Removal Company Haringey Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps Removal Company Haringey takes to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to uphold human rights and to conduct our business in a manner that respects the dignity and wellbeing of every individual.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

Removal Company Haringey maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, bonded labour, child labour, servitude, and human trafficking. This applies to every aspect of our business, from our direct workforce to the suppliers and contractors who support our services.

We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all business dealings and relationships. We expect the same high standards from everyone we work with and will not knowingly engage with any organisation involved in modern slavery or human trafficking.

Scope of This Statement

This statement covers the activities of Removal Company Haringey, including our core removal and relocation services, storage operations, logistics support, and any related services provided under our brand. It applies to all employees, agency workers, contractors, and suppliers who are involved in delivering our services.

Risk Assessment and Due Diligence

We assess the risk of modern slavery across our business and supply chains, paying particular attention to higher risk areas such as temporary labour, sub-contracted transport services, packaging materials, and cleaning and maintenance services. Where higher risks are identified, we apply enhanced due diligence measures to ensure that labour standards are being upheld.

Our due diligence processes include reviewing the labour practices of suppliers, considering their geographic location, the nature of the work, and the vulnerability of workers potentially involved. We aim to build long-term relationships with reputable suppliers who share our values and commitment to ethical conduct.

Supplier Standards and Audits

All suppliers are expected to comply with our zero-tolerance stance on modern slavery and to operate in line with applicable labour and human rights laws. We communicate our expectations clearly when establishing new supplier relationships and when renewing existing contracts.

We reserve the right to carry out audits of our suppliers, either announced or unannounced, to verify compliance with our standards. These audits may include reviewing employment records, checking right-to-work documentation, speaking with workers where appropriate, and assessing working conditions. Any supplier found to be in breach of our modern slavery requirements will be required to implement immediate corrective actions or risk termination of the business relationship.

Training and Awareness

We provide appropriate guidance to relevant employees, especially those involved in recruitment, procurement, and supplier management, so they can recognise signs of modern slavery and understand our reporting procedures. Awareness of modern slavery risks is reinforced through internal communications and incorporation into relevant policies and procedures.

Reporting Concerns and Whistleblowing Channels

Removal Company Haringey encourages all employees, workers, suppliers, and other stakeholders to report any concerns or suspicions of modern slavery or unethical labour practices connected to our operations or supply chains. Concerns can be raised through established internal reporting channels or through line management, senior management, or other designated contacts within the company.

Reports can be made confidentially, and we do not tolerate any form of victimisation or retaliation against individuals who raise concerns in good faith. All reported concerns are taken seriously and investigated promptly, with appropriate remedial action taken where necessary.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

We recognise that tackling modern slavery is an ongoing process that requires continuous vigilance and improvement. Removal Company Haringey is committed to regularly reviewing and strengthening our policies, procedures, and risk assessment processes to address evolving risks in our sector and supply chains.

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least once every year to ensure it remains accurate, effective, and aligned with relevant legislation and best practice. Updates are approved by the company’s leadership, who retain ultimate responsibility for our approach to modern slavery and human trafficking.

Approval and Responsibility

This statement has been approved by the senior management of Removal Company Haringey, who are responsible for its implementation and for ensuring that adequate resources are made available to support our commitments. All employees and suppliers are expected to read, understand, and uphold the principles set out in this statement as part of our shared responsibility to combat modern slavery.
