Modern Slavery Statement for Business Waste Removal Fitzrovia

Business Waste Removal Fitzrovia is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms across our operations and supply chain. This statement outlines our approach to ensuring that every element of our commercial waste removal services in Fitzrovia is conducted ethically, safely and in compliance with applicable laws. We operate a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of forced labour, child exploitation or human trafficking and set clear expectations for employees, contractors and partners.

We recognise that as a local waste management and business rubbish collection provider, our obligations extend to procurement, subcontracting and logistics. Our team applies rigorous standards when selecting suppliers and contractors for business waste removal in Fitzrovia and adjoining areas. All staff receive training to identify signs of exploitation and to understand their responsibilities under this statement. Every member of the organisation is empowered to raise concerns.

Our policy is public and enforced: we will not tolerate modern slavery in any form within the operations of Fitzrovia commercial waste removal or among our partners. We maintain clear contractual clauses that require suppliers to adhere to anti-slavery standards and to notify us immediately of any breaches. Those clauses allow for remedial actions up to termination of contracts where necessary.

We undertake a proportionate due diligence programme for suppliers engaged in business waste removal Fitzrovia-wide. Our procurement team carries out risk-based checks that prioritise areas of higher vulnerability, including low-skilled labour, temporary workforce providers and subcontractors performing manual handling and transport tasks. Where risks are identified, we implement mitigation and monitoring steps.

Supplier audits form a key part of our approach. Audits combine documentation review and on-site checks where practicable, verifying payroll records, employment contracts, working hours and recruitment practices. We use a scoring methodology to assess compliance and to plan follow-up audits. Our approach to supplier oversight ensures that Fitzrovia waste collection partners meet legal and ethical standards.

We maintain a transparent procurement code and expect suppliers to implement policies that mirror our high standards. Remediation measures are agreed in writing and progress monitored. In extreme or unresolved cases, we will suspend or end relationships to protect workers and maintain the integrity of our commercial waste removal service in Fitzrovia and nearby districts.

To support reporting, we maintain multiple safe channels for employees, contractors and third parties to disclose concerns about modern slavery or unethical practices. Reports can be made anonymously, and all disclosures are treated seriously and investigated swiftly. We emphasise non-retaliation and confidentiality. Our internal whistleblowing procedures are communicated regularly and reinforced through training.

Training is delivered to frontline staff, supervisors and procurement personnel, focusing on the indicators of exploitation in the waste sector, safe reporting and supplier engagement. This training underpins our practical efforts to prevent modern slavery across the Fitzrovia business waste removal network, and it is refreshed to reflect emerging risks and best practices.

Our board and senior leadership conduct an annual review of the effectiveness of our anti-slavery measures. This review evaluates policy effectiveness, audit outcomes, reported concerns, training uptake and supplier compliance. Findings drive continuous improvement: action plans are created, progress is tracked and outcomes are reported internally. We commit to evolving our controls to ensure that zero tolerance is not just a statement but a measurable practice across every facet of Fitzrovia commercial waste removal.
