Liam Waste Removal Modern Slavery Statement

Liam Waste Removal sets out this Modern Slavery Statement to confirm our commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking across our operations and supply chains. We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, bonded labour, and exploitation. This document explains how our modern slavery policy is implemented and how we address modern slavery risks in our business activities.

Our statement covers all employees, contractors and suppliers who provide services to Liam Waste Removal. We require that every partner complies with applicable laws relating to slavery and human trafficking and meets our ethical standards. We emphasise that there is no place for forced or compulsory labour in our operations and that any breach is taken extremely seriously and will trigger immediate action.

Liam Waste Removal adheres to both national and international legal requirements regarding slavery and human trafficking. We recognise that modern slavery risks can appear in many forms across the waste management and logistics sectors, including labour supply chains and subcontracted services. We take a proactive approach to identify and mitigate these risks through assessment, supplier engagement and remedial action.

Our approach to preventing modern slavery and forced labour

We apply a risk-based approach to supplier selection and ongoing management. Expectations are clearly set out in procurement documentation and contractual terms. Suppliers are required to confirm compliance and to allow verification activities. Our procurement policy includes clauses that enable us to suspend or terminate relationships where slavery and human trafficking concerns are identified.

To ensure effective supplier due diligence, we conduct regular supplier audits and risk assessments. Key elements include:

• Pre-engagement screening for high-risk suppliers and countries
• On-site and remote supplier audits focused on labour practices
• Contractual obligations and corrective action plans where necessary

We provide targeted training to managers and procurement teams so that they can spot signs of exploitation. We also promote a culture where concerns can be raised safely. Our reporting channels are designed to be accessible and protective of whistleblowers: employees and third parties can report concerns via internal reporting routes or through anonymous mechanisms. All reports are taken seriously and investigated promptly.

Monitoring, reporting and annual review

We maintain clear reporting channels and a formal process for investigating allegations of modern slavery and human trafficking. Reports are handled confidentially and appropriate remedial steps are taken where misconduct is found. We emphasise protection for whistleblowers and ensure there is no retaliation for making genuine concerns known in good faith.

Supplier audits form a central pillar of our assurance framework. Audits are prioritised according to risk rating and include document reviews, worker interviews and verification of payroll and recruitment practices. Where non-compliance is identified, corrective action plans are agreed, progress is monitored and, if necessary, relationships are terminated to protect workers and our integrity.

Liam Waste Removal conducts an annual review of this modern slavery statement and the effectiveness of our policies and procedures. The review assesses incident data, audit outcomes, training uptake and supplier performance. Findings lead to continuous improvement measures such as enhanced contract clauses, expanded audit coverage and additional staff training. This modern slavery policy is endorsed at senior management level and is updated annually to reflect evolving risks and best practice.
