Business Waste Removal Hoxton Modern Slavery Statement

Business Waste Removal Hoxton is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our operations. We operate a clear zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, child labour, or exploitative working conditions. This statement sets out our approach to identifying, assessing and addressing modern slavery risks across our commercial waste removal Hoxton activities, supply chains and service delivery.

We recognise that waste removal services Hoxton involves multiple tiers of suppliers and subcontractors. Our procurement and operations teams apply robust due diligence to reduce risk. We expect every partner, supplier and contractor to share our ethical standards and to comply with applicable labour and human rights laws. All new suppliers undergo screening and existing suppliers are subject to ongoing review.

Zero-tolerance policy: Our zero-tolerance stance is embedded in company policy documents and contracts. We require explicit commitments that workers are hired freely, paid fairly and treated with dignity. Any breach of these commitments will result in immediate remediation actions and may include termination of contracts with Hoxton waste removal contractor partners. We will not tolerate retaliation against whistleblowers or employees who report concerns in good faith.

To implement our policy we perform supplier audits and monitoring across the supply chain. Supplier audits are risk-based and focus on high-risk suppliers, seasonal labour providers and subcontractors involved in manual handling, transport and recycling operations. Audits include documentation checks, on-site inspections and interviews with workers where appropriate.

Our audit programme includes the following elements:

• Initial screening: verification of business legitimacy and employment practices.
• Periodic assessments: scheduled and unscheduled audits for high-risk partners.
• Corrective action follow-up: mandatory remediation plans and timelines.

We maintain clear contractual clauses with suppliers and incorporate anti-slavery obligations into service agreements for Hoxton business waste removal. These clauses require suppliers to maintain records and permit audits. Failure to comply triggers escalations, mandatory corrective action and, where necessary, contract termination to protect vulnerable workers and our ethical standards.

Our reporting channels are designed to be accessible and confidential.

Reporting channels

Staff, contractors and third parties can report suspected modern slavery via internal hotlines, designated email reporting (managed confidentially), or direct reporting to senior management. Reports are investigated promptly, and we ensure protections for those who raise concerns.

We train staff and supervisors to recognise signs of exploitation, such as restricted movement, withheld wages or evident coercion. Training is provided to all operational teams and tailored for those involved in procurement, fleet management and on-site operations. This proactive training helps our teams identify red flags and escalate issues through our reporting channels.

In governing these efforts, our board reviews modern slavery risks as part of broader environmental, social and governance oversight.

Annual review and continuous improvement

We conduct an annual review of our modern slavery programme, evaluating policy effectiveness, audit outcomes, and corrective actions. The results inform improvements to policies, supplier selection and training curricula for Hoxton waste removal services.

We publish this statement to reaffirm our commitment to combatting modern slavery in all forms. Our ongoing actions include strengthening supplier due diligence, expanding audit coverage, enhancing reporting accessibility and refining remediation pathways. We collaborate with industry peers and local stakeholders to raise standards across the sector, ensuring that commercial waste removal in Hoxton operates ethically and transparently.
