Modern Slavery Statement — Skip Hire Gunnersbury

Skip Hire Gunnersbury is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking within our business and supply chains. This modern slavery statement outlines our zero-tolerance approach and the measures we implement to identify, prevent and address the risk of exploitation related to our skip hire operations. We recognise that as a responsible Gunnersbury skip hire provider, maintaining ethical standards is fundamental to our licence to operate and to protecting vulnerable workers.

We have a clear zero-tolerance policy on forced labour, debt bondage, and any form of modern slavery across Skip-hire Gunnersbury activities. All employees, contractors and suppliers are required to comply with this policy as a condition of engagement. We emphasise that any breach of labour standards will be treated seriously and may lead to termination of contracts or referral to relevant authorities.

Our commitment extends to robust contractual protections: agreements with sub-contractors and suppliers include explicit anti-slavery clauses and expectations for labour standards. As a local Skip Hire in Gunnersbury operator, we seek to ensure that those who provide goods and services to us adhere to the same high standards, and we require suppliers to represent their compliance in writing.

Due Diligence, Supplier Audits and Risk Assessment

We conduct systematic risk assessments across our operations and supply network. Our due diligence includes reviewing recruitment practices, wages, working hours and accommodation where relevant. Where risks are identified, supplier audits are scheduled to verify practices and documentation. These audits combine remote checks and on-site inspections, and are prioritised based on geographic and sector-specific risk factors.

In support of compliance we operate a supplier assurance programme that outlines mandatory checks and corrective action plans. This programme contains a checklist that covers right-to-work verification, employment contracts, and health and safety standards. Where non-compliance is found, we require immediate remediation, continuous monitoring and, if necessary, contract termination. Our approach to supplier audits emphasises transparency and progressive improvement.

To further strengthen prevention, Skip Hire Gunnersbury invests in staff training and awareness-raising so that our workforce can recognise indicators of exploitation. Training sessions cover reporting obligations, safe recruitment practices and how to escalate suspected incidents in line with our policies.

Reporting Channels, Response and Annual Review

We maintain clear and confidential reporting channels for concerns related to modern slavery. Employees and third parties can raise issues through internal procedures that guarantee impartial investigation. Our investigations follow a documented process, including evidence collection, risk management and liaison with enforcement agencies where appropriate.

The company also fosters protections for whistleblowers and ensures that those who report concerns are not subject to retaliation. We believe prompt and responsible handling of reports is essential to remedy harm and to prevent recurrence. Remediation may include restitution, reassignment, supplier sanctions or other corrective measures depending on the circumstance.

This modern slavery statement is reviewed annually to ensure its effectiveness. The annual review includes evaluation of audit results, incident reports, training outcomes and supplier performance metrics. Key performance indicators are used to measure progress, and the board receives regular updates to align policy, resource allocation and continuous improvement initiatives.

In summary, Skip Hire Gunnersbury is dedicated to tackling modern slavery across our business and procurement network. We will continue to strengthen our controls, conduct targeted supplier audits, provide accessible reporting channels and perform an annual review of our policies to ensure ongoing compliance and protection of human rights.
