Recycled London Modern Slavery Statement

Recycled London logo representing commitment to ending modern slavery Recycled London publishes this Modern Slavery Statement to affirm our firm commitment to preventing slavery, human trafficking and forced labour across our operations and supply chain. This anti-slavery statement explains the policies, procedures and proactive steps we take to detect and deter exploitation. Our modern slavery policy applies to all employees, contractors and suppliers. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for any form of slavery or human trafficking and require partners to meet the same high standards.

We recognise that a clear transparency statement helps reduce the risk of exploitation. As part of our proactive approach, we train staff to identify red flags and escalate concerns. The Recycled London slavery statement is part of our broader sustainability and ethical sourcing commitments. We emphasise respect for human rights and insist on fair labour practices at every stage.

The image shows a cluttered garage storage area with metal shelving units filled with various items including plastic containers, toolboxes, and bags. In the foreground, there are several terracotta plant pots of different sizes, some stacked, with a green garden hose coiled on top of a plastic bucket. A blue bicycle leans against a wooden shelving unit, which also holds a small black bag and miscellaneous tools. To the left, a dark-colored filing cabinet is partly visible, with red and yellow storage boxes placed on and around it. The background includes more plastic storage boxes, some transparent with visible contents, and a black toolbox. The garage has a concrete floor and is lit by ambient light, highlighting the organized chaos typical of domestic rubbish and recyclable item storage. This scene aligns with typical environments handled by Recycled London for rubbish removal in the local area, possibly in a residential part of London or nearby town, given the postcode inference from the page details. Our approach to supply chain integrity is rigorous: we map suppliers, evaluate risk and prioritise audits where risk is highest. The supplier audits program includes on-site inspections, document verification and worker interviews. Audit criteria are aligned with international labour standards and our own anti-slavery policy. Findings from audits lead to corrective action plans and, where necessary, termination of relationships with suppliers that fail to remediate critical breaches.

Zero-tolerance policy and enforcement

We operate a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery. Any confirmed instance of forced labour, bonded labour, or human trafficking results in immediate contractual review and disciplined action, up to dismissal or contract termination. Our procurement contracts contain clear anti-slavery clauses requiring suppliers to comply with the modern slavery law and to allow audits and access to records.

A large pile of discarded building and construction debris, primarily consisting of white and beige synthetic materials such as plastic sheeting, insulated panels, and packaging. The debris is loosely gathered on a dirt surface, with some items partially spilling over and overlapping each other. In the background, there is a trench or excavation site with a concrete retaining wall, alongside scattered rubble and soil. Further behind, a row of residential buildings with pitched roofs and streetlights can be seen under a cloudy sky, indicating an outdoor urban or suburban setting nearby London. The area appears to be an active construction or waste collection site, with the debris awaiting rubbish removal, indicative of services provided by companies like Recycled London in the local area. The overall scene emphasizes the nature of construction waste management with a focus on bulky, mixed materials in an open environment. To ensure compliance we use a combination of risk assessment tools, third-party screening and scheduled supplier reviews. We also require certifications and self-assessments from key vendors that address wages, working hours, recruitment fees and freedom of movement. Where risk indicators are identified, we escalate to targeted supplier audits and provide support to develop remedial action plans to protect workers' rights.

Key elements of our supplier diligence include:

  • Risk-based supplier due diligence focused on geography and sector.
  • Regular audits and unannounced inspections for high-risk suppliers.
  • Worker voice mechanisms and confidential channels for employees to report concerns.

Reporting channels and whistleblowing

A residential driveway in a suburban area during daytime, featuring a large pile of irregularly shaped red and beige bricks, some with rough surfaces, stacked loosely on the paved surface. To the left of the pile is a grey wheeled rubbish bin with a black lid, positioned on the asphalt, partially blocking the view of the bricks. In the background, a single-storey house with white walls and a brown garage door is visible, along with a large window that has white horizontal blinds and a small potted plant on the windowsill. The house's roof is grey, and to the right, part of a neighbouring property with similar architecture and a window can be seen. The lawn surrounding the driveway is neatly trimmed, with vibrant green grass, and a small hanging plant is attached near the top right corner of the garage door. The scene is evenly lit with natural daylight, suggesting clear weather, and overall, the image depicts a typical rubbish removal or waste collection scenario in a residential environment in London, linked to services provided by Recycled London. We maintain multiple reporting channels to ensure concerns about modern slavery are raised and addressed promptly. Employees, suppliers and third parties can report suspected wrongdoing through anonymous hotlines, dedicated email reporting (monitored internally) and via line managers. Reports are treated seriously and investigated confidentially. Retaliation against anyone who reports in good faith is strictly prohibited under our policies.

A young couple in a home interior holding multiple recycling bins filled with empty glass bottles and plastic containers. The woman, with dark hair tied back, is holding a green bin with a recycling symbol on the front, containing transparent plastic bottles. The man, with dark hair and a beard, is holding a blue bin also displaying a recycling symbol, filled with green glass bottles. Both are smiling and standing close together, suggesting teamwork in waste separation. Behind them, there is a wooden hutch and a beige curtain, indicating a domestic kitchen setting. Their casual attire and the natural lighting give a relaxed, everyday atmosphere. The image highlights the process of recycling household waste, relevant to rubbish and waste management services like those offered by Recycled London in the London area. The scene emphasizes responsible waste disposal practices at home, focusing on glass and plastic recycling, with an emphasis on environmental sustainability and local recycling efforts in the UK. Recycled London investigates each credible allegation and applies proportionate remediation to protect vulnerable workers. Remediation may include support for victims, restitution, changes to supplier practices and termination of non-compliant partnerships. We document investigations and outcomes to ensure accountability and continuous improvement.

We commit to an annual review of this modern slavery statement and related processes. The review includes assessment of audit results, changes in supply chain risk profiles, training effectiveness and stakeholder feedback. We publish updates to the anti-slavery statement and refine controls, procurement clauses and monitoring approaches to ensure evolving risks are addressed. Continuous improvement, transparency and strong enforcement are the foundations of our slavery statement and human rights approach.

In summary, this Modern Slavery Statement for Recycled London sets out our firm stance against exploitation, our zero-tolerance policy, robust supplier audits, clear reporting channels and a commitment to annual review. We will continue to invest in due diligence, supplier engagement and worker-focused remedies to protect human dignity across our operations and value chain.
