Modern Slavery Statement — Business Waste Removal Barbican

Business Waste Removal Barbican is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all parts of our operations. This statement outlines our policies, expectations and actions to ensure that our Barbican business waste removal activities are conducted ethically and transparently. We recognise that as a provider of commercial and residential waste removal in Barbican, we have a responsibility to maintain high standards across our workforce and supply chain.

We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, bonded labour, child exploitation or human trafficking. This zero-tolerance approach is embedded in our company values and is enforced through contractual obligations and routine compliance checks. All employees and contract partners are expected to adhere to our standards and to report any concerns immediately through the established channels.

To support these commitments, our approach to preventing modern slavery across waste removal Barbican services includes robust due diligence and supplier audits. We conduct risk-based assessments of suppliers and sub-contractors that service the Barbican area and beyond. Key measures include:

• Pre-contract screening and risk assessment of prospective suppliers providing business waste removal in Barbican.
• Contract clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery laws and our code of conduct.
• Periodic on-site and remote supplier audits to verify employment practices and worker welfare.

Our Policy and Expectations

We require all suppliers engaged in Barbican business waste removal to demonstrate transparent labour practices. Our supplier onboarding process includes verification of employment contracts, wage compliance, identity checks and working hours. We expect that all service partners will prohibit any form of exploitation and will provide safe, legal and fairly remunerated working conditions.

Our staff receive regular training to identify signs of modern slavery and to understand their role in prevention. Training covers recognising indicators, appropriate escalation routes, and responsibilities under our procurement and operational policies. This training applies to drivers, collection teams, office staff and contract managers involved in commercial waste collection and hazardous waste handling.

We engage with local stakeholders and industry bodies to remain informed of evolving risks and best practices related to human trafficking and forced labour. Collaboration with peer organisations in the waste management sector ensures that our waste removal services in Barbican reflect up-to-date standards for ethical sourcing and worker protections.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We maintain clear and confidential reporting channels for employees, contractors and third parties to raise concerns. Reports can be made anonymously and will be investigated promptly and thoroughly. Our reporting framework is designed to protect whistleblowers from retaliation and to ensure that allegations are handled with sensitivity and legal compliance.

As part of our remediation process for any substantiated finding, we will take proportionate action which may include contract termination, remedial support for affected workers and cooperation with relevant enforcement authorities. All incidents and outcomes are recorded to inform continuous improvement of our safeguards for business waste removal Barbican operations.

Supplier audits form a central pillar of our safeguard work. Audits combine document reviews, worker interviews and site inspections. Findings lead to corrective action plans, time-bound improvements and, where necessary, removal of non-compliant suppliers from our supply chain. We prioritise working with partners committed to ethical employment across commercial and residential waste removal services in the Barbican area.

We have established key performance indicators to measure the effectiveness of our policies and controls. Metrics include the number of supplier audits completed, incidents reported and resolved, training completion rates and corrective actions implemented. These KPIs help us to monitor progress and direct resources to areas of higher risk.

Finally, this statement and our anti-slavery programme are subject to an annual review. Each year senior management reviews policy outcomes, audit results and stakeholder feedback to assess the adequacy of our measures and to set improvement targets. The annual review ensures that our approach to preventing modern slavery remains rigorous and responsive to changing risk profiles within the waste management sector.

Through enforcement of a strict zero-tolerance policy, systematic supplier audits, accessible reporting channels and a commitment to annual review, Business Waste Removal Barbican affirms its dedication to eliminating modern slavery from our operations and supply chain. We will continue to strengthen our controls and to work collaboratively with partners to uphold human rights across all our waste removal services.
