Modern Slavery Statement for Business Waste Removal Kenton

Business Waste Removal Kenton is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations. This statement outlines our approach to identifying risks, enforcing a zero-tolerance policy, and ensuring that everyone engaged in Kenton commercial waste removal works under lawful and fair conditions. We recognise our responsibility across direct labour, contractors and our supply chain, and we set out clear expectations for suppliers and partners.

Our zero-tolerance policy is absolute: any form of forced labour, coercion, debt bondage or human trafficking will not be tolerated within our operations or by those who supply services to us. Employees and managers receive mandatory training on indicators of exploitation and the reporting process. Kenton business waste removal teams are instructed to escalate concerns immediately and managers have a duty to investigate allegations without delay.

We apply these principles to procurement, fleet services, on-site operatives and subcontractors involved in waste collection, recycling and disposal. Our standards are embedded in contracts for waste removal in Kenton and include clauses that require compliance with modern slavery legislation, rights to audit, and immediate termination for breaches. Risk assessments are performed for high-risk activities and geographies to ensure proportionate action where vulnerabilities are identified.

Policies, Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

We maintain a structured due diligence process for suppliers and partners engaged in Kenton commercial waste removal. This includes pre-engagement checks, contractual assurances, and ongoing performance monitoring. Key elements include:

• Verification of employment practices and identity checks for direct hires;
• Contractual modern slavery obligations and audit rights;
• Targeted supplier assessments for high-risk categories such as third-party haulage and recycling facilities.

Our supplier audits combine documentation review, remote questionnaires and on-site visits when necessary. Where audits identify non-compliance, we require corrective action plans, impose remediation timelines and reserve the right to suspend or terminate contracts. We prioritise collaboration with suppliers that demonstrate continuous improvement and transparency in labour standards.

To support responsible procurement we also offer training for procurement teams and supplier workshops that focus on recognising signs of exploitation and meeting our compliance standards. These measures reduce the risk of modern slavery within the broader value chain for business waste removal operations in Kenton.

Reporting Channels, Remediation and Annual Review

We operate multiple reporting channels to ensure concerns about exploitation or slavery can be raised confidentially and without fear of retaliation. Staff, contractors and third parties can report matters through anonymised internal mechanisms, designated escalation routes and via company ethics processes. Reports are investigated by a multidisciplinary team with access to legal and HR support.

When an allegation is substantiated we implement proportionate remediation measures that prioritise victim support, fair resolution for affected workers and appropriate disciplinary action against responsible parties. Remediation can include repatriation support, medical assistance, compensation where due, and termination of relationships with culpable suppliers. We document each case to inform systemic improvements.

This modern slavery statement is reviewed annually to assess effectiveness, update risk assessments and revise our actions. The review considers audit outcomes, reported incidents, supplier performance and evolving legal requirements. Our leadership team receives regular reports and is accountable for continuous improvement across all aspects of Kenton waste removal and commercial refuse management. We remain resolute: protecting human rights and eliminating modern slavery is a core part of our values and operational practice.
