Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Tootingbec

Man With Van Tootingbec is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the principles and actions we apply to help prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can affect many sectors, including transport, logistics, and support services, and we take a zero-tolerance approach to any form of exploitation.

As part of our commitment, we expect all workers, contractors, and suppliers to uphold the same standards. Every relationship we maintain should reflect lawful, ethical, and responsible practice. We continue to strengthen our policies and procedures so that Man With Van Tootingbec remains vigilant in identifying risks and responding appropriately.

Our statement applies to all areas of the business, including hiring, subcontracting, procurement, and operational support. We will not knowingly work with any organisation that benefits from or contributes to modern slavery. This position is embedded in our decision-making and reinforced through training, due diligence, and regular oversight.

To reduce risk across our supply chain, Man With Van Tootingbec carries out supplier assessments and periodic audits. These reviews consider employment practices, payroll controls, subcontractor management, and evidence of legal compliance. Where concerns arise, we require corrective action and monitor progress closely.

Our supplier standards are based on respect, transparency, and accountability. We expect suppliers to maintain accurate records, ensure workers are employed voluntarily, and prohibit the use of child labour, debt bondage, or intimidation. Modern slavery is incompatible with our business values, and any breach may lead to suspension or termination of the relationship.

We also review new and existing suppliers using a risk-based approach. Higher-risk arrangements may involve additional checks, document verification, and deeper scrutiny of labour practices. This helps us protect the integrity of the Man With Van Tootingbec supply chain while encouraging responsible business conduct.

Reporting concerns is essential to the effectiveness of this statement. Any employee, contractor, or supplier who suspects exploitation or unsafe labour practices is encouraged to raise the issue promptly through the appropriate internal reporting channels. Concerns are treated seriously, investigated discreetly, and handled with care.

We aim to create a culture where people feel safe speaking up. Retaliation against anyone who reports a concern in good faith will not be tolerated. Confidentiality is respected wherever possible, and findings may lead to remediation, corrective measures, or referral to the relevant authorities if required.

Awareness is supported through internal communication and targeted training so that relevant teams can identify warning signs such as restricted movement, withheld wages, unusual recruitment fees, or signs of coercion. By strengthening understanding, Man With Van Tootingbec improves its ability to prevent exploitation before it occurs.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, current, and aligned with legal and ethical expectations. The annual review allows us to assess emerging risks, update supplier controls, and refine internal procedures where needed. We also consider any incidents, audit findings, or changes in business structure that may influence our approach.

Continuous improvement is central to our commitment. We measure our progress by evaluating the quality of supplier due diligence, the responsiveness of reporting processes, and the consistency of our internal controls. Where gaps are identified, we act to strengthen our response.

Man With Van Tootingbec will continue to promote a workplace and supply chain that respect human dignity. Through a zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, clear reporting channels, and annual review, we aim to uphold high standards and prevent modern slavery in every part of our operations.
