Modern Slavery Statement for Man with Van Enfield Wash

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by Man with Van Enfield Wash to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to respect human rights and to act with integrity and transparency in all our business dealings.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

Man with Van Enfield Wash operates on a strict zero-tolerance basis toward modern slavery and human trafficking in any form. We are committed to ensuring that everyone who works for us, or with us, does so voluntarily, is treated with dignity, and is provided with safe and fair working conditions. We will not knowingly engage with any supplier, contractor, or partner who fails to uphold these principles.

All employees, agency workers, and contractors are expected to comply with our standards and to act ethically at all times. Any behaviour that is inconsistent with our zero-tolerance policy will be investigated and may result in disciplinary action or termination of business relationships.

Our Business and Supply Chains

Man with Van Enfield Wash provides transportation and moving services within the local area and beyond. Our supply chains primarily include vehicle leasing or purchase, fuel providers, equipment and packaging suppliers, and occasional use of subcontracted labour and logistics support.

We recognise that certain sectors and regions may carry a higher risk of labour exploitation. As our business grows, we will continue to assess potential risk areas within our operations and supply chains and take proactive steps to minimise any possibility of modern slavery occurring.

Supplier Standards and Audits

We expect all suppliers and business partners to share our commitment to preventing modern slavery. As part of our approach to supplier management, we are committed to implementing the following measures:

We communicate our zero-tolerance stance and ethical expectations to existing and new suppliers. We conduct due diligence checks on new suppliers where appropriate, considering their policies, reputation, and practices relating to labour standards and human rights. We reserve the right to carry out audits or request evidence from suppliers to confirm compliance with relevant labour, employment, and human rights legislation. Where concerns are identified, we may conduct more detailed reviews, seek corrective action, or terminate relationships where issues are not effectively resolved.

We aim to build long-term relationships with suppliers who demonstrate transparency, ethical conduct, and a commitment to continuous improvement in labour practices.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Man with Van Enfield Wash encourages staff, subcontractors, and any other stakeholders to report any concerns they may have regarding modern slavery or unethical labour practices connected with our business or supply chains.

Reports can be made in person to a manager or senior representative of Man with Van Enfield Wash. Concerns will always be taken seriously and handled sensitively, with appropriate confidentiality. We do not tolerate victimisation or retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith.

All reports will be investigated promptly. Where evidence of modern slavery or related abuses is found, we will take immediate action, which may include reporting the matter to the relevant authorities and ending relationships with individuals or organisations involved.

Training and Awareness

We recognise that raising awareness is essential for identifying and preventing modern slavery. We seek to ensure that managers and key staff understand the indicators of exploitation and know how to raise and respond to concerns. As our business develops, we will continue to review our training needs and provide additional guidance or information where necessary.

Monitoring, Annual Review, and Continuous Improvement

This Modern Slavery Statement will be reviewed annually by the leadership of Man with Van Enfield Wash to ensure it remains accurate, effective, and aligned with our business activities and legal obligations. As part of the annual review, we will assess:

The effectiveness of our reporting channels and any issues raised during the year. The outcomes of supplier checks and audits, and any remedial actions taken. Changes in our operations or supply chains that may affect our risk profile. Opportunities to strengthen our policies, procedures, and training.

Through continuous monitoring and improvement, Man with Van Enfield Wash is committed to playing its part in the fight against modern slavery and ensuring that our services are delivered responsibly and ethically.

This statement has been approved by the management of Man with Van Enfield Wash and represents our ongoing commitment to uphold human rights and fair labour standards in all aspects of our business.
