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.

A patch of forest with tall, straight trees and dense green foliage, featuring a ground layer of grass and moss under diffuse natural daylight. In the foreground, there is a scattered pile of various rubbish materials, including cardboard boxes, plastic bags, and general waste, positioned on the forest floor. The waste appears haphazardly dumped, with some items partially crushed or crumpled, contrasting with the natural environment behind. The background shows a peaceful woodland scene with slender tree trunks extending upwards and a mix of light and shadows filtering through the canopy. This image highlights the issue of illegal rubbish dumping in natural areas near Edmonton, relevant to commercial rubbish removal services operating in the region.

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.

A white flatbed rubbish removal truck parked on a paved suburban street with a residential area in the background, featuring houses with tiled roofs, trees, and a clear blue sky. The truck's cargo area is filled with various discarded items, including a large blue plastic chair, which is placed on top, and several wooden panels and metal mesh fencing pieces within the cargo space. The vehicle shows signs of wear with slightly rusted areas and dirt on the wheels and body, indicating its use for waste collection or clearance services. The scene is typical of a rubbish removal operation in an urban or suburban environment, with the truck positioned centrally and the background showing a quiet street scene consistent with Edmonton or nearby towns, highlighting the company's local service capability for waste management and rubbish clearance.

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.

A black flatbed tow truck equipped with a hydraulic lifting arm is parked on a residential street in Edmonton, with its platform tilted downward to support a large, rectangular metal skip bin. The skip bin, made of steel, has a rough textured surface and is painted in a weathered light grey colour, showing signs of use. It is positioned partially on the truck's platform, with its open top facing upward, and appears to be filled with miscellaneous waste or debris. The truck is parked close to the curb, with nearby trees and residential houses visible in the background, indicating a suburban area. The scene is captured in natural daylight, highlighting the industrial equipment and the surrounding environment, aligning with commercial waste management services provided by Commercial Waste Edmonton for rubbish removal, particularly in the local Edmonton region.

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.

The bottles are upright and leaning against each other, with a few partially submerged in the bin's rim. The background is plain and light-colored, with no other objects visible. The scene is well-lit, highlighting the transparency and surface textures of the glass bottles. This image relates to waste collection and recycling services offered by Commercial Waste Edmonton, potentially serving areas within or near the postal region of Edmonton, suggesting a focus on rubbish disposal and recycling solutions in the local community.

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.
