Modern Slavery Statement for Rubbish Clearance Kennington

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by Rubbish Clearance Kennington to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships and to implementing effective systems and controls to ensure that modern slavery does not occur in any part of our business.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

Rubbish Clearance Kennington has a clear and robust zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour and child labour. We will not knowingly engage with any individual, contractor or organisation involved in such practices. Any suspicion or evidence of modern slavery linked to our services or supply chains will lead to immediate investigation and, where appropriate, termination of the relationship and reporting to the relevant authorities.

All employees, agency workers, subcontractors and suppliers are expected to share our commitment and comply with this zero-tolerance policy. We communicate this stance as part of our onboarding and contract processes so that our expectations are clearly understood from the outset.

Our Business and Supply Chains

Rubbish Clearance Kennington provides rubbish clearance and related waste management services. Our activities rely on a range of suppliers and subcontractors, including vehicle and equipment providers, waste transfer and recycling facilities, fuel suppliers, and labour and service providers. While we consider our sector to have areas of potential risk, especially where manual labour and subcontracting are involved, we are committed to managing and reducing these risks through structured controls.

Supplier Standards and Due Diligence

We aim to work only with suppliers and partners who uphold high standards of ethical conduct. As part of our due diligence processes, we assess new and existing suppliers to ensure they meet our expectations in relation to modern slavery. We inform suppliers that compliance with applicable labour laws and our anti-slavery standards is a fundamental condition of doing business with us.

Where appropriate, we ask suppliers to confirm that they have their own modern slavery policies or equivalent safeguards in place, and that they require similar standards from their own supply chains. We reserve the right to discontinue relationships with suppliers who fail to meet or maintain these standards.

Supplier Audits and Monitoring

Rubbish Clearance Kennington undertakes proportionate audits and monitoring of suppliers, with particular focus on higher-risk categories such as labour provision and waste handling services. These audits may include reviewing documentation, checking right-to-work information, and assessing working conditions at relevant sites where access is permitted.

Where concerns are identified, we will work with the supplier to agree a corrective action plan with clear timeframes. Failure to address identified risks or non-compliance may result in suspension or termination of the business relationship.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We encourage all employees, subcontractors, suppliers and members of the public to report any concerns or suspicions about modern slavery connected to Rubbish Clearance Kennington. Concerns can be raised directly with management in person, by telephone or in writing. We treat all reports sensitively and, where reasonably possible, confidentially.

No one who raises a concern in good faith will suffer any form of retaliation or detrimental treatment as a result of speaking up. All reports will be taken seriously, investigated promptly and, where appropriate, escalated to senior management and relevant external bodies.

Training and Awareness

We are committed to increasing awareness of modern slavery risks within our workforce. Relevant staff, including managers and those involved in procurement or supplier management, receive information and guidance on recognising potential indicators of modern slavery and the process for reporting concerns.

We aim to embed a culture where ethical conduct, respect for human rights and openness about concerns are part of everyday working practices across Rubbish Clearance Kennington.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least annually to ensure it remains accurate, effective and aligned with legal requirements and best practice. As part of the review, we consider any incidents reported, the outcomes of supplier audits, feedback from staff and suppliers, and any changes in our business or the wider regulatory environment.

Where necessary, we update our procedures, training and supplier requirements to strengthen our approach. Rubbish Clearance Kennington is committed to continuous improvement in the identification, prevention and mitigation of modern slavery risks within our business and supply chains.

This statement has been approved by the management of Rubbish Clearance Kennington and reflects our ongoing commitment to uphold human rights and protect vulnerable individuals from exploitation.
