Bethnal Green Skip Hire - Modern Slavery Statement

Bethnal Green Skip Hire publishes this Modern Slavery Statement to set out our position and actions to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking across our operations and supply chains. We are committed to a zero-tolerance policy on all forms of forced labour, exploitation and human trafficking. This statement covers our policies, risk-based due diligence, supplier expectations and the practical measures we take to ensure that our waste management and skip hire activities uphold human rights.

We recognise that a robust modern slavery policy requires clear governance. Our Board and senior management take responsibility for embedding anti-slavery measures into our culture and operational decision-making. Bethnal Green skip hire requires all employees and contractors to familiarise themselves with our code of conduct and the obligations to report any concerns.

Our approach to eliminating slavery and forced labour is founded on prevention, detection and remediation. We operate a risk-based framework that identifies high-risk activities, audits suppliers, and mandates contractual safeguards. The Modern Slavery Statement for Bethnal Green Skip Hire details expectations that our suppliers comply with applicable labour laws, provide fair pay, safe working conditions and prohibit child labour and coercion.

Zero-Tolerance Policy and Expectations

We maintain a clear zero tolerance stance: any evidence of modern slavery, trafficking, or exploitation will result in immediate action up to and including termination of contracts and referral to the appropriate authorities. Our procurement and contracting templates include clauses that require suppliers to demonstrate compliance with our anti-slavery standards and permit rights to audit relevant records and practices.

Supplier due diligence is focused on identification and mitigation of slavery risks. We conduct background checks, assess recruitment practices, and insist on transparent labour supply chains. Where risk is higher, we perform enhanced supplier audits and request corrective action plans. Our supplier audits evaluate payroll, working hours, subcontracting, and the use of labour suppliers to ensure there is no evidence of bonded labour or abuse.

To support these reviews we maintain a set of practical mitigations, including training for procurement teams and site managers, supplier questionnaires and periodic on-site inspections. The following measures are used as part of our control environment:

• Contract clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery legislation;
• Mandatory supplier attestations and documentary checks;
• Periodic supplier audits and risk-based site visits;

Reporting Channels, Remediation and Annual Review

We provide secure and confidential reporting channels for employees, contractors, and third parties to raise concerns about suspected modern slavery. Reports are managed by our designated compliance lead and escalated where necessary. We guarantee that whistleblowers will not face retaliation and that each report is investigated promptly and impartially. Our reporting channels include anonymous options and internal escalation procedures to ensure issues are handled sensitively and effectively.

When a breach is identified, Bethnal Green Skip Hire takes proportionate remedial action. This may include supplier remediation plans, contract termination, engagement with law enforcement, and support for affected individuals. We keep records of investigations and corrective actions and monitor outcomes to prevent recurrence. We also review recruitment partners and change procurement approaches where systemic issues are found.

This modern slavery and human trafficking statement is reviewed on an annual basis to ensure ongoing effectiveness. The annual review examines the results of supplier audits, training completion rates, the nature and resolution of reported incidents, and evolving risk factors in our operations and supply base. Findings are reported to senior management, and necessary updates to policy, processes or resourcing are implemented. Regular review ensures that our anti-slavery commitments remain current and that Bethnal Green Skip Hire continues to take practical steps to eradicate modern slavery from our business and supply chains.
