Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Eastfinchley

At Man With Van Eastfinchley, we are committed to operating with integrity, dignity, and respect for every person involved in our 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 occur in many forms, and we take a zero-tolerance approach to any practice that exploits people or denies them basic rights.

Our business values depend on lawful and ethical conduct. Whether we are arranging removals, coordinating logistics, or working with contractors, we expect the highest standards of behaviour. We believe that Man With Van Eastfinchley must not only comply with relevant legislation but also actively promote fair treatment, safe working conditions, and responsible business practices. This commitment is embedded in our policies and forms part of our wider approach to corporate responsibility.

We apply a zero-tolerance policy to modern slavery in all forms. This means we will not knowingly work with any person, business, or supplier involved in exploitative labour practices. Where concerns are identified, they are investigated promptly, and appropriate action is taken, which may include ending a relationship if risks cannot be reduced. Our staff are expected to remain alert to warning signs such as withholding of wages, excessive working hours, restricted movement, or coercive recruitment practices.

To reduce risk across our supply chain, supplier audits are an important part of our process. We assess suppliers and subcontractors using a risk-based approach that considers the nature of the service, the geography involved, and the type of workforce employed. These audits may include checks on employment practices, right-to-work procedures, pay arrangements, and evidence of compliance with labour standards. We also seek assurances that suppliers share our commitment to ethical conduct and can demonstrate responsible management of their own workers and subcontractors.

If a supplier is unable to meet our expectations, we require corrective action within a reasonable timeframe. Continued non-compliance may lead to suspension or termination of the relationship. Modern slavery prevention is not treated as a one-time exercise; it is an ongoing due diligence process. We also encourage open dialogue with suppliers so that risks can be identified early and addressed before they escalate.

Reporting concerns is essential to the effectiveness of this statement. We provide clear reporting channels so that employees, contractors, and other stakeholders can raise concerns about suspected exploitation or unethical conduct. Reports may be made internally through management or designated compliance contacts, and all concerns are treated seriously, confidentially, and without retaliation. Anyone raising a concern in good faith will be supported, and allegations will be reviewed promptly and fairly.

We understand that awareness is a key part of prevention. For that reason, relevant team members are encouraged to recognise potential indicators of exploitation and to act responsibly when concerns arise. Man With Van Eastfinchley expects everyone connected with the business to respect legal and ethical standards and to support a safe and fair working environment. Our internal procedures are designed to ensure that issues are escalated appropriately and handled with care.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure that it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with current legal requirements and business operations. During each review, we consider changes to our risk profile, supplier relationships, and working practices, and we update our controls where necessary. The annual review also helps us measure progress, strengthen oversight, and reinforce our commitment to preventing exploitation across the business.

As part of our continued commitment, we will keep improving our due diligence, enhancing supplier checks, and maintaining strong reporting mechanisms. This modern slavery statement reflects our determination to conduct business responsibly and ethically. Man With Van Eastfinchley will continue to promote fair labour practices and reject any form of abuse, coercion, or exploitation in our operations and supply chain.
