Modern Slavery Statement — Skip Hire Archway

Skip Hire Archway is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations. This statement describes our policies, actions and ongoing commitments as a responsible provider of skip hire services in Archway and surrounding areas. We set out a zero-tolerance policy on any form of forced labour, bonded labour, exploitative working practices or human trafficking across our own business and within our supply chain.

We operate as skip-hire Archway specialists and recognise the responsibility that comes with managing waste, contractors and subcontractors. Our procurement principles require that all suppliers to Skip Hire Archway adhere to the same high ethical standards we demand of ourselves. Employees and contractors receive induction materials outlining our expectations and the consequences of breaching our modern slavery rules.

Our approach to prevention includes targeted supplier audits and risk-based due diligence. We maintain an audit programme that focuses on high-risk suppliers and on-site operations where vulnerable workers may be present. Audits are conducted by trained compliance staff and independent third-party auditors where appropriate, and findings are documented and acted upon promptly.

Supplier audits cover a range of areas, including employment terms, working hours, payment records and recruitment practices. Key audit checks include:

• Verification of identity and right to work documentation
• Review of payroll and wage records
• Assessment of recruitment fees and third-party labour providers

These measures reduce the risk of exploitation in our Archway skip hire supply chain and provide transparency for ongoing supplier relationships.

Skip Hire Archway enforces a zero-tolerance stance: any evidence of modern slavery results in immediate remedial action. Remediation may include suspension of contracts, cooperation with authorities and support for affected workers where feasible. We also work towards long-term corrective measures, such as supplier training and process changes, to prevent recurrence.

We continually review our policies and ensure they are embedded in day-to-day practice. Our code of conduct and supplier terms include contractual clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery laws and the right to audit. We communicate these obligations through procurement documents, contract negotiations and regular supplier engagement sessions focused on ethical labour standards for skip hire providers in the Archway area.

To ensure concerns are raised and addressed, we provide multiple reporting channels for workers, suppliers and stakeholders. Reporting options include anonymous reporting hotlines, secure online submission forms and direct reporting to designated compliance officers within Skip Hire Archway. Reports are treated seriously and investigated promptly and confidentially.

We protect whistleblowers from retaliation and offer support to individuals affected by exploitation. Our reporting process is complemented by clear investigation procedures, documented outcomes and corrective actions. We maintain records of all reports and the remedial steps taken, ensuring transparency and accountability across our skip hire operations in Archway and beyond.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

Each year we perform an annual review of our modern slavery programme. This review evaluates the effectiveness of supplier audits, the uptake of training, the performance of reporting channels and the outcome of any remediation. Findings from the annual review drive improvements to policies, supplier selection criteria and monitoring procedures. We remain committed to evolving our approach to prevent modern slavery in every facet of our skip hire Archway services.
