Due Diligence and Supplier Audits
All suppliers to our commercial waste services Herne Hill operations undergo a risk-based due diligence process before onboarding. This includes assessment of labour practices, recruitment methods and subcontractor management. Contracts include clauses that require compliance with anti-slavery legislation and allow for audit and termination where non-compliance is found.
We conduct regular supplier audits and site visits focused on higher-risk categories within our waste removal supply chain. Audits evaluate pay practices, working hours, freedom of movement, document control and recruitment fees. Following each audit we issue corrective action plans and track remediation until compliance is demonstrated. For persistent or serious violations we suspend or terminate the business relationship.
To support transparency we ask suppliers to provide evidence of payroll records, identity checks and recruitment contracts. We also promote best practices through supplier workshops and capacity-building for smaller contractors who provide business waste Herne Hill services.
Reporting Channels and Staff Protection

Employees and third parties can report concerns through our confidential, independently managed reporting mechanism and via direct line manager escalation. Reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and subject to appropriate safeguarding measures.
