Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Fulham
At Man With Van Fulham, we are committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to help prevent forced labour, human trafficking, child labour, and all forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can occur in many industries, including transport, logistics, cleaning, maintenance, and subcontracted services, and we take our responsibilities seriously.
Our zero-tolerance policy is the foundation of our approach. We do not tolerate any form of slavery, servitude, debt bondage, or exploitation in any part of our business. This applies to all employees, contractors, partners, and suppliers associated with Man With Van Fulham. We expect everyone working with us to act ethically, comply with applicable laws, and uphold our standards for fair treatment and safe working conditions.
To support this commitment, we maintain clear internal controls designed to identify and reduce risk. These measures include due diligence checks during supplier selection, written expectations in supplier agreements, and regular monitoring of higher-risk relationships. Where appropriate, we ask suppliers of the Man With Van Fulham service network to confirm that they share our stance on ethical labour practices and can demonstrate their own safeguards against exploitation.
Supplier oversight is a key part of our prevention strategy. We carry out supplier audits and reviews to assess working conditions, recruitment practices, payment arrangements, and record-keeping. When concerns arise, we investigate promptly and may require corrective action, additional documentation, or termination of the relationship if standards are not met. Our goal is not only to detect risk, but also to encourage continuous improvement across the supply chain.
We also provide training and guidance to relevant staff so they can recognise warning signs such as withheld identity documents, unusual payment deductions, restricted movement, or workers appearing fearful or controlled. By increasing awareness, Fulham man and van teams are better placed to spot and report concerns early. We understand that prevention depends on vigilance, accountability, and a shared understanding of what modern slavery may look like in practice.
Reporting concerns is essential to our framework. We encourage anyone connected with our business to raise issues in good faith if they suspect exploitation, unsafe labour practices, or a breach of this statement. Reports may be made through internal management channels or via designated safeguarding routes. Every report is treated seriously, handled discreetly, and assessed without prejudice. We do not allow retaliation against anyone who raises a concern honestly.
We believe that a strong reporting culture helps protect vulnerable workers and strengthens trust throughout the organisation. If a concern is substantiated, we take proportionate action, which may include further investigation, supplier review, staff retraining, or cooperation with relevant authorities where necessary. This approach reflects the values of Man With Van Fulham and supports our wider duty to operate responsibly.
Our policy is reviewed at least annually to ensure it remains effective, current, and aligned with legal requirements and operational risks. During the annual review, we assess supplier performance, incident trends, training needs, and any changes to our business model that may affect exposure to modern slavery risks. Where improvements are identified, we update our procedures and strengthen controls accordingly.
This Modern Slavery Statement confirms that Man With Van Fulham is committed to ethical business conduct and continuous improvement. Through our zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, reporting channels, and annual review, we aim to reduce the risk of exploitation and promote fair, transparent, and responsible working practices across our operations and supply chain.
