Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Boundsgreen

Man With Van Boundsgreen 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 in our operations and supply chain. We recognise that exploitation can occur in many forms, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any practice that undermines dignity or freedom. All employees, contractors, and suppliers are expected to uphold these standards at all times.

Our business operates in a service environment where people, vehicles, equipment, and subcontracted support may all be involved. Because of this, we apply due diligence to sourcing, recruitment, and procurement. We aim to ensure that every Man With Van Boundsgreen activity is carried out lawfully, ethically, and transparently. Human rights compliance is treated as a core responsibility, not an optional extra.

We do not tolerate any form of coercion, debt bondage, withholding of identity documents, wage abuse, or unsafe working conditions. If concerns arise, they are investigated promptly and handled with discretion. This approach helps protect workers across our own team and within the wider Boundsgreen removals and transport supply chain.

Supplier selection is based not only on price and capability but also on ethical standards. Before engaging new suppliers, we assess ownership, labour practices, and compliance history. Existing partners may be asked to confirm that they operate in line with our expectations and relevant laws. Where appropriate, we carry out supplier audits to review labour arrangements, subcontracting controls, record keeping, and worker welfare. These audits help us identify risk early and take corrective action where needed.

Our procurement teams are encouraged to look for warning signs such as unusually low prices, excessive overtime, restricted movement, or lack of written employment terms. In the event that a supplier fails to meet our standards, we require a remediation plan and may suspend or end the relationship if improvements are not made. This commitment applies across the man and van Boundsgreen network as well as any associated logistics support.

Training and awareness are important parts of our prevention strategy. Managers and relevant staff receive guidance on recognising exploitation indicators and responding appropriately. We also promote a culture where ethical concerns can be raised without fear. Prevention is strengthened when people understand what to look for and feel confident acting on it.

Reporting, Escalation, and Review

We provide clear reporting channels for anyone who suspects wrongdoing. Concerns may be raised internally through line management, senior leadership, or designated safeguarding routes. Reports can be made confidentially, and we will treat each case seriously, fairly, and promptly. No one should fear retaliation for speaking up in good faith. This applies equally to employees, agency workers, subcontractors, and suppliers connected with Man With Van Boundsgreen services.

All reports are logged, assessed, and investigated in proportion to the issue raised. Where necessary, we work with relevant parties to address risks, protect individuals, and improve controls. If a case indicates a serious breach of our standards, we may notify appropriate authorities and take decisive action to stop further harm. Our response aims to be both practical and rights-focused.

We review this statement and our wider anti-slavery measures annually to ensure they remain effective and relevant. The review considers changes in law, operational risk, supplier performance, and any incidents or lessons learned. As part of that process, we update controls, refresh training, and strengthen audits where required. This ongoing cycle reflects our belief that responsible business practices must be continuously improved, not simply declared.
