Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Canarywharf
Man With Van Canarywharf is committed to operating with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights across every part of our business. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour, and all forms of exploitation. We expect the same standards from our employees, suppliers, contractors, and business partners. Our approach is based on vigilance, accountability, and continuous improvement in all operations connected with Man With Van Canarywharf.
Modern slavery can take many forms, including debt bondage, coercion, deception, and the withholding of identity documents. To prevent such abuses, Man With Van Canarywharf carries out risk checks across recruitment, procurement, and service delivery. We require lawful employment practices, age verification where appropriate, and fair working conditions. Any sign of abuse is treated seriously and investigated promptly.
Our commitment extends to the wider supply chain. We recognise that the risk of exploitation may be higher in certain sectors, so supplier relationships are reviewed carefully before engagement and throughout the partnership. Supplier audits form an essential part of our compliance framework, helping us assess labour standards, payment practices, subcontracting arrangements, and worker protections.
When concerns arise, Man With Van Canarywharf expects immediate escalation and transparent action. We provide multiple reporting channels so workers, suppliers, and colleagues can raise concerns without fear of retaliation. Reports may relate to recruitment practices, unsafe conditions, coercion, document retention, or any behaviour that suggests exploitation. All concerns are reviewed confidentially and handled with urgency.
Where a breach is identified, we may require corrective action, suspend work, or terminate relationships if necessary. We also cooperate with relevant authorities when a matter may involve criminal conduct. This response framework supports our commitment to ethical business and reinforces the message that there is no place for modern slavery in or around Man With Van Canarywharf.
Training is another important safeguard. Employees involved in hiring, procurement, and supplier oversight receive guidance on recognising warning signs and following internal procedures. This helps ensure that our teams remain alert to risks and are equipped to act responsibly. A culture of awareness strengthens the effectiveness of our modern slavery controls.
Our due diligence programme is proportionate to risk and designed to improve over time. We review supplier questionnaires, monitor compliance documentation, and use audit findings to identify gaps in labour standards. High-risk suppliers may be subject to enhanced checks, while lower-risk relationships are still monitored through periodic reviews. This approach helps Man With Van Canarywharf maintain consistent standards across its operations.
We also encourage all stakeholders to uphold ethical recruitment and fair treatment. No worker should pay recruitment fees, face threats, or be forced to work under duress. In line with our values, we promote dignity, lawful pay, and safe conditions for everyone contributing to our services. These principles are central to the reputation and responsibility of Man With Van Canarywharf.
Annual review is a key part of this statement. Each year, we assess the effectiveness of our policies, supplier audits, reporting channels, and training measures. The review considers any incidents, emerging risks, and opportunities to strengthen our controls. Updates are made where necessary to reflect changes in law, business activity, or supply chain risk.
