Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Vauxhall

Man With Van Vauxhall is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour in any part of our operations or supply chain. We recognise that transport, removals, and logistics services can involve multiple contractors, agencies, and suppliers, which means vigilance is essential. Our approach is based on prevention, detection, and accountability, ensuring that the people connected to our work are treated fairly and lawfully.

We expect everyone working with or for Man With Van Vauxhall to uphold the highest ethical standards. This includes employees, subcontractors, labour providers, and suppliers. Our business will not knowingly support any organisation that benefits from exploitation. Any breach of this statement may result in the immediate termination of a relationship, contract, or engagement. We believe that protecting workers’ dignity is not only a legal responsibility, but a core part of sustainable and responsible business practice.

To reduce risk, Man With Van Vauxhall carries out due diligence before entering into new supplier relationships and continues to monitor established partners throughout the year. Our supplier audits assess labour practices, wage records, right-to-work checks, recruitment methods, and workplace conditions. Where concerns are identified, we require corrective action and may suspend or end the arrangement if standards are not improved. These reviews help us detect warning signs early and maintain a resilient, ethical supply chain.

We also require suppliers to confirm compliance with applicable employment, safety, and anti-trafficking laws. Man With Van Vauxhall reserves the right to request evidence of policies, worker contracts, subcontractor arrangements, and training records where appropriate. Our procurement decisions are informed not only by cost and service quality, but by ethical performance. In this way, we promote a culture where fair treatment is a condition of doing business, not an optional extra.

Reporting concerns is a vital part of our modern slavery controls. We encourage employees, contractors, and suppliers to raise suspicions of exploitation, unethical recruitment, or unsafe labour practices through internal reporting channels. Reports may be made confidentially, and all concerns are handled seriously, promptly, and without retaliation. We are committed to protecting whistleblowers and ensuring that anyone who raises a concern in good faith is supported. This helps create a workplace where issues can be addressed before harm escalates.

Training and awareness are equally important. Relevant personnel receive guidance on recognising signs of forced labour, document fraud, debt bondage, and coercive control. Man With Van Vauxhall expects managers to remain alert to unusual patterns such as restricted movement, excessive overtime, withheld earnings, or dependency on third parties for basic needs. By building awareness across the business, we strengthen our ability to identify risks in everyday operations and supplier relationships.

Our commitment is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, current, and aligned with best practice. Each review considers changes in legislation, business activity, supplier risk, and any incidents or concerns raised during the year. Where necessary, we update procedures, refine audit criteria, and strengthen reporting routes. The annual review is led with accountability, so that Man With Van Vauxhall continues to improve its response to modern slavery risks.

We understand that modern slavery is a hidden crime and that no industry is immune. For that reason, our statement is not a static document, but part of an ongoing commitment to responsible operations. We will continue to work with suppliers who share our values and take meaningful action when standards fall short. Our aim is to maintain a supply chain and service model that respects human rights at every stage.

This statement reflects the values of Man With Van Vauxhall and our determination to operate ethically in all areas of the business. Through a clear zero-tolerance policy, structured supplier audits, safe reporting channels, and a disciplined annual review process, we aim to prevent exploitation and promote fair working conditions. We remain committed to continuous improvement and to acting responsibly wherever our operations reach.
