Modern Slavery Commitment at Rubbish Clearance West Hampstead

Rubbish Clearance West Hampstead is committed to conducting all aspects of its waste removal and clearance operations with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. We recognise that modern slavery, including forced labour, human trafficking, debt bondage, and child labour, remains a global issue that can affect supply chains in any sector. This statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our own operations and throughout our supply chain.

Our Zero-Tolerance Approach

We operate a clear zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. This policy applies to all employees, agency workers, contractors, suppliers, and any other partners involved in providing goods or services to Rubbish Clearance West Hampstead. We will not knowingly engage with any organisation that is involved in, or benefits from, any form of modern slavery.

All members of our management team are responsible for ensuring that this commitment is communicated and upheld throughout the business. Where we identify a risk or an instance of non-compliance, we will act swiftly, which may include suspending or terminating relationships and, where appropriate, reporting concerns to the relevant authorities.

Our Business and Supply Chain

Rubbish Clearance West Hampstead provides rubbish removal, house clearance, and related waste management services within West Hampstead and surrounding areas. Our supply chain includes providers of vehicles, equipment, uniforms, waste transfer and recycling facilities, and other support services necessary for our operations.

We recognise that risks can arise at various stages, particularly where labour-intensive services or low-cost goods are involved. We actively seek to work with reputable partners who share our values, and we expect them to operate in compliance with all applicable labour, employment, and human rights laws.

Supplier Standards and Audits

We require our key suppliers and contractors to confirm that they do not engage in or support modern slavery or human trafficking. We communicate our zero-tolerance stance and expect suppliers to maintain appropriate policies, training, and due diligence processes.

Rubbish Clearance West Hampstead conducts proportionate supplier assessments and audits, which may involve reviewing company policies, requesting supporting documentation, and discussing working practices. Where we identify higher-risk areas, we may carry out more detailed checks or require written assurances and corrective actions. Failure to meet our standards may result in suspension or termination of the business relationship.

Training, Awareness, and Reporting Channels

We are committed to raising awareness of modern slavery among our staff. Relevant personnel receive guidance on recognising potential indicators of exploitation, such as signs of coercion, restricted movement, or unusual employment arrangements. This helps ensure that concerns can be identified early and addressed appropriately.

Rubbish Clearance West Hampstead encourages all employees, contractors, and suppliers to speak up if they suspect any form of modern slavery in our operations or supply chain. Concerns can be reported directly to line managers, senior management, or through designated reporting channels within the business. Reports can be made in confidence, and we will not tolerate victimisation of anyone who raises a concern in good faith.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

We recognise that the fight against modern slavery requires ongoing vigilance and improvement. Rubbish Clearance West Hampstead is committed to regularly reviewing and enhancing our policies, procedures, and due diligence measures to ensure they remain effective and proportionate to our risks.

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least once every year by senior management. As part of this review, we assess the effectiveness of our actions, consider any changes in our operations or supply chain, and identify opportunities to strengthen our approach. Updated statements are communicated internally and made available to interested parties to maintain transparency and accountability.

This statement reflects the current position of Rubbish Clearance West Hampstead regarding modern slavery and human trafficking and demonstrates our ongoing commitment to safeguarding the rights and wellbeing of everyone connected to our business.
