Modern Slavery Statement for Man With A Van Hounslow

Man With A Van Hounslow is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the principles and actions that guide our operations and our relationships with partners, suppliers, and contractors. We recognise that modern slavery, including forced labour, servitude, human trafficking, and child labour, is a grave violation of human dignity and must never be tolerated in any part of our business.

Our zero-tolerance policy applies across all activities connected to Man With A Van Hounslow. We expect every person working on our behalf to uphold ethical standards and to act with integrity. To support this commitment, we require clear evidence that workers are employed freely, are paid lawfully, and are not subjected to coercion, exploitation, or abuse. This approach is embedded in our internal processes and is reinforced through regular communication with our team and business partners.

We also expect suppliers and subcontractors to share our commitment. Before entering into new arrangements, we seek assurances that labour practices comply with relevant laws and that any risk of exploitation is identified early. Where concerns arise, we investigate promptly and take appropriate action, which may include corrective measures, suspension, or ending the relationship if standards are not met.

Supplier due diligence is a key part of our approach. We conduct supplier audits and reviews proportionate to risk, focusing on employment practices, payroll controls, recruitment methods, and the treatment of workers. These assessments help us understand whether a supplier has effective safeguards in place and whether there are any indicators of modern slavery. We expect suppliers to maintain accurate records and to cooperate fully during reviews.

Our procurement decisions consider ethical conduct alongside service quality and reliability. If a supplier operates in a higher-risk sector or geography, we apply additional scrutiny. This may include requesting policies, checking workforce arrangements, and confirming that subcontracting is controlled and transparent. We believe that active monitoring strengthens our Man With A Van Hounslow supply chain and reduces the possibility of abuse.

Any reported or suspected issue is treated seriously and confidentially. We encourage workers, suppliers, and others connected to our business to use our reporting channels to raise concerns without fear of retaliation. Matters may be reported through management, supervisory staff, or formal internal escalation routes. All concerns are assessed promptly, and where necessary, we work with relevant parties to protect affected individuals and prevent further harm.

Training and awareness are important parts of prevention. We aim to ensure that those involved in hiring, procurement, and supplier oversight understand the risks of modern slavery and know how to identify warning signs. This helps us create a culture in which ethical conduct is expected, supported, and reviewed regularly. Our van service in Hounslow is built on responsible business practice, not just operational performance.

We recognise that modern slavery risks can change over time, especially as markets, subcontracting arrangements, and labour conditions evolve. For this reason, our statement and supporting controls are reviewed annually. The annual review considers incidents, audit findings, supplier performance, legal developments, and improvements needed in our policies or procedures. Where appropriate, we strengthen our controls and update our practices to reflect emerging risks.

This statement represents our ongoing commitment to ethical trade, respect for human rights, and continuous improvement. Man With A Van Hounslow will continue to work diligently to prevent modern slavery in its operations and supply chain, ensuring that our business remains accountable, responsible, and aligned with the highest standards of conduct.
