Garbage London Modern Slavery Statement

Garbage London affirms a zero-tolerance policy to all forms of modern slavery and human exploitation. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines our approach to preventing forced labour, exploitation and trafficking across our operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to act ethically, to protect workers, and to ensure that slavery and human trafficking have no place in the services and waste management activities we provide. The company name, Garbage London, is committed to continuous improvement in this area.

Our commitment and scope

We operate across multiple service lines and engage with a range of suppliers and contractors. Our commitment covers all employees, contractors and business partners. We implement risk-based due diligence, training, and governance to mitigate the risk of modern slavery. The policy applies to all workers including temporary staff, subcontractors, and those providing goods and services to our sites. We maintain clear standards and expect the same high standards from our suppliers.

To ensure practical delivery against this anti-slavery stance, Garbage London has set out the following measures:

• Supplier due diligence and risk assessment before onboarding;
• Contract clauses that forbid forced labour and human trafficking;
• Regular training for staff to recognise signs of exploitation.

Zero-tolerance policy and expectations

Our zero-tolerance position means we will take decisive action where breaches are identified. Such actions include contractual remedies, termination of contracts and reporting to appropriate authorities where criminal activity is suspected. We require suppliers to demonstrate compliance with labour standards and to provide evidence when requested. All employees are encouraged to treat concerns seriously and to use established channels to report issues.

Supplier audits and monitoring

We operate a structured audit programme to verify supplier compliance. Audits include documentation reviews, site visits and interviews with workers where appropriate. We use a risk-based approach that prioritises higher-risk geographies, services and subcontracting tiers. Audit findings prompt corrective action plans with clear timelines and follow-up reviews. When suppliers fail to remedy serious issues, we will suspend or terminate relationships. These supplier audits are a cornerstone of our efforts to eradicate modern slavery and forced labour in our procurement footprint.

Reporting channels and whistleblowing

Garbage London maintains confidential reporting channels to enable workers, contractors and stakeholders to raise concerns safely. Reports can be raised internally through line managers and designated compliance officers, or via authorised third-party reporting mechanisms where anonymity is required. We protect whistleblowers from retaliation and assess all allegations promptly and impartially. All reports are logged, investigated, and, where necessary, referred to the appropriate enforcement agencies.

Annual review, governance and continuous improvement

We conduct an annual review of this anti-slavery statement and associated policies to ensure effectiveness and relevance. The review examines audit outcomes, incident reports, supplier performance, training completion rates and changes in risk exposure. The Board and senior management team oversee governance and approve updates. We commit to transparent reporting of progress and to updating our approach where evidence suggests improved controls or new risks.

Conclusion: Garbage London remains focused on preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all its forms. Our policies combine prevention, detection and remedy through training, supplier audits, clear contractual expectations, protected reporting channels and an annual review cycle. By embedding these measures across operations and supply chains we aim to reduce the risk of exploitation and uphold worker dignity. We will continue to develop our modern slavery statement and related controls as part of a long-term commitment to ethical and responsible business practice.
