Parsons Green Skip Hire - Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the commitment of Parsons Green Skip Hire to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our business and supply chain. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of slavery, forced labour, servitude or human trafficking. This slavery and human trafficking statement explains our approach, risk mitigation measures and continuous improvement obligations under our modern slavery policy.

Our organisation operates with clear values and expectations. We expect all employees, contractors and suppliers to uphold these standards. The Parsons Green Skip Hire modern slavery statement applies to all operations and to all third parties engaged to provide goods and services. We communicate our stance through training, contract terms and procurement criteria, and we require suppliers to confirm compliance with ethical labour standards.

Supplier expectations are central to how we manage the risk of modern slavery. We carry out risk-based supplier due diligence and perform supplier audits where appropriate. This includes assessment of labour practices, right-to-work checks and verification of working conditions. Our audit process may include:

• Documentation review of employment records and payroll
• On-site inspections and interviews
• Corrective action plans and follow-up audits

Scope and Responsibility

The scope of this modern slavery policy covers Parsons Green Skip Hire and its subsidiaries, contractors and direct suppliers. Senior management and the board endorse the slavery and human trafficking statement, and specific roles are assigned to ensure effective implementation. Procurement, operations and HR share responsibility for embedding anti-slavery measures into policies and daily practices.

Reporting channels are in place to allow concerns about forced labour or exploitation to be raised safely and confidentially. We operate multiple reporting routes, including internal line managers and designated whistleblowing contacts. All reports are taken seriously; we investigate promptly and apply remedial actions where breaches are identified. Employees are protected from retaliation for raising concerns in good faith.

We promote awareness through regular training and briefings. Staff involved in procurement and supplier management receive targeted training on recognising signs of exploitation and the steps to take if issues are suspected. Our recruitment partners are required to adhere to our standards and provide transparent worker engagement practices.

Due Diligence, Audits and Continuous Improvement

Our due diligence process for the supply chain involves risk profiling, contractual obligations and periodic reviews. We conduct supplier audits and use risk indicators such as geography, sector and worker vulnerability to prioritise checks. When non-compliance is found, corrective action plans are mandated and monitored to ensure sustainable remediation.

Zero-tolerance policy is more than a statement; it is an operational standard. Any confirmed case of modern slavery results in immediate action, which may include termination of the supplier relationship and notification to appropriate authorities. We seek to remediate harm to affected individuals wherever possible in line with legal and ethical obligations.

In keeping with our commitment to transparency and accountability, Parsons Green Skip Hire will conduct an annual review of this modern slavery statement and the effectiveness of our measures. The slavery and human trafficking statement will be updated to reflect changes in operations, new risks and the outcomes of audits. We are committed to continuous improvement, working collaboratively with suppliers and stakeholders to eradicate modern slavery from our value chain.
