Modern Slavery Statement — Commercial Waste Kensington

Company team meeting at depot with waste collection trucksCommercial Waste Kensington is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms across our operations and supply chains. Our organisation, trading as commercial waste kensington in local markets, has a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, debt bondage, human trafficking or other exploitation. This statement sets out our approach to assessing and managing modern slavery risks and reflects our responsibility to protect workers, contractors and the communities we serve. We make this pledge publicly to reinforce that Kensington commercial waste services will not tolerate abuses of labour rights.

Scope and Accountability

Our commitment covers all business units and our supply chain partners, including hauliers, subcontractors, equipment suppliers and temporary labour providers. The Board and senior management of Commercial Waste — Kensington maintain oversight of anti-slavery measures and are responsible for ensuring compliance with relevant legislation and best practice. We require all staff to adhere to our policies and report concerns through our internal channels. Senior leaders ensure that policy implementation is resourced and monitored, and that corrective action is taken where required.

Inspection of supplier records and documents during compliance reviewWe operate a strict zero-tolerance policy which means that any individual or supplier found to be involved in modern slavery will face immediate action, up to and including termination of contracts and reporting to authorities when appropriate. We expect suppliers and partners to act lawfully and ethically, and to demonstrate the same standards that Commercial Waste Kensington requires of itself. Where breaches are identified, we will take proportionate measures to remediate affected individuals, prevent recurrence and cooperate with law enforcement agencies.

Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

We apply a risk-based due diligence process across our procurement lifecycle. Before onboarding, suppliers undergo assessment against modern slavery criteria, and higher-risk suppliers are subject to enhanced checks. Our approach includes contractual commitments, documentation reviews and site audits. We conduct routine supplier audits and may request corrective action plans. Audit findings inform ongoing risk assessments and feed into supplier performance metrics used by procurement teams.

Whistleblowing and confidential reporting process illustrationTo ensure clarity and practical enforcement we use the following measures:

  • Regular supplier questionnaires focused on labour practices and worker protections.
  • Targeted on-site and remote audits for high-risk suppliers and subcontractors.
  • Contract clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery laws and cooperation with investigations.
  • Training for procurement staff to identify indicators of modern slavery and escalate concerns.

Boardroom review of modern slavery policies and annual statementReporting Channels and Annual Review: Commercial Waste Kensington provides multiple confidential reporting channels for employees and third parties to raise concerns, including anonymous reporting mechanisms and internal escalation routes. We ensure reports are treated seriously and investigated promptly with protections against retaliation. Records of allegations, investigations and outcomes are maintained to drive continuous improvement. Additionally, we commit to an annual review of our policies and practice. Each year the policy, supplier audit outcomes, training completion rates and any incidents are reviewed by the Board to measure effectiveness and to update our approach. Findings from the annual review are used to refine risk assessments, increase supplier engagement, and strengthen internal controls.

Training and continuous improvement are central to sustaining our efforts. All staff in customer-facing, procurement and operational roles receive training on recognising and responding to signs of modern slavery. We actively engage with industry peers and stakeholders to share best practice and raise standards across the waste management sector. Commercial-waste Kensington will continue to integrate anti-slavery safeguards into our contractual terms, procurement processes and operational audits to ensure that worker welfare remains a core priority.

In summary, Commercial Waste Kensington reaffirms its commitment to preventing modern slavery through a combination of robust policies, supplier audits, transparent reporting channels and an ongoing annual review cycle. We will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of our actions and will take decisive measures where risks are identified to protect workers and uphold human rights in all aspects of our business.
