Modern Slavery Statement for Commercial Waste Stockwell

Commercial Waste Stockwell (also referred to as Stockwell commercial waste and commercial waste in Stockwell) is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations and supply chain. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our zero-tolerance approach, the steps we take to identify and address risks, and how we ensure accountability across the business.

Our zero-tolerance policy is clear: we will not knowingly engage with suppliers or contractors who exploit workers, use forced labour, or facilitate human trafficking. The board and senior management maintain oversight of this policy, and it is communicated to all employees, partners, and third parties involved in our commercial waste services in Stockwell. We require compliance with our standards as a condition of doing business and make expectations explicit in contractual terms.

To deliver on this commitment we carry out robust supplier audits and due diligence across our procurement processes. Key measures include:

• Risk-based supplier assessments prior to engagement and during contract renewal;
• On-site and remote audits conducted by our compliance team or approved third parties;
• Verification of payroll, working hours, and recruitment practices where risk indicators arise;
• Contractual clauses that require adherence to anti-slavery standards and allow for termination on breach.

We maintain a structured approach to identifying modern slavery risks in the Stockwell supply chain for commercial waste management. This includes mapping key suppliers, assessing geographic and sector-specific vulnerabilities, and allocating resources to higher-risk areas. Our procurement and operations teams receive training to recognise indicators of exploitation and to escalate concerns promptly.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We provide multiple, secure reporting channels to ensure concerns about modern slavery can be raised safely and confidentially. Employees, contractors, and third parties can use internal reporting lines or escalate issues through designated managers. We encourage the use of anonymous reporting where needed and guarantee protection from retaliation. Reports are taken seriously, investigated by trained personnel, and documented.

Our reporting and remediation process is designed to be practical and victim-centred. Where a potential case is identified we will:

• Assess the immediate safety needs of affected individuals;
• Engage with law enforcement and specialist support organisations where appropriate;
• Take contractual and legal steps against suppliers who fail to meet our standards;
• Implement corrective action plans and monitor their effectiveness.

Governance, Monitoring and Annual Review

Senior leadership at Commercial Waste Stockwell holds responsibility for the oversight of anti-slavery measures and for ensuring that our commercial waste operations in Stockwell adhere to this statement. We publish this statement annually and perform an internal review each year to evaluate policy effectiveness, audit outcomes, and any remediation carried out. The review process includes:
performance indicators, audit summaries, and updates to due diligence procedures.

Implementation and monitoring of our anti-slavery commitments involve regular supplier re-assessments, targeted audits, and the continuous improvement of contractual protections. Training programmes are refreshed annually and tailored to roles with procurement and operational responsibilities. We maintain a record of actions taken in response to any findings and use lessons learned to strengthen controls and reduce risk across the waste management supply chain.

Commitment and Continuous Improvement: Commercial Waste Stockwell remains resolute in its duty to prevent modern slavery in every form. We will continue to evolve our approach, collaborate with industry partners, and apply best practice in governance, supplier auditing, and reporting. This statement represents our ongoing pledge to protect workers, uphold human rights, and ensure ethical practices throughout our Stockwell commercial waste services. The policies described here will be reviewed at least annually and updated as required to reflect legislative changes, operational developments, and enhanced risk understanding.
