Modern Slavery Statement for Waste Disposal Canary Wharf

This Modern Slavery Statement is made by Waste Disposal Canary Wharf in relation to our operations and supply chains. It sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our business. We are committed to operating responsibly, ethically, and in full compliance with applicable laws relating to labour, human rights, and anti-slavery.

Modern slavery includes slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, bonded labour, and human trafficking. Waste Disposal Canary Wharf recognises that these abuses can occur in any sector or country and we are determined to identify, prevent, and address any such risks within our organisation and our extended supply chain.

Our Zero-Tolerance Approach

Waste Disposal Canary Wharf has a strict zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. We do not accept any form of forced, bonded, or child labour, nor any practices that exploit individuals or deprive them of their freedom or dignity. This commitment extends to all employees, agency workers, contractors, suppliers, and any other third parties working with or on behalf of our business.

Our zero-tolerance stance is embedded in our internal policies, supplier requirements, and contractual arrangements. We expect everyone in our value chain to uphold the same high standards, and we reserve the right to terminate relationships with any party found to be in breach of these principles.

Supply Chain Standards and Supplier Audits

We recognise that the greatest risk of modern slavery often lies within complex supply chains. Waste Disposal Canary Wharf therefore requires suppliers to confirm that they comply with all applicable labour and human rights laws and that they actively work to prevent modern slavery in their own operations and supply networks.

As part of our due diligence processes, suppliers may be required to complete self-assessment questionnaires that address working conditions, recruitment practices, and worker welfare. We conduct risk-based supplier audits, which may include site visits, document reviews, and worker interviews where appropriate and lawful. These audits are designed to assess compliance with our ethical standards and identify areas for improvement.

If non-compliance or unacceptable practices are identified, we seek to work collaboratively with suppliers to implement corrective actions within clear timeframes. Where serious or repeated breaches occur, we will consider suspending or ending the commercial relationship.

Training, Awareness, and Reporting Channels

We provide relevant training and guidance to employees and key managers so they can recognise signs of modern slavery and understand how to respond to potential concerns. Training is tailored to roles that are more likely to encounter supply chain or labour risks, such as procurement, operations, and contract management.

Waste Disposal Canary Wharf encourages a culture of openness and accountability. We maintain confidential reporting channels through which employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders can raise concerns about suspected modern slavery or unethical conduct. Reports can be made to line managers, senior management, or via our designated whistleblowing channel. All concerns are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled sensitively, with no victimisation of those who raise issues in good faith.

Governance, Accountability, and Annual Review

Responsibility for overseeing our approach to modern slavery rests with the senior management team of Waste Disposal Canary Wharf. They ensure that appropriate policies, controls, and resources are in place to manage risks and drive continuous improvement across the organisation and supply chain.

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least annually to reflect changes in legislation, industry best practice, and our own business operations. As part of the review, we evaluate the effectiveness of our controls, supplier due diligence, audits, training programmes, and reporting mechanisms. Where necessary, we update our policies and procedures to strengthen our safeguards and further reduce the risk of modern slavery.

By publishing this statement, Waste Disposal Canary Wharf reaffirms its commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking and to conducting business ethically, transparently, and with respect for the fundamental rights and freedoms of all individuals.
