Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Canarywharf

Man With Van Canarywharf is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with zero tolerance for modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, or any form of exploitation. This statement sets out the principles and controls that guide our operations and relationships with suppliers, contractors, and other business partners. We recognise that modern slavery can exist in many forms and across multiple supply chains, and we remain alert to the risks that may arise in transport, labour sourcing, and outsourced services.

Our commitment applies to every level of the business. We expect all staff to act with integrity, to respect human rights, and to escalate concerns without delay. In support of this approach, Man With Van Canarywharf maintains clear internal standards that prohibit coercion, deception, debt bondage, child labour, and any working conditions that are unsafe or unlawful. These expectations are reinforced through training, supervision, and management oversight.

We also require suppliers to uphold the same ethical standards. Before entering or renewing arrangements, we assess the nature of the service, the location of delivery, and the labour practices involved. Where higher-risk indicators are identified, we apply additional scrutiny and may request evidence of workforce checks, employment terms, and safeguarding measures. This helps ensure that Man With Van Canary Wharf and associated partners do not support abusive labour practices.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

Supplier audits are an essential part of our modern slavery controls. We conduct proportionate reviews of selected suppliers to verify compliance with labour laws, working time requirements, and ethical recruitment practices. These audits may include document checks, policy reviews, and site or process assessments where appropriate. If concerns are identified, we expect prompt corrective action and may suspend or end the relationship if issues are not resolved.

Our due diligence framework is designed to identify red flags such as unusually low pricing, high staff turnover, restricted worker freedom, withheld wages, or unclear subcontracting arrangements. Man With Van Canarywharf records these findings and uses them to improve supplier selection and oversight. We also encourage suppliers to maintain their own internal controls and to apply a preventive approach to labour risk management.

Where a supplier operates in a sector or region with elevated risk, we may request enhanced assurances, including written confirmations of compliance, evidence of right-to-work processes, and details of recruitment methods. This ongoing monitoring supports accountability and helps us maintain a responsible supply chain that reflects the values of Man With Van Canarywharf.

Reporting Channels, Investigation, and Protection

Any person connected to our business who suspects modern slavery is encouraged to report it immediately through established reporting channels. Concerns may be raised internally with managers or designated compliance personnel, and they will be treated seriously, confidentially, and without retaliation. We stress that anyone making a report in good faith will be protected from victimisation and that all disclosures will be assessed promptly.

All allegations are investigated in line with our internal procedures. Where necessary, we will cooperate with relevant authorities and take steps to safeguard affected individuals. This may include ending a supplier relationship, revising working practices, or strengthening due diligence controls. The aim is not only to respond to incidents but to reduce the risk of recurrence across the wider supply chain.

Man With Van Canarywharf also promotes awareness so that employees and suppliers understand the signs of exploitation. Indicators may include restricted movement, lack of personal documents, fear of authority, or dependence created through recruitment debt. By encouraging early reporting and maintaining vigilance, we seek to create an environment in which exploitation cannot hide.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement and our supporting controls are reviewed annually to ensure they remain effective, relevant, and aligned with legal obligations and best practice. The review considers any reported incidents, supplier audit outcomes, lessons learned, and changes in risk exposure. Where improvements are needed, action plans are developed and monitored by management.

We recognise that combating modern slavery requires continual attention and collaboration. For that reason, we will strengthen training, refine supplier assessments, and expand audit activity where appropriate. Man With Van Canarywharf is committed to continuous improvement and to acting decisively when risks are identified.

This Modern Slavery Statement reflects our ongoing commitment to ethical trading, respect for human dignity, and accountable business conduct. Man With Van Canary Wharf will continue to work with employees, suppliers, and partners to ensure our operations remain free from exploitation and consistent with our zero-tolerance approach.
