Modern Slavery Statement — Commercial Waste Redhill
Commercial Waste Redhill confirms its commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking across all operations and the wider supply chain. This statement sets out the steps we take to eliminate forced labour, coercion and exploitation in our Redhill commercial waste services and associated activities. We recognise our responsibility to workers and communities and adopt a zero-tolerance policy to modern slavery.Zero-Tolerance Policy
Our zero-tolerance policy applies to all employees, contractors and suppliers engaged with Commercial Waste Redhill. We require every partner to act lawfully and ethically; non-compliance will result in remedial action up to contract termination. We will not tolerate any form of forced labour, debt bondage, or human trafficking in any part of the Redhill waste management supply chain. Compliance with this policy is a condition of engagement and procurement.
Suppliers and contractors to Commercial Waste Redhill are expected to adhere to clear standards. We use due diligence and risk-based supplier screening to identify potential exposure to modern slavery. Our approach includes:
- Contractual clauses that require compliance with anti-slavery laws;
- Pre-award assessments and supplier declarations;
- Regular monitoring of high-risk suppliers to verify labour standards.
Supplier Audits and Monitoring
We operate a structured audit programme for suppliers delivering Redhill commercial waste services and associated logistics. Audits combine document review, on-site inspections where feasible, and interviews with workers. Findings are recorded, and corrective action plans are agreed with suppliers. Audit frequency is risk-based: higher-risk suppliers are audited more frequently and may be subject to unannounced checks.
Reporting channels are accessible to all workers and third parties connected to our commercial waste redhill operations. We maintain secure and confidential mechanisms for raising concerns about labour practices, including anonymous reporting options. All reports are taken seriously, logged, and investigated promptly by our compliance team. We guarantee protection from retaliation for whistleblowers acting in good faith and provide support where necessary to safeguard vulnerable individuals.
Our investigation process follows clear steps: intake of the report, risk assessment, evidence gathering, corrective actions, and follow-up. Where allegations of modern slavery are substantiated, we will take decisive action, which may include working with authorities and terminating supplier relationships. We document lessons learned and incorporate them into ongoing supplier management.
Annual Review and Continuous Improvement
Commercial Waste Redhill conducts an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and associated policies. The review evaluates the effectiveness of our controls, supplier audits, and reporting channels, and it identifies opportunities for improvement. We monitor key performance indicators such as number of audits completed, incidents reported, and corrective actions implemented, and use these metrics to drive better outcomes across our waste services in Redhill and the surrounding areas.
Responsibilities for implementing this policy are allocated across senior management, procurement, and operations teams. We provide training and awareness sessions for staff and suppliers to ensure recognition of modern slavery risks and correct use of reporting channels. Embedding anti-slavery principles into procurement, contracting, and day-to-day operations is central to our approach.
We will continue to collaborate with industry peers, regulators, and stakeholders to strengthen approaches to preventing exploitation. Commercial Waste Redhill is committed to transparency, continual monitoring, and taking robust action where issues are identified. This statement is approved by senior leadership and will be reviewed annually to ensure ongoing relevance and effectiveness.
