Modern Slavery Statement — Greenwich Man with Van Commitment

Greenwich Man with Van and our wider team are committed to eradicating modern slavery and human trafficking from every aspect of our operations. This statement sets out how Greenwich man with van services operate with integrity, respect and vigilance. We recognise our responsibility as a local removal and transport provider to ensure that exploitation has no place within our business or supply chains, and we set a clear zero-tolerance approach to any form of forced labour.

Our zero-tolerance policy means that all staff, contractors and suppliers associated with the Greenwich removal service must act in accordance with the law and with our ethical standards. We require employees to report concerns, and we actively promote a culture where exploitation is neither concealed nor tolerated. The policy is communicated at recruitment, induction and through regular training sessions so that every member of the Man with Van Greenwich team understands expected behaviour and legal obligations.

To give effect to this position we operate a series of practical measures and controls. Key components include:

• Supplier selection criteria: vetting processes require evidence of lawful employment, transparent recruitment, and adherence to labour standards.
• Contractual clauses: contracts with partners and subcontractors incorporate clauses prohibiting modern slavery, with rights to audit and terminate for breach.
• Risk-based due diligence: ongoing checks target higher-risk suppliers and activities associated with logistics, warehousing and manual handling.

We operate a structured supplier audit programme to validate compliance across our supply chain. Audits for the Greenwich man & van network are scheduled and carried out by qualified staff or external auditors where needed. Auditing includes review of payroll records, worker contracts, recruitment practices and living conditions where relevant. Where audits identify issues, we take robust remedial action that may include corrective action plans, re-audits or termination of the relationship.

Our supplier audit framework emphasises transparency and continuous improvement. Audits combine desktop risk reviews, remote checks and on-site inspections in line with assessed risk levels. We also require suppliers to provide copies of policies, training records and grievance mechanisms so that all aspects of worker welfare are reviewed. The Greenwich moving company approach is to support suppliers to meet standards through capacity building as well as to enforce compliance where necessary.

To ensure concerns are raised and addressed promptly, we maintain clear reporting channels for staff, contractors and third parties. Reporting routes include a confidential internal hotline, an email reporting process and direct reporting to a nominated compliance lead. Our channels ensure anonymity where requested and protect whistleblowers from retaliation. The reporting structure is supplemented by an investigations process and documented corrective actions so that each man with van Greenwich case is handled with care and urgency.

We supplement policies and audits with training, awareness and worker engagement initiatives. All employees receive training on recognising signs of exploitation, safe recruitment practice and how to use reporting channels. We encourage a culture of vigilance across the Greenwich removal company and provide refresher training to managers and supervisors on risk indicators and remediation options.

Our commitment includes an annual review of our modern slavery practices. Each year the company reviews policy effectiveness, audit outcomes, reported incidents and remediation results. Findings inform updates to supplier standards, training content and risk assessments. The annual review is approved by senior management and used to set objectives for the following year, ensuring continuous improvement in our effort to prevent exploitation.

In conclusion, Greenwich Man with Van affirms its ongoing commitment to preventing modern slavery. We maintain a clear zero-tolerance policy, rigorous supplier audits, accessible reporting channels and a scheduled annual review to measure progress. Through these measures the Man with Van Greenwich operation seeks to protect workers, ensure lawful employment practices and maintain the highest ethical standards across all activities.
