Modern Slavery Statement for Rubbish Removal Pimlico

Rubbish Removal Pimlico is committed to operating responsibly, ethically, and in full compliance with all relevant legislation relating to modern slavery and human trafficking. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery within our business operations and throughout our supply chains.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

We have a zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour, and exploitation. This applies to every aspect of our business, including direct employment, contracted services, and our wider supply chains. We will not knowingly work with any organisation that engages in, supports, or condones such practices.

All employees, contractors, and suppliers are expected to act with integrity and to uphold our values of fairness, respect, and transparency. Where any breach of this policy is identified, Rubbish Removal Pimlico will take immediate and appropriate action, which may include termination of contracts and reporting to the relevant authorities.

Our Business and Supply Chains

Rubbish Removal Pimlico provides waste collection, disposal, and associated services to residential, commercial, and public sector clients. Our supply chains include providers of vehicles, fuel, waste processing facilities, equipment, uniforms, and various professional and support services.

We recognise that certain sectors and regions may present a higher risk of modern slavery. We therefore apply a risk-based approach to the review of suppliers and contractors, prioritising due diligence where there is a greater potential for exploitation or poor labour practices.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

To minimise the risk of modern slavery within our supply chains, we undertake proportionate due diligence on new and existing suppliers. This includes assessing their policies, labour practices, and compliance with relevant legislation. We seek assurances that our suppliers operate lawful and ethical employment practices, provide safe working conditions, and respect the rights and dignity of workers.

Where appropriate, we conduct supplier audits or request evidence of their own modern slavery provisions and risk management processes. These checks may involve reviewing documentation, requesting declarations, or holding discussions to clarify expectations and standards. If suppliers are unable or unwilling to meet our requirements, we will review the relationship and may discontinue engagement.

Training, Awareness, and Responsibilities

Responsibility for the ongoing implementation of this Modern Slavery Statement lies with the senior management of Rubbish Removal Pimlico. Managers are expected to promote ethical conduct, ensure compliance within their teams, and address any concerns raised.

We aim to raise awareness of modern slavery indicators among relevant staff, particularly those involved in procurement, contract management, and on-site supervision. Employees are encouraged to remain vigilant and to report any behaviour or circumstances that may suggest exploitation or non-compliance with our standards.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Rubbish Removal Pimlico encourages employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders to speak up if they suspect modern slavery or unethical practices connected to our operations. Concerns can be raised through internal management channels, dedicated email or telephone contact points where available, or via our established whistleblowing procedures.

All reports will be treated seriously, handled sensitively, and, where possible, kept confidential. We will not tolerate victimisation or retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith. Where a credible concern is identified, we will investigate promptly and take appropriate corrective and remedial actions, including involving law enforcement or regulatory bodies when necessary.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

We recognise that combating modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility. Rubbish Removal Pimlico is committed to regularly reviewing and improving our practices, policies, and controls to ensure they remain effective and proportionate to the risks we face.

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed on an annual basis by our senior management team. As part of this review, we consider changes in legislation, our operational activities, supplier base, and industry best practice. Where necessary, we update our procedures and communicate any changes to employees and key suppliers to maintain alignment with our zero-tolerance approach.

By maintaining this clear stance and taking proactive steps across our business and supply chains, Rubbish Removal Pimlico seeks to play its part in eliminating modern slavery and protecting the rights and dignity of all workers connected to our services.
