Millbank Skip Hire Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement for Millbank Skip Hire sets out our firm commitment to preventing all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking across our operations and supply chain. We describe our zero-tolerance stance, the steps we take to manage risk, and the channels available to report concerns. Our anti-slavery statement reflects values embedded across the company and applies to all employees, contractors and suppliers.

We operate a clear zero-tolerance policy towards forced labour, debt bondage, and any form of exploitation. Millbank Skip Hire maintains that slavery has no place in our business. We require all colleagues and partners to understand and comply with our slavery and human trafficking policy. Breaches of this policy will result in disciplinary action and potential termination of contracts with third parties.

As part of this modern slavery and human trafficking statement, we undertake risk assessments across our waste management, logistics and supplier activities. We identify areas of higher risk — including subcontracted labour in loading, haulage and third-party recycling facilities — and prioritise mitigation measures. Our procurement decisions consider ethical labour practices alongside commercial and environmental criteria.

Supplier Standards, Due Diligence and Audits

We require suppliers to adhere to Millbank Skip Hire's anti-modern slavery policy and include specific contractual clauses that prohibit forced labour. Supplier onboarding includes checks for legal employment status, wage compliance and evidence of legitimate recruitment practices. We also review policies related to worker welfare and grievance mechanisms.

Our supplier due diligence program incorporates documented supplier audits and regular performance reviews. Audits are conducted on a risk-prioritised basis and may include on-site inspections, document reviews and interviews with workers where appropriate. Findings trigger remediation plans; continued non-compliance can lead to suspension or termination of the supplier relationship.

To reinforce expectations we provide training for procurement and operations teams. Training covers recognition of indicators of exploitation, how to raise concerns and the importance of maintaining robust records. We also include modern slavery criteria within contract renewals and purchasing authorisations.

Reporting Channels and Annual Review

Millbank Skip Hire promotes transparent reporting channels for employees, contractors and supply chain partners. Concerns can be raised through internal reporting lines, anonymously where permitted, and are treated confidentially and seriously. Reports trigger a prompt, proportionate investigation led by senior management with oversight from our compliance function.

We maintain multiple ways to raise suspected modern slavery issues, and we protect whistleblowers from retaliation. Our process ensures that allegations are assessed, escalated as needed and that remedial action is recorded. Where potential criminal activity is identified, we will liaise with the appropriate authorities.

The effectiveness of this anti-slavery statement and our slavery prevention framework is reviewed at least annually. As part of the annual review we assess audit outcomes, incident reports, training completion rates and evolving supply chain risk. Improvements are implemented and communicated throughout the organisation. This modern slavery policy statement will be updated to reflect meaningful changes in risk profile, legislative developments and best practice.

To support continuous improvement we publish commitments to monitor supplier performance, escalate failures and collaborate with peers and industry groups. Our overall aim is to ensure that Millbank Skip Hire’s approach to modern slavery is practical, transparent and enforceable, protecting people and upholding ethical standards across our operations and the broader waste management sector.

By maintaining a resolute zero-tolerance approach, regular supplier audits, secure reporting channels and an annual compliance review, Millbank Skip Hire seeks to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within its business and supply chains. We remain committed to acting with integrity and ensuring that every contract and operational decision aligns with our anti-slavery values.
