Modern Slavery Statement for Business Waste Removal Pimlico

Business Waste Removal Pimlico is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations. We operate a strict zero-tolerance policy toward any form of forced labour, coercion or exploitation across our residential, commercial and industrial waste services. This statement sets out our approach to assessing and managing the risks of modern slavery within our organisation and our supply chain, and reflects our dedication to ethical waste management across Pimlico and the surrounding areas.

Scope and Commitment

Our commitment covers all staff, contractors and partners engaged in commercial waste collection Pimlico and related activities. We require that everyone who works with us understands that modern slavery is unacceptable and that breaches will be treated as serious misconduct. We communicate expectations clearly in recruitment, contracts and supplier agreements, and we ensure our procurement processes embed human rights considerations into decision-making.

We acknowledge that risks can arise not only within our direct operations but also in the extended supply chain for business waste removal in Pimlico, including subcontractors, temporary labour and material processors. To address this, we have introduced due diligence procedures to identify, prevent and mitigate potential risks. These measures are proportionate to the level of risk and the size of the supplier relationship, and they are designed to be transparent, measurable and enforceable.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

We conduct regular supplier audits and assessments to verify compliance with our anti-slavery standards. Audits include documentation reviews, on-site inspections where necessary, and verification of worker rights and working conditions. Our procurement team evaluates suppliers using a combination of risk-based questionnaires and periodic performance checks to ensure continued adherence to our policies.

Supplier audits for Pimlico business waste services prioritise high-risk categories such as subcontractors handling collection, transfer and recycling operations. Where issues are identified, we require corrective action plans and follow-up assessments. Persistent non-compliance leads to formal remediation or termination of the contract. We also provide guidance and training to partners to help them meet our expectations and to encourage continuous improvement across the sector.

Reporting channels are essential to our approach. We maintain multiple secure and confidential routes for concerns to be raised, including anonymous reporting options. Key reporting mechanisms include:

• Internal whistleblowing channels for employees and contractors;
• Supplier reporting lines for partners to declare issues or seek guidance;
• Third-party hotlines where anonymity is required and protection is paramount.

All reports are taken seriously and investigated promptly by trained staff. We commit to protecting whistleblowers from retaliation and to offering support where exploitation is suspected. Investigations follow a clear escalation process that may include collaboration with law enforcement or specialist agencies if criminal conduct is suspected.

Training and awareness-raising form a key part of our prevention strategy. We deliver regular training for employees and procurement teams to spot signs of modern slavery and to understand their responsibilities. We also integrate modern slavery risk assessment into tender evaluations for commercial waste Pimlico contracts and into supplier onboarding processes.

Finally, we operate an annual review cycle to evaluate the effectiveness of our policies and processes. Each year we publish an internal assessment of progress, update risk registers and refine audit priorities. This annual review ensures our response to modern slavery remains robust and aligned with best practice. By maintaining strong governance, proactive supplier audits, secure reporting channels and a clear zero-tolerance stance, Business Waste Removal Pimlico reaffirms its commitment to ethical, safe and transparent waste management.
