Modern Slavery Statement — Commercial Waste Esher

Company team reviewing modern slavery policy documents Commercial Waste Esher is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our business and supply chain. This statement sets out our zero-tolerance approach to forced labour and exploitation across our Esher commercial waste operations and commercial waste services in Esher. Our policy applies to all employees, contractors and suppliers and underlines that we will not tolerate any form of modern slavery within our activities.

We maintain clear governance and oversight of anti-slavery measures. The board and senior management review our approach to eradicate risks associated with commercial waste in Esher and related operational sites. We require all teams to follow mandatory procedures for recruitment, vetting and working conditions, ensuring that staff are engaged fairly and with appropriate documentation. Transparency and accountability are core to how we manage supplier relationships.

The image displays two plastic containers used for recycling or rubbish collection, positioned on a plain white surface. The larger container on the left is lime green and features a recycling symbol cut-out on its side; it is filled with various empty plastic bottles, some clear and some in shades of blue and green, with textured surfaces indicating different types of beverage containers. The smaller blue basket on the right contains additional empty plastic bottles with clear and green hues, some lying sideways. To the right of these containers, there are several empty glass bottles in green and yellow tones, along with a small stack of crumpled newspapers or paper waste. The scene appears to be a controlled environment, possibly indoors, emphasizing the sorting and collection of recyclable materials, with a focus on plastic and glass waste typical of residential or commercial rubbish removal services such as those provided by Commercial Waste Esher, operating in the Surrey area near Esher. The lighting is even, highlighting the textures and colors of the bottles and papers, with no background distractions present.

Risk Assessment and Supplier Due Diligence

Our supplier selection and procurement procedures for Esher commercial waste include enhanced due diligence and risk assessment. We carry out supplier audits and use a tiered review process that identifies higher-risk suppliers for more frequent checks. The audits examine labour practices, subcontractor management and evidence of lawful employment. Supplier audits are documented and outcomes are used to inform continuous improvement plans.

We embed contractual commitments into contracts for commercial waste services in Esher. All suppliers must confirm compliance with our anti-slavery policy and accept that breaches may lead to contract termination. Our standard agreements include clauses requiring suppliers to permit audits, maintain records and report any suspected incidents. Contractual controls are a key mechanism to enforce our expectations and protect vulnerable workers.

The image shows the rear view of a medium-sized white van parked on a driveway next to a brick building with a blue garage door. The van's open tailgate reveals a load of various household and furniture items, including a brown patterned armchair with a floral design leaning against the left side, a smaller cushioned stool, and several cardboard boxes stacked near the interior's back wall. A yellow hand truck or dolly is positioned vertically, resting against the boxes, while a pink container with a lid and a black plastic bag are placed on the van's floor. To the right, a small black and silver portable generator and a mop or broom handle are visible. The scene suggests a removal of domestic clutter or furniture, consistent with rubbish or waste clearance services, and the surrounding environment includes a sidewalk with a grassy verge dotted with leafless trees, indicating the scene is during late autumn or winter in a residential area that could be in Esher or a similar town in Surrey. The setting is well-lit by daylight, emphasizing the contents within the vehicle and the residential surroundings.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We provide secure and accessible reporting channels for employees, suppliers and third parties to raise concerns about modern slavery and labour exploitation. Reports can be made confidentially and will be taken seriously. We operate an independent whistleblowing procedure and ensure that individuals are protected against any retaliation. All concerns are investigated promptly, proportionately and documented, with corrective action taken where necessary.

To support these channels we deliver targeted training for staff who manage contracts and operate at operational sites handling commercial waste in Esher. Training emphasises how to spot signs of exploitation and the steps to escalate concerns. We also promote ethical recruitment practices among our partners and require certification where applicable.

A collection of multiple large black rubbish bags, made of thick plastic with a glossy finish, are piled together on a grassy area near a stone wall. The bags are filled with waste material, causing them to appear bulging and irregularly shaped, some with visible creases and folds. They are positioned in the foreground, with the stone wall and some scattered small leaves and pebbles in the background, indicating an outdoor setting possibly in a residential or commercial premise in Esher. The bags are tightly sealed, suggesting they are ready for collection or disposal, consistent with rubbish removal services offered by companies like Commercial Waste Esher. The natural lighting highlights the sheen of the plastic and the texture of the grass and stones, emphasizing the practical and functional aspect of the waste collection process in a local environment. Monitoring, Remediation and Continuous Improvement are central to our response to modern slavery risks. When issues are identified through supplier audits or reporting, we implement remediation plans to protect victims and rectify processes. Remediation may include supplier improvement plans, worker support, and termination of relationships where suppliers fail to meet minimum standards. We measure the effectiveness of these actions through key performance indicators and regular reviews.

Our compliance team conducts periodic spot checks and uses data from supplier audits and operational reviews to refine our approach. We work collaboratively with industry partners and regulatory bodies to share best practice and to improve standards across the sector. This cooperative approach strengthens our ability to identify risks specific to Esher commercial waste activities.

The image shows a close-up of a green plastic rubbish bin filled with empty glass bottles, most of which are green with a few clear and dark brown ones. The bottles are of various sizes and shapes, some upright and others leaning or stacked against each other. The surface of the bottles reflects light, highlighting their clean, smooth textures. The background is plain and neutral, providing no additional environmental context. This composition relates to waste disposal and recycling services, typical of rubbish removal operations in the Esher area, supporting services offered by Commercial Waste Esher. The scene emphasizes the importance of properly managing glass waste as part of responsible rubbish collection practices. Annual Review and Board Oversight — This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least annually to ensure it remains effective and aligned with emerging risks and legislation. The senior leadership team reports on implementation, audit outcomes and remediation actions to the board. The annual review assesses progress, updates risk assessments and sets priorities for the coming year. By maintaining a cycle of review, training, audit and remediation, Commercial Waste Esher reinforces its commitment to eradicating modern slavery from its operations and supply chain.
