Modern Slavery Statement

Modern Slavery Statement for Man With a Van Holland Park

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the approach of Man With a Van Holland Park to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to respect human rights and are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

Man With a Van Holland Park has a clear zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, servitude, human trafficking, and child labour. We do not tolerate any practice that exploits individuals or deprives them of their freedom, whether directly in our own operations or indirectly through our suppliers and business partners.

All directors, employees, contractors, and agency workers are required to support this policy and to act in a manner that upholds the dignity and rights of every individual. Any breach of this policy is treated as a serious matter and may result in disciplinary action, termination of contracts, or referral to the relevant authorities.

Our Business and Supply Chain

Man With a Van Holland Park provides transport, removal, and related services. Our supply chain includes vehicle hire and maintenance providers, fuel suppliers, equipment and packaging suppliers, facilities management services, and employment or recruitment agencies.

We understand that certain areas of our supply chain may present higher risks, particularly where labour-intensive or subcontracted services are involved. We therefore seek to engage with suppliers who demonstrate strong ethical standards, transparent labour practices, and a willingness to collaborate on the prevention of modern slavery.

Supplier Standards and Audits

We expect all suppliers and business partners to share our commitment to preventing modern slavery. As part of our supplier due diligence, we communicate our zero-tolerance stance and require confirmation that suppliers comply with relevant labour, employment, and human rights legislation in the jurisdictions where they operate.

Where appropriate, we conduct supplier audits or request evidence of existing audits, certifications, or policies that address modern slavery and ethical labour practices. These may include on-site inspections, questionnaires, and review of documented policies relating to recruitment, working conditions, wages, and grievance mechanisms.

If any supplier is found to be involved in, or turning a blind eye to, modern slavery or human trafficking, we will take prompt action. This may include working with the supplier to implement corrective measures within clear timeframes or, where necessary, terminating the relationship.

Awareness, Training, and Responsibilities

Responsibility for overseeing and implementing this Modern Slavery Statement sits with the senior management team of Man With a Van Holland Park. They are accountable for ensuring that appropriate policies, procedures, and controls are in place and are periodically reviewed.

We promote awareness of modern slavery risks among our staff and key contractors. Training and guidance are provided where relevant to help individuals recognise indicators of exploitation, understand their responsibilities, and know how to respond to concerns.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Man With a Van Holland Park encourages the reporting of any suspicion, concern, or incident relating to modern slavery or human trafficking. Concerns can be raised through internal reporting channels, including direct escalation to line managers or senior management, or via existing whistleblowing procedures.

All reports are treated seriously and, as far as reasonably possible, confidentially. We will not tolerate any form of victimisation or retaliation against individuals who raise concerns in good faith, whether they are employees, contractors, or third parties. Reported concerns are investigated promptly, and appropriate action is taken based on the findings.

Monitoring, Review, and Continuous Improvement

We are committed to continually improving our approach to identifying, preventing, and addressing modern slavery risks. This Statement and the related procedures are reviewed at least annually, or more frequently if required by changes in legislation, guidance, or our business activities.

The annual review considers the effectiveness of our controls, feedback from audits, supplier performance, and any reported incidents or concerns. Where necessary, we update our policies, training, and due diligence processes to strengthen protections and enhance transparency.

This Modern Slavery Statement reflects the position of Man With a Van Holland Park at the date of publication and is approved by the companys senior management, who are responsible for its implementation across the business.
