Modern Slavery Statement for Man And Van Marylebone

Man And Van Marylebone is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. We recognise that modern slavery, including forced labour, human trafficking, debt bondage, child labour, and other forms of exploitation, remains a serious global concern. As a responsible man and van Marylebone service provider, we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any practice that may contribute to modern slavery within our operations or supply chain.

Our Modern Slavery Statement sets out the principles that guide our approach to ethical trading and responsible working practices. We expect everyone acting on behalf of Marylebone man and van operations to uphold lawful, fair, and humane standards. This commitment applies to employees, contractors, and business partners involved in transport, packing, handling, storage, and related services.

Our Commitment and Expectations

We take a risk-based approach to compliance and require suppliers to share our values. Any evidence of exploitation, coercion, withheld wages, unsafe accommodation, or deceptive recruitment practices will be treated as a serious breach. We will not knowingly work with suppliers that fail to meet acceptable ethical standards, and we reserve the right to terminate relationships where concerns are not resolved.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

Supplier due diligence is an essential part of our anti-slavery controls. Marylebone man with van arrangements, subcontracted services, and external vendors are assessed before engagement and reviewed periodically thereafter. Supplier audits may include document checks, labour practice reviews, verification of worker rights, and confirmation that recruitment fees are not charged to workers. Where appropriate, we request evidence of training, wage compliance, and identity verification processes.

If any supplier is identified as presenting elevated risk, additional scrutiny is applied. This may involve closer monitoring, corrective action plans, or suspension of work until concerns are addressed. We encourage open cooperation from all suppliers and expect them to maintain their own controls against modern slavery. Our procurement decisions are influenced not only by cost and efficiency, but also by ethical conduct and transparency.

We also support training for relevant team members so they can recognise warning signs, including restricted movement, intimidation, unexplained deductions, or workers who appear unable to speak freely about their conditions. Strengthening awareness helps the Man And Van Marylebone business respond quickly and responsibly when issues arise.

Reporting Channels and Response

Everyone connected with our operations has a responsibility to report concerns in good faith. Reporting channels are available for employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders to raise suspicions of exploitation, unsafe practices, or breaches of this statement. Concerns may be raised through internal management routes, and all reports will be handled sensitively, confidentially where possible, and without retaliation.

We encourage prompt reporting because early action can reduce harm and improve outcomes for vulnerable individuals. Allegations are investigated carefully, and any verified breach may result in disciplinary action, contract review, or referral to the appropriate authorities. The Marylebone man and van team is expected to cooperate fully with investigations and to support remediation where it is safe and lawful to do so.

Our zero-tolerance policy is central to every decision we make. We do not accept ignorance as an excuse for poor labour standards, and we expect the same level of vigilance from our suppliers. This approach reinforces our position as a trusted man and van Marylebone provider that values people, compliance, and dignity.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement will be reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with legal requirements and best practice. The review will consider any incidents reported, the results of supplier audits, changes in risk exposure, and improvements needed in training or governance. Actions arising from the annual review will be tracked to completion.

Man And Van Marylebone is committed to continuous improvement in ethical business conduct. By maintaining strong oversight, clear reporting channels, and robust supplier audits, we aim to prevent modern slavery from occurring in any part of our operations. Our promise is simple: to operate responsibly, protect human rights, and uphold the highest standards expected of a modern Marylebone man with van service.
