Modern Slavery Statement — Commercial Waste Marylebone

Commercial Waste Marylebone commits to the highest standards of ethical behaviour across all operations. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out how our Marylebone commercial waste services and related supply chains are assessed and managed to prevent forced labour, human trafficking and other forms of modern slavery. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy to any form of exploitation and are determined to ensure our commercial waste activities uphold human rights and dignity.

Zero-Tolerance Policy and Corporate Commitment

Our leadership team has adopted a clear zero-tolerance approach. Commercial Waste Marylebone Ltd requires that all employees, contractors and suppliers comply with our policies, which are embedded in procurement, contracting and operational practices. We require adherence to applicable labour laws, fair wages, reasonable working hours and safe working conditions. We also provide mandatory training to staff who manage waste contracts to ensure they can spot and respond to potential indicators of modern slavery.

Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

We carry out robust due diligence on our supply chain for Marylebone commercial waste services. This includes supplier pre-qualification checks, risk-based assessments and periodic audits. Audits include documentary evidence reviews and on-site visits where appropriate. Our supplier code of conduct sets expectations and contractual clauses enable termination for breaches related to forced labour. We monitor compliance through a mixture of scheduled and surprise audits and escalate any concerns for immediate remediation.

To ensure transparent oversight we maintain multiple reporting channels. Stakeholders can report suspected modern slavery through anonymous and confidential mechanisms overseen by our ethics committee. Reports are triaged and investigated promptly, ensuring protection for whistleblowers. We emphasize confidentiality and support for affected individuals while taking decisive action against any party found to be in breach of our standards.

Key Measures and Controls include:

• Risk assessments across procurement categories specific to commercial waste and haulage partners;
• Contractual requirements with right-to-audit clauses and clear remediation pathways;
• Regular supplier audits and targeted inspections of high-risk subcontractors;
• Staff training and awareness campaigns focused on identifying indicators of exploitation.

We also operate a robust remediation framework. Where modern slavery risks are identified, our priority is to secure the safety and welfare of affected people while cooperating with law enforcement and relevant authorities. We pursue corrective actions with suppliers, which may include improvement plans, suspension or termination of contracts. Our approach balances accountability with the practical steps needed to protect victims and prevent recurrence.

Monitoring and continuous improvement are central to our approach for commercial waste services in Marylebone. We track performance via key performance indicators (KPIs) related to supplier compliance, audit outcomes and training coverage. Senior management reviews these metrics quarterly and any material issues are referred to the board-level risk committee. We embed learnings into procurement decisions and supplier engagement strategies to reduce future risk.

Annual Review and Governance — This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually and updated to reflect changes in operations, new risk assessments and regulatory developments. The review process includes input from procurement, legal, operations and external subject matter experts. Findings and actions are documented and form part of our corporate governance reporting. The annual review ensures that our Marylebone waste management programme remains effective and responsive to evolving risks.

In conclusion, Commercial Waste Marylebone reaffirms its commitment to preventing modern slavery across its business and supply chain. We will continue to strengthen supplier audits, maintain secure reporting channels and ensure an annual review of our policies and practices. Through continuous vigilance, training, and clear governance, we strive to eliminate exploitation and uphold human rights in every aspect of our commercial waste operations.
