Modern Slavery Statement — Skip Hire Erith Commitment

Skip Hire Erith is committed to upholding the highest standards of integrity and human rights across our operations and supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our position on modern slavery and human trafficking and explains the steps we take to ensure that forced labour, child labour, and related abuses do not exist in our business and with our suppliers.

We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of exploitation. Our zero-tolerance policy applies to all employees, contractors and partners engaged by Erith skip hire services, including temporary labour and subcontractors. Any breach is treated as a serious disciplinary matter and will result in corrective action up to and including termination of contracts.

As part of this promise our Erith-based skip hire business requires that suppliers and partners comply with our Code of Conduct. We assess potential suppliers using due diligence checks before engagement and maintain ongoing monitoring for high-risk suppliers. The phrase Erith skip hire is central to our identity and we insist every actor in our supply chain honours our standards for lawful and ethical employment.

Our approach includes a structured compliance programme reinforced by training and oversight. Employees involved in procurement and operations receive mandatory training on recognising the signs of exploitation. We also provide guidance to subcontractors and use clear contractual terms requiring compliance with anti-slavery laws and the right for us to audit employment practices within supplier operations.

Supplier audits form a core part of our prevention strategy. These audits include documentary checks, site visits where applicable, and interviews to verify working conditions, wage practices, and the freedom of movement for workers. For higher-risk suppliers we carry out enhanced reviews and, where necessary, require remediation plans or replace suppliers that fail to meet our standards.

We use a risk-based scoring model to prioritise audits and due diligence activities across our skip-hire supply base. The model factors in country, sector, contract value and existing performance. SkipHire Erith applies the same rigorous process to third-party logistics and recycling partners who play a significant role in our operations.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We provide clear reporting channels for employees, contractors and third parties to raise concerns. Reports are taken seriously and investigated promptly. Confidentiality and protection against retaliation are assured. Our reporting routes are accessible and widely communicated during onboarding and via refresher briefings.

To ensure transparency we maintain a formal grievance process and encourage the use of internal reporting in the first instance. If internal channels are unsuitable, we facilitate anonymous reporting mechanisms. All reports relating to modern slavery or unethical labour practices are logged, assessed and acted upon by senior management.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

We conduct an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and our anti-slavery measures to reflect changes in law, emerging risks and lessons learned from investigations and audits. This annual review includes an analysis of incident trends, audit outcomes and supplier remediation progress.

Our commitments are reinforced through measurable objectives, which include increasing the percentage of suppliers audited each year, improving training completion rates and reducing high-risk supplier exposures. We continually refine our policies and processes so that skip-hire Erith remains vigilant, compliant and proactive in preventing modern slavery.

By publishing this statement, Skip Hire Erith confirms its ongoing resolve to protect human rights and promote ethical labour standards across our business and supply chain. Our zero-tolerance stance, supplier audit programme, secure reporting channels and annual review cycle form the foundation of our efforts to eradicate modern slavery from our operations.
