Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Knightsbridge
At Man With Van Knightsbridge, we are committed to conducting business with integrity, dignity, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the actions we take to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. We believe that every person involved in our work, whether directly employed or engaged through a supplier, must be treated fairly and lawfully.
Our commitment is based on a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery. We do not accept practices that exploit vulnerability, restrict freedom, or violate employment rights. This policy applies across our business activities, including recruitment, subcontracted services, transportation support, and procurement. By maintaining clear expectations, we aim to safeguard workers and support responsible business conduct at every stage.
To help identify and reduce risk, Man With Van Knightsbridge carries out supplier due diligence and regular supplier audits. We expect suppliers to comply with all applicable labour, health, and safety laws, and to maintain transparent records relating to wages, working hours, and worker conditions. Where appropriate, audits may include document checks, site visits, and reviews of subcontracting arrangements. If concerns are identified, we require prompt corrective action and may suspend or end the relationship if standards are not met.
Risk Management and Accountability
We understand that modern slavery risks can appear in any sector, particularly where labour is outsourced or where complex supply chains are involved. For this reason, Man With Van Knightsbridge assesses risk when selecting suppliers and renewing contracts. Higher-risk relationships receive closer scrutiny, and we encourage suppliers to demonstrate their own anti-slavery controls. Our internal review process also considers recruitment practices, identity verification, and the use of agency or temporary workers.
Employees and contractors are trained to recognise warning signs that may indicate exploitation, including unusual restrictions on movement, signs of fear or control, withheld documents, or unexplained payment practices. We promote a culture where concerns can be raised early and handled responsibly. Managers are expected to act on red flags without delay, ensuring that any investigation is fair, confidential, and properly recorded.
To support accountability, we maintain documented procedures for investigating suspected breaches of our standards. These procedures are designed to protect individuals while enabling appropriate action. When a concern is substantiated, we respond in a proportionate way that may include supplier remediation, contract review, escalation to leadership, or referral to relevant authorities where required.
Reporting Channels and Annual Review
We provide clear reporting channels so that concerns about modern slavery can be raised safely. Reports may be made through line management, senior management, or internal compliance processes. We encourage anyone working with or on behalf of the business to report suspected issues in good faith. All reports are treated seriously, and retaliation against whistleblowers is not tolerated. Protecting the person raising the concern is an essential part of our approach.
This statement is reviewed annually to ensure that it remains relevant, effective, and aligned with legal and ethical expectations. The review considers changes in our business, supplier base, and risk environment, as well as the effectiveness of training, audits, and reporting arrangements. Where necessary, we strengthen controls and update our practices to reflect lessons learned and emerging risks.
As part of our ongoing commitment, Man With Van Knightsbridge will continue to improve awareness, strengthen supplier oversight, and uphold a zero-tolerance stance toward exploitation. By maintaining vigilance and accountability, we aim to play our part in helping eliminate modern slavery and supporting a fairer, safer economy for all.
