Man With Van Lambeth is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitative practices across our operations and supply chains. We recognise that even a local moving and transport service must remain vigilant, because risk can exist in subcontracting, recruitment, and the sourcing of goods and services. Our zero-tolerance policy is clear: any form of slavery or exploitation is unacceptable in the Man With Van Lambeth business or in any relationship linked to it.

We are committed to ensuring that our staff, suppliers, and partners understand that compliance is not optional. Every employee involved in procurement, logistics, or supplier management is expected to act responsibly and to identify warning signs such as restricted movement, withheld wages, debt bondage, or coercion. The Man With Van Lambeth approach is based on prevention, awareness, and prompt action. We expect suppliers to share the same values and to operate in line with applicable labour, employment, and human rights laws.

As part of our risk management process, we carry out supplier audits and due diligence checks proportionate to the nature of the relationship. These reviews may include assessing labour practices, verifying business registrations, examining subcontracting arrangements, and requesting evidence of compliance with ethical employment standards. Where higher-risk indicators are identified, Man With Van Lambeth may require corrective action plans, additional documentation, or a decision to end the relationship if concerns are not resolved. Supplier audits help us maintain visibility across the supply chain and reinforce our commitment to ethical operations.

We also provide clear reporting channels so that concerns can be raised safely and without fear of retaliation. Any worker, contractor, or supplier representative who suspects modern slavery, unsafe labour practices, or exploitation is encouraged to report it immediately through internal management routes. Reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled with discretion. Where required, matters may be escalated to the appropriate authorities. Man With Van Lambeth does not tolerate victimisation of anyone who raises a genuine concern in good faith.

Training is an important part of our prevention strategy. Relevant team members receive guidance on recognising signs of modern slavery, understanding reporting responsibilities, and applying ethical standards when selecting or reviewing suppliers. We believe that informed staff are better able to protect vulnerable individuals and uphold the reputation of Man With Van Lambeth. In addition, we aim to embed responsible behaviour into everyday decision-making so that human rights remain central to our operations. Our policies are reviewed to ensure they remain practical, effective, and aligned with current legal expectations.

We expect our suppliers to maintain accurate records, pay workers lawfully and on time, and avoid any practices that could conceal exploitation. Where third parties are engaged, we ask for transparency over labour sourcing and subcontracting. If a supplier fails to cooperate or is found to be in breach of our standards, Man With Van Lambeth may suspend work, request remediation, or terminate the relationship. This measured but firm approach supports our zero-tolerance policy while encouraging improvement where it is possible and appropriate.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective and reflects changes in our business, risk profile, and legal duties. The annual review considers supplier audit results, incidents reported through our channels, and any improvements made to policies or training. Where necessary, we update our controls to strengthen prevention and response measures. The review process is an essential part of maintaining accountability across Man With Van Lambeth and ensuring that our commitment is not merely symbolic.

Man With Van Lambeth believes that ethical trading protects people, supports trust, and strengthens long-term business resilience. By maintaining a robust modern slavery framework, using supplier audits, promoting accessible reporting channels, and completing an annual review, we aim to reduce risk and uphold human dignity throughout our operations. This statement reflects our ongoing responsibility to act with care, diligence, and respect in every part of the Man With Van Lambeth service model.
