Modern Slavery Statement — Knightsbridge Man with Van Commitment
Knightsbridge Man with Van is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms across our operations and supply chain. This statement sets out our zero-tolerance policy towards forced labour, bonded labour, and any form of exploitation. We affirm that everyone involved with our Knightsbridge man with a van service shall be treated with dignity and respect, and we will not tolerate any contravention of human rights in the course of our business.
Our policy applies to all employees, contractors, subcontractors and suppliers engaged by Knightsbridge man & van services. We require that all partners comply with local and international laws on labour standards. This declaration is supported by senior management and is a core element of our corporate responsibility and procurement strategy. We use clear contractual clauses and expectations to ensure compliance across every stage of transport, packing and relocation activities.
To operationalise supplier audits and due diligence we have implemented the following measures:
- Regular supplier audits and spot checks to verify working conditions, documentation and wages.
- Risk-based assessments focusing on high-risk suppliers and third-party contractors.
- Contractual terms requiring compliance with our modern slavery standards and the right to audit.
Reporting Channels and Employee Awareness
We maintain multiple reporting channels to ensure concerns about forced labour can be raised safely and confidentially. These reporting channels include anonymous reporting pathways and internal escalation processes that protect whistleblowers from retaliation. All reports are treated seriously, recorded and investigated by designated personnel. Our reporting approach is designed to be accessible to employees on the front line of our moving and removals operations.
Training and awareness are mandatory for employees and subcontractors who work for the Knightsbridge removals and logistics operations. Staff receive training on how to identify signs of exploitation, how to use reporting channels and what remediation steps will be taken. We place emphasis on continuous education so that everyone engaged with our Knightsbridge moving service understands their responsibilities and rights.
We also maintain a suite of policies and procedures, including recruitment checks and identity verification, to prevent the use of illegal or coerced labour. Where concerns are identified, we commit to proportionate remediation including collaboration with local authorities and support organisations to ensure victims receive safe and effective assistance.
Monitoring, Governance and Annual Review
Governance of modern slavery risk sits with senior leadership and is reviewed by our internal compliance team. We monitor the effectiveness of our policies through periodic audits, supplier performance reviews and key performance indicators that track incidents and corrective actions. Supplier audits are scheduled and executed with documented findings and follow-up procedures to ensure persistent issues are addressed.
We will continue to refine our supplier due diligence for the Knightsbridge man & van network, expanding checks where necessary and leveraging third-party expertise to assess complex supply chains. Our approach emphasises prevention, early detection and swift corrective action. We document all audit outcomes and require suppliers to implement agreed remediation plans.
An annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and our policies will be conducted to evaluate progress, reflect on lessons learned and update controls. The review will consider changes in legislation, emerging risks in the removals sector and the effectiveness of our reporting channels, training and audits. Following the annual review, revised procedures will be communicated across our workforce and supply chain to strengthen protections against modern slavery.
In conclusion, Knightsbridge Man with Van reaffirms its uncompromising stance: a zero-tolerance policy to modern slavery, robust supplier audits, secure reporting channels and a formal annual review process provide the framework for continuous improvement and accountability in our operations.
