Alperton Skip Hire Modern Slavery Statement

Alperton Skip Hire publishes this Modern Slavery Statement to confirm our commitment to preventing modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking in all areas of our operations and supply chain. This anti-slavery statement sets out the policies, processes and controls we have implemented to ensure that slavery and human trafficking do not occur within our business. Our position is clear: we operate a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of exploitation.

We recognise that a robust slavery and human trafficking statement requires ongoing vigilance across procurement, transport and waste management activities. Our approach combines due diligence, contractual safeguards and staff awareness. We require all colleagues and contractors to adhere to our modern slavery policy, which is embedded into recruitment, supplier selection and operational management practices.

Our commitment to preventing modern slavery extends to the way we select and manage suppliers. We conduct formal supplier due diligence and risk assessments, concentrating on areas with higher exposure to unregulated labour or third-party subcontracting. Actions include pre-onboarding checks, compliance questionnaires and mandatory acceptance of anti-slavery clauses in contracts.

Alperton Skip Hire enforces a strict zero-tolerance policy on exploitation. All employees are required to report suspected instances of forced labour, child labour or any form of coercion. We train staff to recognise red flags and to escalate concerns immediately. The company treats any substantiated breach as a serious disciplinary matter and undertakes remediation measures for affected workers.

To ensure supplier accountability we perform regular supplier audits and site inspections. These audits assess labour conditions, subcontractor use, working hours, pay practices and documentation. Audit outcomes affect supplier status: we may require corrective action plans, suspend orders or terminate contracts where non-compliance persists. Our purchasing teams maintain records of audits and improvement steps.

We maintain multiple reporting channels to facilitate confidential disclosures. These reporting channels include internal escalation to management, anonymous reporting options and a clear whistleblowing pathway. Reports are triaged promptly and investigated by a trained compliance officer; where necessary we involve external experts to support victim protection and remedy. Our reporting framework aims to be accessible and reassuring for anyone raising concerns.

Key elements of our due diligence and contract management process are outlined below:

• Supplier screening: risk-based checks and mandatory compliance confirmations;
• On-site audits: periodic inspections and documentation reviews;
• Corrective action: formal remediation plans and follow-up verification;
• Training: worker and management training on rights, reporting and prevention;
• Contractual clauses: clear anti-slavery requirements and termination rights.

This anti-slavery statement is integrated into our broader corporate responsibility framework. Our senior leadership sponsors the programme and receives regular reports on risk, audit findings and remediation progress. We use key performance indicators to measure effectiveness, including the number of supplier audits completed, closure of corrective actions and incidence trends over time.

Reporting Channels and Confidentiality

We maintain confidential reporting channels that protect whistleblowers and ensure timely investigation. All allegations are logged, investigated and, where appropriate, reported to relevant authorities. We commit to non-retaliation and to providing support for individuals affected by exploitation.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

Alperton Skip Hire performs an annual review of this slavery statement and associated policies to reflect legislative changes, emerging risks and lessons learned from audits and incidents. The review assesses the effectiveness of our controls and identifies enhancements. Where improvements are required we update processes, increase training and strengthen supplier engagement.

In summary, this slavery statement and our modern slavery policy reaffirm Alperton Skip Hire's dedication to preventing exploitation in all forms. We will continue to evolve our approach, working collaboratively with suppliers and stakeholders to eradicate modern slavery from our operations and supply chain.
