Modern Slavery Statement — Rubbish Waste Removal Commitment

Rubbish Waste Removal is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations. This statement applies to our rubbish removal and waste removal services and outlines the measures we take to ensure that forced labour, child labour and exploitation have no place in our business or supply chain. Our core stance is a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery.

We operate across multiple locations offering comprehensive rubbish clearance and waste management solutions. We recognise that the nature of waste handling and labour in adjacent industries can expose workers to risk, so we maintain strict policies and procedures. These standards are communicated to all staff and contractors and integrated into our procurement and operational practices.

This modern slavery statement describes the steps we take to identify, prevent and respond to risks. It explains our approach to supplier management, staff training, reporting channels and remediation. We also list our commitments to regular audits and the continuous improvement of our rubbish removal supply chain oversight.

Our

Zero-Tolerance Policy

is clear: any evidence of forced labour, human trafficking or exploitation will result in immediate action. We will suspend or terminate relationships with suppliers or contractors found to be non-compliant. We require all partners to adhere to our code of conduct and contractual provisions that prohibit modern slavery. Internally, employees are encouraged to raise concerns without fear of retaliation.

To ensure compliance we conduct systematic

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

. Audits are risk-based and include document review, site visits and interviews with workers. Key audit focus areas include:

• Verification of worker identity and lawful right to work
• Assessment of wages, working hours and contract terms
• Review of recruitment practices to detect fee-charging agents
• Health, safety and welfare provisions for waste collection teams

We apply enhanced due diligence for suppliers in high-risk jurisdictions or for services involving manual labour, such as manual rubbish collection, skip hire and demolition waste removal. Findings from audits are documented and, where issues are identified, corrective action plans with clear timelines are mandated. Repeat or severe breaches result in contract termination and, where appropriate, referral to authorities.

Reporting channels are an essential part of our response framework. Employees, contractors and third parties can report concerns through multiple internal channels that guarantee confidentiality. Reports can be raised anonymously and are investigated promptly by our compliance team. Whistleblowing protections are in place to protect anyone who reports in good faith.

Our remediation approach prioritises the safety and welfare of affected individuals and seeks to address root causes. Where modern slavery indicators are confirmed, we will provide or facilitate access to support services, cooperate with law enforcement and implement stronger controls to prevent recurrence across our waste removal operations.

Training and awareness form a key part of our preventive measures. Staff and relevant contractors receive regular training on recognising signs of exploitation in rubbish clearance and waste management settings, and on how to use reporting channels. Training materials include real-world scenarios and clear escalation pathways to ensure timely action.

We maintain procurement rules that require suppliers to provide evidence of labour standards compliance and to accept unannounced audits. Contract clauses include the right to audit, remediation requirements and termination for non-compliance. We also encourage suppliers to adopt their own anti-slavery measures and share best practices across the sector.

We conduct an annual review of this modern slavery statement and our practices. The review assesses risk profiles, audit outcomes, training effectiveness and the adequacy of reporting channels. Results inform updates to policy, increased oversight where needed and resource allocation to further reduce the risk of modern slavery in our rubbish and waste removal networks.

In summary, our commitment to ethical rubbish removal and waste disposal is underpinned by a zero-tolerance policy, robust supplier audits, accessible reporting channels, and a formal annual review process. These measures work together to deter, detect and respond to modern slavery risks.

We will continue to strengthen our approach, collaborate with stakeholders and ensure that our operations and supply chains reflect our values. By embedding these principles into procurement, contracts, training and audits, Rubbish Waste Removal aims to be a leader in responsible waste management practices.
