Modern Slavery Statement — Skip Hire Lambeth

Skip Hire Lambeth operates with a clear and unequivocal zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour. As a local provider of skip hire in Lambeth and surrounding areas, our duty is to ensure that all aspects of our skip-hire Lambeth services are free from exploitation. This statement explains how we identify, prevent and respond to risks across our operations and supply chains.

We recognise that modern slavery can manifest in many forms, including debt bondage, involuntary work and the withholding of wages. Skip Hire Lambeth acknowledges this risk within waste management, transport and ancillary services and has implemented measures to reduce those risks. Our policy applies to all staff, contractors and suppliers associated with Lambeth skip hire projects.

Our zero tolerance approach is supported by clear leadership and accountability. Senior management oversee compliance and report annually on progress. We ask every supplier and subcontractor to confirm adherence to our standards before engagement and to join us in promoting ethical labour practices across the sector.

Supplier due diligence and audits form a cornerstone of our anti-slavery strategy. We conduct risk-based supplier assessments at onboarding and periodically thereafter, focusing on high-risk categories such as temporary labour, logistics and waste handling. Where risks are identified, we perform targeted audits, review employment records and verify working conditions.

Our supplier audit process includes documented checks and corrective action plans. We work with suppliers to implement improvements and, when necessary, escalate non-compliance. In cases of serious or repeated breaches, contracts may be terminated. These steps ensure that our supply chain for skip hire in Lambeth maintains expected ethical standards.

To support improvements we provide guidance and training to partners and internal teams. Training covers the identification of exploitation indicators, proper record-keeping and the legal obligations of employers and recruiters used across Lambeth skip-hire operations.

Reporting channels are confidential and accessible. Employees, contractors and third parties are encouraged to raise concerns without fear of retaliation via established internal routes. We provide clear instructions on how to report suspected modern slavery and ensure reports are investigated promptly and discreetly. All allegations are treated seriously and acted upon.

Our reporting framework is complemented by partnership working with local enforcement agencies and charities where required. We aim to support victims and to cooperate fully with investigations while protecting the rights of all parties. Where abuse is found, we take decisive action to safeguard individuals and remediate harm.

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least once every year as part of our annual review cycle. The review considers audit findings, incident reports, evolving legal requirements and stakeholder feedback to improve prevention and remediation measures. The annual review ensures the statement and associated policies remain current and effective for all Lambeth skip hire activities.

Key elements of our programme include:

• Zero-tolerance policy enforced across operations
• Risk-based supplier audits and due diligence
• Confidential reporting channels and timely investigations

We continue to build capacity within the business and with partners to strengthen ethical procurement and operational practices. Our approach to Lambeth skip hire combines compliance, education and collaborative action to reduce the risk of modern slavery in all forms.

By maintaining vigilance, enforcing contract standards, and conducting regular audit cycles, Skip-Hire Lambeth remains committed to protecting workers and the community. This statement will be reissued following each annual review to reflect progress and any enhancements to our policies and procedures.
