Get a quoteRubbish Clearance Swiss Cottage is committed to conducting all aspects of our business ethically, transparently, and with respect for the fundamental rights and freedoms of every individual. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps we take to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains.
We operate on a clear and uncompromising zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, servitude, and human trafficking. This applies to every area of our business, including our own workforce, subcontractors, and all levels of our supply chain.
We expect everyone who works with or for Rubbish Clearance Swiss Cottage to share this commitment. Any breach or suspected breach of our zero-tolerance approach will be treated seriously and may result in the termination of contracts or working relationships, as well as reporting to relevant authorities where appropriate.
Rubbish Clearance Swiss Cottage provides waste removal and rubbish clearance services to residential and commercial customers. Our supply chain includes suppliers of vehicles, equipment, fuel, uniforms, waste processing services, and other ancillary services that support our operations.
We recognise that certain sectors and geographies pose higher risks of labour exploitation. As such, we focus our due diligence and monitoring efforts on suppliers and contractors operating in higher risk categories, including those providing labour-intensive services or lower-skilled work.
We are committed to working only with suppliers and subcontractors who uphold standards consistent with our own. To support this, we:
Require suppliers to comply with all applicable labour, human rights, and health and safety laws and to confirm that they do not tolerate modern slavery or human trafficking within their operations.
Incorporate clauses in supplier and subcontractor agreements that prohibit the use of forced, compulsory, or trafficked labour, and require transparency in their own supply chains.
Carry out proportionate supplier checks and audits, which may include questionnaires, requests for supporting documentation, and where appropriate, site visits or other verification activities.
Reserve the right to suspend or end relationships with any supplier or subcontractor that is found to be, or is reasonably suspected of being, involved in modern slavery or unable to adequately address identified concerns.
We encourage a culture of openness, where concerns about modern slavery or unethical practices can be raised without fear of retaliation. All employees, contractors, and other stakeholders are urged to report any suspicion or knowledge of modern slavery related to our business or supply chains.
Concerns can be raised directly with line managers or senior management, or through dedicated internal reporting channels such as email or telephone. Reports will be treated sensitively and, where possible, confidentially. No one will suffer any detrimental treatment for raising a concern in good faith, even if it is not ultimately substantiated.
All reports of suspected modern slavery will be promptly investigated. Where necessary, we will work with suppliers, authorities, or other relevant bodies to address and remediate any issues identified.
We aim to ensure that relevant staff, particularly those involved in procurement, contract management, and supplier oversight, understand the risks of modern slavery and how to identify and respond to potential indicators.
We provide guidance and awareness materials so that team members know how to recognise warning signs and how to escalate concerns appropriately. We continue to review our training and awareness initiatives to ensure they remain effective and proportionate.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least annually by the management of Rubbish Clearance Swiss Cottage to ensure it remains accurate, effective, and aligned with legal requirements and best practice.
As part of our annual review, we assess the effectiveness of our policies, supplier checks, and reporting mechanisms. We consider any incidents reported, audit findings, changes in legislation, and emerging guidance. Where necessary, we update our procedures and enhance our controls to further reduce the risk of modern slavery within our operations and supply chains.
By maintaining a robust zero-tolerance stance, undertaking supplier audits, providing clear reporting channels, and conducting regular reviews, Rubbish Clearance Swiss Cottage strives to ensure that our business plays a positive role in the wider effort to eradicate modern slavery and human trafficking.
