Modern Slavery Statement for Movers Greenwich
Movers Greenwich is committed to operating with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights across every part of our business. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation within our operations and supply chains. As a responsible Greenwich moving company, we recognise that ethical conduct is essential to trust, safety, and long-term sustainability.
We apply a zero-tolerance policy toward all forms of modern slavery. This policy applies to our employees, contractors, agency staff, and suppliers. No person working on behalf of Movers Greenwich may engage in, support, or ignore exploitative practices. We expect all parties to uphold lawful working conditions, fair treatment, and freedom from coercion. Any breach of this policy may lead to immediate review and corrective action, including termination of business relationships where necessary.
Our approach begins with due diligence. Before working with new suppliers, we assess their labour practices, business reputation, and commitment to ethical standards. 
Existing suppliers are also monitored through risk-based supplier audits, which may include document checks, questionnaire reviews, and verification of employment policies. These audits help us identify potential warning signs such as withheld wages, unsafe conditions, or the use of undeclared labour. We expect suppliers to cooperate fully and demonstrate continuous improvement.
Our staff play a vital role in recognising and preventing abuse. All team members receive training on the signs of modern slavery, including restricted movement, fear of management, signs of debt bondage, and unusual working arrangements. At Movers Greenwich, we encourage a culture where concerns can be raised early and without fear. Managers are responsible for responding promptly and ensuring that any issue is treated seriously, discreetly, and in line with our ethical standards.
We provide clear reporting channels so that employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders can raise concerns about suspected wrongdoing. Reports may be made through line managers, senior leaders, or designated safeguarding processes. All reports are handled confidentially and investigated appropriately. We prohibit retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith. This helps us protect vulnerable individuals and maintain confidence in our modern slavery prevention practices.
Where risks are identified, we take decisive action. This may include requesting corrective plans, increasing audit frequency, suspending work with a supplier, or ending the relationship if improvements are not made. We also keep records of identified risks, investigations, and outcomes so that our response remains consistent and measurable. Our aim is not only to comply with the law, but to actively reduce the risk of exploitation in every part of the Movers Greenwich supply chain.
Our commitment is reviewed regularly to ensure it remains effective and relevant. We assess changes in legislation, sector risks, supplier performance, and internal procedures. Each year, we carry out an annual review of this statement and the controls supporting it. That review considers training completion, audit findings, incident reports, and any improvements required. This process allows us to strengthen accountability and refine our approach over time.
As a business serving the Greenwich area, we understand that ethical operations are part of our responsibility to customers, workers, and the wider community. Movers Greenwich will continue to promote transparency, vigilance, and respect for human dignity in everything we do. By maintaining a zero-tolerance policy, carrying out supplier audits, offering reliable reporting channels, and completing an annual review, we reinforce our commitment to preventing modern slavery and supporting fair working practices.
