Modern Slavery Statement — Commercial Waste Removal Tottenham

Commercial Waste Removal Tottenham (the "Company") is committed to the highest standards of ethical conduct and corporate responsibility. We operate a strict zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour across all our operations and supply chains. This statement sets out our approach, measures and ongoing commitments to prevent and address any form of exploitation within Tottenham commercial waste removal activities and associated services.

Our commitment covers all staff, contractors and partners who deliver commercial waste removal in Tottenham and surrounding areas. We ensure that every member of our team understands that exploitation, *coercion* or the withholding of wages is unacceptable. Employees and contractors receive training on recognising the signs of modern slavery and the proper escalation routes within the organisation. Bold leadership and clear expectations reinforce that human rights are central to our operations.

We maintain and enforce a **zero-tolerance policy** that applies equally to our suppliers and subcontractors engaged for Tottenham commercial waste removal services. Our supplier code of conduct requires compliance with labour standards, legal working hours, fair remuneration and freedom of movement. Non-compliance can result in immediate termination of contracts. To support transparency, we publish this statement and review performance metrics annually.

To uphold standards, we carry out routine supplier due diligence and scheduled supplier audits. These supplier audits include documentary reviews, on-site inspections and interviews where appropriate, focusing on recruitment practices, payroll records and worker accommodation where applicable. Our procurement team uses risk-based criteria to prioritise audits for higher-risk suppliers and specific routes to risk mitigation for the Tottenham commercial waste removal supply chain.

We require all partners to demonstrate clear recruitment practices and to prohibit fees charged to workers by recruiters. Where concerns are identified during audits, a corrective action plan is implemented with strict timelines and follow-up assessments. Contract clauses grant us the right to terminate agreements where remediation is insufficient or where there is evidence of modern slavery.

Our approach also includes collaborative engagement with suppliers to build capacity and to promote best practice. We provide resources and training for subcontractors and site managers involved in commercial waste removal in Tottenham to strengthen their ability to identify and address risks early.

Anonymous and protected reporting channels are available to all workers, contractors and suppliers. We operate an internal whistleblowing mechanism and encourage the use of third-party confidential reporting options to ensure that potential cases of exploitation can be raised without fear of retaliation.

Reporting channels

Reports are assessed by a dedicated compliance team and escalated to senior management and, if necessary, to appropriate authorities.

Remediation and accountability

Where modern slavery risks are confirmed, we take immediate steps to protect victims, cooperate with law enforcement authorities and implement remedial actions, which may include repaying withheld wages, providing safe accommodation or terminating exploitative contracts. We record and review each case to learn and strengthen controls.

Annual review: We review this Modern Slavery Statement on an annual basis to assess effectiveness, update policies and set measurable objectives. The annual review considers audit results, training completion rates, reported incidents and changes in legislation or risk environment. Continuous improvement is central: we refine our supplier audits, enhance reporting mechanisms and expand training to ensure robust protection against modern slavery in Tottenham commercial waste removal and related activities.
