and safe working conditions. Failure to meet standards can result in corrective action, suspension or termination of contracts with suppliers who do not improve.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective and aligned with evolving best practice. The annual review evaluates audit outcomes, training uptake, incident reports and stakeholder feedback to strengthen controls. We will update our policies and procedures where necessary, and continue to report progress transparently within our governance framework.
