Modern Slavery Statement — Business Waste Removal Belmont

Business Waste Removal Belmont is committed to upholding the highest ethical standards across all operations. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our clear, zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour in every part of our business and supply chain. We recognise our responsibility as a leading provider of commercial and business waste removal in Belmont to prevent exploitation, protect workers and promote transparency.

Our approach to safeguarding human rights covers our core activities, including refuse collection, recycling services and commercial waste management. We require all personnel, contractors and partners to adhere to our policies. Belmont business waste removal operations are audited and monitored, and breaches of our standards are treated with the utmost seriousness. We emphasise prevention, rapid response and continuous improvement.

Supply Chain Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

We maintain a structured programme of supplier assessments and supplier audits to reduce the risk of modern slavery in our procurement of goods and services. This includes pre-contract screening, periodic site visits and documentation checks. Our procurement team evaluates risks by sector, location and service type and applies additional controls where needed.

Audit Process and Standards

Our supplier audit framework requires suppliers to demonstrate lawful employment practices, verified identity checks, clear pay records and reasonable working hours. We use a combination of remote assessments and on-site audits. Key audit elements include:

• Verification of worker documentation and recruitment channels;
• Review of payroll systems and wage payments;
• Inspection of working and living conditions where applicable;
• Evaluation of subcontractor management and recruitment fees.

We require suppliers to correct any deficiencies uncovered during audits within agreed timescales and may suspend or terminate contracts for severe or unresolved breaches. Our remediation actions are focused on protecting affected workers and preventing recurrence.

Reporting and whistleblowing channels form a critical part of our programme. All staff and partners are encouraged to report concerns through secure channels that allow for anonymous submissions where required. Reports are handled confidentially and investigated promptly by trained personnel. We provide awareness training so employees and subcontractors can recognise signs of exploitation and understand how to raise concerns.

Available reporting channels include internal reporting lines, management escalation and independent third-party hotlines. We ensure that retaliation against those who raise concerns in good faith is strictly prohibited. Our governance ensures timely escalation to senior leadership and, where necessary, engagement with relevant authorities and specialist support organisations to assist victims.

Training, Procurement and Continuous Improvement

Training on modern slavery risks is provided to procurement teams, site managers and key operational staff. We integrate human rights considerations into supplier selection and contractual terms for commercial waste removal Belmont-wide, including clauses that require compliance with our modern slavery standards and the provision for audit rights.

We monitor industry developments, regulatory changes and best practice to refine our approach. Where risks are identified, we adopt targeted mitigations and work collaboratively with suppliers to strengthen controls. Our Belmont waste removal services are aligned with a continuous improvement cycle that values transparency and accountability.

Annual Review and Board Oversight The effectiveness of this Modern Slavery Statement and related policies is reviewed at least annually. Senior management and our governance committee evaluate audit outcomes, training uptake, reported incidents and remediation actions. Findings inform policy updates, resource allocation and strategic priorities to further reduce risk across our operations and supply chain.

In conclusion, Business Waste Removal Belmont strongly condemns modern slavery in all forms. We maintain a proactive stance through supplier audits, robust reporting channels, comprehensive training and an annual review process that drives accountability and improvement. This statement reflects our ongoing commitment to protect workers, uphold human rights and ensure ethical practice across every aspect of our business.
