Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Greenwich

Man With Van Greenwich is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the principles and practical steps we take to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking in our operations and supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can affect many industries, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of exploitation. Every person involved in our work must be treated with dignity, and any breach of these standards is addressed promptly and decisively.

Our approach applies to all areas of the business, including direct operations, subcontracted services, and procurement activities. We expect the same ethical conduct from all suppliers, contractors, and partners associated with Man With Van Greenwich. To support this commitment, we assess risks regularly, review working practices, and ensure that labour standards are upheld across the services we use. This statement reflects our ongoing responsibility to identify, prevent, and respond to risks of modern slavery in a structured and accountable way.

We also provide clear internal guidance so that staff understand what signs may indicate exploitation. Suspicious indicators can include restricted movement, withheld documents, unsafe accommodation, intimidation, or unusual control over wages and working hours. By promoting awareness, we help create a workplace culture where concerns are recognised early and acted upon immediately. Man With Van Greenwich believes that prevention is strongest when everyone understands their role in safeguarding human rights.

Supplier due diligence is a central part of our anti-slavery controls. Before engaging suppliers, we evaluate their labour practices, compliance history, and business reputation. Where appropriate, we request written confirmation of ethical employment standards and may carry out supplier audits to verify adherence. These audits may involve document checks, review of subcontracting arrangements, and assessment of worker treatment. If any supplier fails to meet our standards, we require corrective action and may suspend or end the relationship if improvement is not achieved.

We also expect suppliers to maintain their own controls against labour abuse and to apply them throughout their supply chains. This includes preventing illegal recruitment fees, ensuring right-to-work checks are lawful and fair, and making sure workers are free from coercion. By embedding these expectations into our procurement process, Man With Van Greenwich reinforces the principle that ethical conduct is not optional but essential to working with us. We aim to work only with organisations that share our respect for lawful, transparent, and humane employment practices.

Reporting concerns is critical to our response framework. Staff, contractors, and suppliers are encouraged to raise any suspicion of modern slavery without delay through our internal reporting channels. Concerns may be reported confidentially to management, and all reports are handled sensitively and without retaliation. We investigate every allegation seriously, documenting findings and taking action where necessary. If a concern suggests immediate risk to a worker, we prioritise safety and may involve the appropriate authorities or specialist support organisations.

Our commitment also includes fair recruitment and transparent employment practices. We do not tolerate deception in hiring, passport retention, debt bondage, or any form of forced dependency. We expect workers to have freedom of movement and fair access to their earnings and conditions of work. Man With Van Greenwich reviews relevant policies to ensure they remain aligned with current legal duties and ethical expectations. Training and oversight support consistent application of these standards across the business.

We recognise that modern slavery risks can change over time, particularly as supply chains evolve. For that reason, our statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective and relevant. During the review, we examine incident reports, audit findings, supplier performance, and any updates to legislation or best practice. Where improvements are identified, we strengthen our controls and update our procedures accordingly. This continuous review process helps us maintain accountability and improve our prevention efforts year after year.

In summary, Man With Van Greenwich stands firmly against modern slavery in all its forms. Through a zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, accessible reporting channels, and annual review, we aim to protect workers and uphold ethical standards throughout our activities. We will continue to act responsibly, monitor risks carefully, and expect the same commitment from those who work with us. This statement represents our ongoing promise to operate with integrity and to help ensure that exploitation has no place in our business.
