Modern Slavery Statement for Man And Van Pimlico
Man And Van Pimlico is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with full respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the principles and actions that guide our operations, supplier relationships, and workplace culture. We recognise that modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and exploitation can exist in many forms, and we take a zero-tolerance approach to any practice that undermines dignity, freedom, or lawful employment.
Our commitment applies across all parts of the business, including direct operations, subcontracted services, and procurement. As a responsible Man and Van Pimlico provider, we seek to ensure that all individuals involved in delivering our services are treated fairly, paid lawfully, and protected from coercion or abuse. We expect the same standards from all suppliers, contractors, and business partners.
We maintain clear internal controls to identify and reduce modern slavery risks. This includes due diligence when selecting suppliers, reviewing employment practices, and checking that labour is sourced legally and transparently. Where appropriate, we require written confirmations from suppliers that they comply with relevant labour and anti-slavery laws, and we reserve the right to end relationships where concerns are not addressed promptly.
Risk Management and Supplier Oversight
Supplier audits are a key part of our approach. These audits may include document reviews, checks of onboarding processes, and verification that workers are engaged voluntarily and receive fair treatment. If a risk is identified, we will investigate, request corrective action, and monitor progress until the issue is resolved. Persistent non-compliance may result in suspension or termination of the business relationship. This applies equally to direct suppliers and any relevant sub-suppliers supporting the services we use.
We also train relevant staff to recognise warning signs, such as inconsistent labour records, restricted worker freedom, unusual wage deductions, or evidence of document retention. Our aim is to create a culture in which everyone understands that exploitation has no place in the operations of Man And Van Pimlico. We support responsible recruitment and encourage transparent working arrangements that respect choice, law, and personal safety.
To reinforce accountability, we keep records of supplier checks, audit outcomes, and any remedial actions taken. These records help us track patterns over time and improve our response to risks. In addition, we expect suppliers to maintain their own safeguards and to flow these standards through their supply chains wherever possible.
Reporting Channels, Review, and Governance
Anyone who suspects modern slavery or unethical labour practices in connection with our business is encouraged to raise the concern immediately through the appropriate internal reporting channel. Reports may be made confidentially and will be handled seriously, sensitively, and without retaliation. We will investigate concerns promptly, protect whistleblowers where possible, and take decisive action if a breach is confirmed.
Our leadership team holds responsibility for overseeing compliance with this statement and for ensuring that anti-slavery measures remain effective. This includes reviewing supplier performance, considering emerging risks, and promoting a workplace culture based on integrity. We believe that responsible management is essential to sustaining trust in the Man and Van Pimlico name and to ensuring that our services are delivered ethically.
Annual review is a core feature of this statement. At least once each year, we assess our policies, supplier controls, reporting process, and training needs to confirm that they remain suitable and effective. Where improvements are identified, we implement updated measures and strengthen our standards accordingly. This statement reflects our ongoing commitment to preventing modern slavery and protecting the people connected to our business.
