Modern Slavery Statement — Knightsbridge Skip Hire

Knightsbridge Skip Hire presents this Modern Slavery Statement to affirm our enduring commitment to preventing forced labour, human trafficking and other forms of exploitation throughout our operations and supply chain. This modern slavery and human trafficking statement explains our approach to identifying and addressing risk, and sets out our zero-tolerance stance. We apply a consistent modern slavery policy across service delivery, procurement and contractors, and we expect the same standards from our business partners.

We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards slavery and human trafficking. This zero-tolerance approach is embedded in our employment practices, procurement terms and contractor agreements. All employees and contractors are required to adhere to our code of conduct and to report concerns. We make clear that any form of coercion, withholding of pay, restriction of movement or deceptive recruitment will not be tolerated and will trigger immediate investigation and appropriate sanctions.

Our scope includes direct operations, subcontractors, suppliers of goods and services and third-party logistics. We recognise that the greatest risk of modern slavery in the waste management and skip hire sector can arise in ancillary services, seasonal labour, subcontracted transport and indirect labour supplied through agencies. To address this, we undertake targeted supplier audits and due diligence, prioritising higher-risk categories and jurisdictions in our modern slavery risk assessment.

Supplier due diligence and supplier audits are central to our approach. We conduct proportionate risk-based checks and ongoing monitoring of key suppliers. Our audit and review activities include:

• document verification and contractual clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery laws;
• site visits and third-party verification where risk indicators are present;
• evaluation of recruitment practices, wage and hour records, and worker documentation.

Findings are addressed through corrective action plans, and persistent non-compliance can lead to termination of the business relationship.

Reporting Channels and Protection

We maintain clear reporting channels to ensure concerns about modern slavery can be raised safely. Employees, contractors and external stakeholders are encouraged to report suspicions through internal channels, anonymous reporting mechanisms and through appointed safeguarding officers. Reports are treated confidentially and investigated promptly. We emphasise protection for whistleblowers and strictly prohibit retaliation. Reports trigger risk assessment, immediate safeguards for potential victims and appropriate remediation.

Our procurement and contractual frameworks contain explicit anti-slavery clauses and require suppliers to cooperate with audits and remedial measures. We include training for procurement teams and site managers to identify indicators of forced labour, exploitative recruitment, debt bondage and other red flags. Recruitment standards include verification of identity, transparent pay terms and documented consent for any deductions to prevent exploitative practices.

Monitoring, metrics and escalation pathways are used to measure effectiveness. Key performance indicators include the number of supplier audits completed, corrective actions implemented, and training hours delivered. We report findings internally to senior management and use contractual escalation where suppliers fail to meet the required standards. Where modern slavery or trafficking is suspected, we take immediate remedial action and collaborate with appropriate authorities and specialist support services as required.

Annual review and continuous improvement underpin our assurance framework. We commit to an annual review of this Knightsbridge Skip Hire modern slavery policy and statement, assessing risk, outcomes of supplier audits, training effectiveness and reports received. The annual review is overseen by senior leadership and informs policy updates, resource allocation and further risk mitigation steps. We publish and act on lessons learned to strengthen our slavery and human trafficking statement over time.

In conclusion, our modern slavery statement for Knightsbridge Skip Hire reaffirms a firm, uncompromising stance against exploitation. We maintain robust supplier audits, clear reporting channels, protective measures for whistleblowers and a scheduled annual review to ensure continuous improvement. Through these measures — combined with contractual obligations, training and proportional enforcement — we strive to ensure our operations and supply chain are free from forced labour and human trafficking. This slavery and human trafficking statement is reviewed and updated to reflect evolving risks and to drive accountability across our business.
