Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Greenwich
Man With Van Greenwich is committed to conducting business with integrity, dignity, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement explains the steps we take to prevent slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery, and we expect the same standard from all employees, contractors, and suppliers.
As a Greenwich van service operating in a people-focused industry, we recognise that ethical conduct must guide every part of our work. Our commitment applies to recruitment, onboarding, subcontracting, transport activities, and procurement. We believe that responsible business practice is not only a legal duty but also a core part of how Man With Van Greenwich protects workers and supports fair treatment across every level of service delivery.
We have implemented internal controls designed to identify and reduce modern slavery risks. These include verifying employment eligibility, using clear contracts, and ensuring that working arrangements are transparent and lawful. We also train relevant staff to recognise warning signs such as restricted movement, withheld documents, unsafe conditions, or unusual dependence on third parties. This supports our wider anti-slavery commitment and helps us respond quickly if concerns arise.
Supplier relationships are central to our prevention strategy. Man With Van Greenwich carries out supplier audits and due diligence checks to assess the ethical standards of businesses we work with. These checks may include reviewing labour practices, payment arrangements, subcontracting controls, and evidence of compliance with employment laws. Where risks are identified, we require corrective action, and we may suspend or end the relationship if concerns cannot be resolved.
We expect suppliers to share our values and to maintain robust safeguards against modern slavery. Our procurement decisions take account of ethical performance as well as service quality and reliability. By applying this approach consistently, our Greenwich removals and transport operations can reduce the likelihood that exploitation will enter the supply chain. We also monitor changes in supplier behaviour over time, ensuring that compliance is not a one-time exercise but an ongoing responsibility.
Reporting concerns is a vital part of our safeguarding framework. Anyone who suspects modern slavery, unsafe labour practices, or exploitation can raise the issue through our internal reporting channels. Reports are treated seriously, handled confidentially where possible, and reviewed promptly by responsible managers. No person will suffer retaliation for making a genuine report in good faith, and all concerns are assessed with care and discretion.
Our staff are encouraged to remain alert to signs of coercion, intimidation, debt bondage, or excessive control over workers. Where a concern is raised, we investigate in line with our internal procedures and may seek expert support if needed. If a risk is confirmed, we take appropriate action, which can include removing a supplier, escalating the matter to the relevant authorities, or strengthening safeguards to prevent recurrence. This is part of our wider Man With Van Greenwich ethical policy.
We understand that modern slavery can be hidden and that effective prevention requires regular review. For that reason, this statement and our supporting controls are reviewed annually to ensure they remain effective, current, and proportionate to the risks we face. The annual review considers incidents, audit findings, supplier performance, and any changes in legislation or best practice. Improvements are then built into our policies, training, and monitoring processes.
By maintaining strong governance and a clear zero-tolerance approach, Man With Van Greenwich aims to contribute to a safer and fairer working environment. We will continue to strengthen awareness, improve oversight, and work with responsible partners who respect human rights.
This statement reflects our ongoing commitment to ethical business conduct and to preventing exploitation in every part of our operations and supply chain.
