Trash London Modern Slavery Statement

Trash London publishes this Modern Slavery Statement to set out our commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all parts of our operations and supply chains. This statement reflects our zero-tolerance approach to forced labour, bonded labour, human trafficking and any exploitation. As part of our modern slavery policy, we are committed to transparency, continuous improvement and accountability across the business.

We operate a clear zero-tolerance stance: any credible allegation of modern slavery within our operations or amongst our contractors and suppliers is investigated and addressed. Our anti-slavery commitment is embedded in procurement, contracting and site practices. We require all staff and partners to understand these expectations through regular training and leadership communication.

Our supplier due diligence and supplier audits form a core part of our modern slavery statement for Trash London. We conduct risk-based supplier assessments, vetting onboarding partners, and scheduling periodic reviews. Where higher risks are identified, we undertake enhanced audits, request remediation plans, and, where necessary, suspend or terminate relationships to protect vulnerable workers and uphold our standards.

To ensure practical action, Trash London operates an ethical procurement framework that includes contractual clauses prohibiting forced labour and requiring compliance with labour laws and ethical standards. We maintain a supplier code of conduct and expect suppliers to flow these requirements down the supply chain. Suppliers are monitored through documentation checks, site visits and targeted interviews where needed.

We provide training and awareness programmes for our employees and managers covering recognition of signs of exploitation, reporting obligations and victim support. Training is repeated annually and tailored by role. Our HR and compliance teams work together to ensure staff know how to escalate concerns and how to support individuals who may be affected.

Trash London has established multiple reporting channels to facilitate confidential, safe and effective reporting of suspected modern slavery. These include anonymous reporting mechanisms, internal escalation paths to senior management and a formal grievance process. We ensure reports are handled sensitively, promptly and in line with data protection and whistleblower protections.

Our investigations follow a clear and consistent process: triage, fact-gathering, risk assessment, remedial action and monitoring. Where exploitation is identified, we prioritise victim care, collaborate with relevant authorities and specialist organisations, and seek to remediate harm. We will enforce contractual remedies and take decisive action against non-compliant partners.

We publish our commitments and progress in an annual review. The annual review examines the effectiveness of controls, supplier audit results, training completion rates and any incidents or remediation actions taken. It also sets targets for the following year to strengthen our anti-slavery work and refine our modern slavery policy and procedures.

Our governance arrangements allocate responsibility for anti-slavery to senior leaders and relevant committees, ensuring oversight and resourcing. Performance metrics and risk indicators are reviewed regularly and inform board-level reporting. We strive to improve transparency across the supply chain and to demonstrate how our modern slavery statement and anti-slavery measures produce measurable outcomes.
