Modern Slavery Statement — Skip Hire Hayes Commitment

Skip Hire Hayes is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all its operations and supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by SkipHire Hayes to identify, assess and mitigate the risk of slavery. Our approach is founded on a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of forced labour, exploitation or human trafficking. We believe that robust governance and clear expectations of our partners are essential to uphold the rights and dignity of every worker engaged, directly or indirectly, with Skip Hire - Hayes.

We apply a risk-based methodology across our activities to protect workers across waste management, transport and hiring services. The policies of SkipHireHayes are aligned with relevant legislation and international standards, and we require all employees and contractors to adhere to our code of conduct. Our pledge includes mandatory training for staff responsible for procurement, operations and contractor oversight so that risks are identified early and managed effectively.

To strengthen accountability, we operate a supplier audit program that evaluates labour practices and compliance with anti-slavery principles. Audits include document reviews, verification of worker contracts and interviews where appropriate, and corrective action plans where risks are identified. Suppliers are assessed periodically and when any change in risk profile occurs. Skip Hire Hayes reserves the right to suspend or terminate relationships with suppliers that fail to meet minimum standards.

Our zero-tolerance policy is communicated to workers, suppliers and stakeholders. The policy is reinforced by contractual clauses requiring suppliers to confirm that they do not use forced labour and that they comply with local employment laws. SkipHire Hayes expects transparency in payroll, working hours and recruitment practices. Where third-party labour providers are used, we require evidence that migrant workers are not charged recruitment fees and that freedom of movement is preserved.

We maintain clear reporting channels so concerns can be raised safely and confidentially. Employees and third parties can report suspected modern slavery through anonymous internal hotlines, secure reporting portals and dedicated whistleblowing procedures. All reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and appropriate remedial actions are taken. The protection of whistleblowers and complainants is a priority to ensure no victim faces retaliation.

Our senior management reviews risk assessments and audit outcomes regularly. We maintain a supplier risk register and use it to direct resources toward high-risk areas. Skip Hire Hayes engages with suppliers to build capability through training, supplier workshops and clear remediation timelines. Where necessary, we implement contractual remediation plans and monitor progress until satisfactory corrective outcomes are achieved.

The operations of Skip Hire - Hayes are subject to internal controls, regular monitoring and external assurance where appropriate. We publish this Modern Slavery Statement annually and ensure senior leadership endorsement. Our governance framework assigns clear responsibility for anti-slavery compliance to a designated senior executive who oversees implementation of policies and supplier audits.

We maintain a concise escalation and remediation process that includes:

• Routine supplier audits and spot checks
• Mandatory corrective action plans for identified issues
• Training for procurement and operational staff
• Confidential reporting channels and whistleblower protection

Each year we undertake an annual review of our modern slavery risk profile and the effectiveness of our controls. The review evaluates the outcomes of supplier audits, the volume and resolution of reports through reporting channels, and the progress of remediation measures. Findings from the annual review inform continuous improvement initiatives for policy, training and supplier engagement. SkipHire Hayes commits to evolving our practices in response to emerging risks and stakeholder expectations.

In conclusion, Skip Hire Hayes takes a proactive stance against modern slavery. Our zero-tolerance stance, comprehensive supplier audits, secure reporting mechanisms and annual review process combine to create a resilient framework that protects workers and strengthens ethical supply chains. We will continue to monitor, report and adapt our approach to prevent exploitation and promote responsible business conduct across all SkipHireHayes operations.
