Modern Slavery Statement — Skip Hire Brompton Commitment
Skip Hire Brompton is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms across our operations and supply chain. This statement sets out our approach and demonstrates that skip hire Brompton operates a zero-tolerance approach to any form of forced labour, servitude or exploitation. Our policies apply to all employees, contractors and business partners engaged in providing waste management and skip hire services.
We operate under a clear zero-tolerance policy which prohibits any involvement with modern slavery. All staff are trained to recognise risks and to act when concerns arise. As part of our commitment, Brompton skip hire services embed due diligence in recruitment, onboarding and ongoing employment practices to ensure fair pay, lawful working hours and the right to leave for every worker.
Our governance framework ensures accountability at every level. The Board and senior management regularly review risk assessments and compliance activity. We maintain written policies that set expectations for ethical conduct and require all suppliers and contractors engaged in skip-hire Brompton operations to meet our standards.
Measures and Supplier Controls
To mitigate the risk of modern slavery in our supply chain we employ a combination of proactive and reactive measures. These include supplier selection criteria, contractual obligations, and ongoing monitoring. We make use of risk-based supplier segmentation to focus resources where the risk is highest.
We conduct regular supplier audits and due diligence reviews. Audits assess labour practices, documentation, health and safety standards and recruitment channels. Where audits identify concerns we require corrective action plans and follow-up checks. For high-risk suppliers, we may impose enhanced oversight, require third-party verification or terminate contracts where systemic non-compliance is found.
Key elements of our supplier oversight include:
- Pre-contract screening and risk assessment for new vendors
- Periodic on-site and remote audits for existing suppliers
- Mandatory contractual clauses prohibiting forced labour and requiring transparency
- Training and capacity building for suppliers on ethical labour standards
Reporting, Remediation and Review
We maintain clear reporting channels to enable employees, contractors and third parties to raise concerns confidentially and without fear of retaliation. Reports can be raised internally through designated whistleblowing routes and are handled promptly, impartially and sensitively. Allegations are investigated and, where necessary, we take remedial action to protect victims and prevent recurrence.
When instances of modern slavery are identified, we apply a victim-centred response that may include immediate protection, support referrals and termination of relationships with offending parties. We also consider strengthening controls and sharing lessons learned across the organisation to reduce future risk.
Our commitment is ongoing: we perform an annual review of our modern slavery risks and control effectiveness. This includes evaluating policy performance, auditing outcomes, training completion rates and supplier compliance metrics. The review informs continuous improvement initiatives, ensuring that skip-hire Brompton remains vigilant and responsive to evolving risks in our sector.
Statement Approval: This modern slavery statement reflects the policies and practices of Skip Hire Brompton and is reviewed at least annually to ensure it remains current and effective. We are steadfast in our dedication to ethical operations and the eradication of modern slavery across our business and supply chain.
