Modern Slavery Statement for Man And Van Knightsbridge
Man And Van Knightsbridge is committed to conducting business ethically and responsibly. We recognise that modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour are serious violations of human rights and have no place in our operations or in any part of our supply chain. This statement sets out the steps we take to uphold a zero-tolerance policy toward exploitation and to ensure that our business practices remain lawful, transparent, and fair.
Our Commitment
As a trusted Man and Van Knightsbridge service provider, we understand that integrity must guide every aspect of our work. Our approach is based on respect for individuals, safe working conditions, and fair treatment. We expect all employees, contractors, and suppliers to act in accordance with these principles. Any relationship that involves coercion, deception, threats, or abuse is incompatible with our standards. We also maintain clear internal controls to reduce the risk of labour exploitation across our activities.
Risk Assessment and Supply Chain Responsibility
We regularly review the areas of our business where the risk of modern slavery may be higher, including outsourced services, temporary labour, and third-party suppliers. Our procurement process includes checks designed to identify warning signs such as unusual payment practices, lack of transparency, or inadequate employment records. Through supplier audits, we assess whether our partners meet our expectations on legal compliance, worker welfare, and ethical conduct. Where concerns are identified, we require corrective action and, if necessary, we end the relationship.
Policies, Reporting, and Training
Our staff are encouraged to remain alert to indicators of exploitation and to treat potential concerns seriously. We provide guidance on how to recognise unsafe or abusive conditions, particularly when working with external providers. Reporting channels are available so that employees and relevant stakeholders can raise concerns in good faith without fear of retaliation. Reports may be made through line management or internal compliance routes, and all concerns are reviewed promptly, confidentially, and with appropriate follow-up action.
Training is an important part of our prevention strategy. We aim to ensure that key personnel involved in recruitment, supplier management, and operations understand the signs of modern slavery and the importance of vigilance. This supports a culture in which ethical conduct is expected at every level of the organisation. By reinforcing awareness, Man And Van Knightsbridge strengthens its ability to respond quickly to any issue that may arise and to protect vulnerable individuals from harm.
Monitoring and Continuous Improvement
We recognise that the fight against modern slavery requires ongoing attention. Our procedures are reviewed to reflect changes in law, industry practice, and operational risk. Supplier checks, contract terms, and due diligence measures are updated where needed to improve effectiveness. We also seek to work only with organisations that share our commitment to lawful employment practices and respectful treatment of workers.
Annual Review and Accountability
This Modern Slavery Statement is subject to annual review so that we can measure progress and identify opportunities for improvement. The review considers any reported issues, supplier findings, and changes in business activity that may affect risk. Responsibility for overseeing this process sits with management, who ensure that the statement remains accurate, relevant, and aligned with our ethical commitments.
In conclusion, Man and Van Knightsbridge reaffirms its dedication to preventing modern slavery in all forms. Our zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, reporting channels, and annual review process form the foundation of our approach. We will continue to act responsibly, strengthen our controls, and promote dignity, fairness, and compliance throughout our business and supply chain.
Man And Van Knightsbridge remains committed to doing the right thing and to maintaining a workplace and supply network that reflect the highest standards of human rights protection.
