Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Greenwich

At Man With Van Greenwich, we are committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to help prevent slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation in our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can exist in many forms, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any practice that undermines dignity or lawful employment. Our commitment applies across every level of our business, from direct operations to the wider network of suppliers and contractors.

We understand that the risk of modern slavery can arise in service-based businesses through recruitment, subcontracting, vehicle support, cleaning, maintenance, uniforms, and other purchased services. To address this, Man With Van Greenwich carries out due diligence when selecting suppliers and expects all partners to share our ethical standards. We ask suppliers to confirm that they comply with applicable labour laws, avoid exploitative practices, and provide safe working conditions. Where concerns arise, we investigate promptly and take appropriate action.

Our Commitment to Ethical Practice

The leadership team of Man With Van Greenwich is responsible for embedding ethical conduct into day-to-day decision-making. We promote awareness among staff so that everyone understands the signs of exploitation and the importance of reporting concerns early. Our anti-slavery approach is reinforced through internal policies, recruitment checks, and fair-working expectations. We expect transparency in employment arrangements and discourage any hidden labour practices that could place workers at risk.

Supplier management is a key part of our approach. We use supplier audits and periodic reviews to assess whether partners are meeting the standards we require. These checks may include confirmation of legal right to work, pay arrangements, subcontracting controls, and the treatment of workers in the service chain. If a supplier fails to meet our expectations, we seek corrective action, and where necessary, we will suspend or end the relationship. This helps us reduce exposure to modern slavery risks in the Man With Van Greenwich supply network.

Reporting and Safeguarding

We encourage all employees, contractors, and suppliers to report any suspicion of exploitation, unsafe recruitment practices, or coercion. Reporting channels are kept accessible and confidential, and concerns are handled seriously and without retaliation. Reports may include issues relating to wages, identity documents, restricted movement, intimidation, or signs that a worker is not acting freely. By creating a culture where people feel able to speak up, Man With Van Greenwich strengthens its ability to identify and address risks quickly.

Training and awareness are also essential. Relevant team members receive guidance on recognising warning signs and on how to escalate concerns appropriately. We aim to ensure that our staff understand that modern slavery is not only a legal and ethical issue but also a serious breach of trust. This statement supports our broader responsibility to operate safely, lawfully, and with respect for those who contribute to our services.

Review and Continuous Improvement

Our approach is not static. We carry out an annual review of this statement and of the controls that support it, taking into account operational changes, supplier performance, and any relevant developments in law or guidance. The review process helps Man With Van Greenwich identify areas for improvement and refine our safeguards over time. Where needed, we update our policies, training, and audit process to ensure they remain effective and proportionate.

This statement reflects our ongoing commitment to responsible business conduct. We believe that preventing modern slavery requires vigilance, accountability, and cooperation across the supply chain. By maintaining a zero-tolerance policy, carrying out supplier audits, providing secure reporting channels, and reviewing our practices annually, Man With Van Greenwich works to uphold human rights and ethical standards in everything we do.
