Modern Slavery Statement — Skip Hire Surbiton

Skip Hire Surbiton is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our operations. This statement sets out our policy, practical steps and ongoing commitments to ensure that our services, whether described as skip hire in Surbiton or Surbiton skip hire, operate with the highest standards of integrity and respect for human rights. We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards slavery and forced labour and require the same standard from our suppliers and subcontractors.

We recognise that the waste management and skip hire sector can present risks such as exploitative labour practices in supply chains. Our approach applies to all teams and functions across Skip Hire — Surbiton and covers temporary labour, contractors, suppliers and business partners engaged on behalf of the business. This statement is produced in line with our ethical and legal obligations and demonstrates the company’s commitment to responsible sourcing and workforce welfare.

Zero-Tolerance Policy and Expectations

We operate a clear zero-tolerance policy towards any form of slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, and human trafficking. All staff and partners are required to comply with this policy. Any breach is treated seriously and will result in prompt investigation and appropriate action, which may include termination of contracts or reporting to the relevant authorities. Our teams are trained to identify signs of exploitation, understand referral mechanisms and escalate concerns immediately.

Supplier Standards and Due Diligence

We expect suppliers to meet our minimum standards for labour rights, including payment of lawful wages, reasonable working hours and the right to leave employment. As part of our procurement process for skip hire surbiton contracts, suppliers must confirm their compliance with anti-slavery laws and provide evidence of their policies and procedures. We evaluate new partners on their policies, contractual terms, and risk profile before engagement.

Supplier audits form a central part of our due diligence. We conduct periodic on-site and remote audits to verify supply chain compliance. Audit activities include document reviews, interviews and spot checks focused on labour conditions, recruitment practices and subcontractor management. Where issues are identified we require corrective action plans with defined timelines; persistent non-compliance leads to contract termination.

Our audit process includes:

• Verification of payroll and working time records;
• Checks on recruitment and right-to-work documentation;
• Assessment of subcontractor controls and cascade requirements;
• Remediation tracking and closure verification.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We maintain clear reporting channels to encourage the reporting of concerns related to slavery and human trafficking. Staff and third parties can raise issues through established internal routes and anonymous whistleblowing options. Reports are handled confidentially, investigated impartially and escalated to senior management where required. We will not tolerate retaliation against any individual who raises concerns in good faith.

Training, Responsibility and Continuous Improvement

All employees and relevant contractors receive regular training on recognising and responding to potential exploitation. Managers and procurement teams receive enhanced training on supplier assessment and contract requirements for Skip Hire Surbiton. Responsibilities for implementing this statement are assigned to senior management and our compliance function, which reviews performance metrics and audit findings throughout the year.

Annual review: we review this Modern Slavery Statement at least annually to ensure it remains effective, proportionate and aligned with evolving risks and legal requirements. The annual review examines audit outcomes, incident reports, training records and supplier performance. Where improvements are identified we update our policies, controls and supplier engagement strategies to strengthen protections against modern slavery across our operations and supply chains.
