This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement is made by Rubbish Clearance Croydon in respect of our operations and supply chains. It sets out the steps we are taking to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation in all areas of our business. We recognise our responsibility to act ethically and with integrity and to implement effective systems and controls to ensure modern slavery is not taking place.
Zero-Tolerance Approach
Rubbish Clearance Croydon adopts a strict zero-tolerance policy to modern slavery and human trafficking. We do not accept any form of forced, bonded, or involuntary labour, and we do not tolerate the exploitation of children, vulnerable people, or any worker in our operations or supply chains. This commitment applies to our employees, agency workers, contractors, and all suppliers with whom we engage.
All staff are expected to uphold our values, comply with this statement, and immediately report any concerns. Managers have a specific responsibility to support and enforce this policy, ensuring that no practice within their area of control could facilitate modern slavery.
Our Business and Supply Chains
Rubbish Clearance Croydon provides waste removal and rubbish clearance services for residential, commercial, and construction customers. Our supply chains include providers of vehicles, fuel, personal protective equipment, uniforms, cleaning products, waste transfer and recycling facilities, and various professional and support services.
We acknowledge that certain sectors within our supply chain, such as logistics, cleaning, and outsourced labour, may carry a higher risk of modern slavery. We are committed to understanding these risks and applying focused oversight where it is needed most.
Supplier Standards and Audits
We expect all suppliers and subcontractors to share our zero-tolerance stance and to comply with all applicable labour and human rights laws. As part of our procurement process, we conduct due diligence on new suppliers, which may include checks on ownership, labour practices, and the use of subcontractors.
Where appropriate, we carry out supplier audits, either directly or through documented questionnaires and evidence requests. These audits are designed to assess compliance with labour standards, working conditions, and the absence of forced or trafficked labour. If a supplier is found to be in breach of our standards, we will require corrective actions within a defined timeframe or, where necessary, terminate the relationship.
Training and Awareness
We provide internal guidance to managers and key staff involved in recruitment, procurement, and supplier management to help them identify signs of modern slavery and understand how to escalate any concerns. We encourage an open culture where staff feel able to raise issues without fear of reprisals.
Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing
Rubbish Clearance Croydon encourages employees, contractors, suppliers, and any other stakeholders to report concerns about modern slavery or unethical labour practices. Reports can be made to line managers, senior management, or via our designated reporting routes, which include confidential contact options for staff.
All reports will be treated seriously and investigated promptly and sensitively. We do not tolerate victimisation or retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith, whether or not it is ultimately substantiated.
Continuous Improvement and Annual Review
We are committed to continuous improvement in our approach to preventing modern slavery. Each year we will review this statement, our risk assessments, and the effectiveness of our controls. This review will consider any incidents reported, the results of supplier audits, changes in our supply chain, and developments in best practice and legislation.
Following each annual review, we will update our procedures and this statement as necessary, ensuring that our actions remain proportionate, effective, and aligned with our values. This statement has been approved by the senior management of Rubbish Clearance Croydon and will be reviewed and updated on an annual basis.
