Modern Slavery Statement — Skip Hire Earls Court

Skip Hire Earls Court is committed to upholding human rights and eliminating any form of modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking or exploitation from our operations and supply chains. This statement sets out our clear position: we have a zero-tolerance policy on modern slavery and a proactive programme to identify, prevent and mitigate risks in every part of our business. We apply the highest standards to our skip-hire Earls Court services and expect the same from suppliers and contractors.

We take practical steps across the company to make sure our Earls Court skip hire activities do not create opportunities for exploitation. Our policies require that every employee and partner understands the legal and ethical obligations we hold, and we maintain mandatory training and written acknowledgements from staff. We emphasise transparency in recruitment and labour practices and insist on lawful contracts, clear pay structures and safe working conditions at all sites.

Our supplier relationships are central to reducing risk. For this reason, our procurement process for skip-hire in Earls Court incorporates rigorous checks and due diligence. We require suppliers to confirm compliance with anti-slavery principles and to provide evidence of their ethical practices. Where risk indicators arise, we conduct targeted investigations and escalate issues through senior management to ensure prompt resolution.

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy that applies to all aspects of our work: operations, logistics, waste handling and subcontracting. This policy is communicated in employment contracts, supplier agreements and internal governance documents. Breaches trigger disciplinary action and, where appropriate, legal proceedings. For Earls Court skip hire and related services, we enforce identity verification, fair working hours, and the right to leave employment without penalty.

To support implementation we undertake regular supplier audits and risk assessments. Audits combine desk-based reviews, documentation checks and on-site inspections. Audit findings are reported to the compliance team and remediation plans are required where shortcomings are identified. We prioritise audits for higher-risk suppliers, including those providing manual labour, transport and sub-contracting services.

Our expectations of suppliers and contractors are summarised below:

• Compliance with labour laws and prohibition of forced labour.
• Fair pay, working conditions and lawful recruitment practices.
• Cooperation with audits and remedial action plans.

We provide multiple confidential reporting channels for employees, suppliers and third parties to raise concerns about modern slavery or unethical practices related to Earls Court skip-hire operations. Reports are handled sensitively, investigated by trained compliance staff, and escalated as necessary. We protect whistleblowers from retaliation and ensure that every allegation is assessed and documented.

Investigations follow clear procedures: initial triage, evidence gathering, supplier engagement and corrective action. When abuse is confirmed, we terminate arrangements with non-compliant partners and seek legal redress where appropriate. We also offer support pathways for affected individuals within the limits of our role and responsibilities.

Accountability is maintained through an annual review process. Our Board and senior management receive reports on policy implementation, audit outcomes, incidents and corrective actions taken. Each year we publicly review and update this statement, refine our audit methodology, improve training, and strengthen contractual protections to better prevent modern slavery across the skip-hire network in Earls Court and adjacent operations.
