Skip Hire Limehouse Modern Slavery Statement

Skip Hire Limehouse is committed to conducting business responsibly and with respect for human rights. This statement explains our approach to preventing modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour within our operations and supply chain. We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery and require the same standards from our suppliers, contractors and partners.

The policy applies across all Limehouse skip hire services, including local skip collection, waste management and contracted logistics. Our leadership team has endorsed a corporate code of conduct that emphasises transparency, ethical sourcing and worker dignity. We embed these principles into procurement, staff training and subcontractor management to reduce risk in all areas of our skip-hire operations.

Scope and commitment

We acknowledge the complexity of supply chains supporting skip hire in Limehouse and the wider region. To address this, Skip Hire Limehouse has adopted proactive due diligence, supplier risk assessment and monitoring measures. We require suppliers to confirm compliance with anti-slavery laws and to provide evidence of fair labour practices, lawful recruitment and humane working conditions.

Zero-Tolerance Policy

Our zero-tolerance approach means that any identified instance of modern slavery will prompt immediate action. Actions can include suspension of contracts, mandatory remediation with independent oversight or termination of the relationship and reporting to relevant authorities. We expect all contractors and suppliers to adhere to our standards and to cooperate with investigations.

Supplier audits and due diligence are central to our approach. We perform risk-based audits of suppliers, prioritising those in high-risk geographies and sectors. Audit activities include:

• Documentary checks of payroll, working hours and right-to-work evidence
• Site visits and worker interviews where feasible
• Review of recruitment chains used by subcontractors

These supplier assessments inform corrective action plans and continuous improvement initiatives across the skip hire supply network.

Reporting channels are available to all employees, subcontractors and third parties who wish to raise concerns. We maintain confidential reporting mechanisms, protect whistleblowers from retaliation and ensure timely investigation of allegations. Reports can be made internally through designated managers or anonymously via third-party reporting tools maintained by our governance team. All reports are logged, assessed for severity and escalated appropriately.

Training and implementation

We provide regular training for staff, managers and procurement teams to identify signs of exploitation and to understand reporting procedures. Training covers indicators of forced labour, ethical recruitment practices and the legal obligations applicable to skip-hire operations. Employees are encouraged to apply a risk-aware mindset when engaging suppliers or subcontractors.

Supply chain transparency is reinforced through contractual obligations, supplier declarations and spot checks. We require vendors to map their labour supply chains and to disclose the use of labour providers. Where risks are identified, we engage collaboratively to remediate issues, prioritising the safety and rights of affected workers while protecting service continuity for customers reliant on our Limehouse skip hire services.

In line with our commitment to continual improvement, Skip Hire Limehouse undertakes an annual review of our policies, procedures and due diligence outcomes. The review assesses the effectiveness of supplier audits, incident response and training programmes, and updates risk assessments to reflect changing conditions. Findings from the annual review are used to refine the action plan for the following year.
