Modern Slavery Statement for Man And Van Finchley

Man And Van Finchley 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 within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that businesses in the removals and transport sector may face exposure to labour exploitation through subcontracting, labour provision, and goods sourcing, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of abuse or coercion.

Our approach is built on clear governance, accountability, and continuous improvement. We expect every employee, contractor, and supplier associated with Man And Van Finchley to uphold lawful, ethical, and professional standards. Where concerns arise, they are treated seriously and investigated promptly. We aim to create a culture in which human dignity is protected and any risk of exploitation is identified early.

As part of our commitment, we require supplier audits and periodic reviews of third-party relationships. These checks help us assess working practices, labour conditions, documentation, and compliance with relevant laws. Man and Van Finchley reviews new and existing suppliers to ensure they meet our expectations regarding fair recruitment, safe working arrangements, and responsible subcontracting.

We also maintain reporting channels that allow concerns to be raised without fear of retaliation. Any individual who suspects unethical conduct, unsafe labour practices, or possible modern slavery may report it through internal management routes, and all reports are handled confidentially where possible. Reports are assessed carefully, documented, and escalated if needed so that appropriate corrective action can be taken. Our man and van Finchley team understands that early reporting is essential to preventing harm.

Training and awareness are important parts of our prevention strategy. Staff involved in hiring, procurement, and supplier management are expected to understand the signs of exploitation, including excessive working hours, withheld documents, unusual control over workers, or inconsistencies in employment records. By strengthening awareness across the business, Man And Van Finchley reduces the likelihood that abusive practices go unnoticed.

Our due diligence process includes checks proportionate to the nature of the supplier relationship. For higher-risk suppliers, we may request additional assurances, evidence of lawful employment practices, or confirmation of subcontractor oversight. Where issues are identified, we seek immediate remediation and, if necessary, disengage from the relationship. This firm stance supports our zero-tolerance policy and reinforces our expectation that all partners work ethically and transparently.

We recognise that modern slavery can take many forms and may exist beyond direct employment relationships. Therefore, Man and Van Finchley remains alert to indirect risks in the sourcing of vehicles, equipment, packaging, and support services. We aim to work with organisations that share our values and can demonstrate responsible labour management.

To keep this statement effective, we complete an annual review of our policies, supplier checks, reporting arrangements, and training needs. This review considers legal developments, operational changes, and any incidents or concerns raised during the year. Findings from the review are used to improve controls, strengthen oversight, and update procedures where necessary. The review also ensures that Man And Van Finchley continues to adapt its approach to emerging risks.

This statement reflects our ongoing commitment to preventing modern slavery in every aspect of our business. We believe that responsible practice requires vigilance, transparency, and action. By maintaining strong supplier audits, accessible reporting channels, a clear zero-tolerance policy, and a regular annual review, Man And Van Finchley works to uphold human rights and promote ethical business conduct across its operations and supply chain.
