Modern Slavery Statement — Commercial Waste Removal Seven Sisters

Commercial Waste Removal Seven Sisters is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our operations. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines our zero-tolerance policy and describes the steps we take to ensure that forced labour, debt bondage, and exploitative practices have no place in our business, our supply chain or allied services. We firmly believe that ethical waste management goes hand in hand with respect for human rights and dignity.

Our statement covers the activities of Seven Sisters commercial waste removal operations, contractors, sub-contractors and suppliers. We define modern slavery broadly to include exploitation in supply chains for equipment, transport, recycling and waste processing. We expect every partner engaged with CWR Seven Sisters to share our standards and to act with integrity and transparency. All employees and contractors are trained to recognise risks and to escalate concerns promptly.

To give effect to this commitment, we maintain a zero-tolerance stance toward modern slavery. Any verified instance of exploitation will result in immediate contractual review, suspension of the relationship and, where appropriate, referral to law enforcement. Our people policies reinforce ethical recruitment practices, fair wages and safe working conditions, and we regularly review payroll, working hours and accommodation arrangements to spot red flags early.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

We operate a structured supplier due diligence and audit programme that targets areas of higher risk across the commercial waste removal sector. Before onboarding, suppliers undergo screening for compliance with labour standards and modern slavery criteria. Our procurement team uses risk-based assessment tools to prioritise audits with a focus on transport contractors, third-party recycling facilities and manual handling operations.

Audit activity includes documentary checks, site visits and worker interviews where practical. We maintain a checklist aligned with recognised standards and incorporate modern slavery clauses into contracts to secure the right to audit and to require remediation. Audits produce written findings and corrective action plans; persistent non-compliance leads to contract termination. Our approach balances verification, capacity-building and, where needed, decisive contractual action.

Key elements of our supplier assurance programme include:

• Risk-based supplier segmentation to focus resources.
• Periodic on-site audits for high-risk partners.
• Contractual requirements for ethical recruitment and worker protections.
• Follow-up monitoring and documented remediation plans.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We provide multiple secure and confidential reporting channels so that concerns about modern slavery can be raised without fear of reprisal. Employees, subcontractors and third parties can report issues through an internal hotline, a dedicated secure email route and an independent whistleblower service. Reports are assessed promptly by our compliance team and escalated as needed to senior management for action.

All reports are treated with sensitivity and confidentiality. We ensure that individuals who raise concerns are protected under our non-retaliation policy. Where allegations are substantiated, we apply proportionate remedies, including support for affected workers, termination of abusive contracts and referrals to third-party support agencies or law enforcement when appropriate.

Accountability and continuous improvement are central to our plan. We will conduct an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and the measures outlined herein to assess effectiveness, update risk assessments and strengthen supplier engagement. The annual review includes analysis of audit outcomes, incidents reported through our reporting channels, training completion rates and any changes in our operational footprint that may alter risk profiles.
