Modern Slavery Statement for Skip Hire Teddington

Skip Hire Teddington is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations and supply chain. This statement sets out our approach, expectations and the steps we take to ensure that our business — and those who supply goods and services to us — operate in a way that respects human rights. We declare a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, servitude, child labour or exploitation across our activities.

Our commitment applies across every service we provide, including skip hire in Teddington, delivery and waste management activities. We expect the same high standards from all contractors, suppliers and subcontractors and require them to adhere to contractual obligations that prohibit modern slavery. We will not knowingly engage with suppliers who breach these standards. Transparency, traceability and accountability are central to our approach.

Zero-Tolerance Policy and Ethical Standards

We operate a strict zero-tolerance policy to modern slavery across the entire business. This policy is embedded in our corporate governance and communicated regularly to staff and business partners. Employees at all levels, including management engaged in Teddington skip hire services, are trained to recognise signs of exploitation and to act in accordance with our internal reporting procedures. We maintain clear disciplinary procedures for any member of staff found to be involved in modern slavery or exploitation.

To reinforce this commitment we carry out proportionate due diligence on new suppliers and review contractual terms for existing partners. Where risks are identified, we work collaboratively with suppliers to implement corrective action plans and, if necessary, terminate relationships that fail to meet our standards. Our approach to supplier management balances firm enforcement with constructive engagement to drive improvements.

Key elements of our programme include regular risk assessments, supplier onboarding checks, and incorporation of anti-slavery clauses. These measures apply equally to local relationships and to any extended supply chain associated with Skip Hire - Teddington operations.

Supplier Audits, Monitoring and Remediation

Our supplier audit programme is designed to verify compliance with anti-slavery requirements through documentation review and, where appropriate, on-site assessments. Audits target areas of higher risk identified by industry, geography, and service type. Audit findings inform remedial actions, contract reviews and, in severe cases, contract termination. We prioritise continuous improvement and support suppliers in implementing robust labour and recruitment practices.

Reporting channels are available to all employees, contractors and third parties to raise concerns confidentially and without fear of retaliation. Reports can be made verbally to senior managers, through internal escalation routes, or via anonymous reporting mechanisms established within the business. We take all reports seriously and investigate them promptly and impartially. Whistleblowers will be protected and supported.

Annual review and governance form an essential part of our compliance framework. Each year, Skip Hire Teddington conducts a formal review of its modern slavery policies, procedures and performance. The review assesses the effectiveness of supplier audits, training uptake, incident response, and remediation outcomes. Findings are reported to senior leadership and used to update risk assessments, training materials and contractual standards.

We continue to enhance our programme to reflect evolving risks and good practice in tackling modern slavery. Responsibilities for implementation rest with designated senior managers and are supported by all employees. By embedding these measures across our operations and supply chain, including Teddington skip hire and related logistics, we aim to safeguard the rights and dignity of workers and to ensure our services are delivered ethically and lawfully.

This statement will be reviewed at least annually and updated as required to reflect new controls, audit outcomes and regulatory expectations. Through sustained vigilance, supplier audits, strong reporting channels and a clear zero-tolerance stance, Skip Hire Teddington reaffirms its commitment to eradicating modern slavery from our business and the broader industry.

Approved and endorsed by senior management as part of our ongoing commitment to responsible business practices and ethical supply chain management.
