Modern Slavery Statement
Man with Van Croydon Modern Slavery Statement
This Modern Slavery Statement is made by Man with Van Croydon in relation to our operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to identify, prevent, and address modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our business. This statement sets out the steps we are taking to uphold human rights and promote fair and ethical working practices.
Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy
Man with Van Croydon has a zero-tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking, including forced labour, debt bondage, child labour, servitude, and exploitation. This applies to our direct operations, our workforce, and every stage of our supply chains. We are committed to conducting business in a manner that respects the dignity, safety, and freedom of every individual.
We expect all employees, agency workers, contractors, and suppliers to share this commitment. Any breach of this policy is treated as a serious matter that may result in termination of contracts, cessation of business relationships, and, where appropriate, referral to relevant authorities.
Our Business and Supply Chains
Man with Van Croydon provides removal and transportation services in Croydon and surrounding areas. Our supply chains include vehicle hire and maintenance providers, fuel suppliers, equipment and packaging suppliers, facilities management services, and labour agencies where used. We recognise that modern slavery risks may arise at different levels of these supply chains and we are committed to assessing and mitigating those risks.
Due Diligence and Supplier Audits
We carry out due diligence on new suppliers and review existing suppliers regularly to ensure they meet our ethical standards. As part of our approach, we:
Require suppliers to confirm that they comply with all applicable laws on modern slavery and human trafficking and maintain fair employment practices. Assess suppliers based on their location, type of service, and known sector risks, focusing particular attention on higher risk categories such as labour provision and low-skilled subcontracted work. Reserve the right to request information and documentation from suppliers relating to their own modern slavery policies, training, and controls.
Where appropriate, we undertake audits or inspections, which may include site visits or structured assessments, to review working conditions, recruitment practices, and the treatment of workers. Any supplier found to be involved in modern slavery, or unable to demonstrate adequate prevention controls, will face corrective action plans or termination of the business relationship.
Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing
Man with Van Croydon encourages anyone working for or with us to raise concerns about modern slavery and unethical practices without fear of retaliation. Concerns can be raised confidentially through internal management channels or in writing to senior management. We are committed to treating all reports seriously, investigating them promptly, and taking appropriate action where needed.
We will not tolerate any victimisation or detrimental treatment of a person who raises a concern in good faith. Where we identify potential criminal behaviour, we will consider referring matters to the relevant authorities and cooperating fully with any investigations.
Training and Awareness
We provide appropriate information and guidance to our staff, particularly those involved in recruitment, supplier selection, and contract management. This includes raising awareness of the signs of modern slavery, the importance of ethical labour practices, and the procedures for reporting concerns.
We expect our key suppliers and contractors to ensure that their own employees and subcontractors are aware of modern slavery risks and understand their obligations.
Monitoring, Review, and Continuous Improvement
We are committed to continuously improving our approach to tackling modern slavery. We monitor our operations and supply chains for emerging risks and adapt our controls where required. This includes reviewing supplier performance, any reported incidents, and the effectiveness of our training and due diligence processes.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually by senior management to ensure it remains relevant, effective, and aligned with current legislation and best practice. Updates may be made more frequently if there are significant changes in our business structure, supply chains, or legal requirements.
By maintaining strong standards, clear reporting channels, and regular reviews, Man with Van Croydon seeks to play a proactive role in preventing modern slavery and protecting vulnerable workers in our business and supply chains.
