Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Brompton

Man With Van Brompton is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with zero tolerance for modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour, or any form of exploitation. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the principles that guide our operations and our expectations of every person and organisation we work with. As a trusted Man With Van Brompton service provider, we recognise that our role carries a duty to protect human dignity throughout our supply chain and business relationships.

We acknowledge that risks may exist in transport, storage, cleaning, subcontracted logistics, and the supply of goods and services. For this reason, our approach is based on prevention, vigilance, and continuous improvement. The company requires all staff and suppliers to act in line with this statement and to uphold ethical employment practices. Any breach of these standards is treated seriously and may lead to termination of a contract, removal from approved supplier status, or further action where appropriate.

Our modern slavery controls are designed to identify and reduce risk before it can affect people or operations. We expect managers to remain alert to warning signs such as restricted movement, withheld identity documents, excessive working hours, or unusual recruitment arrangements. The Man With Van Brompton leadership team promotes awareness through internal communication, training where needed, and regular review of business practices. We believe prevention is strongest when everyone understands their responsibility to speak up and act early.

Supplier Standards and Audits

Supplier due diligence is a core part of our commitment. Before engaging new suppliers, we assess their labour practices, reputation, and ability to meet our standards. Existing suppliers are reviewed on an ongoing basis, and higher-risk relationships may be subject to more frequent checks. Our supplier audits may include document reviews, self-assessment questionnaires, and verification of employment and subcontracting arrangements. Where concerns arise, corrective action plans are requested and monitored closely.

We expect every supplier to comply with applicable labour laws, prohibit the use of forced or trafficked labour, and maintain fair working conditions. This applies equally to direct suppliers and subcontractors involved in supporting Man With Van Brompton activities. If a supplier fails to cooperate with an audit or cannot demonstrate adequate safeguards, we reserve the right to suspend business until concerns are resolved. This position reflects our unwavering stance that commercial convenience must never outweigh human rights.

Our procurement process is intentionally cautious. Contracts may include clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery obligations, notification of material changes, and cooperation with investigations. We also encourage suppliers to maintain their own policies and controls, creating a wider culture of accountability. By embedding these requirements into everyday operations, Man With Van Brompton strengthens resilience against exploitation and reduces the risk of hidden abuse within the supply chain.

Reporting, Response, and Governance

We provide clear reporting channels so that concerns can be raised promptly and without fear of retaliation. Concerns may be reported internally through line management, senior management, or designated compliance routes. Reports may relate to suspected exploitation, unsafe recruitment, coercion, wage withholding, or any behaviour inconsistent with this statement. All reports are treated confidentially where possible, investigated carefully, and escalated where necessary.

Any allegation or indication of modern slavery triggers an immediate review. Our response may involve reviewing records, speaking with relevant parties, increasing audit frequency, or ending a supplier relationship. We aim to protect potential victims and prevent further harm. Man With Van Brompton also expects staff and contractors to cooperate fully with investigations and to maintain accurate records that support lawful and transparent business conduct.

Governance oversight sits with senior management, who are responsible for ensuring that this statement remains meaningful in practice. They review risk areas, monitor supplier performance, and ensure that policy decisions reflect our ethical commitments. In addition, we promote awareness of labour rights and responsible conduct across the organisation so that modern slavery risks are recognised as a business issue, not a distant concern.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement will be reviewed annually to ensure it remains current, effective, and aligned with legal requirements and operational realities. Each annual review considers supplier audit outcomes, incidents raised through reporting channels, training needs, and any changes in the risk profile of the business. Where improvement opportunities are identified, we update procedures, strengthen oversight, and refine our safeguards accordingly.

Man With Van Brompton is committed to continual improvement in the prevention of modern slavery. Our objective is not only compliance, but also the active promotion of fair treatment, lawful employment, and responsible sourcing. Through regular review, disciplined oversight, and a consistent zero-tolerance policy, Man With Van Brompton aims to ensure that its services are delivered with integrity and respect for human rights.
