Modern Slavery Statement — Business Waste Removal Canary Wharf
Business Waste Removal Canary Wharf operates with a clear and uncompromising stance against modern slavery and human trafficking. This statement sets out our zero-tolerance policy and the practical steps the company takes to prevent exploitation across our commercial waste removal Canary Wharf operations. We recognise that robust prevention requires clarity of purpose, training, and accessible reporting.
Our commitment applies to all parts of our organisation and to our supply chain partners involved in waste collection, recycling and corporate waste removal in Canary Wharf and the surrounding boroughs. We require suppliers to adhere to the same high standards and to confirm compliance through contractual clauses, supplier onboarding checks and periodic attestations.
We have implemented specific controls for contractor management across our Canary Wharf business waste removal services: written contracts, right-to-work verification, and routine checks on working hours and remuneration. These measures are designed to reduce risk in areas of cleaning, manual handling and logistics where abuse can occur.
Policy, Expectations and Training
Our zero-tolerance policy is published internally and reinforced through mandatory staff training. All employees attending field operations, procurement or supplier management receive instruction on how to recognise signs of forced labour and how to act. Managers are trained to escalate concerns and document all actions taken.
We also run targeted awareness sessions for teams managing commercial waste removal Canary Wharf contracts, ensuring that supervisors and drivers are alert to indicators such as withheld documents, unusual working hours, or third-party control of worker movement. Awareness is a primary defence against exploitation.
Suppliers and subcontractors are required to publish their own anti-slavery policies or to sign our supplier code of conduct. We include anti-slavery clauses in all major procurement agreements and require evidence of compliance before contracts are awarded.
- Mandatory supplier declarations
- Right-to-work and identity checks
- Transparent payroll audits for high-risk partners
Due Diligence, Supplier Audits and Reporting Channels
Our due diligence framework for Canary Wharf waste removal suppliers includes risk-based screening, on-site audits and desktop reviews. We prioritise audits for suppliers operating in high-risk sectors or those with complex multi-layer subcontracting arrangements. When audits identify concerns, corrective action plans are mandated and progress is tracked to closure.
We maintain multiple, confidential reporting channels so employees, contractors and third parties can raise concerns without fear of retaliation. Reports can be submitted anonymously through internal reporting lines, and all allegations are investigated promptly and proportionately. We treat every report seriously and maintain records of investigations and outcomes.
Corrective measures following investigations may include remediation for affected individuals, termination of contracts, referral to law enforcement and changes to our procurement criteria. Business waste removal in Canary Wharf must be delivered consistent with human rights and labour law standards; failure to meet those standards triggers firm action.
We also engage with industry bodies, local authorities and peers to share best practice on preventing modern slavery in corporate waste removal operations across Canary Wharf and the City. Collaboration strengthens our ability to identify systemic risks and to promote ethical supply chain practice.
During procurement we implement targeted checks such as verification of payroll records, interviews with workers, and assessment of recruitment processes. Suppliers must demonstrate transparency around labour supply chains and commit to continuous improvement.
We will continue to evolve our approach, incorporating lessons learned from audits and investigations, supplier feedback and regulatory guidance to reduce the risk of exploitation within our waste removal services.
Annual Review and Continuous Improvement: Our Modern Slavery Statement for Canary Wharf business waste removal is reviewed annually by senior leadership and the compliance committee. The review assesses policy effectiveness, audit outcomes, training completion rates and any incidents or near-misses. Findings inform updates to our zero-tolerance policy, supplier audit schedules and reporting mechanisms. This iterative process ensures our corporate waste removal Canary Wharf activities remain vigilant, resilient and aligned with best practice on modern slavery prevention.
