Norbiton Skip Hire Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement reflects Norbiton Skip Hire's firm commitment to preventing modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking in our business and supply chains. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy on all forms of exploitation and require all employees, contractors and suppliers to follow our anti-slavery obligations. This anti-slavery statement applies to all operations and is published to show how our modern slavery policy is implemented across the company.

Our Commitments and Principles

We are committed to continuous improvement in how we identify and address the risk of slavery and human trafficking. Our core commitments include:

• Zero-tolerance policy towards slavery, forced labour and child labour.
• Embedding anti-slavery due diligence into procurement and supplier management.
• Providing training and awareness for staff and operatives.
• Maintaining transparent records and reporting channels for concerns.

The scope of this modern slavery and human trafficking statement covers our skip hire operations, transport contractors, waste handling partners and associated logistics providers. We require that every supplier confirms adherence to our Modern Slavery Policy and that documentary evidence is available on request. We expect suppliers to demonstrate compliant labour practices and uphold human rights throughout the supply chain.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

Norbiton Skip Hire operates a robust supplier due diligence framework to assess and mitigate risk. Our approach includes:

• Pre-engagement screening and risk-based assessment.
• Inclusion of contractual clauses that prohibit slavery and human trafficking.
• Scheduled and surprise supplier audits to verify working conditions and documentation.

Audit activities are carried out by qualified personnel or independent third parties where appropriate. Audit findings are recorded and tracked; we require corrective action plans from suppliers when issues are identified. Continued non-compliance may result in contract termination. We deploy a mix of desktop checks, on-site inspections and targeted worker interviews to corroborate compliance with our slavery prevention standards.

Our supply chain transparency measures promote responsible sourcing and regular reassessment of high-risk suppliers. We align our processes with recognised standards and adapt to evolving best practice in modern slavery prevention.

Reporting channels are central to our strategy. We provide multiple safe and confidential routes for raising concerns about slavery, forced labour or exploitation. Staff, contractors and third parties can report issues via anonymous hotlines, internal reporting lines or through designated safeguarding representatives. All reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and escalated as necessary, with protections against retaliation for whistleblowers.

Where allegations are substantiated, we take decisive remedial action: we work to protect affected individuals, require remediation from responsible parties, and, where required, involve law enforcement and relevant authorities. We also review supplier relationships and apply contractual remedies or exit arrangements where remediation is insufficient.

To ensure the continued effectiveness of this anti-slavery statement, Norbiton Skip Hire undertakes an annual review of our policies, procedures and risk profile. The review assesses training uptake, audit outcomes, reported incidents and progress against improvement plans. Results are documented, and senior management approve updates to strengthen controls and compliance approaches. We remain committed to ongoing training, awareness-raising and resource allocation to reduce the risk of modern slavery and forced labour in our operations and supply chains.

Accountability and governance: Senior leadership endorses this statement and is accountable for its implementation. Compliance performance is monitored and reported at board level. We aim to be transparent about actions taken to tackle exploitation and are committed to continuous improvement in our slavery prevention measures.
