Get a quoteThis Modern Slavery Statement sets out the actions taken by Rubbish Clearance Greenwich to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We recognise that the waste and recycling sector can be exposed to labour exploitation risks, and we are committed to identifying, preventing, and addressing any such risks promptly and effectively.
Rubbish Clearance Greenwich has a strict zero-tolerance policy toward all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, servitude, child labour, and human trafficking. We will not knowingly engage with or support any business or individual that engages in these practices. This policy applies to all aspects of our business, including permanent and temporary staff, agency workers, contractors, and any third parties who act on our behalf.
Every member of our team is expected to uphold high standards of ethical conduct, treat colleagues with dignity and respect, and comply with all applicable labour and human rights laws. Any breach of our zero-tolerance policy is treated as a serious disciplinary matter and may result in termination of employment or business relationships.
Our services include household and commercial rubbish clearance, waste removal, and associated transportation and recycling activities. Our supply chain primarily consists of vehicle and equipment suppliers, waste transfer and recycling facilities, uniform and safety equipment providers, and labour agencies.
We recognise that some elements of this supply chain may present a higher risk of labour exploitation, particularly where seasonal or low-skilled work is involved, or where work is subcontracted. We are committed to working only with reputable suppliers who share our values and comply with our expectations in relation to modern slavery.
We undertake proportionate due diligence on new suppliers and review existing suppliers on a regular basis. This includes assessing their policies and practices on labour rights, working conditions, and ethical conduct. Where appropriate, we require suppliers to confirm that they have their own modern slavery policies and procedures in place, and that they comply with all relevant legislation.
We reserve the right to carry out audits or request evidence from suppliers to demonstrate compliance with our standards. Where concerns are identified, we will work with the supplier to address them within a clear timeframe. If a supplier is unwilling or unable to meet our requirements, we may suspend or terminate the relationship.
We are working to increase awareness of modern slavery risks among our staff, particularly managers, supervisors, and anyone involved in procurement or supplier management. Training and guidance are provided to help staff recognise the signs of exploitation, understand our reporting procedures, and respond appropriately to concerns.
We encourage all employees, agency workers, and contractors to report any suspicions or concerns about modern slavery in our operations or supply chain. Concerns can be raised directly with a line manager, a senior manager, or a designated member of the management team responsible for compliance. Reports can be made in confidence, and we will not tolerate any form of retaliation against individuals who raise concerns in good faith.
All reports relating to potential modern slavery or human trafficking will be taken seriously and investigated promptly. Where appropriate, we will involve relevant authorities and cooperate fully with any external investigations.
Rubbish Clearance Greenwich is committed to continuous improvement in our approach to tackling modern slavery. We regularly review our policies, procedures, and supplier management processes to strengthen our controls and adapt to emerging risks.
This Modern Slavery Statement will be reviewed, updated, and approved by the management team on an annual basis, or more frequently if necessary. As part of this review, we will assess the effectiveness of our actions, consider feedback from staff and stakeholders, and identify further steps to enhance our prevention and detection efforts.
By maintaining a clear zero-tolerance stance, engaging proactively with our suppliers, and providing robust reporting channels, Rubbish Clearance Greenwich aims to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking have no place in our business or supply chain.
