Modern Slavery Statement — Skip Hire Purley

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the commitments of Skip Hire Purley and associated operations under the broader Purley skip hire services to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our business and supply chains. Our aim is to be transparent about the steps we take, to ensure victims are not exploited, and to embed best practice across skip-hire Purley operations. This statement applies to all employees, contractors, suppliers and partners engaged by Skip Hire Purley.

Our Zero-Tolerance Policy

Zero tolerance is at the core of our approach. Skip-hire Purley maintains a strict policy that prohibits any form of forced labour, human trafficking, debt bondage, child labour or exploitation. We require every part of our organisation and every supplier to adhere to this policy. Breaches will lead to immediate action including investigation, remedial steps and, where necessary, termination of relationships.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

We undertake proportionate due diligence on suppliers and contractors as part of our procurement and on-boarding procedures. Our due diligence includes risk-based reviews of employment practices, verification of identity and eligibility to work, contractual clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery requirements, and financial checks. Where risks are identified, we implement targeted supplier audits and monitoring.

How Supplier Audits Work

Supplier audits combine documentary review and field checks. Audits assess recruitment practices, wage and hour records, accommodation and transport arrangements, and grievance mechanisms. Failures to meet our standards lead to corrective action plans with clear timelines. In severe or repeated cases, we will cease to engage with that supplier. These audit findings are recorded, tracked and inform our ongoing supplier performance evaluations.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We provide safe, accessible reporting channels for employees, contractors and third parties to report concerns about modern slavery. Reports can be made anonymously and will be treated confidentially. Our internal reporting framework includes regular review by senior management and the board, and suspected criminal activity will be referred to the appropriate authorities. Skip Hire Purley ensures protections are in place against retaliation for anyone raising concerns in good faith.

Key features of our reporting channels:

• Anonymous reporting options and confidentiality assurances
• Independent investigation processes
• Clear escalation to senior management and oversight committees
• Support and protection for whistleblowers

Training, Monitoring and Continuous Improvement

We provide regular training to staff and procurement teams on recognising the signs of modern slavery and the correct response pathways. Training is tailored for roles with greater exposure to supply chain risk. Monitoring includes periodic reviews of high-risk contracts and engagement metrics for suppliers. Skip Hire Purley also collaborates with industry bodies and peer organisations to share best practice and improve sector-wide responses.

Annual Review and Governance: Our modern slavery framework is subject to an annual review to assess effectiveness, update risk assessments, publish progress and set new objectives. Results of the review are considered by senior leadership and inform policy updates, resource allocation and further supplier engagement. We commit to continual improvement and will report annually on the actions taken and their outcomes.

In summary, Skip Hire Purley is dedicated to preventing modern slavery across its operations and supply chain. We maintain a clear zero-tolerance stance, conduct rigorous supplier audits, provide secure reporting channels, and perform an annual review to ensure accountability and progress. Our commitment is firm: to uphold human rights, protect vulnerable people and promote ethical practices in all our skip hire Purley activities.
