Modern Slavery Statement — Commercial Waste Turnham Green
Commercial Waste Turnham Green is committed to preventing slavery and human trafficking in any part of our business or supply chain. This statement sets out our approach, driven by a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery and forced labour. As a provider of Turnham Green commercial waste services, we recognise our responsibility to protect vulnerable people and to ensure that our operations, contractors and partners meet the highest ethical standards.
We operate across several service lines covering collection, recycling and disposal, and we take proactive steps to identify and reduce risk. Our due diligence procedure includes supplier screening, contract clauses, and ongoing monitoring, all designed to uphold the dignity and rights of workers. The policy applies to every employee, contractor and sub-contractor engaged with commercial-waste Turnham Green activities.
Zero-Tolerance Policy and Leadership
Our leadership endorses a robust stance: there is no place for modern slavery in our operations. We require all senior managers and procurement teams to confirm compliance with anti-slavery principles and to act immediately if concerns arise. The board receives regular updates about risk profiling, and any breaches result in immediate investigation, corrective action and, where necessary, termination of contracts.We assess risk by geography, service type and supplier profile. For higher-risk categories we deploy enhanced checks, including verification of employment records, right-to-work documentation and on-site inspections. Our supplier code of conduct mandates fair wages, reasonable working hours and safe working conditions. Where we identify non-compliance, we work with suppliers to remediate issues quickly and transparently.
Supplier Audits and Due Diligence
Audits are central to our approach. We run a programme of scheduled and ad-hoc supplier audits that examine labour practices, subcontractor arrangements and recruitment channels. Audits combine document review, virtual checks and physical visits. Findings are tracked, reported and closed out through corrective action plans. Suppliers that repeatedly fail to meet standards are escalated and may be removed from our supply network.To support these audits, procurement contracts include specific clauses on anti-slavery compliance, right-to-work verification and the obligation to permit inspections. These contractual protections help ensure that Turnham Green waste management partners align with our standards and allow us to enforce remedies where necessary.
Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing
We maintain confidential reporting channels to encourage staff, contractors and third parties to raise concerns about possible modern slavery. Reports are handled sensitively and investigated promptly. Our whistleblowing pathway ensures that allegations of forced labour or exploitation are escalated to the appropriate governance level, preserving anonymity where requested and protecting reporters from retaliation.
Training and awareness form part of our prevention strategy. All employees in procurement, operations and supervisory roles receive regular training on recognising signs of modern slavery, reporting procedures and the company’s expectations for suppliers. Training materials include scenario-based guidance specifically tailored to the realities of waste collection and recycling operations in Turnham Green and surrounding areas.
