Modern Slavery Statement — Wembley Skip Hire
Wembley Skip Hire is committed to the highest standards of ethical conduct and transparency. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our approach to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our operations and supply chain. We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, bonded labour, human trafficking or exploitation. Our commitment is company-wide and applies to every colleague, contractor and partner that works with Wembley skip-hire operations.
We recognise the duty to conduct thorough due diligence across our services and to use our position as a provider of waste removal, skips and recycling solutions to influence positive change. Wembley skip hire policies require suppliers and sub-contractors to meet minimum standards and to demonstrate their compliance through documentation, contractual clauses and proactive evidence. This statement describes the policies, risk assessments, supplier audits and reporting channels we maintain to uphold worker rights and human dignity.
Our zero-tolerance policy is underpinned by clear contractual requirements and ongoing monitoring. We expect all suppliers of skips, vehicles, waste processing and site labour to adhere to local and international labour standards. Breaches of our anti-slavery requirements trigger contractual remedies and may result in immediate termination of relationship. Wembley skips and waste service partners are required to declare labour practices, working hours, pay arrangements and recruitment processes.
We carry out regular supplier audits that combine desktop checks, on-site inspections and third-party verifications. Audits include review of payroll records, interview sampling of workers, verification of recruitment fees and assessment of accommodation where applicable. Our supplier audit program is risk-based: higher risk suppliers and geographies are audited more frequently. Wembley waste services procurement teams use this evidence to inform approval and continued engagement.
We maintain multiple reporting channels to enable safe, confidential and effective escalation of concerns. Employees, contractors and external stakeholders can report suspected modern slavery via internal reporting lines, anonymous hotlines and designated compliance contacts. Reports are investigated swiftly and with appropriate protection for whistleblowers. All reports lead to documented investigations and corrective actions where necessary, and serious issues are escalated to senior management.
To reinforce compliance we provide mandatory training for staff involved in procurement, operations and site management. Training covers identification of modern slavery indicators, proper reporting, supplier engagement and contract clauses. We also require key suppliers to provide evidence of their own worker training and policies. Our approach combines preventative, detective and remedial measures to reduce the risk of modern slavery across the supply chain.
Our procurement standards include explicit contractual obligations for recruitment practices, prohibition of recruitment fees, and clear payment terms to reduce vulnerability to exploitation. We collaborate with industry bodies and peers to share best practice and strengthen industry-wide responses. Where remedial action is necessary, we comply with legal and ethical remediation principles that prioritise the welfare and remediation of affected workers.
The Wembley skip-hire compliance team conducts an annual review of our modern slavery approach and publishes updates to senior leadership. The annual review assesses the effectiveness of supplier audits, the volume and nature of reports received through reporting channels, and changes in risk across our operations. Findings feed into continuous improvement actions including enhanced due diligence, expanded audit coverage and targeted training.
This Modern Slavery Statement is approved by the Board and will be reviewed at least once every year. We remain steadfast in our commitment to eliminate modern slavery within Wembley Skip Hire and throughout our supplier network, ensuring every part of our operations reflects our core values of respect, safety and integrity.
