Modern Slavery Statement — Commercial Waste Twickenham

Commercial Waste Twickenham operates with a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. This modern slavery statement sets out our firm commitments, the scope of our responsibilities and the practical steps our twickenham commercial waste business takes to prevent exploitation across operations and supply chains. We recognise that preventing modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility and we will not tolerate forced labour, bonded labour, child labour or any forms of exploitation in our commercial waste services Twickenham or in the activities of our suppliers and subcontractors.

Our policy applies to all employees, contractors and partners engaged by the commercial waste company Twickenham and extends to agents and recruitment providers acting on our behalf. We require adherence to national and international standards and expect all suppliers to comply with legal requirements and ethical employment practices. All contracts and procurement documentation include clauses that reflect our commitment and provide the legal basis for action where breaches are identified.

To identify and reduce risk we carry out proportionate due diligence and supplier audits. Key elements include:

• Regular supplier risk assessments covering labour practices, working hours and living conditions;
• On-site audits of high-risk suppliers in the waste management Twickenham sector and remote checks for others;
• Contractual terms requiring transparency and prompt remediation where issues are found.

Our due diligence process for the twickenham commercial waste supply chain combines documentation review, third-party checks and bespoke screening for geographical and sector-specific risk. We use risk indicators to prioritise suppliers for deep-dive audits and require corrective action plans where necessary. We are committed to continuous improvement and to working collaboratively with suppliers to eliminate exploitative practices.

Reporting channels are available to all staff and workers across our commercial waste services Twickenham network. We maintain confidential channels and encourage reporting through safe, anonymous mechanisms. Reports can be made without fear of retaliation; we emphasize that protections are in place and that whistleblowers will be treated fairly and supported. The processes include internal reporting, escalation to senior management and, where appropriate, referral to enforcement agencies.

To support understanding of the risks and our expectations we deliver regular training for employees and frontline managers. Training covers recognising signs of modern slavery, how to respond to disclosures and the importance of thorough documentation. We require staff involved in procurement and supplier management to complete enhanced training focused on supplier audits and remediation processes. Compliance is monitored and completion of training modules is mandatory.

We ensure clear accountability at all levels of our commercial waste Twickenham operations. Senior leadership reviews compliance performance and approves resource allocation for audit activity. Operational managers are responsible for implementing corrective actions and maintaining records. We use performance indicators linked to supplier audit outcomes and remediation progress to track effectiveness.

Our reporting channels and dispute resolution mechanisms include confidential internal reporting lines and a commitment to act promptly on credible allegations. We investigate all reports thoroughly and take proportionate remedial steps, which may include contract termination, worker support, or escalation to authorities. We document investigations and share lessons learned across the business to prevent recurrence.

This statement is subject to an annual review and will be updated to reflect changing risks and improvements in our provider oversight. Each year the board reviews policy effectiveness, audit results and remediation outcomes and sets a plan for the upcoming 12 months. Commercial Waste Twickenham remains resolute in its commitment to eradicate modern slavery within our services and supply chains and will continue to strengthen supplier audits, reporting channels and employee awareness to ensure ongoing compliance.
