Modern Slavery Statement — Commercial Waste Queens Park

This Modern Slavery Statement describes the commitment of Commercial Waste Queens Park and its related operations to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms. As a provider of Queens Park commercial waste services, we accept a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, child labour, or exploitation across our workforce and supply chain. We are committed to transparency and continuous improvement in how we identify and respond to modern slavery risks within our business and the wider commercial waste - Queens Park sector.

Policy and Commitment

Our policy applies to all employees, contractors and suppliers engaged by CW Queens Park. The board endorses a zero-tolerance stance: any allegation or evidence of slavery or human trafficking will result in immediate action, which may include termination of contracts and referral to law enforcement. This statement sets out how we assess and manage risks to ensure that our commercial waste services in Queens Park are delivered ethically and lawfully.

We define modern slavery broadly to include forced labour, debt bondage, servitude, human trafficking and the worst forms of child labour. Our approach combines risk assessment, contractual protections, and operational controls. We require all suppliers to adhere to our standards and to confirm that they have appropriate policies and processes in place to prevent slavery and trafficking in their own operations and supply chains.

Supplier due diligence is central to our approach. Before engaging vendors we conduct risk-based screening which considers geography, labour intensity and subcontracting practices. For sustained partnerships with Commercial waste Queens Park, suppliers must provide documentation, declarations and, where necessary, evidence of payroll, recruitment practices and worker rights protections. We incorporate anti-slavery clauses into contracts to make expectations and consequences explicit.

Supplier Audits and Oversight

We operate a programme of supplier audits and site visits tailored to risk. Audits combine documentation review, remote checks and physical inspections. Where risks are elevated, we perform enhanced due diligence, including unannounced audits and worker interviews. Audit findings are tracked, and suppliers are required to implement corrective action plans within agreed timelines. Persistent non-compliance may lead to contract suspension or termination to protect workers and our community.

Risk management at CW Queens Park includes training for procurement and operations teams, supplier scorecards, and supply chain mapping to identify high-risk tiers. We use a mixture of internal resources and independent third-party experts to validate high-risk supplier information and remediation activities, ensuring our Queens Park commercial waste services meet ethical standards.

Reporting channels are provided for employees, contractors and third parties to raise concerns confidentially and without fear of retaliation. These channels include an internal whistleblowing route and an anonymous reporting mechanism; we promote a culture where reporting suspected exploitation is encouraged. Key reporting methods include:

• Internal secure reporting line administered by our compliance team
• Anonymous third-party reporting portal for supply chain concerns
• Escalation to senior management and, where required, local authorities

We ensure timely investigation of all reports, protection for whistleblowers, and documented outcomes. Our response protocol integrates risk-based prioritisation so that urgent matters receive immediate attention and appropriate remedial action.

Accountability and governance are maintained through regular board-level oversight of modern slavery risks. We review the effectiveness of policies, supplier audits and reporting channels annually. Each year we update our Modern Slavery Statement to reflect findings from audits, changes in regulation, and lessons learned from investigations. Training is refreshed for staff and procurement teams to reinforce our expectations and practical steps to spot and report signs of exploitation.

In closing, Commercial Waste Queens Park, Commercial Waste - Queens Park and CW Queens Park reaffirm our ongoing pledge: to identify, mitigate and remediate modern slavery risks throughout our operations and supply chain. We will continue to strengthen our processes, hold partners to account, and report transparently on progress as part of our annual review cycle.
