Modern Slavery Statement — Business Waste Removal Queens Park

Business Waste Removal Queens Park is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms throughout our operations and supply chain. This statement sets out our approach to ensuring ethical labour practices in our Queens Park waste removal business and the steps we take to meet our obligations under relevant legislation and good practice. We publish this statement to be transparent about policies, controls and monitoring.

Our zero-tolerance policy is clear: we will not knowingly engage with suppliers, labour providers or partners who exploit workers or use forced, bonded or trafficked labour. All staff and contractors involved in running our business waste removal in Queens Park are made aware that exploitation and coercion are prohibited, and any breach will lead to disciplinary action, contract termination or legal referral.

We focus on continual improvement across our Kings Park and Queens Park refuse removal services by embedding compliance into procurement and operational processes. We require robust due diligence before engaging new suppliers and insist on contractual commitments to worker rights, safe working conditions and fair pay. Our procurement teams conduct document checks and follow up on any anomalies detected during onboarding.

To support the policy we operate a targeted programme of supplier audits and assessments. These audits include on-site inspections, worker interviews and review of payroll and time records to detect indicators of exploitation. Our supplier audit schedule prioritises higher-risk partners, such as third‑party labour providers and international recycling or disposal contractors linked to our Queens Park business waste removal activities.

Audit findings are recorded and acted upon: non-compliance generates corrective action plans with clear timescales, and persistent or serious violations result in suspension or termination. We also require suppliers to provide evidence of policies on recruitment fees, freedom of movement and grievance mechanisms so workers can raise issues without fear of reprisal.

Our approach is supported by

training and capacity building

across the organisation. Staff involved in collections, transfers and depot operations receive regular training on recognising signs of modern slavery, safe reporting practices and how to escalate concerns. We promote awareness within our community of clients and partners about responsible waste management and ethical supply chains.

We maintain multiple reporting channels so that employees, suppliers and members of the public can report suspected exploitation. Reports may be raised through internal whistleblowing lines, via line managers, or through designated compliance officers. Reports are investigated promptly, confidentially and with appropriate protections for whistleblowers.

Specifically, our reporting framework includes a clear process for intake, assessment, investigation and remediation. We record all reports, maintain evidence trails and liaise with law enforcement or specialist agencies when criminal activity is suspected. Our aim is to ensure victims receive support and that responsible parties are held to account.

Finally, this modern slavery statement is subject to an

annual review

and public re‑publication. Each year we evaluate the effectiveness of our policies, audit results, training outcomes and reporting statistics to refine our strategy. We commit to continual improvement in how Business Waste Removal Queens Park and related service lines identify risks, protect workers and prevent exploitation. Through rigorous supplier audits, open reporting channels, and an uncompromising zero-tolerance stance we strive to eliminate modern slavery from our operations and the wider waste removal sector.
