Modern Slavery Statement — Commercial Waste Regents Park

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the commitment of Commercial Waste Regents Park and affiliated operations to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our business and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to ensure that all workers engaged through our Regents Park commercial waste services are treated fairly, paid appropriately and work in safe conditions. This statement applies to all sites, contractors and suppliers who provide goods or services to our organisation.

Our Policy and Zero-Tolerance Approach

Commercial Waste Regents Park has a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery. We will not knowingly support or work with any organisation that engages in forced labour, debt bondage, child labour or human trafficking. All staff are required to adhere to our anti-slavery policies, and managers must apply the policy consistently during recruitment, subcontracting and procurement.

Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

We conduct robust due diligence on suppliers and partners in our supply chain for Regents Park waste services. Our supplier assessment process includes:

• Risk screening based on sector, geography and labour practices.
• Contractual obligations requiring suppliers to comply with anti-slavery laws and permit audits.
• Onsite and remote audits to verify employment records and working conditions.

Supplier Monitoring and Continuous Improvement

We maintain an ongoing programme of supplier audits and monitoring for the commercial refuse and waste contractors who support Regents Park operations. Audit findings are recorded, and remediation plans are agreed with suppliers where risks are identified. Repeat non-compliance results in contract termination and removal from our approved supplier list.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Commercial Waste Regents Park encourages all employees, contractors and third parties to report concerns. We provide multiple safe reporting channels, including anonymous reporting via internal mechanisms and escalation to designated compliance officers. Reports are treated confidentially and investigated promptly. We protect whistleblowers from retaliation and ensure remedial action where exploitation is discovered. Reports may be raised without fear and will be followed up thoroughly.

Training, Communications and Employee Responsibility

We deliver regular training to staff and contractors on recognising signs of modern slavery and what to do if they suspect it. All procurement and operations teams receive tailored guidance so that the standards for Regents Park commercial waste procurement are applied consistently. Employees are expected to act in accordance with our policies and to raise concerns through the established reporting channels.

Risk Assessment and Key Performance Indicators

We perform periodic risk assessments across our operations and supply chains to identify exposure to modern slavery risks. Key performance indicators for our anti-slavery programme include audit completion rates, percentage of suppliers with corrective action plans, and time to close remediation items. These metrics inform targeted interventions and resource allocation.

Contractual Controls and Procurement Standards

Our procurement procedures for Regent Park commercial waste operations embed anti-slavery clauses and require suppliers to provide evidence of labour compliance. Contract awards consider ethical performance alongside cost and capability, and suppliers must allow access for independent verification. We use contractual levers to require improvements and to terminate relationships when necessary.

Annual Review and Ongoing Commitment

We will review this Modern Slavery Statement annually to reflect changes in legislation, operational changes and lessons learned from supplier audits and incident investigations. The review will assess effectiveness, update risk assessments and set objectives for the coming year. Commercial Waste Regents Park remains committed to continuous improvement, transparency and accountability in eliminating modern slavery from our operations and supply chains.
