Modern Slavery Statement
Movers Greenwich Modern Slavery Statement
This Modern Slavery Statement is made on behalf of Movers Greenwich and sets out our commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to conduct business ethically and transparently and to safeguard the rights and dignity of all individuals who contribute to our services.
Movers Greenwich operates within the removals and logistics sector, engaging employees, subcontractors, and suppliers to deliver moving and relocation services. We understand that our activities and supply chains may involve risk areas, particularly where labour is sourced indirectly or across multiple tiers of subcontracting.
Our Zero-Tolerance Policy
Movers Greenwich has a strict zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, servitude and human trafficking. We are committed to ensuring that no such practices occur in any part of our business or supply chains.
All employees, contractors and suppliers are expected to uphold the highest standards of integrity and respect for human rights. Any breach of this policy is treated as a serious misconduct issue and may result in disciplinary action, termination of contracts or referral to relevant authorities.
Governance and Responsibilities
The senior management team at Movers Greenwich holds overall responsibility for implementing and maintaining this Modern Slavery Statement. Managers at all levels are responsible for promoting awareness, ensuring compliance with this policy and escalating any concerns relating to modern slavery risks.
We integrate our modern slavery commitments into our wider governance framework, including recruitment, procurement, health and safety, and ethical business conduct.
Due Diligence and Supplier Audits
Movers Greenwich is committed to conducting due diligence on all key suppliers and subcontractors, particularly those providing labour, transport, storage, packaging and associated services. We expect our suppliers to share our stance on modern slavery and to demonstrate compliance with applicable labour and human rights legislation.
Our supplier due diligence measures include assessing the nature of services provided, the location of operations and the structure of labour used. Where we identify areas of higher risk, we may conduct additional checks and request further evidence of compliance.
We reserve the right to conduct audits of suppliers and subcontractors to verify adherence to our modern slavery requirements. These audits may include document reviews, site visits and confidential discussions with workers where appropriate. Failure to meet our standards may result in corrective action plans, suspension of work or termination of the business relationship.
Training and Awareness
Movers Greenwich recognises that raising awareness is essential in preventing modern slavery. We provide information to relevant employees and managers on recognising indicators of exploitation, understanding our zero-tolerance policy and knowing how to report concerns.
We encourage all staff to remain vigilant and to question working practices, supply arrangements or behaviours that appear inconsistent with our values or legal obligations.
Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing
We promote a culture where concerns about modern slavery can be raised without fear of retaliation. Employees, contractors and other stakeholders are encouraged to report any suspicion or knowledge of modern slavery, whether within Movers Greenwich or in our supply chains.
Concerns can be raised through internal reporting channels or directly to management. Reports will be treated seriously, investigated promptly and handled sensitively and confidentially as far as possible. No individual will suffer detrimental treatment for raising a concern in good faith, even if it is not substantiated.
Continuous Improvement and Annual Review
Movers Greenwich recognises that tackling modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility. We are committed to continuously improving our processes and controls to identify, prevent and address modern slavery risks. This includes reviewing our procurement practices, refining our due diligence methods and enhancing training and communication.
This Modern Slavery Statement will be reviewed at least annually by senior management to ensure it remains effective, relevant and aligned with legislative requirements and industry best practice. Where necessary, we will update our policy, procedures and actions to strengthen our approach.
This statement represents the current position of Movers Greenwich on modern slavery and human trafficking and reflects our determination to conduct business with integrity and respect for human rights across all our activities.
