Modern Slavery Statement for Rubbish Removal Holland Park

Rubbish Removal Holland Park is committed to conducting all aspects of our business in an ethical, responsible and transparent manner. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps we take to identify, prevent and address modern slavery and human trafficking risks within our operations and supply chains. It applies to all employees, agency workers, contractors, and suppliers engaged by Rubbish Removal Holland Park.

Our Zero Tolerance Approach

We have a zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour, servitude and exploitation. We believe every person has the right to live and work in freedom and dignity, and we will not knowingly enter into or maintain relationships with any individual or organisation involved in such practices.

This commitment is embedded in our internal policies, including recruitment, procurement and health and safety procedures. All staff are expected to act with integrity and to support our stance on human rights. Breaches of this policy may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment or business relationships.

Our Operations and Supply Chain

Rubbish Removal Holland Park provides waste collection, clearance and related services. Our operations rely on a network of suppliers and subcontractors that may provide vehicles, equipment, protective clothing, recycling services, disposal facilities and temporary labour. We recognise that risks of modern slavery can arise at multiple stages of this supply chain, particularly where lower-skilled or migrant labour may be involved, or where services are outsourced.

We are committed to working only with suppliers and partners who share our values and who can demonstrate robust labour and human rights standards. We aim to build long-term, transparent relationships that reduce the risk of unethical practices and promote continuous improvement.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We conduct due diligence on new and existing suppliers that are considered to present a higher risk of modern slavery. This process may include pre-qualification checks, review of labour and human rights policies, and confirmation of compliance with relevant legislation.

Where appropriate, we carry out supplier audits to assess working conditions, recruitment practices, pay structures and health and safety standards. These audits may be conducted through documented questionnaires, site visits, or independent assessments. Any issues identified must be addressed through agreed corrective action plans, with defined timeframes for implementation.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate relationships with suppliers or subcontractors that fail to meet our standards or that refuse to cooperate with audits or remediation efforts.

Reporting Concerns and Whistleblowing Channels

We actively encourage employees, suppliers, contractors and members of the public to raise concerns about potential modern slavery or unethical labour practices connected to our operations or supply chain.

Concerns can be reported directly to management, through our internal whistleblowing channels, or to a designated senior contact responsible for overseeing compliance and ethics. Reports can be made confidentially, and we will treat all concerns sensitively and seriously.

We do not tolerate victimisation or retaliation against any person who, in good faith, raises a concern or participates in an investigation. All reports will be investigated promptly and appropriate action will be taken where issues are substantiated.

Training and Awareness

We are committed to raising awareness of modern slavery among our workforce and key suppliers. Relevant employees are provided with guidance on recognising indicators of exploitation, understanding our policies, and knowing how to report concerns. We review and update training materials to reflect changes in best practice and legislation.

Monitoring, Review and Continuous Improvement

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least annually by our senior management team to ensure it remains effective, relevant and aligned with legal obligations and industry standards. As part of this review, we evaluate the effectiveness of our due diligence processes, supplier audits, training and reporting mechanisms.

We aim to enhance our approach over time by learning from experience, engaging with stakeholders and monitoring emerging risks. Where opportunities for improvement are identified, we will update our policies, procedures and controls accordingly.

This Statement is approved by the management of Rubbish Removal Holland Park and represents our ongoing commitment to preventing modern slavery and promoting ethical conduct in all aspects of our business.
