Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van West Green

Man With Van West Green is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken to identify, prevent, and address any risk of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, or child labour within our operations and supply chains. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of exploitation and expect the same ethical standard from everyone who works with or for us.

Our business recognises that modern slavery can take many forms, including coercion, debt bondage, deceptive recruitment, and withheld documents. To reduce these risks, Man With Van West Green applies due diligence across recruitment, subcontracting, procurement, and day-to-day service delivery. We also require all relevant parties to act in compliance with applicable labour laws, ethical employment practices, and our internal standards of conduct.

We are committed to continual improvement in preventing exploitation. This means reviewing risk areas, strengthening internal controls, and ensuring that our staff understand how to recognise warning signs. As part of our approach, we promote responsible business conduct at every level of the organisation and expect managers, contractors, and suppliers to support this commitment.

Our Policies and Governance

The foundation of our approach is a clear zero-tolerance policy. Any allegation or concern relating to slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, or abusive recruitment is treated seriously and investigated promptly. Where necessary, we will suspend, remove, or terminate relationships with individuals or businesses that fail to meet our standards. This applies equally to direct operations and to third-party arrangements connected with West Green man and van services.

Responsibility for overseeing this statement rests with our management team, who are accountable for ensuring policy implementation, training, and review. Key personnel are encouraged to stay alert to signs of vulnerability, such as restricted movement, unsafe working conditions, unusual wage deductions, or a lack of freedom in employment decisions. These indicators are considered carefully and escalated without delay.

Training is provided where appropriate so that staff can understand the nature of modern slavery and the risks relevant to logistics, transport support, and supplier engagement. We believe awareness is essential to prevention, and we aim to create a culture in which ethical concerns are raised early and addressed consistently.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

Man With Van West Green applies proportionate due diligence before engaging new suppliers or subcontractors. This includes checking business credentials, reviewing labour practices, and seeking assurance that workers are recruited and treated lawfully. Existing suppliers are periodically reassessed according to risk, service type, and geographic exposure.

We conduct supplier audits where appropriate to verify compliance with our standards. Audits may include document reviews, workforce checks, site visits, and follow-up actions where concerns are identified. If a supplier cannot demonstrate acceptable controls, we will require corrective action and may end the relationship if improvement is not achieved.

Our procurement approach is based on the principle that commercial relationships should never come at the expense of human dignity. We therefore expect suppliers to provide accurate information, cooperate openly, and maintain records that support lawful employment and safe working conditions. These requirements help us protect the integrity of Man With Van West Green and the wider supply chain.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We encourage anyone with concerns about modern slavery to report them promptly through internal reporting channels. Concerns may relate to recruitment, pay, working hours, threats, document retention, or any other practice that appears exploitative. Reports are handled seriously, discreetly, and without unnecessary delay.

Individuals who raise concerns in good faith will not face retaliation. We are committed to protecting whistleblowers and ensuring that issues can be raised safely. Where a report suggests immediate risk to a worker, we will act quickly to safeguard the person affected and to prevent further harm. This approach supports accountability across West Green Man With Van operations and related partnerships.

Any confirmed breach of this statement may lead to disciplinary action, contractual remedies, training intervention, or termination of the relevant business relationship. We aim to respond proportionately while prioritising the welfare of potentially affected workers and the removal of abusive practices from our supply chain.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This Modern Slavery Statement will be reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with current risks and legal expectations. The review considers audit outcomes, supplier performance, training completion, reported concerns, and any changes in our business model or operating environment. We will update our controls where improvements are identified.

Through regular review, clear reporting routes, supplier oversight, and a firm zero-tolerance stance, Man With Van West Green aims to prevent modern slavery in all its forms. We recognise that vigilance is essential, and we will continue strengthening our practices to promote ethical operations, responsible sourcing, and respect for every individual involved in our work.
