Modern Slavery Statement — Skip Hire Battersea

Skip Hire Battersea is committed to ensuring that modern slavery and human trafficking are not present in any part of our operations or supply chains. This statement sets out our approach to prevention, detection and remediation in relation to forced labour, child labour and exploitation. Our Battersea skip hire business applies a zero-tolerance policy to any form of modern slavery.

We operate across waste management and skip collection services, and as a trusted provider of skip hire in Battersea we recognise our responsibility to manage risk. This statement applies to all employees, contractors and third-party suppliers engaged by Skip Hire Battersea and to any affiliated operations involved in the delivery of our skips and skip services.

Our key commitments include robust policies, transparent supplier relationships and clear reporting channels. We expect suppliers to meet the same standards we set for ourselves and we use contractual clauses to require compliance with anti-slavery laws and ethical labour practices.

Skip-hire Battersea enforces a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery. All personnel are trained to recognise signs of exploitation and to escalate concerns. We maintain documented policies that outline acceptable practices and the steps we take when issues are identified.

To strengthen supplier accountability, our approach to supplier audits includes risk-based assessments. We conduct due diligence prior to onboarding suppliers and run periodic compliance checks for high-risk partners. These supplier audits evaluate:

• Documentation — proof of right to work and labour contracts;
• Working conditions — hours, wages and health and safety;
• Subcontractor chains — background checks and oversight procedures.

Where audits identify concerns, Skip Hire Battersea requires remediation plans with defined timelines and follow-up audits to verify improvement. Persistent non-compliance can result in contract termination and the removal of the supplier from our preferred list.

As part of our anti-slavery measures, Battersea skips operations include worker awareness training, a whistleblowing framework and regular risk reviews. We maintain records of our checks and make continuous improvements to ensure our skip hire services are delivered ethically.

We provide multiple secure reporting channels for employees, contractors and external stakeholders to raise concerns without fear of retaliation. Reports can be made confidentially and will be investigated promptly and fairly. All reports are logged and tracked to ensure appropriate corrective action and victim support where necessary.

In addition to formal reporting, managers are encouraged to proactively monitor on-site conditions and supply chain practices, ensuring early detection of any potential indicators of forced labour or exploitation within skip hire in Battersea and associated delivery services.

Transparency and continuous improvement are central to our approach. We publish this Modern Slavery Statement to demonstrate the steps Skip Hire Battersea is taking to identify and mitigate slavery risks and to hold ourselves accountable.

Our annual review cycle ensures ongoing relevance of our policies. Each year we:

• Review risk assessments across operations and the supply chain;
• Update training materials and supplier audit criteria;
• Report on progress internally and ensure senior leadership oversight.

We will continue to work with partners, suppliers and the wider community to eradicate modern slavery from all aspects of our business. Skip Hire Battersea remains resolute in its commitment to ethical labour practices, supplier audits, clear reporting channels and a formal annual review to drive lasting change.
