Modern Slavery Statement — Commercial Waste Removal Temple

Commercial Waste Removal Temple is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all parts of our operations and supply chain. This statement sets out our ongoing commitment as a responsible provider of commercial waste removal and related waste management services. We recognise our duty to act ethically, to protect vulnerable workers and to ensure our waste removal company and contracted partners operate with transparency and integrity.

Our Policy and Scope

Our zero-tolerance policy to modern slavery applies across every area of the business and to all third parties engaged to deliver commercial waste management and waste removal services. We require all suppliers, subcontractors and labour providers to comply with relevant laws and to adhere to our standards. The policy is clearly communicated in contracts, procurement documents and through supplier onboarding processes.

Zero-Tolerance Commitment and Expectations

We maintain a clear position: no form of modern slavery is acceptable. Our expectation is that every employee, contractor and supplier follows lawful employment practices. We employ screening measures, including identity verification and entitlement to work checks, and we use contractual clauses to ensure rights related to pay, working hours and freedom of movement are protected. We use training and awareness programmes so teams recognise signs of exploitation and respond appropriately.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

Due diligence is conducted when engaging new suppliers and periodically for existing partners. This includes site visits where practicable, review of recruitment practices and checking payroll records. We operate a risk-based audit programme focused on areas most likely to be affected by modern slavery risks within the waste removal sector. Audit findings inform corrective action plans and ongoing monitoring. Our approach to supplier management ensures that commercial waste removal providers meet our ethical standards.

Key Controls and Monitoring

• Pre-engagement checks: contractor verification, licence checks and vetting of subcontractors to reduce risk.
• Supplier audits: scheduled and unannounced audits, document reviews and worker interviews where appropriate.
• Contractual safeguards: clauses requiring compliance with modern slavery laws and the right to terminate for breaches.
• Ongoing monitoring: performance reviews and risk reassessments for strategic suppliers of waste removal services.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We provide multiple confidential reporting channels to allow employees, subcontractors and third parties to raise concerns without fear of reprisal. Reports can be made anonymously through internal reporting mechanisms and will be investigated promptly and impartially. We treat all allegations seriously, and where necessary we will involve external agencies and law enforcement. Clear escalation routes ensure that suspected instances of exploitation are responded to swiftly by senior management.

Training, Awareness and Responsibilities

All staff involved in procurement, operations and contract management receive training on recognising modern slavery risks and the procedures to follow. Senior leaders have responsibility for embedding our standards across the business and our commercial waste removal teams are expected to champion ethical practice. We encourage a culture where concerns are raised early and where suppliers actively participate in risk mitigation and continuous improvement.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

We commit to an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and our related policies and procedures, ensuring alignment with evolving best practice and legal obligations. The review examines audit outcomes, reporting trends, remediation actions and supplier performance. Results are used to refine our supplier audits, strengthen reporting channels and enhance training. Our board and senior management oversee progress and allocate resources to reduce modern slavery risk across our operations.

As a responsible waste removal company operating under the name Commercial Waste Removal Temple, we will continue to evaluate risk, enforce the zero-tolerance standard and work collaboratively with partners to promote ethical labour practices. We are committed to transparency, to improving our processes and to protecting the human rights of everyone involved in delivering our waste removal services.
