Modern Slavery Statement — Aldgate Skip Hire

Aldgate Skip Hire is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our business. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our ongoing approach to identifying, assessing and mitigating the risks of forced labour, bonded labour and human trafficking across our operations and supply chain. We operate a zero-tolerance approach and expect the same standards from our partners and suppliers.

We operate a clear zero-tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery and exploitation. Our anti-slavery policy defines unacceptable conduct, promotes ethical recruitment and prohibits the retention of identity documents or withholding of wages. Every manager and contractor is required to comply with this anti-slavery statement and to take immediate action if concerns arise.

To support this Aldgate Skip Hire modern slavery policy we carry out supplier due diligence and targeted supplier audits. Our process includes:

• Risk assessment of suppliers and subcontractors;
• Onsite and desk-based reviews where appropriate;
• Contractual obligations requiring compliance with labour standards.

These audits and assessments form part of our procurement lifecycle and drive corrective actions when non-compliance is found.

We have established reporting channels that allow employees, contractors and third parties to raise concerns confidentially and securely. Our reporting channels are clearly communicated internally and include anonymous reporting mechanisms. All reports are taken seriously, investigated promptly and escalated to senior management. Reporting channels are supported by a strict non-retaliation approach to protect whistleblowers.

Training and awareness are key elements of our anti-slavery strategy. Staff involved in procurement, operations and human resources receive regular training on recognising signs of modern slavery and on how to use reporting channels. We also provide guidance to suppliers about our expectations, encouraging transparency and cooperation in investigations and corrective measures.

Supplier audits at Aldgate Skip Hire are risk-based and proportionate. Where higher risk is identified, we implement enhanced due diligence, increased frequency of audits and mandatory remediation plans. Supplier audits document findings, require corrective timelines and may lead to contract suspension or termination for persistent breaches. Our audit approach includes worker interviews, document reviews and verification of recruitment practices.

When instances of modern slavery are suspected or confirmed, Aldgate Skip Hire will act to protect affected individuals and remediate harm where possible. Remediation may include ensuring safe work alternatives, collaborating with authorities and supporting access to medical or legal assistance. We maintain records of investigations and outcomes to ensure accountability and learnings.

Compliance with this modern slavery policy is built into our supplier contracts and procurement terms. We use contractual warranties, audit rights and termination clauses to enforce standards. Our senior leadership team reviews compliance metrics and audit outcomes as part of routine governance to ensure continuous improvement.

This statement and our anti-slavery measures are subject to an annual review. Each year we evaluate our policies, training, supplier audits and reporting performance, and update our approach to reflect emerging risks and best practice. Aldgate Skip Hire remains committed to preventing modern slavery across our operations and supply chain, and to publishing progress through our annual review cycle.
