Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement — Purley Skip Hire

Purley Skip Hire publishes this Modern Slavery Statement to set out our approach to preventing modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking across our operations and supply chains. This Purley Skip Hire modern slavery statement reflects our zero-tolerance policy towards any form of exploitation and confirms our commitment to continuous improvement in responsible business practices.

We operate a clear and enforceable anti-slavery policy that applies to all staff, contractors and business partners. Our Purley Skip Hire anti-slavery policy requires that modern slavery is not present in employment, recruitment, transportation or service delivery. We promote awareness through training and ensure every team member understands their responsibilities.

As part of this modern slavery statement for Purley Skip Hire, we publish the steps we take to identify, prevent and address risks. We require suppliers to comply with our standards and to represent that they do not engage in modern slavery or trafficking. Our contractual arrangements include clauses enabling audits, corrective action and termination for non-compliance.

We carry out ongoing risk assessments across our waste management, skip hire and related services to prioritise areas that might be vulnerable to exploitation. This Purley Skip Hire slavery statement identifies higher-risk activities such as subcontracted labour for collection, seasonal or temporary work, and low-skilled roles where vulnerabilities may be greatest.

Our due diligence process includes pre-engagement screening and periodic checks. We require new suppliers to provide evidence of compliance with employment law and ethical labour standards. We also use targeted questionnaires and require documentation for worker rights, pay, and working conditions where appropriate.

To support these efforts we maintain clear reporting channels and whistleblowing routes. Employees and contractors are encouraged to report concerns through confidential internal reporting mechanisms. Reports are taken seriously, investigated promptly and handled with sensitivity and confidentiality.

Supplier Audits and Monitoring: We operate a supplier audit programme to verify compliance with our anti-slavery expectations. Audits may be desktop or on-site and focus on recruitment practices, payroll records, working hours, housing arrangements (if provided) and subcontracting arrangements.

Our approach to supplier management includes:

• Contractual obligations requiring adherence to our standards;
• Periodic audits and risk-based inspections;
• Remediation plans for identified issues and the right to terminate relationships in severe cases.

Reporting channels are accessible and varied: internal HR, line managers, nominated compliance officers and anonymous reporting routes. We encourage workers, subcontractors and third parties to report concerns without fear of retaliation. All reports feed into a formal investigation protocol and are used to update risk assessments and corrective measures.

We provide regular training to employees and management to raise awareness of modern slavery indicators and appropriate responses. Training materials cover recruitment best practices, recognising signs of coercion or exploitation, and how to escalate concerns. Purley Skip Hire's training is reviewed and refreshed to remain effective.

Our communications reinforce that the company maintains a zero-tolerance policy for modern slavery. We disseminate policy updates to suppliers and incorporate anti-slavery expectations into procurement processes, tender documentation and supply chain engagement.

We commit to an annual review of this statement, assessing the effectiveness of our policies, due diligence, supplier audits and reporting mechanisms. The annual review informs improvements to our modern slavery and human trafficking statement for Purley Skip Hire and guides future actions to reduce risks across our operations.

Governance for these matters sits with senior management who oversee policy application and compliance. We will continue to update our Purley Skip Hire Statement on Modern Slavery to reflect legislative changes, stakeholder feedback and lessons learned from audits and investigations.

In summary, Purley Skip Hire maintains a strong stance against modern slavery, operates supplier audits, provides multiple reporting channels, and conducts an annual review to ensure ongoing improvement and accountability across our business and supply chain.

Signed off by the board, this statement will be reviewed annually and updated when necessary to ensure that our anti-slavery commitments remain robust and effective.
