Modern Slavery Statement for Man And Van Harrow

Man And Van Harrow is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can affect many sectors, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of abuse, coercion, or unlawful labour practice.

As a local service provider, Man and Van Harrow works with a network of suppliers, contractors, and partners. We expect all parties to share our values and to operate in line with legal and ethical standards. Our commitment is not only to compliance but also to the active promotion of fair treatment, safe working conditions, and dignity for every worker involved in our business activities.

We apply due diligence to reduce the risk of modern slavery in our operations. This includes checking supplier credentials, assessing potential risk indicators, and ensuring that arrangements with third parties are based on lawful, transparent practices. Where risks are identified, we take proportionate action to investigate and address them. Man And Van Harrow understands that prevention depends on vigilance, accountability, and consistent review.

Supplier Responsibility and Oversight

Our supplier standards are designed to support responsible procurement. We expect suppliers to confirm that they do not use forced, bonded, or trafficked labour, and that workers are free to leave employment in accordance with applicable law. Supplier audits are an important part of our oversight approach, and may include document checks, process reviews, and confirmation of labour practices. These reviews help us identify concerns early and reinforce ethical conduct across the supply chain.

When issues arise, we seek corrective action and ongoing improvement. If a supplier fails to meet our expectations, we may require evidence of remediation, additional monitoring, or, where necessary, termination of the relationship. This approach is intended to protect workers and preserve the integrity of Man And Van Harrow services. We believe that responsible business practice must be reflected not only in policies but also in daily decision-making.

Training and internal awareness also play a key role. Staff involved in procurement, operations, and management are encouraged to understand the signs of exploitation and to remain alert to unusual or inconsistent labour arrangements. By embedding awareness throughout the organisation, Man and Van Harrow strengthens its ability to identify and respond to risk.

Reporting, Accountability, and Review

We provide reporting channels for employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders to raise concerns in good faith. Reports may relate to suspected exploitation, unsafe working conditions, unethical recruitment, or any conduct inconsistent with this statement. Concerns are taken seriously, handled confidentially where appropriate, and reviewed promptly by the relevant management team. Retaliation against anyone who raises a genuine concern is not tolerated.

Our modern slavery controls are reviewed as part of wider governance processes. Annual review of this statement and our related practices allows us to assess effectiveness, identify emerging risks, and improve our safeguards. The review considers supplier performance, incident trends, internal awareness, and any changes in legal or industry expectations. This helps ensure the statement remains relevant and practical.

We recognise that preventing modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility rather than a one-time exercise. Man And Van Harrow will continue to strengthen its policies, maintain supplier accountability, and support ethical working practices. The business remains committed to doing what is necessary to help ensure that every person connected to our operations is treated fairly, lawfully, and with respect.

This statement reflects the commitment of Man And Van Harrow to uphold human rights and to oppose all forms of modern slavery and trafficking. Through our zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, reporting channels, and annual review process, we aim to maintain a responsible, ethical, and compliant business culture.
