Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Holland Park
Man With Van Holland Park is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We recognise that Man With Van Holland Park has a responsibility to identify risks, act promptly, and uphold a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of exploitation.
As a moving and transport service provider, our activities involve employees, subcontractors, suppliers, and third-party partners. We understand that risk may arise in sectors where labour is highly mobile, tasks are time-sensitive, or services are delivered through multiple layers of outsourcing. For that reason, the Man With Van Holland Park modern slavery policy is designed to address risk proactively and to ensure ethical standards are embedded in everyday decision-making.
We do not accept any practice that uses coercion, deception, debt bondage, withheld wages, identity document retention, or restricted movement. Any allegation or concern is treated seriously and investigated without delay. Our approach is guided by the belief that lawful business must also be responsible business, and that human dignity is non-negotiable in every part of our supply chain.
Our Zero-Tolerance Policy
We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for modern slavery in all forms. This applies to recruitment, onboarding, subcontracting, warehousing support, transport services, and any labour arrangement associated with our operations. No manager, contractor, or supplier may engage in practices that exploit vulnerable people or undermine their freedom of choice.
To support this policy, Man With Van Holland Park carries out risk-based due diligence when selecting suppliers and partners. We expect all suppliers to comply with applicable labour laws, provide safe working conditions, and ensure workers are employed voluntarily. Where risk indicators are identified, we require corrective action plans, enhanced monitoring, or termination of the relationship if standards are not met.
Supplier audits are an important part of our prevention framework. Audits may include document reviews, checks on wage records, assessments of working hours, verification of right-to-work procedures, and confirmation that workers retain control of their personal documents. These audits are conducted periodically and may be increased where a supplier operates in a higher-risk environment or fails to meet expected standards.
Reporting, Oversight, and Continuous Improvement
We encourage all workers, contractors, and suppliers to report concerns as soon as they arise. Our reporting channels are designed to allow concerns to be raised safely and in good faith, including anonymous reporting where appropriate. Any report relating to possible exploitation, coercion, or unethical labour practices is reviewed promptly by designated management personnel and escalated when necessary.
We make clear that retaliation against anyone who raises a concern will not be tolerated. This includes intimidation, dismissal, reduced hours, or any negative treatment connected to a report. By supporting open reporting, we aim to create a culture in which suspected abuse can be identified early and addressed effectively.
Training is provided to relevant staff so they can recognise warning signs such as unusually restricted worker movement, inconsistent pay records, unsafe accommodation arrangements, or reluctance by workers to speak freely. Awareness is a practical safeguard, and it helps ensure that modern slavery risks are detected before they become embedded.
Annual Review and Governance
This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with current legal obligations and operational risks. The review considers supplier audit findings, incident reports, staff training completion, due diligence outcomes, and any changes in our business model or supply chain structure. Where improvements are needed, we update our controls and assign responsibility for action.
Man With Van Holland Park recognises that combating modern slavery is an ongoing duty rather than a one-time exercise. We therefore seek continuous improvement through stronger supplier screening, better internal awareness, and more robust oversight of outsourced services. Our commitment is not limited to compliance; it reflects our values and our expectation that every person involved in our work is treated fairly, lawfully, and with respect.
By maintaining vigilance, strengthening supplier audits, and keeping reporting channels accessible, Man With Van Holland Park aims to prevent exploitation and support ethical business practices across all operations. This modern slavery statement confirms our dedication to safeguarding people and ensuring that our services are delivered without abuse, coercion, or hidden labour exploitation.
