Modern Slavery Statement for Man and Van Swiss Cottage
This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by Man and Van Swiss Cottage to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We operate as a local removals and transportation business and recognise our responsibility to uphold and promote respect for human rights in all aspects of our activities.
Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy
Man and Van Swiss Cottage has a clear zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, servitude and child labour. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all business dealings and relationships. Any form of exploitation is fundamentally incompatible with our values and the way we conduct business.
We expect the same high standards from everyone we work with, including employees, agency workers, subcontractors, suppliers and other business partners. We will not knowingly engage with any party that is involved in, or complicit with, modern slavery or human trafficking in any form.
Scope of this Statement
This statement applies to all activities undertaken by Man and Van Swiss Cottage, including removals, deliveries, storage-related services and any ancillary services we provide. It covers all individuals working for or on behalf of the business in any capacity, such as staff, agency workers, contractors, volunteers and external service providers.
Risk Assessment and Due Diligence
We recognise that the logistics and transport sector can be exposed to risks such as exploitative working conditions, unlawful recruitment practices and the misuse of migrant labour. To address these risks, we carry out ongoing assessments of our operations and supply chains to identify areas where modern slavery risks may arise.
Our due diligence processes include evaluating the labour practices of new suppliers, checking that they comply with relevant laws, and seeking assurances about their own anti-slavery arrangements. Where concerns are identified, we either work with the supplier to address them promptly or cease the relationship.
Supplier Standards and Audits
We require our suppliers and subcontractors to operate in a manner consistent with our zero-tolerance stance on modern slavery. This includes maintaining legally compliant employment practices, paying at least the minimum wage, providing safe working conditions and ensuring that workers are free from coercion.
We reserve the right to conduct audits or request evidence to verify compliance with our expectations. These checks may include reviewing documentation, inspecting premises or meeting with management and workers, where appropriate. If a supplier fails to meet our standards or refuses to cooperate with an audit, we will consider this grounds for review or termination of the business relationship.
Training, Awareness and Responsibility
Responsibility for implementing this Modern Slavery Statement rests with the management of Man and Van Swiss Cottage. Managers are responsible for ensuring that their teams understand the risks of modern slavery and the importance of raising concerns. We provide guidance to relevant staff on recognising indicators of exploitation, particularly in the recruitment and management of drivers, loaders, warehouse workers and other operational staff.
We also encourage a culture in which respect, fairness and open communication are promoted, and where unethical behaviour is challenged promptly.
Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing
Man and Van Swiss Cottage encourages anyone who suspects that modern slavery or human trafficking may be taking place in our operations or supply chains to report their concerns without delay. Concerns may be raised directly with management or through internal reporting channels. We will treat all reports seriously, handle them sensitively and, where possible, confidentially.
No person will suffer any detrimental treatment for raising a concern about modern slavery in good faith. We will investigate all reports thoroughly and take appropriate action, which may include notifying the relevant authorities and ending relationships with any parties found to be involved in exploitation.
Continuous Improvement and Annual Review
We recognise that tackling modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility and requires regular evaluation. Man and Van Swiss Cottage is committed to reviewing this Modern Slavery Statement at least once every year. The annual review will consider any incidents reported, audit findings, changes in legislation and developments in best practice.
Where necessary, we will update our policies, training and due diligence processes to strengthen our approach. Our aim is continuous improvement in our efforts to prevent and address modern slavery and human trafficking in everything we do.
This Modern Slavery Statement has been approved by the management of Man and Van Swiss Cottage and reflects our commitment to conducting business ethically, responsibly and in full respect of human rights.
