Modern Slavery Statement — Commercial Waste Haringey

n

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the approach of Commercial Waste Haringey and related trading operations to the prevention of modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour in our business and supply chain. We are committed to upholding human rights and maintaining the highest standards of ethical conduct across all aspects of our Haringey commercial waste activities. Our zero-tolerance position is explicit: any form of exploitation is unacceptable and will be addressed decisively. The commitment of the commercial waste haringey team is embedded into policies, training and operational oversight.n

n

We recognise that risks can arise in different parts of the waste management lifecycle and among contractors, sub-contractors and temporary workers. As a responsible provider of commercial waste Haringey services we continually review our practices and promote transparency, ethical sourcing and fair treatment of all people who touch our operations. This statement applies to all employees, contractors and suppliers working with Commercial Waste Haringey and its affiliated businesses.n

n

Our statement covers the period of the financial year and is published to show accountability. We believe that proactive measures reduce the risk of modern slavery in the Haringey commercial waste sector. The measures we take are practical and measurable, including supplier due diligence, targeted audits and clear escalation routes for concerns. We work with partners to ensure that labour standards and human rights are respected throughout the waste supply chain.n

Zero-tolerance policy and expectations

n

Commercial Waste Services Haringey operates a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery. All colleagues and supply chain partners must comply with this policy. Any evidence of forced labour, debt bondage, human trafficking, or other exploitative practices will lead to immediate action, which may include termination of contracts and referral to law enforcement. We will not tolerate any attempt to conceal abusive practices and we require transparency and cooperation when concerns are raised.n

n

To support this position, the company has implemented mandatory training for staff who procure, manage or supervise supply chain activity. We provide awareness training designed to help identify signs of exploitation and to ensure personnel know how to escalate concerns. This is part of our broader approach to responsible waste management in Haringey and neighbouring areas.n

n

We enforce supplier standards through contractual clauses and robust selection criteria. Key elements include:

n
• Contractual requirements to comply with anti-slavery laws and our code of conduct;
n
• Right to conduct audits, inspections and request remediation plans;
n
• Requirements for transparency in employment practices and subcontractor usage.

Supplier audits, reporting channels and remediation

n

Our supplier audit programme targets risk areas and focuses on high-volume and high-risk suppliers within the Haringey commercial waste supply chain. Audits are a mix of announced and unannounced reviews, documentation checks and, where appropriate, site visits. Findings are assessed and acted upon; persistent non-compliance results in contract termination. We emphasise continuous improvement, requiring corrective action plans when issues are identified.n

n

We maintain multiple secure and confidential reporting channels for employees, contractors and third parties to raise concerns. Reports can be escalated internally to senior management or to external authorities where needed. All reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and handled with appropriate confidentiality. Retaliation against anyone raising a genuine concern is strictly prohibited under our policies.n

n

Commercial Waste Haringey takes a collaborative approach to remediation. Where cases of exploitation are found, we will prioritise victim safety and support, require contractors to remediate harms, and involve statutory agencies where required. Lessons learned feed back into policy updates, procurement criteria and staff training.n

n

We also commit to an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement to reflect operational changes, audit outcomes, evolving legal requirements and best practice. The annual review process includes assessment of supply chain risk, audit results, training completion rates, and any remediation activity. Findings are used to strengthen controls across our waste services and to ensure continuous alignment with our ethical standards.n

n

By publishing this statement, Commercial Waste Haringey reaffirms its dedication to preventing modern slavery and protecting human rights in the commercial waste sector. We will continue to work with suppliers, partners and regulators to safeguard vulnerable workers, promote fair labour practices and maintain ethical operations across all Haringey commercial waste services.n
