Modern Slavery Statement for Rubbish Clearance Finsbury Park

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by Rubbish Clearance Finsbury Park to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to uphold the highest ethical standards and to ensure that the services we provide in waste and rubbish clearance are delivered without exploitation of any kind.

Our Zero-Tolerance Policy

Rubbish Clearance Finsbury Park operates a strict zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, servitude, child labour, and human trafficking. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all business dealings and relationships. We expect the same high standards from every individual and organisation we work with, including employees, contractors, agency workers, and all suppliers involved in the provision of our services.

Any evidence or reasonable suspicion of modern slavery within our operations or supply chains will be treated extremely seriously. We reserve the right to terminate relationships with any supplier, contractor, or partner found to be involved in, condoning, or turning a blind eye to such practices.

Our Business and Supply Chains

Rubbish Clearance Finsbury Park provides rubbish and waste clearance services to domestic, commercial, and public sector clients in and around the Finsbury Park area. Our supply chains include waste transfer stations, recycling facilities, equipment and vehicle suppliers, fuel providers, cleaning and maintenance services, and staffing agencies.

We recognise that some areas of the waste and recycling industry may present a higher risk of labour exploitation, particularly where subcontracting or temporary labour is used. As a result, we take a proactive and structured approach to assessing and managing these risks.

Supplier Standards and Audits

All new suppliers are required to confirm that they comply with applicable labour, employment, and human rights laws, and that they maintain practices consistent with the elimination of modern slavery. We clearly communicate our expectations regarding ethical conduct, fair treatment of workers, and prohibition of forced or coerced labour.

We carry out proportionate supplier due diligence and, where appropriate, audits of higher-risk suppliers. These checks may include reviewing employment practices, right-to-work documentation, use of recruitment agencies, and accommodation arrangements where these are provided by the supplier. We prioritise long-term relationships with reputable suppliers who share our values and demonstrate continuous improvement in labour standards.

If a supplier is unable or unwilling to meet our standards, we will seek to work with them on corrective actions. Persistent non-compliance, or any confirmed involvement in modern slavery, will result in the review and possible termination of the business relationship.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Rubbish Clearance Finsbury Park encourages all employees, contractors, and other stakeholders to raise concerns about any issue or suspicion of modern slavery in any part of our business or supply chain. Concerns can be reported to line managers, senior management, or via our internal reporting channels, which allow for confidential disclosure.

We are committed to ensuring that no one who raises a concern in good faith suffers any form of detrimental treatment. All reports will be investigated promptly and thoroughly, and appropriate action will be taken in response to any findings. Where necessary, we will cooperate with law enforcement and relevant authorities.

Training and Awareness

We provide appropriate training and guidance to management and those employees involved in procurement, contract management, and supplier relationships. This training covers the recognition of potential indicators of modern slavery, how to respond to concerns, and the importance of adherence to our zero-tolerance policy.

We also promote awareness of modern slavery issues throughout the organisation, reinforcing the message that ethical conduct, respect for human rights, and fair treatment of workers are fundamental to how we operate.

Monitoring, Governance, and Annual Review

Responsibility for overseeing our approach to modern slavery lies with the senior management team of Rubbish Clearance Finsbury Park. They are accountable for ensuring that appropriate policies, procedures, and risk controls are in place and that they are effectively implemented.

We regularly monitor our operations and supplier relationships for potential risks and emerging issues. This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to assess its effectiveness, reflect any changes in our business or risk profile, and incorporate learning from audits, investigations, and stakeholder feedback.

Rubbish Clearance Finsbury Park is committed to continuous improvement in our efforts to prevent modern slavery and to protect the rights and dignity of everyone connected with our business. This Statement has been approved by the management of Rubbish Clearance Finsbury Park and will be updated each year to demonstrate our on-going commitment.
