Modern Slavery Statement — Skip Hire Euston

Skip Hire Euston is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all our operations and supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out how the company, trading as skip-hire Euston and related trading entities, identifies, prevents and mitigates the risks of slavery and human trafficking. We apply a zero-tolerance policy to any form of exploitation and we expect the same standards from our contractors and suppliers.

As an organisation providing waste management and skip hire services across Euston and surrounding areas, Skip Hire in Euston recognises the potential for abuse in complex supply chains. Our approach combines robust policies, staff training, and periodic supplier reviews to ensure that modern slavery is neither present in our business nor tolerated among our partners.

We maintain a clear and enforced zero-tolerance policy against forced labour, debt bondage, child labour and other exploitative practices. This policy is communicated to all staff, contractors and suppliers and forms part of contract terms and procurement processes carried out by Euston skip hire teams. Any breach is treated seriously and results in immediate investigation and remedial action.

To reinforce this commitment Skip Hire Euston performs regular supplier audits and due diligence on prospective and existing suppliers. Audits include documentary checks, site visits where appropriate, and assessment of labour practices and recruitment processes. We require suppliers to confirm compliance with our anti-slavery standards and to implement their own policies that reflect equivalent protections.

Our supplier audit framework includes:

• Risk-based screening for all new suppliers and subcontractors;
• Periodic on-site audits and remote verifications;
• Contract clauses mandating compliance with anti-slavery legislation and immediate corrective action if issues are found.

Internally, we provide training to employees and managers on identifying signs of exploitation and appropriate escalation routes. The Euston skip hire compliance team monitors changes in legislation and best practice and updates training materials accordingly. Strong leadership and worker awareness are central to preventing abuse.

We also maintain clear reporting channels so concerns can be raised confidentially and without fear of retaliation. Staff, subcontractors and third parties are encouraged to report suspected modern slavery through multiple channels, including anonymised reporting mechanisms. All reports are investigated by our compliance team with documented outcomes and follow-up actions.

Reporting channels are accessible and promoted across the business: a dedicated internal hotline, a secure email reporting route, and escalation to senior management where necessary. Reports trigger immediate triage, risk assessment and, if required, referral to relevant authorities. We emphasise protection for whistleblowers and those who come forward.

Contractual and remedial measures

Contractual commitments form a cornerstone of our approach. All procurement contracts include clauses that require compliance with anti-slavery laws and grant the company rights to audit, suspend or terminate agreements where serious non-compliance is identified. Where breaches are minor and remediable, suppliers must present a clear remediation plan and timeline.

Monitoring, review and continuous improvement

Skip Hire Euston undertakes an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and our controls. The review examines the effectiveness of supplier audits, training uptake, the number and nature of reports received, and remediation outcomes. Findings are used to strengthen policies and update our risk assessments for the Euston skip hire supply chains.

Commitments going forward: We will continue to refine our supplier audit programme, expand targeted training, and enhance reporting visibility across the business. We will maintain a policy of zero tolerance, ensure robust supplier due diligence and make annual disclosures on progress. By embedding these measures throughout our operations and supply networks, Skip Hire Euston seeks to play a proactive role in eradicating modern slavery from our industry.
