Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Enfield
Man With Van Enfield is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with zero tolerance for modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, or any form of exploitation. This statement sets out the principles that guide our operations and the steps we take to reduce risk across our business and supply chain.
As a trusted Man With Van Enfield service provider, we recognise that transport and logistics activities can involve third-party labour, subcontractors, and procurement relationships. For that reason, we maintain clear standards to ensure that every part of our business reflects respect for human rights, fair treatment, and lawful employment practices.
Our commitment applies to all employees, managers, contractors, and suppliers. We expect everyone associated with Man With Van Enfield to comply with applicable labour laws, uphold safe working conditions, and avoid any practice that may conceal abuse, coercion, debt bondage, or child labour.
We operate a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery in all forms. This means that any evidence, suspicion, or credible concern will be treated seriously and investigated promptly. Where a breach is identified, we will take appropriate action, which may include terminating a business relationship, reporting to the relevant authorities, and reviewing internal controls to prevent recurrence.
To support this policy, Man With Van Enfield undertakes risk-based due diligence before engaging suppliers and service partners. We consider factors such as geographic risk, labour practices, use of subcontracting, and the nature of work being performed. Suppliers are expected to confirm that their own operations are free from forced labour and that they apply the same standards throughout their own supply chains.
Our procurement process includes contract clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery principles. We may request written declarations, supporting records, and evidence of lawful recruitment and employment. If concerns arise, our team will escalate them immediately and, where necessary, suspend new work until the issue is resolved.
Supplier audits form a key part of our approach. These audits may be scheduled or unannounced, depending on the assessed level of risk. Audits help us review labour records, subcontractor arrangements, wage practices, working hours, and any indicators of coercion or unfair treatment.
Where an audit identifies non-compliance, we require corrective action within a defined timeframe. If the problem is serious or repeated, we may end the relationship. We also monitor suppliers through ongoing reviews, especially where the supplier provides manpower, transport support, packing services, or other labour-intensive assistance linked to Man With Van Enfield activities.
We expect our supply chain partners to conduct their own checks and to maintain transparent records. This shared responsibility helps strengthen protection against exploitation and supports a culture of accountability.
Reporting channels are available so that concerns can be raised safely and without fear of retaliation. Employees, contractors, and suppliers are encouraged to report suspected modern slavery, unsafe labour practices, or unethical recruitment through internal reporting routes and management escalation processes. All reports are treated confidentially and reviewed with care.
We make it clear that retaliation, intimidation, or punishment for raising a genuine concern will not be tolerated. Anyone who identifies a potential issue is expected to act promptly, and managers are responsible for ensuring that concerns are recorded, reviewed, and addressed appropriately.
Investigation findings are documented, and lessons learned are used to improve controls. This includes updating supplier checks, refining training, and strengthening the oversight of higher-risk activities connected with Man With Van Enfield.
This statement is reviewed annually to ensure that it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with legal and ethical expectations. The annual review considers changes in operations, supplier risk, industry conditions, and any incidents or concerns raised during the year.
Where improvement is needed, we will update policies, improve audit activity, and reinforce training so that our approach remains practical and robust. Senior management is responsible for overseeing this review and for ensuring that anti-slavery commitments continue to shape day-to-day decisions.
Man With Van Enfield believes that meaningful action, vigilance, and accountability are essential to preventing modern slavery. Through our zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, reporting channels, and annual review, we aim to protect people, strengthen trust, and uphold the highest standards of ethical business practice.
