Modern Slavery Statement — Commercial Waste Parsons Green

Commercial Waste Parsons Green is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our approach to identifying and mitigating risks in the collection, processing and logistics that relate to our Parsons Green commercial waste services. We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, exploitation or human trafficking and will take decisive action where risks are identified.

Our Commitment and Policy

We have a clear and public commitment to uphold worker rights across the full supply chain. Our zero-tolerance stance against modern slavery applies to all staff, contractors and third parties engaged in providing commercial refuse and recycling services in Parsons Green and surrounding areas. The policy is embedded in our corporate code and reinforced through procurement contracts and supplier onboarding for any Parsons Green commercial waste arrangements.

We apply a risk-based approach to our waste management operations. The scope covers direct employees and the broader network of suppliers that support Parsons Green commercial waste collections, transfer, and disposal. We ensure that employment terms are lawful and transparent and that workers can access remedies. Any supplier found in breach of the zero-tolerance policy may face contract termination and further action as appropriate.

Supply Chain Due Diligence and Audits

We conduct due diligence across suppliers and subcontractors to detect indicators of modern slavery. Our approach includes background checks, contractual clauses that prohibit exploitative practices, and a staged audit programme focused on higher-risk segments of the Parsons Green commercial waste supply chain. Audit findings are documented and acted upon promptly.

Supplier audits are central to our mitigation strategy. Measures include:

• Regular on-site and remote reviews of working conditions and payroll records;
• Verification of legal right to work and transparent recruitment practices;
• Contract clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery standards and immediate remediation where issues exist.

We maintain accessible reporting channels for workers, contractors and third parties to raise concerns about modern slavery risks. Reports can be raised confidentially and are investigated by a designated compliance team. Whistleblower protections are in place and training programmes ensure staff and suppliers in Parsons Green commercial waste operations know how to report suspected abuse without fear of retaliation.

Training, awareness and continuous monitoring underpin our efforts. All employees receive mandatory training on recognising signs of exploitation and the steps to take if they suspect modern slavery. Suppliers are required to provide similar training to their workforce and to cooperate with our audit and remediation processes. We emphasise transparency and expect suppliers to maintain accurate workforce records.

Monitoring, Review and Continuous Improvement — We review the effectiveness of our policies and actions annually. This annual review includes an assessment of audit outcomes, incident reports, corrective actions taken and progress against key performance indicators relevant to Parsons Green waste services. Findings from each annual review inform updated risk assessments and improvements to our due diligence programme.

Where modern slavery or human trafficking is suspected, we will act swiftly to protect potential victims, cooperate with enforcement agencies and apply contractual and legal remedies against perpetrators. Our response protocols set out escalation routes, victim support and remediation steps tailored to the nature of the incident within the Parsons Green commercial waste context.

We also engage with industry bodies, local stakeholders and peer organisations to share best practice and strengthen community resilience against exploitation within commercial waste and recycling sectors. Collaboration helps raise standards across the wider Parsons Green commercial waste ecosystem and supports systemic change.

By maintaining a clear zero-tolerance policy, robust supplier audits, trusted reporting channels and a rigorous annual review process, Commercial Waste Parsons Green demonstrates a sustained commitment to eradicating modern slavery from our operations and supply chains. This statement will be reviewed and updated regularly to reflect evolving risks and our continuous improvement in protecting human rights.
