Man with Van Brompton Modern Slavery Statement

Man with Van Brompton is committed to conducting all aspects of its operations in an ethical and responsible manner. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our own business and throughout our supply chains. It applies to all employees, agency staff, contractors, and suppliers engaged with our services.

Our Zero-Tolerance Policy

We operate a strict zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. This means we will not knowingly engage with any individual, organisation, or supplier involved in forced labour, servitude, child labour, or any practice that exploits vulnerable people. Any suspicion or evidence of such practices will result in immediate investigation and may lead to the termination of relationships or contracts.

Our leadership team is responsible for promoting a culture where respect for human rights is fundamental. Managers at all levels are required to ensure that this policy is communicated clearly and consistently, and that it is integrated into both operational and strategic decision-making.

Our Business and Supply Chain

Man with Van Brompton provides transport, removal, and associated services. Our supply chain includes vehicle providers, fuel and equipment suppliers, subcontracted drivers and loaders, cleaning and maintenance services, and office-related goods and services. While our sector is not typically considered high risk, we recognise that no supply chain is entirely free from the potential for exploitation.

We expect high standards of integrity from every party that supports our operations. Suppliers and subcontractors are expected to uphold the same human rights principles that we apply within our own business.

Supplier Standards and Audits

We require suppliers and subcontractors to confirm that they do not engage in, support, or tolerate modern slavery or human trafficking. Before entering into or renewing a contractual relationship, we assess suppliers on their labour practices, recruitment processes, and general approach to ethical conduct.

We reserve the right to carry out audits or request evidence from suppliers to verify compliance with our standards. This may include reviewing policies, training records, and information about recruitment agencies or labour intermediaries used by the supplier. Where appropriate, we may visit supplier premises to inspect working conditions and verify that workers are treated with dignity and respect.

If any non-compliance is identified, we will work with the supplier to agree corrective actions and timeframes. Failure to implement adequate improvements, or any serious breach of our standards, may result in the termination of the business relationship.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We encourage all employees, contractors, and suppliers to raise concerns about possible modern slavery in any part of our business or supply chain. Concerns may relate to recruitment practices, working conditions, treatment of workers, or any other indicator of exploitation.

Reports can be made verbally to a manager, in writing to senior management, or through any internal reporting channel made available by the company. All concerns raised in good faith will be taken seriously, investigated promptly, and handled as confidentially as possible.

We will not tolerate any form of victimisation or retaliation against individuals who speak up about suspected modern slavery. Disciplinary action may be taken against anyone who harasses, intimidates, or penalises a person for making a report or assisting with an investigation.

Training and Awareness

We provide appropriate training and guidance to employees, particularly those involved in recruitment, supplier management, and on-site operations. Training covers the nature of modern slavery, common warning signs, and the process for reporting concerns.

We also encourage key suppliers and subcontractors to raise awareness among their own staff and to implement policies and training that align with our expectations.

Monitoring, Review, and Continuous Improvement

Man with Van Brompton is committed to the continuous improvement of its approach to tackling modern slavery. We monitor the effectiveness of our measures by reviewing reported concerns, audit findings, supplier feedback, and changes in legal or industry best practice.

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually by our leadership team to ensure it remains current, effective, and aligned with our operational realities. Where necessary, we update our policies, procedures, and training to address emerging risks or to strengthen our controls.

By publishing this statement, Man with Van Brompton reaffirms its commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking, both within our own operations and across our supply chains, and to fostering a culture of respect, transparency, and accountability.
