Modern Slavery Statement — Catford Skip Hire

Catford Skip Hire is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our business. This modern slavery and human trafficking statement sets out our zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, bonded labour, child labour or exploitation across Catford skip hire operations, Catford skips supply chains and associated contractors. We affirm that any breach of this zero-tolerance policy will lead to immediate action, including contract termination and remedial measures.

Our statement applies to all employees, subcontractors and suppliers engaged by Catford skip-hire. We recognise that the waste management and skip hire sector must be vigilant: from recruitment and onboarding to site work and vehicle operations, we maintain strict vetting and training controls. All staff receive training that explains the signs of modern slavery and the importance of ethical sourcing. We use clear contractual requirements and expect suppliers to comply with our standards, demonstrating transparency in labour practices and worker rights.

Supplier Assurance and Audit Programme

To support the integrity of our supply chain we operate a robust supplier due diligence and supplier audits regime. Our supplier assurance approach includes:

• Pre-contract checks on labour practices and right-to-work verification;
• Periodic on-site and remote audits focusing on working hours, pay, and accommodation where relevant;
• Contractual clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery laws and immediate reporting of concerns.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Catford SkipHire provides multiple confidential reporting channels so that employees, suppliers and third parties can raise concerns without fear of reprisal. Reports can be made through our internal reporting system or via anonymous mechanisms established by our governance team. We emphasise accessible and secure channels: formal incident logs, a defined escalation path and a commitment to protect whistleblowers. All reports trigger a prompt investigation undertaken by trained compliance staff, and where appropriate, law enforcement or regulatory bodies will be informed.

We document investigations, corrective action plans and follow-up audits. Where non-compliance is identified during supplier audits or through reporting channels, Catford skip hire services will require immediate corrective action, offer remediation where feasible, and terminate relationships when suppliers fail to remedy serious breaches. Our procurement team records supplier performance metrics and uses those KPI results in sourcing decisions to reduce the risk of modern slavery across our operations.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement — We commit to an annual review of this declaration and of the effectiveness of our anti-slavery measures. The annual review covers policy updates, audit outcomes, training uptake, incident trends and the status of supplier corrective actions. Findings from the annual review drive improvements in policy, strengthened contractual terms, refreshed training modules and enhanced due diligence processes. We publish updates internally to ensure that all stakeholders understand our approach and progress.

As a local operator known as Catford skip hire and Catford skip hire services, we take a proactive stance by embedding anti-slavery controls into procurement, HR, and operational procedures. We expect the same high standards from our partners, suppliers and contractors in the Catford skips network. This statement is endorsed by our senior management and will be reviewed annually to ensure that our practices remain effective, responsive and aligned with evolving best practice in the prevention of modern slavery.

We reaffirm our zero-tolerance policy and remain dedicated to upholding human rights across all activities. Through ongoing supplier audits, clear reporting channels and a structured annual review, Catford Skip Hire will continue to identify, prevent and remediate risks of modern slavery in our business and supply chains.
