Modern Slavery Statement for Business Waste Removal Archway
Our company, operating as Business Waste Removal Archway, confirms its commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking across all aspects of its operations. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy to any form of forced labour, child exploitation or unfair working practices. This statement sets out how our Archway waste removal services actively identify, assess and mitigate the risks of modern slavery within our business and supply chains.We recognise that, as a provider of business waste removal in Archway and surrounding areas, our procurement and operational activities can expose us and our partners to labour risks. Our senior management team has approved clear policies and mandates that require all colleagues, contractors and suppliers to adhere to ethical employment standards. The policy is communicated across the organisation and reinforced by training modules and contractual obligations that demand compliance with anti-slavery laws.
Supplier Audits and Due Diligence
Our supplier due diligence process for Archway waste removal services includes a structured audit programme. We screen new suppliers for labour compliance, verify employment records where appropriate and require documented evidence of fair wages and safe working conditions. Existing suppliers are monitored through periodic risk-based audits and on-site inspections. We treat supplier transparency as essential: where concerns are identified, corrective action plans are agreed and progress is tracked until compliance is restored.Audit Process and Continuous Improvement
To strengthen supplier oversight we operate a layered audit approach. This includes:- Initial screening of contractual documents and policies;
- Risk-based site audits for high-risk suppliers and subcontractors;
- Worker interviews and verification of pay records when necessary;
- Follow-up reviews to ensure remedial measures are effective.
These steps are applied across our waste collection teams, transfer stations and recycling partners that support our Archway waste removal services, ensuring a consistent standard of labour practice throughout the network.
Reporting Channels and Confidential Whistleblowing
We provide multiple secure reporting channels for any employee, supplier or member of the public to raise concerns about modern slavery. Reports may be made anonymously through our internal whistleblowing hotline, direct reporting lines to compliance officers, or through designated internal email systems that protect reporter identity. All reports are taken seriously, are investigated promptly and are handled in accordance with strict confidentiality protocols to protect whistleblowers from retaliation.
Our governance framework assigns clear responsibilities: the board reviews modern slavery risk annually, a compliance committee oversees audits and remedial actions, and operational managers implement day-to-day controls. Training is mandatory for staff in procurement, operations and site supervision so they can recognise signs of exploitation and respond correctly. We use targeted training to ensure practical awareness of exploitation indicators and escalation pathways.
Contractual Controls and Corrective Measures
Contracts for business waste removal in Archway include clauses requiring suppliers to comply with modern slavery legislation and to permit audits. Where breaches are confirmed, we enact corrective measures up to and including termination of contracts. A zero-tolerance stance means persistent non-compliance will lead to removal from our approved supplier list and exclusion from future tenders.
