Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Hammersmith
Man With Van Hammersmith is committed to operating with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights in every part of our work. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by our business to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour, and all forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can exist in many hidden forms, and we maintain an unequivocal zero-tolerance policy toward any practice that violates a person’s freedom, dignity, or basic rights.
Our approach applies to all staff, contractors, and third-party partners who support Man With Van Hammersmith. We expect the same ethical standards from everyone we work with, especially where services, transport support, packaging, storage, and disposal activities are involved. This statement reflects our continued commitment to responsible business conduct and to building a culture in which slavery and exploitation are never accepted, ignored, or normalised.
The business takes a preventative approach by assessing where risks may arise and acting early to reduce them. We understand that sectors involving logistics, labour hire, and subcontracting may present elevated exposure to unfair working conditions. For that reason, Man With Van Hammersmith reviews its working relationships carefully and expects full compliance with labour laws, safe working practices, and ethical recruitment standards.
Supplier diligence is a central part of our framework. We carry out supplier audits and checks proportionate to the risk presented by each supplier, including reviews of employment practices, right-to-work controls, pay arrangements, and subcontracting chains. Where concerns are identified, we require corrective action and may suspend or end the relationship if improvements are not made. These audits help us monitor whether our van service operations and associated supply partners meet the standards expected by Man With Van Hammersmith.
We also require suppliers to confirm that they do not use forced, bonded, or trafficked labour and that all workers are treated fairly and lawfully. In addition to due diligence at onboarding, we may request updated documentation or conduct further checks where circumstances change. This ongoing scrutiny strengthens our ability to identify risk in the wider network supporting Man With Van Hammersmith.
Training and awareness are important parts of our prevention strategy. Relevant team members are briefed on the signs of exploitation, including unusual restrictions on movement, withheld wages, intimidation, excessive hours, or inappropriate control over identity documents. By increasing awareness, our Hammersmith removals team is better equipped to recognise potential concerns and act responsibly if something does not seem right.
We provide clear reporting channels so that concerns can be raised safely and promptly. Anyone connected with our business may report suspected modern slavery, unsafe labour conditions, or unethical supplier behaviour through internal management routes. Reports are treated seriously, handled confidentially where possible, and investigated without delay. No retaliation will be tolerated against anyone who raises a concern in good faith.
Where a concern is substantiated, we will take appropriate action, which may include removing a supplier, notifying relevant authorities, or implementing stronger controls. Our aim is not only to respond to incidents but to reduce the chance of recurrence. This proactive stance supports the integrity of Man With Van Hammersmith removals and demonstrates that ethical conduct is embedded in our operations.
We review this statement annually to ensure it remains current, effective, and aligned with our business activities and legal obligations. The annual review considers changes in supply chain risk, audit findings, training needs, and any reported concerns. As part of this process, we update our procedures where necessary so that Man With Van Hammersmith continues to strengthen its response to modern slavery.
In summary, Man With Van Hammersmith is committed to responsible trading, transparent supplier management, and the protection of workers throughout its operations. We will continue to uphold our zero-tolerance stance, maintain supplier audits, encourage safe reporting, and conduct regular reviews to ensure our modern slavery controls remain effective. By doing so, we aim to support a supply chain built on respect, accountability, and lawful employment.
