We recognise our responsibility as a provider of commercial waste removal in Hammersmith to maintain ethical labour standards, transparent procurement and active due diligence.

All employees are required to comply with the code of conduct which explicitly prohibits slavery and human trafficking.

Scope and Risk Assessment

We conduct regular risk assessments across the waste removal services Hammersmith supply chain, focusing on areas of elevated risk such as subcontracted manual labour, vehicle maintenance, and overseas procurement of equipment. We maintain records of high-risk suppliers and prioritise them for enhanced oversight. Risk-based measures are embedded into procurement decisions to reduce exposure to modern slavery risks.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

Our supplier management framework includes pre-engagement screening and periodic audits. Suppliers to Business Waste Removal in Hammersmith must confirm compliance with our anti-slavery standards and provide documentation on employment practices. We deploy supplier audits that include site visits, worker interviews and document reviews to verify fair wages, working hours and safe conditions.

Audit findings are evaluated and tracked. Where deficiencies are identified we implement corrective action plans with clear timelines. Persistent non-compliance can lead to contract termination. Our procurement teams embed contractual clauses that reserve the right to audit and require remediation, reflecting a proactive approach to supplier governance and the ethical sourcing of labour.

Key audit and due diligence activities include:

• Document verification for payroll and identity checks
• On-site worker interviews and welfare assessments
• Review of subcontractor chains and recruitment practices

We support whistleblowing and maintain multiple secure reporting channels for anyone to raise concerns about exploitation. Reports can be made anonymously through internal hotlines, third-party reporting platforms and through line management. Reports are triaged promptly and investigated by trained compliance staff. Confidentiality and protection from retaliation are fundamental principles of our reporting process.

Remediation and support are provided to any workers found to be victims of modern slavery, including assistance to access safe accommodation, legal support and liaison with relevant authorities when appropriate. We record and monitor outcomes to ensure victims receive humane and effective remedies. Our policy emphasises continuous improvement and the welfare of affected individuals.

Training, KPIs and Continuous Improvement

All employees involved in procurement, operations and contract management receive training on identifying and preventing modern slavery risks. We track performance through defined KPIs such as audit completion rates, corrective action closure times, and the number of supplier risk mitigations implemented. Performance data is reviewed by senior management to drive accountability and improvement across Hammersmith commercial waste removal activities.
