Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Aldgate

Man With Van Aldgate is committed to conducting business ethically and responsibly. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can affect many sectors, including transport, logistics, and support services, and we take our duty to act with vigilance seriously.

Our zero-tolerance policy applies across all parts of the business. We do not tolerate any form of exploitation, whether direct or indirect, and we expect the same standard from every supplier, contractor, and business partner associated with Man With Van Aldgate services. This commitment is embedded in our decision-making, procurement activity, and people management practices.

We assess risk by reviewing the nature of the work, the location of service delivery, and the labour practices of our suppliers. Where concerns arise, we act quickly to investigate and, where needed, remediate. Our approach to modern slavery prevention is based on continuous improvement, informed by training, due diligence, and oversight from management.

Supplier management is a key part of our safeguarding strategy. We carry out supplier audits and proportionate due diligence checks to understand how goods and services are sourced, who performs the work, and whether workers are treated fairly. These audits may include document reviews, labour practice assessments, and verification of compliance with our ethical standards. Man With Van Aldgate expects suppliers to demonstrate lawful employment practices, safe working conditions, and respect for workers’ rights.

Where a supplier is found to fall short of our standards, we will seek immediate corrective action. If improvement is not possible within an acceptable timeframe, we may suspend or end the relationship. This stance reinforces our zero-tolerance policy and helps ensure that our supply chain remains aligned with our values. We also encourage suppliers to maintain transparent records and to cooperate fully during any review.

Training is provided to relevant staff so they can identify warning signs of exploitation, including unusual working arrangements, restricted freedom, document retention, or unexplained subcontracting. Team members are encouraged to remain alert to risk indicators in Man With Van Aldgate operations and to report concerns without delay. Awareness is essential to preventing abuse and to protecting vulnerable individuals.

Reporting channels are available for employees, contractors, and supply chain partners who suspect modern slavery or related misconduct. Concerns can be raised through internal management routes, and all reports are treated seriously, confidentially, and without retaliation. We are committed to ensuring that anyone who raises an issue in good faith is supported and protected throughout the review process.

Any allegation is assessed promptly, and appropriate action is taken based on the findings. This may include further investigation, supplier engagement, escalation to senior leadership, or referral to the relevant authorities where necessary. Our reporting process helps strengthen accountability across Man With Van Aldgate and supports a culture in which ethical conduct is expected and reinforced.

This Statement is reviewed annually to confirm that it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with current legislation and business practices. The annual review considers audit results, reported concerns, supplier performance, and any changes in risk profile. Lessons learned are used to improve controls and deepen our commitment to preventing exploitation in all forms.

By maintaining clear standards, carrying out supplier audits, and supporting open reporting, Man With Van Aldgate demonstrates a lasting commitment to ethical operations. We believe that responsible business practice requires constant attention, practical safeguards, and a clear refusal to accept modern slavery in any part of our work.

We will continue to strengthen our procedures, update internal guidance where needed, and ensure that our approach to modern slavery remains proactive. This statement reflects our current position and our ongoing responsibility to protect people from harm while delivering services with integrity, fairness, and respect.
