Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement

This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement sets out the steps that Man and Van Knightsbridge has taken, and continues to take, to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking occurring within our business and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to uphold human rights and to act ethically in all areas of our operations, including transport, logistics, and associated services.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

Man and Van Knightsbridge maintains a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking. We oppose all forms of forced labour, servitude, child labour, debt bondage, and exploitation. Our commitment applies to everyone who works for or with us, including employees, contractors, agency workers, and suppliers.

We expect all individuals and organisations connected with our business to share this commitment. Any evidence or substantiated concern that a party in our supply chain is involved in modern slavery will result in decisive action, which may include suspension of work, termination of contracts, and reporting to the relevant authorities.

Our Business and Supply Chains

Man and Van Knightsbridge provides man and van and related moving services. Our supply chains include vehicle hire and maintenance providers, fuel suppliers, equipment and packaging providers, recruitment partners, and facilities and service contractors.

We recognise that certain areas of the logistics and labour supply sectors may present higher risks of labour exploitation, particularly where temporary or migrant labour is used. We actively work to identify, assess, and mitigate those risks through careful selection and monitoring of our suppliers and business partners.

Supplier Standards and Audits

We expect all suppliers and contractors to comply with applicable labour, employment, and human rights laws. We require them to prohibit forced labour, child labour, and any form of exploitation in their own operations and in their supply chains.

As part of our due diligence process, we assess key suppliers based on their employment practices, worker protections, and transparency. Where appropriate, we conduct audits or request evidence of compliance, such as policies, training records, or statements on modern slavery. Suppliers that are unable or unwilling to demonstrate adequate controls and standards may not be engaged or may be removed from our approved supplier list.

We reserve the right to conduct follow up checks and further audits where concerns are identified, and we may require suppliers to implement remedial action plans within clearly defined timeframes.

Training, Awareness, and Reporting Channels

We provide guidance and awareness-raising for managers and staff involved in recruitment, procurement, and day-to-day operations so that they can recognise signs of modern slavery and know how to respond. Training covers indicators of exploitation, responsible recruitment, and the process for escalating concerns.

All personnel are encouraged to speak up if they suspect that modern slavery may be occurring in any part of our business or our supply chain. Concerns can be raised confidentially through internal management channels or via designated reporting routes within the company. We do not tolerate victimisation of any person who raises a concern in good faith.

Every report or concern is taken seriously and investigated promptly. Where there is a reasonable suspicion of criminal activity, we will consider notification to law enforcement or other competent authorities, and we will cooperate fully with any subsequent investigations.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

We recognise that tackling modern slavery is an ongoing process and that our approach must continually evolve. We regularly review our risk assessments, policies, and supplier management procedures to enhance protections for workers and to strengthen transparency in our supply chain.

This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement is reviewed at least annually by the leadership of Man and Van Knightsbridge. The review considers any incidents reported, changes in legislation, industry guidance, and feedback from stakeholders. Where necessary, we update our procedures, contracts, and training to reflect emerging best practice and to ensure our zero-tolerance stance is effectively implemented.

By maintaining clear standards, robust due diligence, and accessible reporting channels, Man and Van Knightsbridge aims to play an active role in preventing modern slavery and human trafficking and in promoting safe and fair working conditions for all those connected with our services.
