Modern Slavery Statement for Man And Van Peckham

Man And Van Peckham is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking within our operations and supply chain. We recognise that the moving and transport sector can involve multiple service providers, making vigilance essential. For that reason, we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery or exploitation.

Our commitment applies to everyone working with Man and Van Peckham, including employees, contractors, and suppliers. We expect all parties to share our values and comply with applicable labour laws, ethical standards, and fair treatment principles. Through clear policies and ongoing checks, Man And Van Peckham works to ensure that every task, from logistics support to subcontracted services, is carried out responsibly and transparently.

We also take a proactive approach to risk management. This includes assessing where modern slavery risks may arise, especially in areas involving temporary labour, outsourced transport, cleaning services, or other support functions. By reviewing these risks regularly, the Man and Van Peckham modern slavery statement reflects our determination to identify issues early and respond decisively.

Suppliers are a key part of our prevention strategy. We apply supplier audits and due diligence checks to review labour practices, wage arrangements, right-to-work compliance, and subcontracting controls. When appropriate, we request supporting documentation and may conduct follow-up reviews to confirm that standards are being maintained. These audits help the Man & Van Peckham supply chain remain responsible and aligned with our ethical expectations.

If concerns are identified, we seek immediate corrective action. Where a supplier cannot demonstrate adequate safeguards, we may suspend or end the relationship. This approach reinforces our zero-tolerance policy and shows that compliance is not optional. The Man and Van Peckham statement on modern slavery is therefore not only a declaration of values, but also a practical framework for action and accountability.

We encourage anyone working with us, or affected by our operations, to raise concerns about possible exploitation without fear of retaliation. Reporting can be made through internal management channels, and all concerns are treated seriously, confidentially, and with care. By maintaining clear reporting channels, Man And Van Peckham aims to make it easier to speak up if something seems wrong.

All reports are reviewed promptly, and appropriate steps are taken based on the nature of the concern. This may include investigation, escalation, supplier review, or cooperation with relevant authorities where required. We believe that safeguarding people is a shared responsibility, and our modern slavery controls are designed to support that responsibility at every level of the business.

Training and awareness are also important parts of our approach. Staff involved in procurement, hiring, and operations are encouraged to understand the indicators of modern slavery and the importance of ethical decision-making. Regular awareness helps the Man and Van Peckham modern slavery statement remain active in day-to-day practice rather than existing only as a written commitment.

We monitor progress through internal reviews and supplier assessments, and we keep records of actions taken in response to identified risks. This helps us measure whether our controls remain effective and where improvements are needed. By combining audits, training, and reporting mechanisms, Man And Van Peckham continues to strengthen its commitment to responsible business conduct.

This statement will be reviewed annually to ensure it remains relevant, effective, and aligned with legal and ethical expectations. Each annual review considers changes in business activity, supplier risk, and any lessons learned from reports or audits. Where necessary, updates are made to improve safeguards and reinforce our zero-tolerance position.

Through this ongoing review process, Man And Van Peckham demonstrates that preventing modern slavery is a continuous obligation. We remain dedicated to protecting people, promoting fair working conditions, and ensuring that our operations and supplier relationships reflect the highest standards of integrity.
