Modern Slavery Statement for Man And Van Greenwich

Man And Van Greenwich is committed to operating with integrity, respect, and accountability in every part of its business. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking within our operations and supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can exist in many forms, and we take a zero-tolerance approach to any practice that exploits or harms people.

Our business works across removal, transport, and related support services, so we understand the importance of maintaining ethical standards at every stage. We expect everyone acting on behalf of Man And Van Greenwich to uphold lawful and responsible conduct. This includes staff, contractors, and suppliers who provide goods or services connected to our activities. Our policy is grounded in fairness, dignity, and the belief that every person should be treated with respect.

We are committed to identifying and reducing risks through clear procedures, careful oversight, and continuous improvement. The prevention of modern slavery in Greenwich and beyond is part of our wider responsibility as a responsible service provider. We require a high standard of conduct and will take decisive action if concerns arise.

Our Zero-Tolerance Policy

Our zero-tolerance policy applies to all areas of the business. We do not accept forced labour, debt bondage, child labour, coercion, hidden recruitment fees, or any practice that restricts freedom of movement or choice. Any breach of this policy will be investigated promptly and may result in termination of contracts, suspension of working relationships, or referral to relevant authorities where appropriate.

To support this position, we provide internal guidance so that employees can recognise warning signs such as unusually high staff turnover, inconsistent working conditions, withheld documents, or signs of intimidation. The Man And Van Greenwich modern slavery policy is intended to ensure that ethical expectations are understood and applied consistently. We also expect our suppliers to demonstrate the same commitment and to maintain their own safeguards against exploitation.

Our management team reviews ethical risks as part of routine oversight. If concerns are identified, they are escalated without delay and handled confidentially and fairly. This approach helps us protect vulnerable people and uphold the standards expected of a trusted Greenwich removals company.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

Supplier due diligence is a key part of our risk management process. Before engaging new suppliers, we assess their practices, reputation, and ability to comply with our expectations on labour standards and ethical sourcing. Where necessary, we request policy statements, checks on recruitment practices, and evidence of lawful employment arrangements.

We conduct supplier audits on a risk-based basis, focusing more closely on services or goods that may present a higher exposure to labour abuse. Audits may include document checks, review of employment terms, and confirmation that subcontractors are also compliant. If issues are found, we require corrective action within a defined timeframe and monitor progress until concerns are resolved.

Our supplier standards are designed to promote transparency throughout the chain. We will not knowingly work with any organisation that fails to address human trafficking or modern slavery risks. By strengthening oversight, Man And Van Greenwich aims to support ethical trade and responsible working practices.

Reporting Channels and Safeguarding

We encourage anyone connected with our operations to report suspicions or concerns at the earliest opportunity. Concerns may relate to labour abuse, unsafe recruitment, intimidation, excessive hours, withholding of pay, or any behaviour suggesting exploitation. Reports are treated seriously, handled discreetly, and investigated in a timely and proportionate way.

Multiple reporting channels are available so that issues can be raised safely and without fear of retaliation. We make clear that no one will suffer detriment for speaking up in good faith. Where necessary, we will work with relevant partners to ensure that vulnerable individuals are protected and that appropriate action is taken.

Staff are reminded that vigilance is a shared responsibility. Training and internal communication help reinforce the importance of spotting signs of abuse and escalating concerns quickly. This is central to our commitment to a safe and ethical Man And Van Greenwich service.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, current, and aligned with legal requirements and operational realities. The review considers any reported incidents, changes in our supply chain, audit findings, and opportunities to improve controls. We use this process to strengthen accountability and refine our response to emerging risks.

As part of the annual review, we assess whether our policies, training, and supplier checks remain suitable for the nature and scale of our business. Where improvements are needed, they are incorporated into updated procedures and communicated to relevant teams. This ongoing approach supports a stronger framework against modern slavery and helps ensure that Greenwich Man and Van operations remain ethical and responsible.

We are committed to acting with integrity, learning from experience, and maintaining a workplace and supply chain where exploitation has no place. Through firm standards, regular audits, accessible reporting routes, and yearly review, Man And Van Greenwich continues to reinforce its zero-tolerance stance toward modern slavery in all forms.
