Rubbish Clearance Bromley Modern Slavery Statement

Rubbish Clearance Bromley is committed to conducting all aspects of our business in an ethical and responsible manner. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. It applies to all employees, agency workers, contractors, and suppliers engaged by Rubbish Clearance Bromley.

Our Zero-Tolerance Approach

We have a strict zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, bonded labour, and child labour. We do not accept any form of exploitation, whether direct or indirect, and we expect the same commitment from all parties who work with or on behalf of Rubbish Clearance Bromley.

Every individual engaged by our business is required to be employed voluntarily, with the freedom to leave their employment in line with applicable laws and contractual terms. We do not tolerate threats, intimidation, or the withholding of wages, identity documents, or personal property as a means of control.

Our Supply Chain and Due Diligence

Our services rely on a network of suppliers, including waste transfer facilities, equipment providers, vehicle maintenance companies, and labour agencies. We are committed to understanding potential modern slavery risks within these relationships and taking effective steps to minimise them.

We conduct proportionate due diligence when engaging new suppliers and renewing existing arrangements. This may include assessing the supplier’s policies, requesting confirmation of their own modern slavery provisions, and ensuring contractual terms require compliance with all relevant legislation. We prioritise working with suppliers who demonstrate transparent employment practices and ethical standards.

Supplier Audits and Monitoring

Rubbish Clearance Bromley reserves the right to audit suppliers where there is a perceived or identified risk of modern slavery. Supplier audits may include site visits, document reviews, and discussions with management and workers to confirm that appropriate labour standards and working conditions are in place.

Where concerns are identified, we will work with suppliers to implement corrective actions within clear timeframes. If a supplier is unwilling or unable to address genuine concerns, we may suspend or terminate the relationship. Our intention is both to protect individuals at risk and to encourage continuous improvement throughout our supply chain.

Training, Awareness, and Responsibilities

Managers and staff involved in procurement, recruitment, and contract management are made aware of the signs of modern slavery and the procedures for escalating any concerns. Responsibilities for monitoring and implementing this statement sit with the leadership team, supported by relevant managers in operations and administration.

We encourage all employees, contractors, and suppliers to play an active role in identifying and preventing modern slavery. Everyone is expected to act with integrity and to question any working practices that appear unsafe, exploitative, or inconsistent with this statement.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Rubbish Clearance Bromley promotes an open culture in which concerns can be raised without fear of retaliation. Any employee, contractor, or supplier who suspects that modern slavery or human trafficking may be taking place within our business or supply chain is encouraged to report it immediately.

Concerns can be raised directly with a line manager or with a senior manager. Reports may be made confidentially, and all disclosures will be taken seriously, investigated promptly, and handled sensitively. We will not tolerate victimisation or detrimental treatment of anyone who raises a concern in good faith.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least once every year to ensure it remains current, effective, and aligned with legislative requirements and best practice. The review considers any incidents reported, audit findings, changes in our supply chain, and feedback from stakeholders.

Where improvements are identified, we will update our procedures, training, and supplier management processes accordingly. Through ongoing monitoring and regular review, Rubbish Clearance Bromley aims to continually strengthen our approach to preventing modern slavery and protecting the rights and dignity of all individuals who contribute to our services.
