This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps Rubbish Clearance Tooting takes to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. We operate in the waste management and rubbish clearance sector and recognise our responsibility to act ethically, transparently, and with integrity in all our business dealings.
Modern slavery is a severe violation of fundamental human rights. It can appear in many forms including forced labour, bonded labour, child labour, servitude, and human trafficking. Rubbish Clearance Tooting is committed to ensuring that modern slavery has no place in our business or the businesses of those who supply goods and services to us.
Our Zero-Tolerance Policy
Rubbish Clearance Tooting has a strict zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. This policy applies to all employees, agency staff, contractors, and suppliers, regardless of the size or location of their operations.
All individuals working for or on behalf of Rubbish Clearance Tooting are expected to uphold the highest standards of ethics and conduct. Any form of exploitation, coercion, or abuse will not be tolerated. We will take immediate and decisive action where we identify or reasonably suspect any breach of this policy, which may include terminating contracts and reporting concerns to the appropriate authorities.
Our Supply Chain and Supplier Audits
Our supply chain includes suppliers of equipment, vehicles, protective clothing, office services, and subcontracted labour for waste removal activities. We understand that risks of modern slavery can arise at various points in these supply chains, particularly where low-skilled or manual labour is involved.
To reduce these risks, Rubbish Clearance Tooting is committed to assessing and monitoring our suppliers. We conduct due diligence checks before entering into new supplier relationships, including reviewing labour practices, health and safety procedures, and right-to-work arrangements. Where appropriate, we may request evidence of compliance with modern slavery legislation or equivalent standards.
We reserve the right to carry out audits or inspections of suppliers and subcontractors to verify that they adhere to our zero-tolerance policy. These audits may include site visits, document reviews, and discussions with staff to ensure that working conditions are fair, lawful, and free from exploitation.
Employee Awareness and Reporting Channels
Rubbish Clearance Tooting promotes a culture where concerns about modern slavery can be raised without fear of retaliation. All staff are encouraged to report any suspicion of modern slavery or unethical conduct, whether it relates to our own operations or those of our suppliers.
Reports can be made directly to line managers or to designated members of management responsible for compliance and ethical standards. Concerns will be treated seriously, handled sensitively, and investigated promptly. Where necessary, we will involve external authorities to ensure appropriate action is taken.
We make our expectations clear to employees through internal communications and guidance on recognising signs of exploitation, such as unreasonable working hours, withholding of wages or identity documents, or restricted freedom of movement.
Continuous Improvement and Annual Review
Rubbish Clearance Tooting is committed to continuous improvement in our approach to tackling modern slavery. We recognise that risks and best practice evolve over time, and we are determined to keep our policies and procedures up to date and effective.
This Modern Slavery Statement will be reviewed annually by senior management. The review will consider any reported incidents, audit findings, changes in legislation, and feedback from employees and suppliers. Where necessary, we will update our policies, strengthen our controls, and provide further training or guidance.
By publishing this statement, Rubbish Clearance Tooting reaffirms its firm commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our work. We expect the same commitment from everyone connected with our business and will continue to take robust steps to safeguard the rights and dignity of all workers.
