Zero-Tolerance Policy and Core Principles

Our zero-tolerance policy means we will take decisive action where any instance of modern slavery is identified. This includes:

• Immediate investigation of allegations;
• Suspension or termination of contracts where appropriate;
• Support for victims and cooperation with enforcement agencies.

We are unambiguous: exploitation will not be tolerated in our business waste services or in any supplier relationships.

Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

We undertake robust due diligence before engaging suppliers and periodically thereafter. Our supplier assessment process for Addiscombe waste removal providers includes checks on employment practices, right-to-work documentation and subcontractor oversight. Supplier audits form a key part of this process and are conducted through documentation reviews, site visits and direct interviews.

Audit findings are scored and used to inform risk-based decisions. High-risk suppliers face enhanced scrutiny, mandatory corrective action plans and follow-up audits. We include contractual clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery standards and reserve the right to terminate relationships where breaches are not remedied.

As part of procurement controls for waste removal services Addiscombe, we train procurement and operations staff to recognise indicators of modern slavery and coercive labour practices. Our training materials stress the importance of reporting concerns and the steps required to escalate issues within our governance framework.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We maintain confidential and accessible reporting channels so that employees, contractors and third parties can raise concerns without fear of retaliation. Reports may be made through internal escalation routes to line managers or through designated anonymous reporting mechanisms. All reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and recorded in our compliance log.

Transparency is central to our approach. We document investigations, corrective actions and outcomes. Where remediation is required, we seek to support victims and work with relevant authorities and NGOs to ensure appropriate care and restitution. Our records inform continuous improvement of our safeguarding measures.

Monitoring, Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

We commit to an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and associated policies. The review evaluates the effectiveness of our Addiscombe business waste removal controls, audits, training and reporting processes, and updates risk assessments in light of new intelligence or operational changes. Findings are presented to senior leadership and used to refine our action plan.

In summary, our efforts to combat modern slavery in Business Waste Removal in Addiscombe focus on prevention, detection and remediation. We enforce a strict zero-tolerance stance, perform periodic supplier audits, maintain clear reporting channels and review our practices annually to ensure continued effectiveness and improvement.

We will continue to embed anti-slavery principles into all aspects of our waste removal operations, procurement and contractor management, ensuring that ethical labour standards are maintained across the supply chain for all waste removal Addiscombe activities.
