Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement

Man with Van Enfield is committed to conducting all aspects of its operations in an honest, ethical, and transparent manner. We recognise that modern slavery and human trafficking are serious crimes and fundamental violations of human rights. This statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our own operations and throughout our supply chains.

Our Business and Supply Chain

Man with Van Enfield provides local and regional transport, removal, and delivery services. Our activities rely on a network of drivers, support staff, vehicle hire companies, fuel providers, equipment suppliers, and other service partners. We understand that risks related to modern slavery can arise in logistics, temporary labour, and outsourced services, and we are committed to identifying and addressing these risks proactively.

Zero-Tolerance Approach to Modern Slavery

We operate a strict zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, and human trafficking. This applies to everyone working for or with Man with Van Enfield, including employees, contractors, agency workers, and suppliers. We will not knowingly engage with any individual or organisation involved in modern slavery and will take immediate action to terminate relationships where credible concerns cannot be satisfactorily resolved.

Policies and Governance

Our leadership team is responsible for ensuring that robust anti-slavery measures are integrated into our day-to-day operations. We maintain clear expectations around lawful and ethical conduct, fair treatment, and respect for human rights. These expectations are communicated through our internal policies, contractor terms, and supplier requirements, which emphasise safe working conditions, voluntary employment, and lawful pay and working hours.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We seek to work only with suppliers and partners who share our commitment to tackling modern slavery. As part of our supplier due diligence, we assess the ethical and labour standards of key suppliers before entering into or renewing business relationships. Where appropriate, we carry out periodic audits or request written confirmations from suppliers regarding their own anti-slavery practices, workforce conditions, and compliance processes. If any supplier is unable or unwilling to demonstrate adequate controls, we will review, restrict, or end our relationship with them.

Risk Assessment and Management

We identify and assess potential modern slavery risks by considering the type of service provided, the geographic location, the use of subcontracted or agency labour, and the level of visibility we have over working practices. Higher-risk relationships receive increased scrutiny, including more frequent reviews or targeted questions regarding recruitment, pay, and worker welfare. Where we identify areas of concern, we work collaboratively with relevant parties to implement corrective measures or, where necessary, discontinue the engagement.

Reporting Concerns and Whistleblowing

Everyone associated with Man with Van Enfield is encouraged to speak up if they suspect that modern slavery or human trafficking may be occurring in any part of our business or supply chain. Concerns can be raised directly with management or through established reporting channels within the organisation. Reports will be treated seriously, handled sensitively, and investigated promptly. We will not tolerate any form of retaliation against individuals who raise concerns in good faith.

Training and Awareness

We aim to ensure that relevant personnel understand the risks of modern slavery and how to identify and respond to potential indicators. Training and guidance are provided to key staff involved in procurement, supplier management, and operational oversight so that they can recognise warning signs, ask appropriate questions, and escalate concerns effectively.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

Man with Van Enfield is committed to continually improving its approach to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking. We regularly review our policies, procedures, and supplier controls to ensure they remain effective and proportionate to our business activities. This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement is reviewed, updated, and approved on an annual basis, or more frequently if required by changes in legislation or our operations.

This statement reflects the position and commitments of Man with Van Enfield for the current financial year and demonstrates our ongoing determination to help eradicate modern slavery in all its forms.
