Modern Slavery Statement — Business Waste Removal Wanstead
Business Waste Removal Wanstead is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms within our operations and supply chain. This statement sets out our zero-tolerance approach to forced labour, bonded labour, child exploitation and human trafficking. As a provider of commercial waste removal in Wanstead and surrounding areas, we recognise our responsibility to ensure that workers supporting our services are treated fairly and ethically.Scope and Commitment
Our policy applies to all employees, contractors and third party suppliers engaged by Wanstead business waste removal services. We have a clear and public position: we will not tolerate modern slavery under any circumstances. We require every partner in our network to adhere to the same standards and to cooperate fully with our efforts to detect and prevent exploitation.
Policy Principles
We commit to the continuous review and enforcement of anti-slavery measures across our commercial waste removal Wanstead operations. Our principles include transparency, accountability and proactive risk management. We will take decisive action if evidence of modern slavery is identified, including termination of contracts and referral to appropriate authorities. Everyone working with or for us must understand that exploitation is unacceptable.Supplier Audits and Due Diligence
To ensure compliance we conduct supplier audits and a structured due diligence process. Suppliers to our Wanstead commercial waste removal activities are assessed during onboarding and periodically thereafter. Our audits examine recruitment practices, labour conditions, documentation and subcontractor arrangements. We include contractual clauses that require suppliers to maintain standards consistent with our anti-slavery policy.
Our supplier review process uses a risk-based approach. High-risk suppliers receive targeted audits, which may include site visits, document checks and worker interviews. We maintain a checklist and scoring system to prioritise audits. Key elements include:
- Verification of identity and right to work
- Assessment of recruitment fees and third-party recruiters
- Transparency of pay, hours and working conditions
Reporting Channels
We encourage reporting of concerns through multiple safe channels. Employees, contractors and third parties who witness or suspect modern slavery linked to business waste removal in Wanstead can use internal reporting lines, anonymous hotlines or raise issues with appointed compliance officers. All reports are taken seriously, assessed promptly, and investigated confidentially. We protect whistleblowers from retaliation and ensure that reports trigger appropriate remedial action.Training, Monitoring and Remediation
Training is provided to staff and managers involved in procurement and operations for Wanstead business waste removal to help them recognise signs of exploitation. Monitoring includes periodic reviews, supplier performance metrics and following up on audit findings. Where breaches are identified, we require suppliers to implement corrective action plans and we reserve the right to terminate relationships if improvements are not made.
Continuous Improvement and Collaboration
We work collaboratively with industry peers, regulatory bodies and community organisations to strengthen anti-slavery practices across the commercial waste sector in Wanstead. Our approach emphasises continuous improvement: learning from audits, updating contractual terms and enhancing training content. We also integrate lessons learned into procurement decisions to favour ethical suppliers.
Annual Review and Publication
We commit to an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and associated policies. Each year we will evaluate the effectiveness of our actions, publish findings internally, and update our approach to ensure it remains robust and relevant to the evolving risks in business waste removal Wanstead operations. This statement is endorsed by senior management and will be reviewed at least once every 12 months to reflect changes in law, supply chain structure or operational practice. Together, through rigorous audits, clear reporting channels and an unwavering zero-tolerance stance, we aim to eradicate modern slavery from our business and from the wider Wanstead commercial waste removal network.
