Modern Slavery Statement for Man And Van Knightsbridge

At Man And Van Knightsbridge, we are committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with full respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps taken by our company to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of exploitation, and we expect the same commitment from every contractor, subcontractor, and supplier associated with our Knightsbridge removals service.

Our approach is built on vigilance, accountability, and continuous improvement. We recognise that the logistics and moving sector can involve multiple service partners, making it essential to monitor labour practices carefully. Accordingly, Man And Van Knightsbridge carries out proportionate due diligence when selecting suppliers and service providers, focusing on ethical employment practices, lawful work status, and fair treatment of workers. Any concerns identified during procurement are investigated promptly, and relationships may be suspended or ended where risks cannot be mitigated.

We also conduct supplier audits where appropriate, using a risk-based approach to assess compliance with our standards. These audits may include document checks, verification of right-to-work procedures, and reviews of subcontracting arrangements. In higher-risk scenarios, we may request declarations confirming that workers are paid appropriately, work voluntarily, and are free from coercion. This process supports our broader commitment to responsible operations across the Man And Van Knightsbridge supply chain.

Training and awareness are central to preventing exploitation. Relevant team members are briefed on warning signs of modern slavery, including restricted freedom of movement, withheld documents, debt bondage, or unusual dependency on an employer. We encourage a culture where concerns can be raised safely and without hesitation. Internal policies are reviewed to ensure that staff understand their responsibilities and that the company remains alert to emerging risks in the moving and transport environment.

Reporting channels are available for employees, suppliers, and third parties who wish to raise a concern in good faith. Reports may be made through internal management routes, and all disclosures are treated seriously, confidentially, and without retaliation. Where a concern is raised, we investigate proportionately, preserve relevant evidence, and take corrective action where necessary. If an allegation suggests immediate danger, the matter is escalated without delay to the appropriate authorities. This commitment reinforces the integrity of the Man And Van Knightsbridge modern slavery policy.

Our company also expects all business partners to uphold the same ethical standards. We include appropriate contractual provisions requiring compliance with anti-slavery obligations, and we reserve the right to request additional information where risks arise. If a supplier cannot demonstrate acceptable labour practices, we will work with them to improve standards where possible; however, we will not hesitate to disengage from relationships that present unresolved exploitation risks. This firm stance reflects our zero-tolerance approach to abuse in any part of the service chain.

To ensure ongoing effectiveness, this statement and the measures within it are subject to an annual review. The review considers changes in legislation, operational risk, supplier performance, audit outcomes, and any incidents or concerns raised during the year. Based on that assessment, we update our procedures, strengthen controls, and improve staff guidance where needed. The annual review helps Man And Van Knightsbridge remain proactive rather than reactive in addressing modern slavery risks.

We believe that ethical practice is not limited to compliance alone; it is an essential part of how we serve customers and work with partners. By maintaining robust due diligence, clear reporting routes, supplier oversight, and regular review, Man And Van Knightsbridge aims to uphold dignity and fairness throughout its business activities. This statement reflects our ongoing commitment to preventing modern slavery and promoting responsible conduct in every aspect of our operations.
