Move Van Modern Slavery Statement

Move Van is committed to upholding human rights and preventing exploitation across our operations. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our zero-tolerance approach to slavery, forced labour and human trafficking in all forms. It describes our policies, risk assessment processes and the steps we will take to ensure our anti-slavery obligations are met. Our anti-slavery stance applies to every part of the organisation and to all supply chains that support our moving, logistics and transportation services.

We maintain a clear zero-tolerance policy against any modern slavery practice or exploitative behaviour. Managers and staff receive regular training so they can identify signs of coercion, debt bondage, deceptive recruitment or other abuse. The policy requires prompt action when concerns arise and mandates protection for any worker alleging exploitation. Our leadership team enforces standards that reflect our ethical commitment and legal responsibilities under modern slavery and human trafficking laws.

Compliance is supported by a dedicated code of conduct and supplier requirements. Our modern slavery policy is integrated into procurement contracts and tender evaluations, requiring suppliers to confirm they do not engage in forced labour. We use a risk-based approach to target higher-risk regions and services, and we require documented evidence of lawful employment practices from key partners.

To verify compliance we conduct systematic supplier audits and assessments. These audits combine desk reviews, on-site visits and third-party verifications tailored to the level of risk. Audits evaluate recruitment processes, wage records, working hours, accommodation conditions and the use of recruitment agents. Where issues are discovered, we require corrective action plans and follow-up checks until satisfactory remediation is confirmed.

Our procurement and compliance teams maintain a supplier risk register and escalation protocols. We apply enhanced due diligence for subcontractors involved in labour-intensive or outsourced services. If a supplier cannot remediate identified non-compliance, Move Van reserves the right to suspend or terminate contracts to protect workers and maintain ethical standards across our operations.

We promote transparency through clear reporting channels for employees, subcontractors and third parties to raise concerns. Reports can be made anonymously or confidentially through designated internal hotlines and secure reporting portals. All reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and acted upon in line with our whistleblowing and safeguarding procedures. We ensure complainants are protected from retaliation.

Remediation, Training and Continuous Improvement

When modern slavery risks are identified, Move Van implements remediation plans focused on worker safety, fair compensation and prevention of recurrence. This can include working with suppliers to improve employment contracts, supporting affected workers and liaising with appropriate authorities. Our approach emphasises victim-centred remedies and long-term corrective measures rather than only contractual penalties.

We provide ongoing training for staff and contractors to strengthen awareness of the anti-slavery statement and to build capacity to detect exploitation. Training modules are refreshed annually and include practical guidance for procurement teams, site managers and frontline staff. We also incorporate lessons from audits and industry best practice into our training curriculum.

Annual Review and Accountability

Move Van publishes an annual review of our modern slavery and human trafficking statement and progress. The review assesses policy effectiveness, audit outcomes, incidents reported and remediation actions taken. Senior management signs off on the annual report and is accountable for continuous improvement in modern slavery compliance. Our commitment to an ethical supply chain is enduring: we will continue to strengthen controls, expand supplier engagement and ensure that our anti-slavery measures evolve to address emerging risks.
