Modern Slavery Statement — Archway Skip Hire

Archway Skip Hire publishes this Modern Slavery Statement to set out our commitment to preventing modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking throughout our operations and supply chain. This modern slavery and human trafficking statement explains our policies, controls and the actions we take to reduce the risk of exploitation. We use varied terminology in this document — including anti-slavery statement, slavery and forced labour policy and Modern Slavery compliance — to ensure clarity across partners and stakeholders.

We operate a zero-tolerance policy toward slavery and human trafficking. All employees, contractors and suppliers must comply with our expectations. Breaches of this policy will lead to investigation and appropriate action, up to and including termination of contracts and referral to authorities where warranted. The zero tolerance approach is embedded in procurement, HR practices and site procedures.

Our supply chain management includes regular supplier assessments to identify and address risks. Supplier audits, contractual clauses and site visits are used to verify working conditions and confirm compliance with our slavery and human trafficking statement. We require suppliers to demonstrate that they pay fair wages, maintain accurate records and prohibit forced, bonded or exploitative labour.

Scope and responsibilities are clearly defined. The policy applies to all Archway Skip Hire locations, service providers and contractors engaged on our behalf. Senior management has ultimate responsibility, with designated compliance leads overseeing due diligence and reporting. The statement sets out how Archway Skip Hire prevents, detects and responds to incidents of exploitation.

Our due diligence process includes supplier risk profiling, enhanced checks for high-risk categories and follow-up actions for non-compliance. We evaluate recruitment practices, subcontracting arrangements and any use of migrant labour. Where necessary, we require corrective action plans and monitor their implementation until satisfactory closure.

Reporting channels are maintained to encourage disclosure and to protect whistleblowers. Employees and third parties can raise concerns through designated internal routes. We operate confidential mechanisms and ensure that anyone reporting suspected slavery is supported and protected from retaliation. Reports are logged, investigated and remediated in a timely manner.

Archway Skip Hire enforces controls that include:

• Supplier audits and on-site inspections to verify labour practices.
• Contractual clauses that require compliance with our Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement.
• Training programmes for procurement teams, site managers and HR personnel.

Training and awareness are central to our approach. We provide regular training materials to ensure staff recognise signs of exploitation and understand reporting mechanisms. Contract managers and recruitment partners must complete mandatory briefings and workshops to align with our standards.

Where breaches are found, Archway Skip Hire pursues remediation, which can include requiring immediate corrective actions, terminating relationships with non-compliant parties and cooperating with enforcement authorities. We focus on victim support and remediation in our investigations.

We continuously monitor performance and effectiveness through KPIs, audit outcomes and supplier performance reviews. Internal audits and third-party assessments inform improvements to policies and controls. Our approach uses both preventive and detective measures to strengthen Modern Slavery compliance across the business.

Governance includes board-level oversight and clear ownership of anti-slavery measures. The board reviews risk assessments and progress against action plans. Responsibilities are allocated to ensure that the slavery and forced labour policy is embedded within procurement, operations and HR systems.

This statement will be reviewed annually and updated to reflect evolving legal requirements, sector best practice and the outcomes of supplier audits. The annual review sets out new priorities, resource allocation and measurable targets for the following year. Archway Skip Hire remains committed to continuous improvement and to maintaining a transparent, strong and enforceable stance against modern slavery.
