Camden Skip Hire Modern Slavery Statement

Camden Skip Hire publishes this Modern Slavery Statement to affirm our enduring commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. This anti-slavery declaration sets out the principles and actions we take to ensure that our services are delivered without exploitation. We recognise that producing a thorough modern slavery policy is a core responsibility and we act with transparency and determination.

We operate with a zero-tolerance policy towards forced labour, debt bondage, servitude and human trafficking. Our teams are trained to recognise signs of exploitation and to escalate concerns promptly. Camden Skip Hire adopts clear procurement standards and expects all partners and contractors to align with our anti-exploitation standards. We include anti-slavery clauses in contracts and require suppliers to comply with our code of conduct.

As part of our slavery and human trafficking statement activities, we perform regular supplier due diligence. We prioritise suppliers based on risk factors such as geography, labour intensity and subcontracting layers. High-risk suppliers undergo deeper vetting, and we document findings and corrective actions. Our purchasing teams maintain records of supplier checks and ensure remedial steps where non-compliance is identified.

We implement a programme of supplier audits and on-site inspections to validate compliance. Audits focus on working hours, wage practices, recruitment processes and the presence of any coercive practices. Where issues are uncovered we require corrective action plans and monitor progress to completion. These supplier audits are integral to our ongoing modern slavery prevention work and form part of procurement contract renewal criteria.

Camden Skip Hire also emphasises internal controls and employee awareness. Our Workplace Safeguarding and Procurement teams collaborate to deliver refresher training and awareness campaigns. Staff are instructed to report concerns through established reporting channels and are supported by a non-retaliation approach. We maintain records of training attendance and continually update materials to reflect emerging risks and regulatory expectations.

We maintain clear reporting channels so that employees, suppliers and third parties can raise concerns confidentially. Reports can be made via internal reporting lines and anonymous whistleblowing mechanisms. All reports are investigated promptly and fairly, and remedial action is taken where necessary. This reporting framework underpins our strong stance against modern slavery and supports continuous improvement.

To ensure continuous governance, our senior management conducts regular reviews of our anti-slavery initiatives. This includes assessing the effectiveness of supplier audits, monitoring the number and nature of reports, and ensuring corrective measures are implemented. The Board receives periodic summaries, and responsibilities are assigned to senior leads to drive accountability across the business.

Our key actions include:

• Zero-tolerance stance: immediate action where exploitation is suspected.
• Supplier audits: risk-based audits and corrective action tracking.
• Reporting channels: confidential and anonymous reporting routes for concerns.
• Training and awareness: mandatory induction and refresher training across teams.

We commit to an annual review of this anti-slavery statement and related policies. The annual review evaluates policy effectiveness, supplier compliance trends and emerging risks, and updates our approach accordingly. Where gaps are identified, we revise procedures, enhance supplier engagement and invest in further training. This annual assessment ensures our slavery and human trafficking statement remains living and effective.
