Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Hammersmith

Man With Van Hammersmith is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent forced labour, human trafficking, and exploitation across our operations and supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can exist in many forms, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any practice that compromises the dignity or freedom of workers.

As a removal and transport service provider, our business relies on a network of drivers, subcontractors, and suppliers. We expect every party working with Man With Van Hammersmith to share our ethical standards and to comply with all applicable labour laws. We aim to ensure that our operations remain fair, lawful, and responsible at every stage.

Our approach to preventing slavery in the Man With Van Hammersmith supply chain is based on careful due diligence, clear expectations, and ongoing monitoring. Before entering into commercial relationships, we assess suppliers for ethical risks, including evidence of poor labour practices, unreasonable working conditions, or hidden subcontracting arrangements that may increase vulnerability to exploitation.

Supplier Oversight and Risk Management

Supplier audits are a key part of our control framework. Where appropriate, we conduct periodic reviews of suppliers and subcontractors to confirm compliance with labour standards, wage practices, and worker welfare requirements. These audits may include document checks, site visits, and verification of recruitment and employment processes. If concerns are identified, we require corrective action and may suspend or end the relationship if the issue is not resolved.

The Man With Van Hammersmith modern slavery statement also applies internally. We review our own policies for hiring, onboarding, and workforce management to ensure that no employee, agency worker, or contractor is exposed to coercion, deception, or unfair treatment. We do not accept withheld passports, debt bondage, intimidation, or any form of forced work.

We support awareness across the business by making sure managers understand the warning signs of exploitation. Indicators may include restricted movement, inconsistent pay information, fear of speaking freely, or inability to control personal documents. By identifying risks early, Man With Van Hammersmith can act quickly and responsibly.

Reporting Channels and Accountability

We encourage all workers, suppliers, and relevant third parties to report concerns in good faith. Reporting channels are kept simple and accessible so that suspected issues can be raised without delay. Any report is treated seriously, handled confidentially where possible, and investigated promptly. We protect individuals who raise concerns from retaliation or disadvantage.

Where a concern is substantiated, we take proportionate action, which may include remediation, suspension of work, enhanced monitoring, or termination of a contract. Zero tolerance means that modern slavery is never accepted as a business trade-off, regardless of commercial pressure or operational urgency.

We also work to strengthen procurement decisions by favouring suppliers who demonstrate robust ethical controls. Modern slavery prevention is not a one-time exercise but an ongoing responsibility that must be embedded in everyday decision-making.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with evolving legal and ethical expectations. During each review, Man With Van Hammersmith assesses progress, updates risk controls, and considers whether additional training, audit activity, or supplier screening measures are needed.

We believe that continuous improvement is essential in preventing exploitation. Our leadership remains accountable for maintaining standards and ensuring that modern slavery risks are actively managed across the business. Through regular review, stronger supplier scrutiny, and clear reporting pathways, we aim to uphold a workplace and supply chain built on fairness and respect.

In conclusion, Man With Van Hammersmith reaffirms its commitment to ethical practice, lawful employment, and human dignity. This modern slavery statement reflects our ongoing determination to identify, prevent, and address any risk of slavery or trafficking within our operations and supplier relationships.
