Modern Slavery Statement — Commercial Waste Removal Kenton

Commercial Waste Removal Kenton is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our operations and supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our zero-tolerance approach to exploitation, the controls we use to identify risk, and the responsibilities we hold as a Kenton waste services provider. We recognise that as a local leader in Kenton commercial waste removal we have a duty to protect vulnerable workers and to promote ethical labour practices.

We operate a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of forced labour, human trafficking or exploitation. Our policy requires immediate action when concerns arise and a coordinated response that safeguards victims while ensuring suspected perpetrators are removed from our contracts. All staff, contractors and suppliers are required to adhere to these standards as part of their contractual terms and company code of conduct.

To embed these standards into our supplier base we conduct regular supplier audits and risk assessments. Audits examine recruitment practices, wage compliance, living and working conditions and documentation procedures. Our supplier audit programme is tailored to the specific risks associated with commercial waste Kenton operations and includes on-site checks, questionnaire reviews and follow-up remediation plans where necessary.

We maintain clear reporting channels to enable safe, confidential and effective escalation of concerns. Employees and third parties can report suspected modern slavery through internal whistleblowing processes and anonymous reporting routes. Reports are treated seriously and investigated by a designated compliance team that follows a documented investigation protocol to protect complainants and ensure due process.

Our programme for preventing slavery in the Kenton commercial waste removal sector includes training, supply chain mapping and contractual safeguards. Managers and procurement teams receive mandatory training to identify indicators of exploitation. We proactively map our supply chain to identify high-risk tiers and subcontractors used in waste handling, transport and disposal. This mapping informs the scope and frequency of our supplier audits and targeted interventions.

Key elements of our compliance framework include:

• Pre-engagement due diligence for new suppliers to commercial waste removal in Kenton
• Regular supplier audits, including surprise inspections and documentary checks
• Contract clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery requirements and the right to terminate for breaches

We also undertake targeted measures to support vulnerable workers and to reduce the risk of hidden exploitation in waste supply chains. These measures include verifying right-to-work documentation, monitoring late payment practices that can create dependency, and insisting on transparent recruitment fees so workers do not bear unlawful costs. Our procurement team works closely with site managers to ensure that temp agencies and labour providers meet our standards for responsible recruitment.

As part of our governance, annual review processes evaluate the effectiveness of policies and procedures across our Kenton waste removal services. Each year the Board reviews audit outcomes, incident reports, and supplier performance metrics to decide on improvements and resource allocation. Findings from the annual review are used to update training, refine audit criteria, and strengthen contractual language to close any gaps identified.

We are committed to continuous improvement and transparency. Commercial waste removal in Kenton must be conducted ethically and with respect for human rights at every stage. Any incidents identified are remediated swiftly and we remain prepared to work with stakeholders, regulators and law enforcement to address serious breaches. By maintaining robust supplier audits, clear reporting channels, a public zero-tolerance policy and an annual review cycle, Commercial Waste Kenton aims to reduce modern slavery risks and to champion responsible waste management practices across our community.
