Modern Slavery Statement
This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the actions taken by Go RubbishGo Ltd. to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our business operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to operate ethically and with integrity, and we are committed to ensuring that modern slavery has no place in our organisation or the services that support it.
Modern slavery includes slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour and human trafficking. Go RubbishGo Ltd. takes a zero-tolerance approach to any form of modern slavery or exploitation.
Our Business and Supply Chains
Go RubbishGo Ltd. operates within the waste collection and rubbish removal sector. Our activities include domestic and commercial waste collection, transport and disposal through authorised facilities. We work with a range of suppliers, including waste processing facilities, vehicle maintenance providers, equipment suppliers and recycling partners.
While our supply chains are primarily UK-based, we acknowledge that risks can still exist and that vigilance is essential regardless of scale or location.
Zero-Tolerance Policy
We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. Any form of forced labour, coercion, abuse or exploitation is unacceptable. This principle applies to all individuals working for or on behalf of Go RubbishGo Ltd., including employees, contractors and suppliers.
Our expectations are clear: all work must be voluntary, workers must be treated fairly and lawfully, and employment practices must comply with applicable legislation.
Policies and Governance
Our internal policies support ethical conduct and lawful employment practices. These policies promote fair treatment, safe working conditions and respect for workers’ rights. They form part of our broader commitment to responsible business operations.
Management retains responsibility for overseeing compliance and ensuring that ethical standards are upheld across the organisation.
Supplier Due Diligence and Audits
Go RubbishGo Ltd. seeks to work only with suppliers who share our commitment to ethical labour practices. As part of our supplier engagement, we assess risks related to labour standards and modern slavery.
Where appropriate, we conduct supplier reviews and audits, either formally or informally, to ensure that working conditions and employment practices meet acceptable standards. Suppliers are expected to comply with relevant employment laws and to address any concerns promptly.
Staff Awareness and Training
We recognise that awareness is key to prevention. Staff involved in procurement, operations and supplier management are encouraged to remain alert to the signs of modern slavery and exploitation.
By promoting awareness and encouraging responsible reporting, we aim to ensure that concerns are identified early and handled appropriately.
Reporting Channels
Go RubbishGo Ltd. encourages the reporting of any concerns related to modern slavery or unethical labour practices. Staff, contractors and suppliers are expected to raise concerns without fear of retaliation.
Reports are taken seriously and investigated promptly. Where issues are identified, appropriate action is taken, which may include corrective measures or termination of supplier relationships.
Risk Assessment
We assess the potential risk of modern slavery within our operations and supply chains on an ongoing basis. This includes considering the nature of the services provided, the location of suppliers and the type of labour involved.
While we consider the overall risk to be low, we remain committed to continuous monitoring and improvement.
Annual Review and Continuous Improvement
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains relevant and effective. As our business evolves, we will update our practices to address emerging risks and strengthen our controls.
Our commitment to ethical labour practices is ongoing. By reviewing our approach regularly, we aim to uphold high standards and contribute positively to responsible business practices within our industry.
