Modern Slavery Statement — Commercial Waste Edmonton

Commercial Waste Edmonton sets out a zero-tolerance policy to any form of modern slavery, forced labour or human trafficking across our operations. As a provider of Edmonton commercial waste services, we are committed to ethical labour practices in our own workplaces and across the entire supply chain for commercial-waste Edmonton contracts. This statement explains our approach, expectations and the measures we deploy to prevent exploitation.

Scope and commitments

The commitments apply to all staff, contractors and suppliers engaged by Commercial Waste Edmonton. We require that every supplier, subcontractor and partner adheres to our standards, including lawful wages, freedom of movement and the right to refuse unsafe work. Our commercial waste edmonton policy is clear: exploitation will not be tolerated, and breaches will prompt immediate action.

Due diligence and supplier audits

We operate a risk-based due diligence framework for suppliers involved in Edmonton commercial waste collection, processing and disposal. Elements include pre-contract screening, ongoing monitoring and periodic on-site audits. Our audit program uses documented checklists, worker interviews and records reviews to identify indicators of modern slavery. Where risks are identified, we require corrective action plans and follow-up inspections.

Audit activities are supported by training for procurement and operations staff, and a clear escalation path to senior management. We encourage transparency and verify payroll, working hours and recruitment practices. For higher-risk suppliers, we require independent third-party assessments and continuous improvement commitments.

To strengthen compliance, we include contractual clauses that give Commercial Waste Edmonton the right to audit, remediate and, if necessary, terminate contracts with suppliers who fail to meet anti-slavery standards. These clauses are an integral component of our Edmonton commercial waste supplier agreements.

Reporting channels and whistleblowing

We provide multiple secure reporting channels for workers, partners and the public to raise concerns about suspected modern slavery in our operations or supply chain. Reports can be made anonymously and are treated with confidentiality. All reports are investigated promptly, with protections against retaliation for whistleblowers.

The reporting framework includes a documented intake process, triage by a dedicated compliance team and referral to human resources, legal counsel or external agencies as needed. We maintain a clear record of investigations and outcomes. We also use regular communications to remind staff and suppliers about the availability of these channels.

Training, remediation and supplier engagement

Commercial Waste Edmonton requires mandatory training modules for staff in procurement, operations and site supervision. Training covers how to spot signs of modern slavery, how to use reporting channels and the obligations under our zero-tolerance approach. Where modern slavery or labour rights violations are confirmed, we prioritise victim support, remediation and corrective action with suppliers, including termination if improvements are not realised.

The company continuously reviews its policies and practices to enhance protections across all areas of our Edmonton commercial-waste activities. We collaborate with industry groups and other waste operators to share best practices and strengthen sector-wide responses to forced labour risks. Our approach to supplier engagement emphasises prevention through clear contractual requirements, capacity building and constructive oversight.

We maintain an annual review cycle to assess the effectiveness of controls, audit findings and remediation outcomes. This annual review includes analysis of incident trends, supplier performance metrics and updates to our risk assessments for commercial waste Edmonton operations. Senior leaders receive reports and endorse any necessary policy changes.

In summary, Commercial Waste Edmonton is resolute in its commitment to eradicate modern slavery from its business and supply chain. Our combined measures—zero-tolerance policy, robust supplier audits, accessible reporting channels and an annual review process—form the foundation of this commitment. We will continue to monitor, report and improve to ensure ethical, safe and fair labour practices across all Edmonton commercial waste services.
