Tomys Waste Modern Slavery Statement

Tomys Waste is committed to maintaining the highest standards of ethics and human rights across our operations and supply chain. This Modern Slavery Statement and anti-slavery policy sets out our approach to preventing forced labour, human trafficking and other forms of exploitation. We declare a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery or human trafficking in our business and partners, and we require every stakeholder to comply with this anti-slavery statement.

Our Zero-Tolerance Policy

We operate a zero-tolerance stance: any evidence of forced labour, involuntary servitude, bonded labour, or deceptive recruitment practices will result in immediate action. This includes termination of contracts with suppliers found to be in breach and, when appropriate, reporting to the relevant authorities. The Tomys Waste modern slavery policy is enforced across procurement, operations and corporate governance functions to ensure consistent application.

Tomys Waste’s modern slavery and human trafficking statement extends to our entire value chain. We expect all suppliers, subcontractors and business partners to adopt equivalent standards. Compliance is mandatory and contractual clauses require suppliers to certify adherence to our anti-slavery statement and to cooperate with due diligence activities.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

We conduct systematic supplier audits and risk-based due diligence to identify and mitigate slavery risks. Audit processes include site visits, document reviews and worker interviews where feasible. Key audit focuses include:

• Verification of legal working status and right-to-work documentation.
• Assessment of recruitment practices, fees and third-party labour providers.
• Payroll transparency and evidence that wages meet local legal minima.
• Living and working conditions, including hours, safety and access to grievance mechanisms.

Where audits identify non-compliance, we require corrective action plans with clear deadlines. Persistent or serious breaches lead to remedial actions up to and including termination of the commercial relationship.

We embed supplier screening at onboarding and regularly review high-risk categories. Procurement teams receive training to spot indicators of exploitation and to escalate concerns to the compliance function for investigation.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Tomys Waste maintains confidential reporting channels to enable workers, suppliers and third parties to raise concerns without fear of retaliation. Reports can be submitted anonymously through internally designated channels and are investigated promptly. We emphasize protection for whistleblowers and the impartial handling of allegations related to our modern slavery policy.

Our reporting framework includes documented procedures to triage reports, preserve confidentiality, and enact remediation where necessary. We collaborate with suppliers to resolve issues, support affected individuals, and where required, engage external experts or law enforcement.

We publish an annual anti-slavery statement that outlines our modern slavery prevention activities and progress. An internal governance committee oversees implementation, and performance metrics track audit findings, remedial actions and training coverage. The annual review evaluates the effectiveness of the modern slavery policy and identifies opportunities for continuous improvement.
