Modern Slavery Statement — Commercial Waste Weybridge Commitment

Commercial Waste Weybridge confirms its commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking across every part of our business and supply chain. This modern slavery statement explains the actions we take to ensure ethical practices, how we enforce a zero-tolerance policy on exploitation, and the ways we responsibly manage waste and labour in all our Weybridge commercial waste operations.

Our approach to waste management Weybridge focuses not only on environmental performance but also on protecting human rights. We set clear standards for staff and contractors, train employees to spot signs of forced labour, and make transparent expectations part of procurement and onboarding. This policy applies to everyone delivering commercial refuse Weybridge services under our contracts.

We operate a strict zero-tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery. Any allegation is taken seriously and investigated immediately. Sanctions for breach include contract termination and referral to the appropriate authorities. Our stance extends to the entire supplier base and subcontractors involved in commercial waste operations across Weybridge and surrounding areas.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

To uphold our obligations, we run robust supplier audits that examine labour practices, recruitment processes, and working conditions. These supplier assessments are integral to the oversight of CW Weybridge partners and are conducted according to risk level and geography. Audit findings form part of a continuous improvement programme to close any gaps identified in compliance.

Our due diligence measures include:

• Pre-contract screening of recruitment and vetting practices;
• On-site checks where necessary to verify worker documentation, hours, and pay; and
• Corrective action plans with deadlines and verification steps for suppliers needing improvement.

We prioritise suppliers by risk, and higher-risk relationships receive more frequent and detailed audits. When audits reveal non-compliance, we work collaboratively with suppliers to remediate issues but will enforce termination where necessary to protect workers.

Reporting Channels and Safe Disclosure

Reporting channels are clearly communicated to all staff, contractors and suppliers involved in Weybridge commercial waste services. We maintain confidential and anonymous avenues for disclosures, enabling people to report concerns without fear of retaliation. Reports are triaged swiftly and investigated by trained personnel.

We encourage reports through multiple channels: internal hotlines, designated safeguarding leads, and secure digital reporting tools. All reports receive acknowledgement, an initial assessment, and follow-up actions where required. Our process emphasizes protection for whistleblowers and affected workers.

Records of investigations, outcomes and any remediation steps are retained and reviewed to identify systemic issues and prevent recurrence. We publish summary findings internally and use lessons learned to strengthen controls across our commercial waste and refuse management services in the Weybridge area.

Training and awareness form a core element of our prevention strategy. Staff involved in procurement, operations and site supervision receive tailored training on recognizing signs of exploitation, safe recruitment practices, and how to use reporting channels. We also brief suppliers on expectations and the consequences of non-compliance to ensure collective responsibility across CW Weybridge relationships.

As part of our governance, we conduct an annual review of this statement and related policies to measure effectiveness, update risk assessments and reflect evolving best practice. The annual review includes a summary of audit activity, incidents reported, remedial actions taken, and improvements planned for the next year.

Through these measures — a clear zero-tolerance stance, focused supplier audits, secure reporting channels and a transparent annual review — Commercial Waste Weybridge seeks to play an active role in eradicating modern slavery from the waste management supply chain and ensuring dignity and safety for all workers engaged in our operations.
