Supply Chain Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

We conduct risk-based due diligence across our supplier network to identify potential exposure to modern slavery. Supplier audits form a cornerstone of this process. Audit activities assess labour standards, recruitment practices and subcontracting arrangements used by suppliers serving the skip hire in Sanderstead market.

Audit procedures are proportional to risk and include documentation review, on-site checks and interviews where necessary. Our audit programme focuses on high-risk suppliers and those operating in jurisdictions with elevated vulnerability to exploitation. Audit outcomes influence procurement decisions and ongoing supplier relationships.

• Supplier selection checks — verification of identity, legal status and labour practices.
• Contract clauses — mandatory anti-slavery representations and right to audit clauses in agreements.
• Periodic audits — scheduled and unannounced reviews to verify compliance.
• Corrective actions — timelines and escalation for remediation where breaches are found.

We maintain secure and accessible reporting channels so employees, contractors and third parties can raise concerns confidentially.

In cases where criminal activity is suspected, we will cooperate fully with relevant authorities to ensure victims are protected.
