Skip Hire Camden - Modern Slavery Statement

Skip Hire Camden publishes this Modern Slavery Statement as a clear declaration of our commitment to preventing modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking across our operations and supply chain. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for any form of exploitation and treat compliance with anti-slavery laws as fundamental to our business ethics and corporate responsibility.

Our modern slavery policy applies to all employees, contractors and subcontractors engaged directly or indirectly by Skip Hire Camden. The slavery and human trafficking statement sets out the steps we take to identify, assess and mitigate risks, and reflects our determination to ensure no worker is subject to exploitation, debt bondage or involuntary labour in any part of our activities.

We operate robust procedures to assess and manage potential risk areas in procurement, staffing and logistics. Our anti-slavery statement emphasises that recruitment and employment must be undertaken with respect for human rights, fair wages and transparent terms of work. We expect the same standards of our suppliers and partners, and we make it clear in procurement documents that modern slavery is unacceptable.

Supplier Controls and Audits

Skip Hire Camden employs a structured supplier due diligence programme to evaluate and monitor suppliers and sub-contractors. This includes supplier questionnaires, verification of labour practices, identity and right-to-work checks, and targeted on-site or remote audits where appropriate. Key elements of our supplier audit programme include:

• Risk-based assessments to prioritise audits on higher-risk suppliers and service types;
• Contractual clauses requiring compliance with our anti-slavery and human trafficking policy and allowing for audit and termination where breaches are identified;
• Regular review cycles and corrective action plans for suppliers that do not meet expectations.

We also embed training for procurement and operational teams on how to spot signs of modern slavery and how to escalate concerns. Training covers recognising indicators of forced labour, irregular working conditions, and deceptive recruitment practices. We encourage staff to be vigilant and to use the reporting mechanisms provided.

Reporting Channels and Confidential Escalation

Skip Hire Camden provides multiple confidential reporting channels so concerns can be raised safely and without fear of retaliation. Reports may be made internally through designated managers or anonymous whistleblowing routes. We commit to protecting whistleblowers and responding to reports promptly. All allegations are investigated by trained personnel with appropriate remedial actions taken when necessary.

Our reporting channels form a critical part of our ongoing monitoring. We treat each report seriously, apply proportionate investigative measures and review outcomes to identify systemic issues. Where instances of modern slavery are confirmed, we will take decisive action including remedial support for affected individuals and contract termination where required.

Skip Hire Camden's Board endorses this anti-slavery statement and the continuous improvement of our controls. We commit to an annual review of our policies, risk assessments, supplier audits and training programmes to ensure effectiveness and relevance. This annual review will consider legislative changes, emerging risks and lessons learned from investigations to strengthen our modern slavery and human trafficking policy over time.

Transparency, accountability and ongoing vigilance are core to our approach. We will continue to refine our procedures, report on progress internally and ensure that our values are reflected across the supply chain. Skip Hire Camden remains unwavering in its resolve: no tolerance for modern slavery in any form.

This modern slavery and human trafficking statement is reviewed and updated annually and is approved by senior leadership. Through active supplier audits, accessible reporting channels, and a firm zero-tolerance policy, we aim to prevent exploitation and protect vulnerable workers wherever we operate.
