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 reflects our zero-tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, servitude, human trafficking, child labour, and exploitation. We recognise that even businesses operating in local logistics and removals must remain vigilant, because risks can exist throughout supply chains and service networks.
Our approach is built on clear expectations, responsible oversight, and continuous improvement. We expect every employee, contractor, and supplier associated with Man With Van Greenwich to act ethically and comply with applicable labour laws. Any breach of these standards is treated as a serious matter and may result in termination of business relationships, disciplinary action, or referral to the appropriate authorities. We believe that a strong ethical culture is essential to protecting vulnerable people and maintaining trust in our operations.
We have established due diligence procedures to help identify and reduce the risk of modern slavery within our activities. These procedures include checking the working practices of key suppliers, reviewing labour arrangements where relevant, and assessing whether subcontractors operate in line with our values. When engaging new suppliers, we look for evidence of lawful employment, fair treatment, and safe working conditions. Supplier audits are an important part of this process, and we use them to monitor compliance and address concerns promptly.
In addition to audits, we maintain a responsible procurement approach by evaluating suppliers according to risk, geography, and service type. Where higher-risk indicators are identified, additional review steps may be applied, including document verification, policy checks, and corrective action requirements. We also seek to promote awareness among staff so that concerns are recognised early and handled appropriately. Training and internal communication support our aim of embedding ethical conduct across the business.
Our reporting channels are designed to make it safe and straightforward for concerns to be raised. Employees and workers are encouraged to report suspected modern slavery, unsafe working arrangements, or unethical conduct through internal management routes and established grievance processes. Reports are treated confidentially and reviewed without delay. We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith, and we will investigate all credible reports carefully and impartially. Speaking up is a key safeguard in preventing abuse.
Where a concern is substantiated, we act swiftly to protect those affected and prevent recurrence. This may include suspending supplier activity, requesting remediation, strengthening oversight, or ending the relationship if improvement is not possible. Our objective is not only compliance but meaningful action that reduces harm. The leadership of Man With Van Greenwich oversees these measures and ensures that modern slavery risks remain visible at the highest level of the organisation.
This statement also reflects our commitment to continuous learning and responsible governance. We regularly review policies, procedures, and supplier standards to ensure they remain effective and proportionate to our business model. As expectations evolve, we strengthen our controls and refine our due diligence methods. We understand that preventing modern slavery requires ongoing attention, not a one-time declaration, and we therefore treat this as an active and permanent responsibility.
An annual review is carried out to assess the effectiveness of our modern slavery controls and to identify any areas for improvement. During this review, we consider supplier audit outcomes, reported concerns, training needs, and changes in risk exposure. The findings inform updates to our policies and operational practices for the year ahead. By reviewing our approach annually, Man With Van Greenwich ensures that its commitment remains practical, measurable, and aligned with best practice.
