Modern Slavery Statement for Business Waste Removal Morden
This statement outlines the commitment of Business Waste Removal Morden and affiliated operations to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our activities and supply chain. We recognise the responsibility we hold as a provider of commercial waste removal in Morden and related services and set out our approach to risk, prevention, mitigation and reporting. Our position is clear: we have a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, servitude, child labour or human trafficking.Policy and Scope
Our policy applies across all functions of Morden business waste removal, including transport, recycling partners, contractors and temporary labour. The policy is underpinned by our core values and is mandatory for all staff and contractors. We will not knowingly engage with suppliers who tolerate exploitation of workers and we expect full compliance with employment law, workplace safety standards and ethical recruitment practices.
Who the Policy Covers
This statement covers all operations described as Business Waste Removal Morden, waste removal Morden services and third-party supply chains from local subcontractors to national partners. Responsibility for policy implementation sits with senior management and is shared across procurement, operations and human resources.Our zero-tolerance policy means that any confirmed instances of modern slavery will result in immediate action, which may include termination of contracts, notification to relevant authorities and remediation measures for affected individuals. We place emphasis on prevention through clear expectations, worker education and contract clauses that require compliance with ethical labour standards.
We maintain robust supplier due diligence and audit procedures for all tiers of the supply chain. This includes initial onboarding assessments, risk-based supplier questionnaires, and periodic audits. Audits are a combination of document review and, where appropriate, site inspections carried out either directly or through certified third-party auditors to verify working conditions, payroll and recruitment fees.
Key elements of our supplier audit and monitoring programme include:
- Risk profiling: assessing geographies, sectors and supplier types for heightened risk;
- On-site checks: verifying contracts, payslips and accommodation where relevant;
- Corrective action plans: time-bound requirements for remediation where non-compliance is identified.
We provide multiple reporting channels to ensure employees, subcontractors and third parties can raise concerns safely. These channels include anonymous reporting options, secure email submission and escalation to a designated compliance officer. All reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and documented. We prohibit retaliation and protect whistleblowers in line with our internal policies.
Training and awareness are central to our prevention strategy. Staff and contractors receive regular training on the signs of exploitation, safe recruitment practices and the company’s reporting protocols. Procurement teams are trained to evaluate labour risk in contracts and to include binding anti-slavery clauses in supplier agreements.
Review and Continuous Improvement: We undertake an annual review of this modern slavery statement and our associated policies. The review examines the effectiveness of our risk assessments, supplier audits, training programmes and reporting mechanisms. Findings are presented to senior leadership and used to revise processes, allocate resources and set improvement targets for the following year. By committing to transparency and continuous improvement, Morden business waste removal aims to reduce risks and ensure ethical standards are enforced throughout our operations.
