Man And A Van Greenwich is committed to conducting business with integrity, dignity, and respect for human rights. This statement sets out our zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, servitude, and all forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chain.

We recognise that modern slavery can occur in many industries and may be hidden behind complex labour arrangements. As a responsible Man and Van Greenwich service provider, we aim to identify and prevent risks through clear policies, training, oversight, and ongoing accountability. Our commitment applies to employees, contractors, and all suppliers who support our work.

Our business principles are simple: treat people fairly, pay lawfully, and never knowingly engage with any party involved in abuse or coercion. Any indication of exploitation is treated seriously and investigated promptly. This statement reflects our expectation that ethical conduct is essential to long-term trust and operational excellence.

We maintain due diligence procedures designed to reduce the risk of modern slavery in our operations. Before onboarding suppliers, we assess their labour practices, business reputation, and compliance history. Where needed, we request confirmation of lawful working arrangements and appropriate employment standards.

Supplier management is an important part of our approach. Supplier audits may include document checks, worker welfare reviews, subcontractor verification, and periodic reassessments. These audits are proportionate to risk and may be increased when we identify warning signs such as unusual payment structures, excessive subcontracting, or poor record keeping.

In the middle of our policy framework, we reinforce that our procurement choices must never support exploitation. If a supplier fails to meet acceptable standards, we will require corrective action, pause engagement, or end the relationship where necessary. We prefer improvement, but we will not compromise on human rights.

All staff are encouraged to remain alert to indicators of modern slavery, including restricted movement, withheld wages, unsafe accommodation, intimidation, and inability to leave work freely. Training is provided so that team members can recognise risks and understand the steps to take when concerns arise. This ensures that vigilance is embedded throughout the organisation.

We provide multiple reporting channels so that concerns can be raised safely and without fear of retaliation. Reports may be made through line management, senior leadership, or designated internal escalation routes. Concerns are handled confidentially, and where appropriate, external authorities may be informed. We take every report seriously and act swiftly to protect potential victims.

Where a concern is raised, we assess the information carefully, document findings, and decide on proportionate action. This may include deeper checks, supplier engagement, corrective measures, or suspension of business activity. Retaliation is not tolerated, and anyone raising a genuine concern in good faith will be supported throughout the process.

Our governance structure ensures that responsibility for tackling modern slavery sits at leadership level. Senior management reviews risk areas, approves policy updates, and oversees compliance with this statement. This approach helps us keep anti-slavery controls practical, visible, and consistent across the organisation.

We are also committed to continuous improvement. Changes in regulation, market conditions, and supplier profiles can affect exposure to risk, so our controls are reviewed and adapted as needed. Annual review of this statement and related procedures is an essential safeguard, allowing us to strengthen our response and keep our commitments current.

Each year, Man And A Van Greenwich evaluates the effectiveness of its policies, audits, training, and reporting arrangements. The review considers incidents, supplier performance, and any lessons learned from investigations. This helps ensure that our zero-tolerance position remains active, measurable, and aligned with responsible business practice. Through these measures, Man and Van Greenwich reaffirms its determination to help prevent modern slavery in every part of its work.
