Modern Slavery Statement — Skip Hire Temple

Skip Hire Temple is committed to the highest standards of ethics and human rights across our operations and supply chain. We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking and exploitation. This statement applies across our skip hire services, including all Temple skip hire activities, and reflects our expectation that every colleague, contractor and partner shares this commitment.

Our Commitment and Principles

We believe that every worker should be treated with dignity and respect. As a responsible skip-hire Temple business, we maintain strong policies and procedures that require compliance with labour laws and international human rights standards. Our core principles include transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement. We will not tolerate any practice that undermines these principles and we will act decisively to prevent it.

This modern slavery and human trafficking statement explains how SkipHire Temple identifies, assesses and mitigates the risk of exploitation in our operations and the operations of our suppliers. It is supported by our senior leadership and forms part of our corporate governance framework.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We carry out risk-based supplier assessments to identify areas where forced labour or other abuses could occur. Our supplier code of conduct requires compliance with all applicable employment laws and sets out clear expectations on working conditions, wages and the prohibition of bonded labour. We use a combination of self-assessments, contractual clauses and on-site audits to validate compliance.

Supplier audits are conducted regularly and include document reviews, worker interviews and site inspections. Where risks are identified we implement corrective action plans and follow a structured remediation process. For higher-risk suppliers, we increase the frequency of audits and may suspend or terminate relationships if remediation is not achieved.

Our procurement teams maintain records of audits and corrective actions and report findings to senior management. We encourage ethical sourcing across the entire skip hire company supply chain and prioritise suppliers that demonstrate strong labour practices and robust governance.

We provide multiple, confidential reporting channels so that workers, contractors and third parties can raise concerns without fear of retaliation. Reports can be made anonymously and are treated with the utmost seriousness. All allegations are investigated promptly and impartially. Reporting channels are monitored to ensure timely resolution and to capture systemic issues that may require broader action across the Temple skip hire business.

Our approach to training and communication ensures that staff at all levels understand modern slavery risks and how to report concerns. We deliver targeted training for procurement, operations and management teams and provide accessible materials that explain our zero-tolerance stance and the practical steps people should take if they suspect exploitation.

We maintain a robust escalation process. Serious incidents trigger immediate senior management review and, where appropriate, external authorities are engaged. All remedial actions prioritise the safety and wellbeing of affected individuals, and we seek to restore impacted parties to safe and lawful conditions.

To support continuous improvement across our skip hire operations, we collect metrics on supplier performance, audit outcomes and reports received. These metrics inform risk assessments and help drive targeted interventions where they will have the greatest impact.

Our policy framework includes contractual clauses that require suppliers to cooperate with investigations and to demonstrate compliance. We also promote collaborative initiatives with industry peers and local organisations to strengthen worker protections across the sector.

We publish this statement to demonstrate Skip Hire Temple's determination to prevent modern slavery in all its forms. It reinforces our role as a responsible skip-hire company and our commitment to ethical, lawful and humane business practices.

Annual review: this modern slavery statement is reviewed at least once every 12 months by our leadership team. We evaluate the effectiveness of our policies, audit findings, training outcomes and reporting mechanisms and update our approach accordingly. The review process is documented and improvements are implemented promptly to address emerging risks.

We remain resolute in our stance: no tolerance for exploitation and an ongoing commitment to eradicate any form of modern slavery from our operations and supply chain. As Temple skip hire professionals, we will continue to strengthen our systems, engage suppliers and protect workers across every stage of our business.
