Rubbish Clearance Pimlico Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by Rubbish Clearance Pimlico to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to act ethically, with integrity and transparency in all business dealings, and to implement effective systems and controls to ensure that modern slavery does not occur in any part of our business.

Our Zero-Tolerance Approach

Rubbish Clearance Pimlico has a clear and unequivocal zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. This applies to all forms of forced labour, servitude, debt bondage, child labour, and any exploitation of vulnerable individuals. We are committed to conducting our waste management and rubbish clearance activities in a manner that respects human rights and upholds the dignity of every person involved in our operations.

All employees, contractors, agency workers, and suppliers are expected to uphold this commitment. Any breach of our zero-tolerance stance is treated as a serious violation of company policy and may result in disciplinary action, contract termination, or reporting to the relevant authorities.

Our Supply Chain and Risk Management

Our supply chain includes providers of vehicles, equipment, protective clothing, fuel, facilities, and professional services that support our rubbish clearance operations in Pimlico and surrounding areas. We acknowledge that certain sectors and geographies may present a higher risk of modern slavery and we continuously review these risks as part of our responsible procurement process.

We seek to work only with reputable suppliers who share our values. When selecting and reviewing suppliers, we consider evidence of ethical practices, labour standards, and compliance with relevant legislation and regulations relating to modern slavery and human rights.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

Rubbish Clearance Pimlico conducts proportionate due diligence and audits of key suppliers to identify, assess, and address potential modern slavery risks. This may include requesting information about their employment practices, reviewing relevant policies, and seeking confirmation of compliance with modern slavery legislation.

Where appropriate, we may conduct on-site visits or request independent audit reports to validate that suppliers provide safe working conditions, fair wages, lawful working hours, and freedom of movement and association. If any concerns are raised during these audits, we work with the supplier to implement corrective actions within clear timeframes. If issues are not resolved satisfactorily, we reserve the right to suspend or end the business relationship.

Raising Concerns and Reporting Channels

We encourage anyone working for or with Rubbish Clearance Pimlico to report any suspicion or evidence of modern slavery or human trafficking, whether within our own operations or our supply chain. Concerns can be raised directly with management, through our internal reporting procedures, or via confidential channels made available to staff and key suppliers.

We are committed to ensuring that individuals raising concerns in good faith will not suffer harassment, retaliation, or detrimental treatment. All reports are taken seriously, investigated promptly, and addressed with appropriate remedial action. Where necessary, we will cooperate with law enforcement and relevant authorities.

Training, Awareness, and Responsibilities

Managers and team leaders are responsible for promoting awareness of modern slavery risks and ensuring that our policies are understood and followed. We provide relevant training and guidance to employees involved in procurement, supplier management, and on-site supervision, helping them to recognise warning signs and respond appropriately.

Every employee has a role to play in upholding our ethical standards. We expect all staff to remain vigilant, to respect human rights in their daily work, and to speak up if they suspect any form of exploitation.

Monitoring, Review, and Continuous Improvement

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, up to date, and aligned with our operational practices and legal obligations. As part of this review, we consider feedback from staff and suppliers, findings from audits, and any incidents or concerns raised during the year.

Rubbish Clearance Pimlico is committed to continuous improvement in preventing modern slavery. We will strengthen our policies, training, and supplier engagement as necessary, so that our rubbish clearance services are delivered responsibly, ethically, and with full respect for the rights and wellbeing of all people involved.
