Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Bayswater

Man With Van Bayswater is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with full respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the principles and actions we follow to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour within our operations and supply chain. We recognise that zero tolerance is essential to protecting workers, maintaining trust, and ensuring that every service connected with Man With Van Bayswater meets our standards.

Our approach is built on clear governance, ongoing vigilance, and practical safeguards. We expect all employees, contractors, and business partners to act with integrity and to comply with applicable labour laws. In line with our ethical responsibilities, Man With Van Bayswater requires that any indication of exploitation be treated seriously, investigated promptly, and addressed decisively. We do not accept any form of modern slavery in our business or in the services we procure.

We also recognise that the logistics and transport sector may involve risks linked to temporary labour, subcontracting, and extended supply chains. For that reason, Man With Van Bayswater has established procedures to identify, assess, and reduce those risks. This includes supplier due diligence, contractual expectations, and oversight measures designed to promote fair working conditions and transparent employment practices.

Our zero-tolerance policy applies across all areas of activity. Any supplier found to be involved in forced labour, debt bondage, deception, withholding of documents, or other exploitative conduct may face immediate review and possible termination of the relationship. We expect suppliers to share our values and to implement appropriate controls within their own organisations and subcontracted arrangements.

To support this policy, Man With Van Bayswater carries out supplier audits on a risk-based basis. These audits may include reviews of employment records, worker recruitment practices, wage information, working hours, and subcontractor management. Where concerns arise, corrective actions are required and monitored. If a supplier fails to demonstrate improvement, we will reconsider the partnership and take appropriate remedial action.

We maintain clear reporting channels so that concerns can be raised safely and without fear of retaliation. Employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders are encouraged to report suspected misconduct, poor labour practices, or signs of exploitation through internal reporting procedures and management escalation routes. Reports are handled confidentially where possible, and all allegations are assessed promptly and fairly.

We are committed to creating a culture where speaking up is supported. Managers are expected to respond responsibly to concerns and to escalate issues where necessary. Training and internal communication help ensure that staff understand the signs of modern slavery, how to respond to risks, and the importance of maintaining ethical standards in everyday operations. This commitment is part of the wider responsibility of Man With Van Bayswater to protect vulnerable individuals.

Our due diligence process also considers recruitment practices, the legitimacy of labour providers, and whether workers are free to leave employment without penalty. We expect suppliers to retain proper documentation, to avoid unlawful deductions, and to ensure that workers receive clear information about their roles and conditions. These requirements help us reduce exposure to modern slavery risks throughout the service chain.

We will continue to strengthen our controls through continuous monitoring and improvement. Modern slavery risks can change over time, so our measures are designed to remain responsive and effective. Man With Van Bayswater understands that ethical conduct is not a one-time commitment but an ongoing responsibility that must be embedded in day-to-day decision-making.

This statement is reviewed annually to confirm its continued suitability and to reflect changes in our business, our suppliers, and relevant legal or ethical expectations. During each review, we assess the effectiveness of our policies, audit findings, reported concerns, and any corrective actions taken. Updates are made where necessary to ensure the statement remains accurate and meaningful.

By publishing this statement, Man With Van Bayswater reaffirms its dedication to fair treatment, lawful working conditions, and responsible sourcing. We will continue to uphold a firm stance against modern slavery and to act when risks are identified. Our promise is simple: no tolerance for exploitation, full accountability across our operations, and a lasting commitment to ethical business practice.
