Modern Slavery Statement for Man with Van Dollis Hill
Man with Van Dollis Hill is committed to conducting all aspects of its operations in an ethical, transparent, and responsible manner. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our approach to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in our own operations and throughout our supply chains. It applies to all staff, contractors, and suppliers engaged by Man with Van Dollis Hill.
Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy
We have a strict zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, bonded labour, human trafficking, child labour, and servitude. We do not accept, condone, or knowingly participate in any activity that involves the exploitation of individuals. Any breach of this policy is considered a serious violation of our standards and may result in termination of employment or business relationships.
Our leadership is responsible for upholding this policy and for ensuring that it is understood and implemented across all levels of the business. Everyone working for or with Man with Van Dollis Hill is expected to act with integrity and to support our efforts to identify, prevent, and address the risk of modern slavery.
Our Operations and Supply Chains
Man with Van Dollis Hill provides transport and moving services. Our supply chains include vehicle providers, fuel suppliers, equipment and packaging suppliers, maintenance and cleaning providers, and certain professional service providers. We recognise that modern slavery risks can exist at any stage of a supply chain, especially where there is the use of temporary labour, subcontractors, or outsourced services.
We seek to work only with suppliers and partners who share our commitment to ethical conduct and human rights. We aim to build long-term relationships with suppliers based on transparency, mutual respect, and continuous improvement.
Supplier Standards and Audits
We expect all suppliers and contractors to comply with applicable labour, employment, and human rights laws, and to uphold standards that are consistent with this Modern Slavery Statement. As part of our due diligence processes, we may request information from suppliers about their labour practices, policies, and procedures to assess their approach to preventing modern slavery.
Where appropriate and proportionate to the level of risk, we may conduct supplier audits or assessments. These may include reviewing documentation, visiting relevant sites, and holding discussions with management. If we identify potential issues, we will work with the supplier to address them through corrective action plans, additional monitoring, or, where necessary, the suspension or termination of the business relationship.
Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing
We encourage all employees, contractors, and suppliers to raise concerns about any suspected modern slavery or unethical conduct in our operations or supply chains. Concerns can be reported to line managers or senior management. Reports may be made confidentially, and we will treat all information received sensitively.
We will not tolerate any form of retaliation against individuals who report concerns in good faith or who assist in investigations. All legitimate concerns will be investigated promptly and thoroughly, and appropriate action will be taken where issues are identified.
Training and Awareness
We aim to ensure that relevant staff understand the risks of modern slavery and know how to identify and report potential issues. Where appropriate, we provide information and guidance on recognising warning signs, engaging with suppliers responsibly, and following our reporting procedures.
Management is responsible for reinforcing our zero-tolerance approach and for ensuring that this statement and any related policies are communicated clearly across the business and, where relevant, to our suppliers.
Monitoring, Review, and Continuous Improvement
Man with Van Dollis Hill is committed to continuous improvement in the fight against modern slavery. We will monitor the effectiveness of our measures through regular review of supplier performance, internal feedback, and any reported concerns or incidents.
This Modern Slavery Statement will be reviewed annually and updated as necessary to reflect changes in legislation, guidance, and best practice, as well as developments in our own operations and supply chains. The review will consider the effectiveness of our due diligence, audits, training, and reporting mechanisms, and will seek opportunities to strengthen our controls and safeguards.
By publishing this Modern Slavery Statement, Man with Van Dollis Hill reaffirms its commitment to respecting human rights and to working actively to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of its business.
