Modern Slavery Statement — Tommys Rubbish

At Tommys Rubbish we declare a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour. This modern slavery statement outlines our approach to preventing exploitation across our operations and supply chain. We are committed to fair, safe and lawful working conditions for everyone connected with our business. Our anti-slavery statement applies to all employees, subcontractors and suppliers who provide services or goods to Tommys Rubbish.

Our Position and Commitments

The Tommys Rubbish modern slavery policy makes clear that slavery, servitude, forced labour and human trafficking are unacceptable in any form. We expect the same high standards from our suppliers and partners. We will not tolerate any practices inconsistent with this stance and will take immediate action when breaches are identified. The policy underlines employee rights, safe working conditions and fair wages across our operations.

Scope and Legal Compliance

We comply with applicable anti-slavery laws and regulations. This anti-slavery statement for Tommys Rubbish covers direct operations and our supply chain, and it sets out risk-based due diligence processes. We monitor recruitment practices, subcontracting arrangements and labour providers to reduce the risk of exploitation. All procurement contracts include clauses requiring compliance with our modern slavery and human trafficking requirements.

Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

Our due diligence framework focuses on supplier audits, risk assessment and ongoing monitoring. We conduct prequalification checks, periodic audits and targeted spot checks to verify compliance. Audit activities are proportionate to risk, with high-risk suppliers subject to more frequent and detailed scrutiny.

We maintain a structured audit programme that includes:

• Initial supplier risk assessment — evaluating geography, industry and labour models.
• On-site and remote audits — verifying documentation, interviewing workers and observing working conditions.
• Corrective action plans — requiring timely remediation for any issues found, with follow-up verification.

Supplier Expectations and Contracts

Suppliers must adhere to our anti-slavery code of conduct. Contracts explicitly prohibit the use of forced, bonded or trafficked labour and require compliance with local labour laws. Where suppliers engage subcontractors, those subcontractors are also bound by our requirements.

Training, Remediation and Worker Support

We provide regular training to staff involved in procurement, operations and site supervision to recognise indicators of modern slavery. Training emphasises safe recruitment practices and how to support affected workers. If exploitation is identified, we implement remediation plans prioritising the victim’s safety and legal rights, including termination of contracts where necessary.

Reporting Channels and Confidential Whistleblowing

Tommys Rubbish operates multiple reporting channels to ensure concerns about modern slavery can be raised safely and confidentially. Employees and third parties are encouraged to report suspicions through anonymous channels or by speaking with designated compliance officers. Reports are investigated promptly, with protective measures for whistleblowers and those at risk.

Monitoring, Review and Continuous Improvement

We will review this modern slavery statement annually as part of our governance cycle. The review will assess the effectiveness of supplier audits, reporting channels, training and remediation efforts. We will update policies and practices based on audit findings, new legal requirements and emerging risks.

In summary, Tommys Rubbish’s modern slavery statement emphasises a proactive, risk-based approach: prevention, detection, remediation and continuous improvement. We are resolute in our zero-tolerance approach and remain committed to driving responsible practices across our operations and the broader supply chain.
