Modern Slavery Statement — Coney Hall Skip Hire

Coney Hall Skip Hire is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all parts of our business and supply chain. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we have taken and will continue to take to identify, prevent and address the risks of forced labour, exploitation and related abuses. We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery and expect our partners and suppliers to uphold the same high standards.

We recognise that the waste management and skip hire sector faces specific risks related to subcontracted labour, temporary workers and complex supply chains. As Coney Hall skip hire grows, we remain vigilant to the potential for exploitation and are committed to continuous improvement in our practices. Our approach combines policy, procurement safeguards and practical controls to reduce risk across operations, transport and site services.

This statement applies to all employees, contractors and third-party suppliers that provide goods or services to Coney Hall Skips and affiliated operations. We have publicly declared our stance and embedded obligations into supplier terms, ensuring contracts include explicit anti-slavery clauses. Through supplier selection and performance monitoring we seek to ensure that those we do business with share our commitment to ethical labour practices.

To implement our zero-tolerance policy, we undertake a range of due diligence activities and supplier audits. Key elements include:

• Pre-contract checks on labour practices and employment documentation;
• Regular on-site and remote audits of suppliers and subcontractors;
• Verification of pay, working hours and right-to-work evidence for vulnerable worker groups;
• Corrective action plans and escalation where non-compliance is identified.

We maintain robust reporting channels to ensure concerns are raised, investigated and resolved. Employees, contractors and third parties are encouraged to report suspected incidents of modern slavery through anonymous and confidential mechanisms. Reports are handled in line with our whistleblowing procedures, with protections against retaliation and clear escalation to senior management. Investigations are conducted promptly, sensitively and with appropriate remedial action where needed.

As part of our supplier assurance, we require periodic self-assessments and permit independent audits. Where high-risk suppliers are identified, enhanced monitoring is deployed and contractual remedies are enforced. Coney Hall Skip-Hire works collaboratively with suppliers to improve practices, including training and capacity building, but will terminate agreements where systemic abuses or refusals to remediate are found.

Governance and Training

Our Board and senior leadership are accountable for anti-slavery compliance. We deliver targeted training for procurement, operations and HR teams to recognise indicators of modern slavery and to follow our internal reporting procedures. We use risk-based supplier segmentation to concentrate resources where the potential for abuse is greatest, and we document all findings and actions taken to maintain transparency and traceability.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

We conduct an annual review of this modern slavery statement and our policies to assess effectiveness and identify improvements. The review includes evaluation of audit outcomes, training uptake, incident trends and remedial actions. Performance metrics and key performance indicators are updated to reflect evolving risks, and senior management approve changes to policy and practice. Where appropriate, we engage external specialists to strengthen our risk assessment and assurance activities.

In conclusion, Coney Hall Waste Services and Coney Hall Skip Hire Ltd reaffirm a strong commitment to combating modern slavery. We will not tolerate exploitation within our operations or by our suppliers. Through a combination of policy, supplier audits, clear reporting channels and an annual review process we seek to identify risk early, take decisive corrective action and continually improve standards across our business. This statement is reviewed at least once every 12 months to ensure ongoing relevance and effectiveness.
