Rubbish Clearance Shepherd's Bush is committed to conducting all aspects of its business ethically and with integrity. We recognise our responsibility to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. This statement sets out the steps we are taking to identify, prevent, and address risks of modern slavery associated with our rubbish clearance and waste management services.
Modern slavery is a severe violation of fundamental human rights and includes slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, child labour, and human trafficking. We are committed to acting transparently and to continually improving our practices to ensure that modern slavery has no place in our business.
We operate a clear zero-tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. This applies to every aspect of our business, from direct employment to procurement and the engagement of contractors, temporary workers, and service providers.
All managers and supervisors are required to uphold this policy and ensure that their teams understand and comply with it. We expect everyone who works for us, or on our behalf, to share our commitment and to report any concerns without delay.
We will not knowingly do business with any organisation that is involved in, or complicit with, modern slavery practices. Where modern slavery risks are identified or suspected, we will take prompt and decisive action, which may include terminating contracts, reporting concerns to the relevant authorities, and cooperating fully with any investigations.
Our supply chain includes waste handling partners, recycling facilities, equipment and vehicle providers, personal protective equipment suppliers, and labour agencies. We recognise that modern slavery risks can arise at any point in these relationships, particularly in lower tiers of the supply chain.
To address these risks, we are strengthening our supplier due diligence and audit processes. Core measures include:
Requiring suppliers to confirm compliance with applicable labour, human rights, and anti-slavery legislation as a condition of doing business with us.
Conducting risk-based supplier assessments, prioritising higher-risk categories such as labour agencies and suppliers operating in sectors or locations where labour exploitation is more prevalent.
Carrying out periodic audits of selected suppliers, which may involve site visits, document reviews, and interviews, to verify working conditions, recruitment practices, and worker documentation.
Reserving the right to suspend or terminate relationships with suppliers that fail to meet our anti-slavery expectations or that do not cooperate with reasonable audit requests.
We actively encourage the reporting of any suspicion or evidence of modern slavery connected with our activities. Concerns may be raised by employees, contractors, agency staff, suppliers, or members of the public.
Reports can be made directly to line managers, senior management, or through our designated reporting channels, which include email and telephone reporting routes communicated internally and to key suppliers. Reports can be made in confidence, and we will take all reasonable steps to protect individuals who raise concerns in good faith from retaliation or detrimental treatment.
Every report of suspected modern slavery will be taken seriously, assessed promptly, and, where appropriate, investigated. Where necessary, issues will be escalated to relevant authorities. Outcomes and learning from investigations will be used to strengthen our controls and training.
We are developing targeted training and guidance for staff involved in procurement, recruitment, and contract management, as well as for on-site operational teams who may be in a position to observe signs of labour exploitation. This training focuses on recognising indicators of modern slavery, understanding our reporting channels, and applying our zero-tolerance policy in day-to-day decision-making.
We will continue to raise awareness of modern slavery risks and our expectations through internal communications, induction materials, and supplier communications.
Responsibility for overseeing our approach to modern slavery rests with senior management, who review identified risks, reported concerns, audit outcomes, and improvement actions. We monitor the effectiveness of our measures through feedback from workers and suppliers, audit findings, and the number and nature of concerns raised.
This Modern Slavery Statement will be reviewed at least annually to ensure it remains current, effective, and aligned with legal requirements and best practice. As part of the annual review, we will evaluate our risk assessments, supplier controls, training, and reporting processes, and introduce enhancements where necessary.
This statement reflects the position and commitment of Rubbish Clearance Shepherd's Bush as of the date of publication and applies to all operations carried out under our name.
