Modern Slavery Statement — Skip Hire Dulwich Commitment

Skip Hire Dulwich operates with a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour. This statement sets out our approach across operational activities and procurement for all stakeholders engaged with skip hire in Dulwich. We confirm that preventing exploitation is a core responsibility at every level of our company and that we will not tolerate any practices that undermine worker rights.

We adopt a risk-based due diligence process for employment, logistics and waste handling operations. Our Dulwich skip hire teams are trained to recognise indicators of exploitation and to escalate concerns. Pre-employment checks and right-to-work verifications are mandatory and form part of recruitment and franchise assessments to reduce vulnerability in our supply chain.

Our supplier and contractor engagement focuses on transparency and accountability. All suppliers to SkipHire Dulwich must sign our code of conduct that explicitly prohibits modern slavery and requires compliance with labour standards. Strong contractual clauses enable us to act quickly if breaches are suspected or confirmed, including termination of relationships where necessary.

We maintain regular supplier audits and performance reviews. Audits include site visits, documentation checks and targeted interviews where appropriate, with increased frequency in high-risk areas. These supplier audits are designed to validate working hours, wage payments, accommodation standards and recruitment practices, and they form an integral part of our procurement oversight.

Skip hire Dulwich undertakes ongoing risk assessments to prioritise interventions. We map our supplier network and categorise partners by risk factors such as geographic indicators, nature of labour, and industry practices. This enables the business to allocate resources efficiently and to implement preventative measures where the risk of exploitation is highest.

Our approach also includes capacity building with suppliers: training sessions, written guidance and collaborative action plans to improve labour standards across the chain. We use a mix of announced and unannounced checks to ensure a true picture of working conditions and to verify corrective action has been implemented.

Reporting channels are available for employees, contractors and third parties to raise concerns confidentially and securely. We operate multiple routes for disclosure, including anonymous whistleblowing arrangements, internal HR escalation and independent reporting mechanisms. Each report is taken seriously and investigated promptly with measures to protect those who report in good faith.

How we manage incidents and remediation

Where instances of modern slavery are identified, Skip Hire Dulwich will act decisively. Remediation actions prioritise the welfare of affected individuals and may include safe repatriation, access to support services, and cooperation with relevant authorities. We will also review our supplier audits and contractual terms to reduce recurrence.

Review, governance and annual review

Senior management and the board receive regular reports on modern slavery risks and the effectiveness of our controls. We commit to an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and associated policies to ensure continuous improvement. The review process evaluates audit findings, incident responses, training outcomes and supplier performance against our standards.

The statement is supported by clear governance: roles and responsibilities are defined for procurement, operations and compliance teams. We document actions taken, maintain records of supplier audits and corrective plans, and set measurable objectives to reduce exposure to modern slavery risks in our sector.

Key elements of our ongoing programme include:

• Regular supplier audits with risk-based scheduling;
• Mandatory contractual clauses prohibiting forced labour;
• Multiple secure reporting channels for concerns;
• Targeted training for staff and supply chain partners;
• Annual review of policies and continual improvement.

By embedding these measures into the culture of Skip Hire Dulwich and promoting responsibility across our network, we aim to play a proactive role in eradicating modern slavery within skip hire services and associated industries. Our commitment to transparency, robust supplier audits, accessible reporting channels and an annual review cycle ensures that we continuously work to protect human rights and uphold high ethical standards.
