Modern Slavery Statement — Tottenham Skip Hire Commitment
Tottenham Skip Hire is committed to ensuring that modern slavery and human trafficking do not occur in any part of our business or supply chain. This modern slavery statement explains our policies, the steps we take to prevent exploitation, and our approach to protecting workers across our Tottenham skip-hire operations and wider Tottenham waste management activities.
We recognise our responsibility as a local waste services provider — whether operating as Tottenham skips, a skip hire company or a broader Tottenham skip services provider — to foster transparent, ethical practices. The board has endorsed a zero-tolerance policy to modern slavery, and this is embedded in our corporate code of conduct and procurement principles.
Our zero-tolerance policy means that any form of forced labour, child labour, servitude, or human trafficking is unacceptable. We will take decisive action if any instance of modern slavery is identified within our operations or among our suppliers, including contract termination and referral to the appropriate authorities when required.
To identify and mitigate risk, Tottenham skip hire company procedures include targeted due diligence and ongoing supplier monitoring. We conduct risk-based supplier assessments focusing on geography, labour practices, and industry risk factors that could indicate potential modern slavery issues in our Tottenham skip-hire supply chain.
Our approach to supplier management includes regular supplier audits, contractual clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery laws, and engagement initiatives to help smaller vendors meet expectations. Audits are a combination of documentation review, site visits and interviews with worker representatives where feasible.
Key supplier expectations are listed below to make our standards clear:
- Respect for the human rights of all workers and prohibition of forced labour.
- Transparent recruitment practices and documented pay records.
- Safe working conditions and lawful working hours.
- Cooperation with Tottenham waste management audits and corrective action plans.
Reporting Channels and Governance
We maintain multiple confidential reporting channels so employees, contractors and third parties can raise concerns. Reports can be made through anonymous hotlines, internal HR and compliance routes, or direct escalation to management without fear of retaliation. We strongly encourage anyone with concerns related to our Tottenham skip services or suppliers to use these channels.
Investigation and Remediation
All reports are taken seriously and investigated in a timely manner by our compliance team. Where evidence of modern slavery is found, we will take immediate corrective actions, including supporting victims, terminating relationships with non-compliant suppliers, and collaborating with enforcement agencies. We aim to remediate harm and prevent recurrence through robust corrective action plans.
Our governance framework assigns clear responsibilities: senior leadership oversees policy and resource allocation, procurement manages supplier risk and audits, and HR ensures workforce awareness. Training on modern slavery risks and our policies is provided regularly to employees involved in procurement, operations and site management.
We will measure the effectiveness of our interventions through audit outcomes, the number and resolution of reported incidents, and supplier compliance rates. Metrics are reviewed quarterly by the compliance committee and inform improvements to our processes across the Tottenham skip hire network.
As part of continual improvement, we commit to an annual review of this statement and our policies. The annual review evaluates the success of supplier audits, training programs, remediation actions and reporting procedures, and it identifies new risks and mitigation measures for the coming year.
Conclusion Tottenham Skip Hire reaffirms its commitment to combat modern slavery across all aspects of our business. We will continue to work with partners, suppliers and stakeholders to ensure that our Tottenham skips operations are free from exploitation and that human rights are respected in every contract we manage.
