Demonstrated progress

Our statement sets out Biffa’s actions to understand all potential modern slavery risks related to its business and to put in place steps that are aimed at ensuring that there is no slavery or human trafficking in its own business and its supply chains. We use key performance indicators to measure our performance, and we set targets for our next statement.

Reported risks and mitigations

• Risk: We recognise that some areas of our supply chain, particularly those involving temporary labour through managed service and agency arrangements, carry a higher risk of exploitation.
• Area: Within your supply chains
• Tier: Tier 1 suppliers
• Group: Migrants Refugees
• Location: United Kingdom
• Mitigation: Over the past year, we’ve continued our focus on Modern Slavery across our operations & supply chain. Our partnership with Smart Solutions Group, our managed service provider, is a key part of this. We maintain regular, transparent dialogue through on-site Account Managers & strategic meetings. SFA also conducted an audit on one of our key suppliers to assess their current understanding of & response to the risk of modern slavery & labour exploitation and how we could work better together
• Risk: We are an acquisitive company and recognise that companies we acquire may require improvements to their practices to support our integration of that business to Biffa practices.
• Area: Within your own operations
• Mitigation: We ensure we undertake robust Modern Slavery due diligence on all of our acquisitions and we commission Slave Free Alliance (SFA) to complete audits of our acquired businesses. In FY 2025 the SFA audited Hamilton Waste and Recycling, to benchmark their practices and to support our integration of that business to Biffa practices.
