Modern Slavery Statement — Skip Hire Millbank Commitment

Skip Hire Millbank is committed to a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking across our operations and supply chain. This modern slavery statement sets out our policies, due diligence, and the practical steps taken by Millbank skip hire to prevent exploitation, forced labour and any form of servitude in our business activities. We expect every partner, supplier and contractor to meet the high standards we apply internally.

Our policy framework is clear: no tolerance for modern slavery. The policy applies to all employees, contractors and subcontractors associated with SkipHire Millbank. All workers must be treated with dignity and respect and receive lawful pay and terms. We incorporate these requirements into contractual clauses and procurement policies to ensure that our expectations are explicit and enforceable.

We perform risk-based due diligence and ongoing screening of supply chains to identify and mitigate potential modern slavery risks. The organisation uses a combination of supplier questionnaires, documentation checks and periodic on-site assessments. Where higher risk is identified, we increase oversight and take immediate remedial action, including supplier audits and, when necessary, termination of contracts to protect people and our ethical standards.

Prevention, Supplier Audits and Training

Prevention measures include targeted supplier audits and continuous monitoring. Our supplier audit programme covers recruitment practices, working hours, wage verification and living conditions where applicable. Audits are conducted by trained compliance staff or accredited third parties. Findings result in time-bound corrective action plans that suppliers must implement. If suppliers fail to remediate, Millbank skip-hire will suspend or cease relationships to prevent harm.

Training is provided to relevant staff and procurement teams to improve awareness of modern slavery indicators and proper escalation. We emphasise the importance of reporting concerns and provide instruction on how to recognise signs of exploitation. This training is refreshed annually and forms part of the induction for new employees involved in operations, procurement and subcontractor management.

We maintain clear reporting channels and a confidential whistleblowing mechanism so that workers, partners and third parties can raise concerns without fear of retaliation. Reports are investigated promptly, with appropriate protections for those who disclose information, and remedial steps are taken where breaches are found. The reporting process is overseen by senior management to ensure independence and accountability.

Governance, Reporting Channels and Annual Review

Governance oversight is provided by the senior leadership team at Skip Hire Millbank. Responsibility for implementation sits with the compliance manager who coordinates supplier audits, training and incident responses. Reporting channels include internal escalation routes, anonymous reporting options and formal investigation pathways; all are designed to protect victims and ensure fair outcomes.

Our supplier due diligence includes contractual assurances, periodic audits and performance measures within procurement scorecards. We use a risk-based approach to prioritise auditing resources and to verify corrective actions. The procurement team works with suppliers collaboratively to improve standards and, where necessary, to replace those unable or unwilling to comply with our anti-slavery commitments.

This statement is reviewed and updated at least once every 12 months as part of an annual review cycle. The review evaluates the effectiveness of policies, audit outcomes, training impact and any incidents or near-misses. The conclusions of the annual review are presented to the leadership team and used to refine controls and resource allocation.

Our pledge: Skip Hire Millbank will continue to strengthen anti-slavery controls, expand supplier engagement, and maintain an open reporting culture. We uphold an uncompromising stance against modern slavery and will take decisive action to protect workers and ensure ethical supply chain practices.
