Modern Slavery Statement — Yiewsley Skip Hire

Yiewsley Skip Hire is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms across our operations. This statement sets out the principles and actions adopted by Yiewsley skip-hire services and Yiewsley Skip Hire Ltd to identify, mitigate and remediate any risk of exploitation among our workforce, contractors and supply chain.

We operate a zero-tolerance policy to any form of forced labour, child labour, servitude or human trafficking. Our policy applies to all employees, agency staff, drivers, subcontractors and suppliers engaged by Yiewsley skips and Yiewsley waste management partners. This approach is embedded in our employment practices, procurement processes and contractor onboarding.

Our commitments include clear responsibilities for senior management and operational teams. The Board endorses this Modern Slavery Statement for the company and ensures resource allocation to prevention measures. We maintain mandatory training that raises awareness of modern slavery indicators and reporting procedures among operational staff and third-party personnel.

To strengthen controls across the supply chain we conduct targeted supplier audits and risk assessments. These are prioritised by geography, sector risk and contractual exposure. Audits include documentation checks, interviews where appropriate and verification of employment records to confirm lawful and fair working conditions with our suppliers for skips and waste transport.

Our vendor due diligence involves contractual clauses that require suppliers to comply with modern slavery laws and to permit audits. Non-compliance results in remediation plans and, where necessary, contract termination. We work with suppliers to implement corrective action, using a continuous improvement approach rather than punitive measures where feasible.

We operate clear reporting channels to enable confidential and protected disclosures. Employees and third parties can report concerns through an internal whistleblowing line and via designated compliance officers. Reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and actions tracked. We ensure no retaliation against reporters and offer support mechanisms for anyone affected by suspected exploitation.

Key elements of our prevention program include regular site checks, contractual controls and worker interviews. We maintain records of checks and corrective actions. In addition to audits, we conduct supplier workshops and share good practice to raise standards across our regional network of skip and waste handling partners.

Our commitments are summarised below in simple terms:

• Zero-tolerance: immediate action on any evidence of slavery or trafficking.
• Supplier audits: ongoing verification and risk-based monitoring of vendors and subcontractors.
• Reporting channels: secure, confidential methods for raising concerns.
• Annual review: systematic evaluation of policies and performance to drive improvement.

We conduct an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and our practices to ensure continued relevance, effectiveness and alignment with evolving legal and industry standards. The review examines audit findings, incident reports, training completion rates and supplier performance metrics. Outcomes inform updates to procurement clauses, operational checks and staff training content.
