We recognise our responsibility to help prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms, both within our own operations and throughout our supply chains. This statement sets out the steps we are taking to identify, prevent, and address the risks of modern slavery in connection with our services.
Modern slavery is a severe violation of fundamental human rights. It includes slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, debt bondage, and human trafficking. We are fully committed to acting with integrity and transparency in all business dealings and to implementing effective systems and controls to ensure that modern slavery does not take place.
Zero-Tolerance Approach
Man with Van Tottenham Green has a clear zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. We do not accept any form of forced, compulsory, or exploitative labour in our business or supply chain. This applies to all workers, whether employed directly or indirectly through subcontractors or other third parties.
All individuals working on behalf of Man with Van Tottenham Green, including managers, employees, agency workers, contractors, and other partners, are expected to uphold this commitment. Any breach of this policy is treated as a serious matter and may result in disciplinary action, termination of contracts, or notification to the appropriate authorities where necessary.
Supply Chain Standards and Supplier Audits
Our supply chain includes providers of vehicles, fuel, equipment, storage facilities, and ancillary services necessary to deliver our man and van operations. We expect all suppliers, subcontractors, and other business partners to share our ethical standards and to comply with all applicable laws related to labour, working conditions, and human rights.
Man with Van Tottenham Green is developing and maintaining processes to review and monitor supplier practices. Where proportionate to the risk and scale of the relationship, we may carry out supplier assessments or audits. These can include requesting information on labour practices, carrying out site visits where feasible, and reviewing policies on working hours, recruitment, and worker welfare.
We seek to work only with suppliers who demonstrate a clear commitment to preventing modern slavery. Where concerns are identified, we may require corrective action, increased monitoring, or, where appropriate, bring the relationship to an end.
Reporting Concerns and Whistleblowing
We encourage anyone connected with Man with Van Tottenham Green, including workers, suppliers, and customers, to report any concerns relating to modern slavery or unethical labour practices. Concerns may include suspected forced labour, exploitation, unsafe or degrading working conditions, or recruitment practices that appear coercive or deceptive.
Reports can be made through our normal management channels or by speaking directly to a senior member of the business. Individuals are encouraged to raise issues as early as possible so that we can investigate swiftly and take appropriate action. We will not tolerate any form of victimisation against anyone who reports a concern in good faith.
Training, Awareness, and Responsibilities
Responsibility for our modern slavery commitments is shared across the organisation. Senior management is responsible for overseeing the implementation of this statement and ensuring that appropriate procedures are in place. Managers are expected to promote awareness of modern slavery risks and to respond promptly to any concerns raised.
Where relevant to their roles, staff receive guidance on recognising signs of exploitation, understanding our zero-tolerance position, and knowing how to escalate concerns. We aim to embed respect for human rights into our day-to-day decision making, including when selecting suppliers, allocating work, and managing teams.
Monitoring and Annual Review
Man with Van Tottenham Green is committed to continual improvement in our approach to tackling modern slavery. We will review this statement and our related processes at least once every year, or more frequently if there are significant changes to our business activities or legal requirements.
The annual review will consider any identified risks, reports or investigations carried out, effectiveness of supplier checks, and feedback from staff and stakeholders. Where areas for improvement are identified, we will update our procedures, strengthen controls, and, where relevant, provide additional training or guidance.
This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement reflects our ongoing commitment to respectful, fair, and lawful treatment of all people who contribute to the delivery of our services at Man with Van Tottenham Green.
