Modern Slavery Statement — Limehouse Skip Hire

Limehouse Skip Hire publishes this Modern Slavery Statement to set out our continued commitment to combatting modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour across our operations and supply chains. This Limehouse modern slavery statement reflects our firm stance: a clear and uncompromising zero-tolerance policy toward any form of slavery or exploitation in our business or amongst our partners.

Our Zero-Tolerance Approach

We operate a zero-tolerance policy that is embedded within our corporate values. All employees, contractors and suppliers are required to adhere to standards that prohibit forced labour, child labour and any exploitative practices. We train staff to recognise the signs of modern slavery and require management to act decisively where concerns arise. This anti-slavery policy forms part of our employment and procurement procedures and is reiterated in contractual terms with suppliers.

Scope and Commitments

Our commitments under this Limehouse anti-slavery statement include transparency in supply chains, diligent recruitment practices and ongoing monitoring. We use risk-based assessments to identify areas of sensitivity, particularly where labour is sourced through third-party contractors or where subcontracting is common. We also encourage a culture where both employees and external parties feel empowered to raise concerns without fear.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

We maintain a robust supplier due diligence programme. This includes:

• Pre-engagement checks on new suppliers to evaluate labour practices and compliance with human rights standards.
• Periodic audits (both announced and unannounced) focused on payroll, working hours, recruitment fees and living conditions where applicable.
• Corrective action plans where deficiencies are identified, including escalation and the right to terminate contracts for serious breaches.

How we conduct audits

Audits are carried out by internal compliance teams and, where necessary, independent third-party auditors. We prioritise higher-risk categories and maintain records of findings, improvements and outcomes. Supplier performance is integrated into procurement decisions and contractual renewal processes to ensure continued compliance with our modern slavery commitments.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We provide multiple confidential reporting channels so concerns can be raised safely and promptly. Employees and suppliers are encouraged to report suspected modern slavery via verbal reports to managers, formal written submissions to our compliance team, or through anonymous reporting mechanisms. All reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and with sensitivity to protecting victims and whistleblowers.

Remediation and Victim Support

When instances of exploitation are identified, our response is victim-centered. We seek to secure safety, access to welfare support and legal remedies for affected individuals while cooperating with authorities where required. Where suppliers fail to remediate, we will take decisive action, up to and including contract termination and reporting to regulatory bodies.

Training, Communication and Culture

We deliver regular training for our staff and procurement teams to ensure understanding of modern slavery risks and our processes for preventing exploitation. Communication of our anti-slavery expectations is strong across supply chains and reinforced through contract clauses, supplier briefings and ongoing engagement. Everyone at Limehouse Skip Hire shares responsibility for identifying and preventing modern slavery.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

We commit to an annual review of this modern slavery statement and our policies to measure effectiveness and identify improvements. The review examines audit results, incident reports, training uptake and changes in risk profiles. Outcomes are used to refine our approach, strengthen controls, and set objectives for the following year. This statement will be revisited yearly to ensure our anti-slavery policy remains robust and responsive to evolving risks.

Conclusion: Limehouse Skip Hire maintains a firm and active stance against modern slavery. Through our zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, secure reporting channels and annual review process, we aim to prevent exploitation, support victims and promote ethical supply chains across all aspects of our business.
