Modern Slavery Statement — Rubbish Junk

Rubbish Junk affirms a firm commitment to human rights and to preventing all forms of modern slavery. This modern slavery statement sets out the policies, governance and actions we take to ensure that slavery, forced labour, human trafficking and exploitation have no place in our operations or our supply chains. Our RubbishJunk anti-slavery policy is grounded in a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery.

We maintain a clear zero-tolerance policy that applies to all employees, contractors and suppliers engaged by Rubbish Junk. Any breach of this policy will trigger formal investigation and decisive corrective action, including termination of contracts and referral to enforcement authorities where appropriate. Rubbish Junk's slavery policy requires compliance with all relevant laws and expects partners to demonstrate transparency, ethical labour practices and respect for fundamental human rights.

Supplier relationships are managed to reduce the risk of forced labour and exploitation. Our supplier due diligence program includes documented expectations in contracts and supplier codes of conduct. Key elements of our supplier audits and oversight include:

• Regular supplier risk assessments and on-site or remote supplier audits;
• Verification of working conditions, wages and recruitment practices;
• Corrective action plans with time-bound milestones and follow-up audits.

Approach to Due Diligence

Rubbish Junk conducts risk-based due diligence across our procurement categories and operational footprint. We use a mix of internal review, third-party audit reports and supplier self-assessments to identify red flags. Where risks are identified, we apply proportionate mitigation measures, including enhanced monitoring, technical support for remediation and, if necessary, removal from our approved supplier lists. This approach is central to our Modern Slavery Statement for Rubbish Junk.

Monitoring and continuous improvement are core to our compliance framework. We require suppliers to maintain transparent employment records and to prohibit retention of identity documents, debt bondage, excessive working hours and other exploitative practices. Our procurement teams receive training on identifying indicators of modern slavery and on how to escalate concerns. We also encourage collaborative remediation where labour rights issues are discovered, prioritizing worker safety and restitution.

Reporting channels are available to all workers, contractors and third parties to raise concerns safely and confidentially. Our reporting mechanisms include anonymous whistleblowing processes, escalation to senior management and independent review of allegations. The following reporting channels are promoted across operations:

• Internal whistleblower hotline and secure online reporting (anonymous options available);
• Direct escalation to compliance or human resources for non-anonymous reports;
• Third-party independent investigator engagement when required.

Training, Remediation and Governance

We provide targeted training to procurement, operations and frontline teams to raise awareness of modern slavery risks and how to respond. Rubbish Junk ensures that training is updated regularly and that team leaders are equipped to implement supplier audits and remedial steps. RubbishJunk's modern slavery statement emphasises remedy for affected workers, including safe repatriation, compensation where appropriate and corrective measures with suppliers.

Our governance framework assigns clear accountability for anti-slavery compliance. The Board and senior management receive regular reports on risk exposure, audit outcomes and remediation progress. We maintain a documented process for corrective action and for terminating relationships where suppliers fail to meet our standards. Crucially, we commit to an annual review of our policies and practices to ensure the statement remains current and effective.

In conclusion, the Rubbish Junk Modern Slavery Statement is a living declaration of our dedication to preventing modern slavery across our business and supply chain. We adopt a zero-tolerance approach, perform robust supplier audits, maintain multiple secure reporting channels and conduct a formal annual review of our policies and performance. Through these combined actions, Rubbish Junk seeks to uphold human dignity and worker rights across all aspects of our operations.
