Modern Slavery Statement — Kenton Skip Hire

Kenton Skip Hire publishes this Modern Slavery Statement to reaffirm our commitment to preventing all forms of modern slavery and exploitation. We operate a strict zero-tolerance policy toward forced labour, human trafficking and other abuses across our operations and throughout our supply chain. This document sets out the steps we take to identify, prevent and respond to risks of slavery and human trafficking in our business and with our partners.

We are committed to continuous improvement in our modern slavery and human trafficking due diligence. Our approach includes risk assessment, staff training, supplier engagement and corrective action where issues are identified. The values of Kenton Skip Hire require that everyone connected with our business is treated with dignity and respect, and we insist on compliance with our anti-slavery standards from contractors, sub-contractors and suppliers.

Our zero-tolerance policy means any confirmed instance of forced labour or trafficking will result in immediate and decisive action. This can include termination of contracts, suspension of business relationships and reporting to the appropriate authorities. We emphasise that our position on modern slavery is non-negotiable: any form of exploitation must be reported, investigated and remedied promptly.

Supplier Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

We conduct targeted supplier audits and assessments to ensure compliance with our anti-slavery policies. Our procurement team evaluates suppliers based on risk factors including geography, labour practices, recruitment methods and the nature of services supplied. Kenton Skip Hire requires suppliers to confirm adherence to our code of conduct and to permit reasonable inspection and verification activities.

Supplier audits combine documentation reviews, contractual clauses and, where necessary, on-site checks. We prioritise higher-risk suppliers for more frequent audits. Audit findings trigger a corrective action plan that may include requirements for worker interviews, changes to recruitment practices, or phased remediation. We will terminate suppliers who fail to address significant instances of modern slavery or who refuse to co-operate with remediation efforts.

Key elements of our supplier programme include:

• Pre-qualification checks on labour sourcing and subcontracting;
• Contractual obligations requiring compliance with our modern slavery policy;
• Periodic audits and follow-up reviews;
• Remediation pathways and escalation procedures for breaches.

Reporting Channels, Training and Remediation

Kenton Skip Hire maintains clear reporting channels for workers, suppliers and third parties to raise concerns about exploitation. We provide confidential internal reporting routes and encourage reporting through supervisory lines, anonymous reporting mechanisms and formal grievance processes. All reports are taken seriously, investigated swiftly and handled with due confidentiality and sensitivity.

We provide regular training for employees, managers and procurement staff to recognise signs of exploitation and to understand reporting obligations. Training covers indicators of trafficking, identifying risks in recruitment and supply chains, and the steps to take if exploitation is suspected. We ensure those who report in good faith are protected from retaliation.

The effectiveness of our measures is monitored through incident tracking, audit outcomes and corrective action completion rates. We maintain records of investigations and resolutions to ensure transparency and continual learning across the business.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

We perform an annual review of this modern slavery and human trafficking statement and our associated policies. The review assesses the effectiveness of supplier audits, risk assessments, training programmes and reporting channels, and it ensures our approach reflects evolving risks and best practices. Outcomes of the review guide updates to our policies, procedures and the allocation of resources to strengthen prevention and response.

In conclusion, Kenton Skip Hire remains fully committed to combating modern slavery, upholding human rights and ensuring our business and supply chains are free from exploitation. This statement will be reviewed annually and updated as required to reflect our ongoing efforts to eradicate slavery and human trafficking.
