Modern Slavery Statement for Commercial Waste Camberley

Commercial Waste Camberley is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations and supply chain. We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, bonded labour, human trafficking or child exploitation. This statement sets out our approach, responsibilities and ongoing actions as a Camberley commercial waste provider, and explains how we seek to identify and eliminate risks across our business activities.

This statement applies to all employees, contractors and third-party suppliers that deliver commercial waste services in Camberley or engage with our procurement processes. We expect the same high standards from our suppliers and partners. All contracts include clauses that prohibit modern slavery and require compliance with relevant laws. We will not tolerate breaches and will take decisive action where evidence is found.

Supplier Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

We conduct risk-based due diligence on our supply chain to identify potential modern slavery risks. Our process for commercial waste suppliers in Camberley includes pre-qualification checks, evaluation of labour practices, and contract terms that mandate adherence to ethical employment standards. Where elevated risk is identified, we carry out targeted supplier audits and site visits to verify working conditions and employment records.

Our supplier audit programme includes:

• Review of documented policies and employment contracts;
• On-site inspections and worker interviews where appropriate;
• Verification of right-to-work, wage records and hours worked;
• Corrective action plans and follow-up audits for non-compliance.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We provide multiple confidential reporting channels for employees, contractors and third parties to raise concerns about suspected modern slavery or unethical treatment. Reports are taken seriously, investigated promptly and handled with sensitivity and confidentiality. All reports are documented, and we protect whistleblowers from retaliation. Where allegations are substantiated, we will pursue immediate remediation and cooperate with relevant authorities.

To ensure transparency, our investigations are led by trained compliance officers and include cross-functional input from procurement, HR and operations. We emphasise training on how to recognise signs of exploitation and how to report concerns within our workforce and among our partner network for Camberley commercial waste management.

Remediation and corrective action form a key part of our response framework. If modern slavery is identified, Commercial Waste Camberley will require immediate corrective measures from the supplier, including improvement plans, worker redress and, where necessary, termination of contracts. We support victims and seek to collaborate with specialists and authorities to ensure appropriate recovery and compensation while prioritising safety and dignity.

Governance and accountability are central to the effectiveness of this policy. Senior management, including our board-level representatives, oversee compliance with this statement. Responsibilities for implementation are allocated across procurement, operations and human resources, and performance is measured through key risk indicators specific to the commercial waste sector in Camberley.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement: We commit to an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and our anti-slavery programme. The review covers supplier audit outcomes, reported incidents, training completion rates and remediation effectiveness. Findings will drive continuous improvement, including enhanced supplier monitoring, revised contractual protections and updated staff training. We will publicly reaffirm our commitment annually and adjust our approach as risks evolve.

In summary, Commercial Waste Camberley maintains a zero-tolerance stance on modern slavery, enforces robust supplier audits, provides secure reporting channels, and undertakes an annual review to ensure continuous improvement. We are dedicated to ethical supply chain management and to protecting the rights and welfare of all workers involved in commercial waste collection, processing and disposal across the Camberley area.
