Modern Slavery Statement — Business Waste Removal Edmonton

Business Waste Removal Edmonton and associated services are committed to upholding the highest standards of human rights and labour practices. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our zero-tolerance approach to forced labour, human trafficking and any forms of exploitation across our operations, including commercial and commercial waste removal Edmonton activities. We expect every person working for or on behalf of our organisation to share this commitment.

Our zero-tolerance policy applies to all employees, contractors and third-party partners engaged in business waste removal in Edmonton. We require adherence to fair recruitment practices, transparent wages, freedom of movement and the right to terminate employment without penalty. Any breach of these standards will result in immediate and proportionate action, which may include termination of contracts or reporting to relevant authorities.

We maintain clear expectations for suppliers and subcontractors who provide waste collection, recycling, transport or disposal services. Our supplier code of conduct is issued to all vendors supporting Edmonton business waste removal and includes contractual clauses prohibiting forced labour and child labour. Where risks are identified, we require corrective action plans and reserve the right to suspend or end relationships with non-compliant providers.

Due Diligence, Supplier Audits and Risk Management

We operate a structured due diligence process for procurement and ongoing supplier oversight. Regular supplier audits and desk-based reviews are an integral part of our approach to reducing modern slavery risk within waste removal services in Edmonton and surrounding areas. Audits evaluate recruitment, payroll, working hours, accommodation and subcontractor chains.

Key audit and monitoring activities include:

• Initial pre-contract screening of prospective partners for risk indicators.
• Periodic on-site audits and remote compliance checks to verify labour standards.
• Corrective action tracking until issues are resolved and verified.

Our procurement team uses a risk-based approach to prioritise audits for high-risk services such as temporary labour used in bulk waste handling and specialized recycling operations. We also assess country of origin risks where components of services or materials are sourced internationally.

To support responsible contracting for Edmonton business waste removal, we provide training for staff and suppliers on identifying signs of modern slavery, safe reporting channels and incident escalation. Staff involved in procurement, fleet management and on-site supervision receive enhanced guidance to spot indicators like confiscated documents, withheld wages or restricted movement.

Reporting Channels and Remediation

We operate multiple safe reporting channels for concerns related to exploitation or unethical labour practices. Reports can be submitted through anonymous hotlines or internal reporting tools managed by our compliance team. All reports are treated confidentially, assessed promptly and investigated impartially. Where exploitation is confirmed, we commit to victim-focused remediation, including safe accommodation, medical care and appropriate legal referrals without exposing individuals to reprisals.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

We will review this Modern Slavery Statement at least once every 12 months as part of our annual review cycle. The review will assess the effectiveness of policies, the findings from supplier audits, the performance of reporting channels and the outcomes of remediation actions. Our board and senior leadership will receive an annual report summarising audit outcomes, identified risks and improvement plans. We believe transparency and iterative improvement strengthen our ability to prevent modern slavery across all waste removal services in Edmonton, including small business and large-scale commercial contracts.

By maintaining a robust zero-tolerance stance, rigorous supplier audits, accessible reporting mechanisms and an annual review process, our organisation reaffirms its commitment to eradicating modern slavery from the waste management sector. We expect all partners involved in business waste removal Edmonton to adhere to these principles and cooperate fully in audits and investigations — a shared responsibility that protects workers and safeguards ethical operations.
