Modern Slavery Statement — Skip Hire Fulham

Skip Hire Fulham is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms across our operations and supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to ensure that our Fulham skip hire operations, contractors and suppliers operate to the highest ethical standards. We operate a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and forced labour, and we require the same from our partners and third parties.

We recognise our responsibility as a local provider of skip hire in Fulham and broader waste management services. Our policies apply to all employees, temporary workers, sub-contractors and suppliers engaged in skip hire Fulham services. We do not tolerate any form of forced labour, servitude, or exploitation. Any breach of these principles will result in prompt action, including termination of contracts and referral to appropriate authorities where necessary.

Our Commitments and Policies

Our commitments include clear policies embedded into procurement and operational processes for Fulham skip hire. These include:

• Zero-tolerance policy: A formal written policy that prohibits modern slavery across all our activities.
• Supplier expectations: Contractual clauses requiring suppliers to comply with anti-slavery laws and to adopt equivalent safeguards.
• Employee awareness: Mandatory training and communications to ensure staff recognise and report potential signs of exploitation.

Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

We conduct risk-based due diligence across our supply chain for skip-hire Fulham operations. This includes pre-qualification checks and ongoing monitoring of suppliers. High-risk suppliers are subject to enhanced scrutiny, including documentation reviews and on-site visits where feasible. Our supplier audit process evaluates:

• Evidence of employment contracts and lawful recruitment practices.
• Working hours, wage records and welfare provisions for workers.
• Subcontractor management and transparency of labour sourcing.

Where audits identify concerns, we require corrective action plans and will follow up to ensure remediation. If suppliers do not commit to improvements or if violations persist, we will cease business relationships to protect worker rights and our ethical standards.

We work collaboratively with industry groups and local stakeholders to strengthen protections for vulnerable workers in the waste and recycling sector. As a provider of Fulham skip hire, we also encourage suppliers to share best practices and to participate in joint initiatives to improve living and working conditions across the value chain.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Reporting suspected modern slavery is a vital part of our response. We maintain multiple confidential reporting channels so employees, subcontractors, suppliers and the public can raise concerns without fear of retaliation. These channels include anonymous reporting mechanisms, an internal investigations route and designated senior contacts responsible for safeguarding and compliance. Reports are investigated promptly and impartially, with support offered to potential victims.

Training and internal controls underpin our approach. All staff involved in recruitment, procurement and supplier management undertake regular training on identifying risks and on our referral processes. Procurement teams include slavery and human trafficking risk criteria in tendering and contract management for all skip hire in Fulham and related services.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

We review this Modern Slavery Statement and associated policies at least once a year. The annual review includes assessment of supplier audit outcomes, reported incidents, training completion rates and the effectiveness of reporting channels. Findings inform updates to policy, process and resource allocation. Skip Hire Fulham is committed to continual improvement, increased transparency and collaborative action to eradicate modern slavery from our operations and the broader skip hire industry.

Approval and Governance: The Board and senior management endorse this statement and the actions it describes. Responsibility for implementation sits with designated compliance and operations leads who report progress through our governance structures.

By integrating robust supplier audits, accessible reporting channels, a strict zero-tolerance policy and a formal annual review cycle, Skip Hire Fulham aims to prevent exploitation and ensure ethical, responsible waste services across Fulham and beyond.
