Modern Slavery Statement — Commercial Waste Feltham

Commercial Waste Feltham affirms a firm and continuing commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations. This statement describes the steps we take across the business to ensure that our services for commercial waste in Feltham and surrounding areas are delivered ethically, transparently and in compliance with applicable laws. We adopt a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, bonded labour, human trafficking or exploitation.

Our zero-tolerance approach is embedded in company policies and communicated to employees and partners. All staff receive training emphasising the importance of vigilance and the obligation to report concerns. We maintain clear procurement principles to reduce the risk of modern slavery in the supply chain, and we use contract clauses that mandate compliance with anti-slavery laws for every supplier of Feltham commercial waste services.

To ensure adherence to standards we conduct regular supplier audits and risk-based due diligence. Key elements of our supplier assurance programme include:

• Pre-contract screening for new vendors supplying commercial-waste Feltham services;
• Periodic on-site and remote audits focusing on working hours, wages, recruitment fees and identity verification;
• Corrective action plans where non-conformities are identified and follow-up verification.

We provide multiple reporting channels to enable safe, confidential and effective reporting of suspected modern slavery. Our reporting mechanisms include anonymous internal hotlines, secure email reporting routed to our ethics team, and designated managers trained to receive and escalate reports. All reports are treated with confidentiality and without retaliation.

Our due diligence process for suppliers of Commercial Waste – Feltham involves contract review, risk scoring and targeted monitoring. We assess suppliers on Labour standards, recruitment practices and training procedures. High-risk suppliers are required to implement remediation plans and to participate in joint inspections, and we reserve contractual remedies up to termination where necessary.

Employees and subcontractors involved in Feltham commercial waste operations receive routine training on identifying exploitation indicators and safe reporting. We maintain an internal register of compliance checks and training completion to ensure ongoing monitoring, and we strongly encourage workers to raise concerns without fear by promoting an open and supportive workplace culture.

We perform an annual review of our policies and procedures to ensure they remain effective and aligned with emerging best practice. The review includes analysis of audit findings, reported incidents, remedial actions taken and metrics such as supplier risk ratings and training completion rates. This

annual review

results in adjustments to controls, enhanced training materials and updated contractual clauses where necessary.

Where investigations identify victims of exploitation, we commit to prompt remediation and protection measures, coordinating with relevant authorities and specialist services where appropriate. We require corrective action from suppliers and will suspend or terminate relationships if improvement is not achieved. Our enforcement approach is consistent and designed to prevent recurrence.

In summary, Commercial Waste Feltham is dedicated to eradicating modern slavery from our operations and supply chains. We will continue to refine our supplier audits, strengthen reporting channels, maintain a clear zero-tolerance policy and conduct an annual review of performance and controls. This statement is endorsed by senior management and reflects our ongoing commitment to ethical waste management and responsible procurement across all commercial waste activities in Feltham.
