Modern Slavery Statement for Man And Van Primrosehill
Man And Van Primrosehill is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with full respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and all forms of exploitation. We recognise that even businesses operating in local removal and transport services must remain alert to risks within operations, subcontracting, and supply chains.
Our approach applies to every area of the business, including hiring, scheduling, procurement, vehicle maintenance, and the selection of suppliers and partners. We expect all employees, contractors, and suppliers to act with integrity and to comply with applicable labour laws. Modern slavery has no place in the work of Man And Van Primrosehill, and we are committed to preventing it through clear standards and ongoing oversight.
We also expect our business relationships to reflect the same principles. Any indication of exploitation, coercion, withheld wages, debt bondage, or unsafe working conditions is treated as a serious concern. By maintaining high standards and transparent practices, Man And Van Primrosehill seeks to support a fairer and more accountable supply chain.
Our internal controls include due diligence checks when engaging new suppliers and service providers. We assess relevant risk factors such as labour practices, the use of subcontractors, and the geography or sector in which a supplier operates. Where appropriate, we request evidence of policies, worker protections, and compliance procedures. Supplier audits may be conducted to confirm that agreed standards are being followed and that no form of modern slavery is present.
These audits may involve document reviews, questions about recruitment and wage practices, and confirmation that workers are free to leave employment without penalty. If a supplier is unable or unwilling to meet our requirements, we will seek corrective action or end the relationship where necessary. This process helps ensure that the standards of Man And Van Primrosehill are embedded beyond our immediate operations.
We also provide training and internal guidance so that relevant staff can identify warning signs such as restricted movement, unusual payment arrangements, or signs of intimidation. Awareness is essential in a business that depends on trust, coordination, and third-party services. Through these measures, the Man And Van Primrosehill statement reflects active prevention rather than passive compliance.
Reporting concerns is a core part of our ethical framework. Reporting channels are available for employees, contractors, and suppliers to raise concerns confidentially and without fear of retaliation. Any report of suspected modern slavery, exploitation, or non-compliance is taken seriously and reviewed promptly. We encourage early reporting so that issues can be investigated and addressed before harm escalates.
Concerns may include the treatment of workers in our supply chain, suspicious recruitment practices, or evidence that a person is being controlled, threatened, or deprived of fair pay. All allegations are handled sensitively and in line with our commitment to fairness and confidentiality. Where needed, we will cooperate with relevant authorities and take immediate steps to reduce risk.
This statement is reviewed as part of our broader governance arrangements, and responsibility for oversight sits with management. We believe that effective action depends on continuous vigilance, clear accountability, and measurable improvement. Man And Van Primrosehill aims to uphold these principles in every transaction and partnership.
An annual review ensures that this statement remains current and effective. Each year, we assess our policies, supplier checks, audit findings, and reporting activity to identify improvements and emerging risks. The review may lead to updated procedures, additional training, or stronger due diligence for higher-risk relationships. This commitment reinforces the ongoing responsibility of Man And Van Primrosehill to operate ethically and prevent modern slavery in all forms.
We understand that eliminating modern slavery requires persistence and transparency. By maintaining a zero-tolerance policy, conducting supplier audits, supporting confidential reporting channels, and completing an annual review, Man And Van Primrosehill continues to strengthen its ethical standards and protect vulnerable people from exploitation.
