Modern Slavery Statement — Commercial Waste Peckham

We, Commercial Waste Peckham, are committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all parts of our operations and supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines our approach to ensuring ethical conduct across all our Peckham commercial waste services and related activities. Our commitment is uncompromising: we operate a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, servitude or human trafficking in the provision of business waste Peckham and associated services.

As a provider of commercial waste in Peckham, we recognise the responsibility to uphold human rights and to take proactive steps to identify, prevent and mitigate risks. The policy applies to all employees, contractors, suppliers and third-party partners engaged in commercial refuse Peckham operations. We require everyone in our network to adhere to the high standards set out in this statement and in our code of conduct.

To make these commitments tangible, we have established clear actions and controls, including:

• Risk assessment: systematic review of supply chains and operational areas where exploitation could occur.
• Supplier standards: mandatory contractual clauses for all vendors providing services for Peckham commercial waste collection and disposal.
• Training and awareness: regular staff education so employees can spot signs of exploitation.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

We operate a robust supplier audit programme that targets high-risk suppliers and categories. Our supplier audits combine desk-based checks, on-site inspections where feasible and spot checks at key stages of the procurement lifecycle. Audits of suppliers who handle commercial waste in Peckham include checks on employment records, working hours, subcontracting arrangements and health and safety practices to identify any potential indicators of modern slavery.

Supplier engagement

Commercial Waste Peckham requires suppliers to demonstrate compliance with anti-slavery standards and to permit audits. Where deficiencies are found, we require corrective action plans with clear timelines; persistent or serious breaches result in termination of the supplier relationship. We also encourage suppliers to adopt their own anti-slavery policies and to cascade these expectations through their subcontractor networks.

To supplement audits, we use contractual obligations, risk-based scoring and supplier questionnaires that probe recruitment practices, wage payments, and subcontracting arrangements. These measures help protect vulnerable workers and maintain integrity across all our Peckham waste services.

Reporting channels and whistleblowing

Reporting channels are accessible to employees, suppliers and members of the public who may suspect exploitation linked to our operations. We maintain confidential internal reporting processes and an independent whistleblowing system so concerns can be raised without fear of retaliation. Reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and remedial steps are taken where needed.

We also work with local authorities and charity partners to ensure reports of suspected modern slavery receive appropriate support and referral. While we cannot disclose contact details in this statement, our reporting framework ensures that allegations are escalated, investigated and documented in line with legal and ethical obligations.

Annual review and continuous improvement

The effectiveness of our anti-slavery programme is assessed through an annual review process. This review covers policy effectiveness, audit outcomes, supplier compliance, training completion rates and any incidents reported during the year. Findings from the review inform updates to our policies, the scope of audits and additional training needs.

In addition to the annual review, we commit to continual improvement: updating risk assessments, refining due diligence processes, and enhancing transparency across our waste services Peckham operations. Our goal is to ensure that Commercial Waste Peckham remains free from modern slavery and that our business partners are fully aligned with this objective.

By embedding these measures across our organisation and supply chain, Commercial Waste Peckham will continue to take active, measurable steps to prevent modern slavery and to protect the rights and dignity of all workers linked to our services.
