London Man and Van Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement

London Man and Van is committed to conducting all aspects of its business in an ethical, transparent, and responsible manner. This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. It applies to all employees, agency workers, contractors, and suppliers engaged by London Man and Van.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

London Man and Van adopts a strict zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking. We do not tolerate any form of forced labour, servitude, exploitation, or child labour in our own operations or in the activities of any third parties who provide goods or services to us. We expect the same high standards from all parties we work with and we will not knowingly enter into or maintain relationships with any organisation that engages in, or is unwilling to address, modern slavery risks.

All individuals working for or on behalf of London Man and Van are required to act with integrity and to uphold our ethical standards at all times. Breaches of this policy may result in disciplinary action, including termination of employment or contract, and may be reported to relevant authorities where appropriate.

Our Business and Supply Chain

London Man and Van provides professional removals, delivery, and related logistics services. Our supply chain includes vehicle leasing and maintenance providers, fuel suppliers, equipment and packaging suppliers, facility providers, recruitment agencies, and other service partners. We recognise that certain areas of our supply chain may present a higher risk of labour exploitation, particularly where temporary labour or subcontracted services are used.

We are committed to improving our understanding of modern slavery risks within our sector and tailoring our controls and procedures accordingly.

Supplier Standards and Audits

We expect all suppliers and contractors to share our commitment to preventing modern slavery. When engaging new suppliers, we assess their ethical standards, labour practices, and compliance with applicable laws. Wherever appropriate, we seek contractual assurances that suppliers prohibit forced labour, human trafficking, and child labour, and that they uphold safe and fair working conditions.

London Man and Van conducts proportionate risk-based checks and audits of key suppliers. These may involve requesting evidence of labour policies, reviewing supplier statements and codes of conduct, or conducting site visits where feasible. If a supplier is unable or unwilling to demonstrate adequate safeguards, we may suspend or terminate the relationship.

We encourage our suppliers to cascade similar standards throughout their own supply chains, helping to raise awareness and reduce the risk of modern slavery at multiple levels.

Reporting Concerns and Whistleblowing Channels

All staff, contractors, and suppliers are encouraged to report any concerns or suspicions of modern slavery or unethical labour practices connected with London Man and Van or its supply chain. Concerns may arise from observations at our sites, during deliveries, or in dealings with third parties.

Reports can be made to a line manager, a senior manager, or through internal reporting channels made available to staff. We are committed to handling all reports sensitively and, where possible, confidentially. No individual will suffer any detrimental treatment for raising a concern in good faith, even if it is not subsequently confirmed.

Where there is a credible risk or evidence of modern slavery, London Man and Van will take prompt and appropriate action, which may include engaging with the relevant supplier, suspending services, investigating internally, or reporting matters to external authorities.

Training and Awareness

We work to ensure that relevant employees, particularly those involved in procurement, recruitment, and supplier management, understand the signs of modern slavery and the steps to take if they suspect it may be occurring. Awareness raising may include induction briefings, internal communications, and targeted training resources focused on identifying red flags and following correct reporting procedures.

Monitoring, Accountability, and Annual Review

Responsibility for overseeing this Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement and related procedures sits with the senior management of London Man and Van. We monitor compliance with this statement through ongoing supplier assessments, review of reported concerns, and analysis of risk within our operations.

This statement is reviewed at least annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with legal requirements and best practice guidance. As our business and supply chains evolve, we will update our controls, supplier expectations, and training to strengthen our ability to prevent and address modern slavery.

By publishing this statement, London Man and Van affirms its continuing commitment to ethical conduct, respect for human rights, and the elimination of modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms.
