Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Emersonpark
Man With Van Emersonpark is committed to conducting business responsibly, ethically, and with respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps taken to prevent forced labour, servitude, human trafficking, and other forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chains. Our approach is founded on a zero-tolerance policy, meaning that any evidence or suspicion of modern slavery is treated as a serious breach of our standards.
We recognise that the risk of exploitation can exist in any sector, including transport, removals, storage, and subcontracted services. For this reason, Man With Van Emersonpark reviews supplier relationships carefully and expects all partners to uphold the same values. We require suppliers, contractors, and service providers to confirm that they comply with relevant labour laws, maintain fair working conditions, and prohibit any use of coerced, forced, or child labour. Our commitment is clear: a safe, lawful, and dignified working environment must be protected at all stages.
As part of our due diligence, the Man With Van Emersonpark modern slavery statement includes supplier audits designed to identify potential risks. These audits may involve document checks, workforce verification, and assessments of recruitment practices, wages, and subcontracting arrangements. Where concerns are identified, we investigate promptly and require corrective action. If a supplier cannot demonstrate acceptable standards, we may suspend or end the relationship. We also monitor high-risk areas more closely, ensuring that our controls remain practical and effective.
Our zero-tolerance approach is supported by internal policies, staff awareness, and clear reporting channels. Employees and contractors are encouraged to report any concern, no matter how small, if they suspect exploitation, unsafe labour practices, or unusual recruitment activity. Reports can be made through management routes, confidential internal procedures, or designated safeguarding processes. Every report is taken seriously, and confidentiality is respected as far as possible. Retaliation against anyone raising a genuine concern is not accepted under any circumstances.
Training is an important part of prevention. Team members are made aware of the indicators of modern slavery, including restricted movement, wage withholding, identity document retention, and signs of intimidation. This helps ensure that people working for or alongside Man With Van Emersonpark can recognise risks early and act responsibly. In addition, managers are expected to apply due diligence when onboarding suppliers or assigning work, especially where labour is sourced through intermediaries or temporary arrangements.
We also understand that prevention requires continuous improvement. The Man With Van Emersonpark modern slavery policy is reviewed alongside procurement, recruitment, and compliance procedures to make sure our controls stay relevant. Where modern slavery risks are linked to a particular supplier, region, or work activity, we adapt our oversight accordingly. This includes asking for further evidence, improving contract terms, or introducing additional checks. Our aim is not only to respond to concerns, but to reduce the likelihood of exploitation occurring in the first place.
To support accountability, senior management is responsible for overseeing our response to modern slavery risks. They review incidents, audit findings, and supplier performance, ensuring that decisions are based on evidence and aligned with our ethical standards. If a violation is confirmed, remedial action may include training, corrective plans, increased monitoring, or contract termination. We believe that strong governance is essential to protecting vulnerable workers and maintaining trust across our business relationships.
This statement is reviewed annually to reflect changes in legislation, business activities, and risk exposure. The annual review allows Man With Van Emersonpark to measure progress, strengthen supplier audits, and improve reporting channels where needed. Each review also considers whether staff training, procurement controls, and escalation procedures remain effective. By revisiting our approach every year, we ensure our commitment to preventing modern slavery remains active, current, and meaningful.
