Modern Slavery Statement — Pimlico Skip Hire
Pimlico Skip Hire publishes this Modern Slavery Statement to confirm our commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all parts of our operations and supply chains. We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, bonded labour, or exploitation. Our anti-slavery declaration is an integral part of our corporate responsibility and risk management approach, and it applies to all employees, contractors and suppliers engaged by the company.
We have a clear set of values and a zero-tolerance policy that mandates immediate action if modern slavery risks are identified. This slavery and human trafficking statement outlines our proactive steps, including due diligence, contractual requirements, training and escalation procedures. The Pimlico Skip Hire modern slavery policy demands transparency and accountability across every tier of our supply chain, with an emphasis on prevention, detection and remediation.
Our key commitments include:
- Risk assessment across operations and suppliers to identify vulnerable areas;
- Supplier audits and on-site verification to confirm compliance;
- Training for staff responsible for procurement, logistics and recruitment;
- Reporting channels that allow concerns to be raised safely and anonymously;
- Annual review of progress and policy updates to ensure continuous improvement.
Due Diligence, Supplier Audits and Monitoring
We perform targeted due diligence on suppliers and subcontractors to mitigate the risk of exploitation. Our vendor selection process includes checks on labour practices, worker contracts and site conditions. Where higher risks are identified, Pimlico Skip Hire conducts supplier audits, which may involve documentation review, remote interviews and physical inspections. These audits are designed to verify compliance with our modern slavery policy and to encourage corrective action where necessary.
Supplier audits form a central pillar of our supply chain assurance. Audit findings are recorded and scored; persistent non-compliance triggers escalation measures including contract termination. We require suppliers to adhere to our anti-slavery terms and to demonstrate transparent recruitment and wage practices. Where remediation is needed, we collaborate with suppliers to implement action plans, timelines and follow-up reviews to verify improvements.
Our procurement teams integrate modern slavery considerations into contractual clauses and procurement evaluation criteria. We use a layered approach: desktop screening, targeted questionnaires, on-site visiting and third-party verifications. This multi-step approach helps Pimlico Skip Hire enforce ethical standards and reduce the risk of forced or compulsory labour in our operations and the extended supply chain.
Reporting Channels, Remediation and Annual Review
Pimlico Skip Hire maintains confidential reporting channels so employees, suppliers and third parties can raise concerns about potential slavery or trafficking. We encourage the use of established internal whistleblowing pathways and assure protection against retaliation. Reports are investigated promptly, with findings leading to remedial action, disciplinary measures or legal referral depending on severity.
Where exploitation is identified, we act to protect victims and to ensure swift remediation. Our responses include supporting affected workers, terminating non-compliant contracts, and working with authorities and NGO partners where appropriate. The company documents all incidents and outcomes as part of our continuous improvement program and to strengthen future prevention.
This slavery statement is reviewed at least annually by senior management and the Board to ensure it remains effective and responsive to evolving risks. The annual review includes analysis of audit results, reported incidents, training uptake and changes in legislation or sector risk. Pimlico Skip Hire commits to updating this statement to reflect progress and to publish any material changes to our approach to modern slavery.
Conclusion: Through robust policies, routine supplier audits, secure reporting channels and a formal annual review process, Pimlico Skip Hire aims to eradicate modern slavery from its operations and supply chains. We will continue to strengthen our controls and to promote ethical labour practices across every element of our business and partnerships.
