Modern Slavery Statement for Man And Van Haringey

Man And Van Haringey is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our approach to identifying, preventing, and responding to modern slavery and human trafficking risks across our operations and supply chains. We recognise that exploitation can take many forms, including forced labour, debt bondage, child labour, and unlawful restrictions on freedom of movement. Our position is clear: zero tolerance for any form of modern slavery.

We aim to ensure that everyone connected with our business is treated ethically and lawfully. This applies to employees, agency workers, contractors, and suppliers. The Man And Van Haringey modern slavery statement reflects our responsibility to uphold human dignity in every part of our service delivery. We expect all business partners to share our commitment and to maintain working practices that are transparent, lawful, and respectful.

Our internal controls are designed to reduce risk and support accountability. We carry out due diligence on new suppliers and periodically reassess existing relationships. Where appropriate, supplier audits may include checks on labour practices, working conditions, identity documentation, wage records, and compliance with employment law. These reviews help us identify warning signs early and act promptly if concerns arise.

The Man and Van Haringey team is trained to understand how modern slavery risks may appear in logistics, transport, and subcontracted services. We take a risk-based approach, focusing more closely on higher-risk categories such as labour-intensive services, temporary staffing, and supply chains involving multiple intermediaries. Any breach of our standards may result in corrective action, suspension, or termination of the business relationship.

We also expect suppliers to maintain accurate records and to cooperate fully with any compliance checks. Our contracts may include clauses requiring adherence to anti-slavery principles, lawful recruitment practices, and prompt disclosure of suspected wrongdoing. By embedding these expectations into procurement and operational decisions, Man And Van Haringey strengthens its ability to prevent exploitation before it occurs.

To support a culture of openness, we provide clear reporting channels for concerns related to modern slavery, unethical recruitment, unsafe practices, or abuse of workers. Reports may be made through internal management routes and will be treated seriously, discreetly, and without retaliation. Whistleblowing concerns can be raised in confidence, and all reports are reviewed with urgency and care.

If a concern is raised, we will assess the facts, preserve relevant evidence, and take appropriate action. This may include engaging with the supplier, requesting corrective measures, or involving relevant authorities where necessary. Our response is guided by the principle that potential victims must be protected and that any credible risk should be addressed without delay.

Man And Van Haringey is also committed to training and awareness. Managers involved in recruitment, supplier selection, and operational oversight are expected to understand the indicators of exploitation and the steps required to escalate concerns. We will continue to strengthen our procedures so that the Man And Van Haringey modern slavery statement remains effective, practical, and aligned with current legal expectations.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains current and reflects changes in our activities, supply chain profile, and compliance practices. The annual review includes consideration of any incidents, audit findings, training needs, and improvements to our controls. Where necessary, we will update our policies and procedures to reinforce our zero-tolerance policy and improve prevention measures.

Ongoing Commitment

As part of our wider ethical standards, we will continue to monitor supplier performance and promote responsible business conduct.

Our Man And Van Haringey approach is built on continuous improvement, not complacency.
