Modern Slavery Statement for Man And Van Marylebone

Man And Van Marylebone is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with full respect for human rights. We recognise that modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and exploitation can occur in many sectors and supply chains, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any such practices. This statement sets out the measures taken by Marylebone Man And Van to prevent, detect, and respond to modern slavery risks across our operations.

As a provider of moving and transport services, Man And Van Marylebone works with people, subcontractors, and suppliers who support our day-to-day activity. We expect every individual and organisation associated with Marylebone Man And Van services to uphold lawful employment practices, fair treatment, safe working conditions, and transparent recruitment. Our commitment applies to all parts of the business, including recruitment, vehicle support, logistics arrangements, and outsourced services.

We acknowledge that risks may arise in labour supply chains, especially where there is pressure to reduce costs or meet urgent deadlines. For this reason, Man And Van Marylebone has introduced controls designed to identify warning signs early. These include right-to-work checks, clear onboarding expectations, wage and working-hour oversight, and a requirement that all workers be engaged freely and without coercion. Any breach of this standard is treated as a serious matter.

Supplier audits are a core part of our due diligence approach. Marylebone Man And Van assesses suppliers and subcontractors before engagement and periodically during the relationship. Audits may include document reviews, confirmation of labour practices, checks on ownership and trading arrangements, and, where necessary, site visits or further enquiries. We expect suppliers to demonstrate that they share our values and can evidence lawful, ethical, and transparent employment practices.

When a supplier is unable to meet our standards, we require corrective action within a defined timeframe. If concerns are not resolved, we may suspend or end the relationship. This approach helps Man And Van Marylebone reduce exposure to hidden labour abuse and reinforces the message that ethical conduct is a condition of doing business with us. Our procurement decisions are therefore informed by compliance, not price alone.

We also maintain clear reporting channels so that concerns can be raised safely and promptly. Workers, suppliers, and other relevant parties are encouraged to report suspected exploitation, unsafe labour conditions, or any sign of coercion through internal management routes. Reports are handled confidentially and reviewed without retaliation. Marylebone Man And Van treats whistleblowing as an important safeguard that helps us respond before harm escalates.

If a concern is raised, it is investigated promptly and proportionately. Where appropriate, we work with affected parties to understand the issue, preserve evidence, and implement corrective measures. In serious cases, the matter may lead to contract termination or escalation to the relevant authorities. The aim of Man And Van Marylebone is not only compliance, but active prevention through vigilance, accountability, and respect for human dignity.

Training and awareness also support our anti-slavery commitments. Managers involved in recruitment, supplier management, and operational oversight are expected to understand the signs of exploitation and know how to act on them. Marylebone Man And Van regularly reminds teams that ethical employment practices are part of quality service delivery and that failure to observe these standards is unacceptable.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, current, and aligned with legal requirements and operational changes. The annual review considers supplier audit results, reported concerns, remedial actions, and any emerging risks in our work. Through continuous improvement, Man And Van Marylebone aims to strengthen safeguards year after year and maintain a business culture that rejects modern slavery in all its forms.
