Modern Slavery Statement

Modern Slavery Statement for Removal Companies Belgravia

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by Removal Companies Belgravia to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to uphold human rights and to ensure that our services are delivered ethically and lawfully.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

Removal Companies Belgravia maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. We are committed to ensuring that no part of our business or supply chain is involved in practices that deprive individuals of their freedom or dignity. This commitment is supported by our leadership team and is embedded in our company culture, policies, and day-to-day decision making.

All employees, contractors, and suppliers are expected to adhere to this policy and to act with integrity, fairness, and respect. Any breach of this policy is treated as a serious matter and may result in termination of employment or business relationships, as well as notification to relevant authorities where appropriate.

Our Business and Supply Chain

Removal Companies Belgravia provides residential and commercial removal, relocation, and associated services. Our operations rely on a network of suppliers, including vehicle providers, packaging and materials suppliers, storage facilities, cleaning and maintenance contractors, and temporary labour agencies.

We recognise that certain areas of our supply chain may be more exposed to risks of modern slavery, particularly where temporary or low-skilled labour is used or where goods and services originate from higher-risk regions. We work to identify, assess, and address these risks through transparent and responsible procurement practices.

Supplier Standards and Audits

We expect all suppliers and subcontractors to share our commitment to preventing modern slavery. Our supplier standards include requirements for lawful employment practices, fair pay, safe working conditions, and respect for workers’ rights. Where appropriate, suppliers are required to confirm that they do not engage in forced, bonded, or involuntary labour and that they have measures in place to prevent these practices within their own operations and supply chains.

Removal Companies Belgravia conducts risk-based supplier assessments and audits. Higher-risk suppliers may be subject to more detailed due diligence, which can include site visits, review of employment practices, and requests for supporting documentation. If a supplier is unable or unwilling to meet our standards, we may suspend or terminate the relationship and seek alternatives that align with our ethical requirements.

Reporting Concerns and Whistleblowing Channels

We encourage all employees, workers, and third parties to raise concerns about potential modern slavery or unethical practices without fear of retaliation. Concerns can be reported to line managers, senior management, or through internal reporting channels made available within the business.

Reports may relate to suspected exploitation, questionable recruitment practices, inadequate working conditions, or any behaviour that appears inconsistent with our zero-tolerance stance. All reports are taken seriously, treated confidentially as far as practicable, and investigated promptly. Where necessary, we will cooperate with law enforcement and relevant agencies to address identified issues.

Training and Awareness

We provide appropriate information and guidance to our teams so they can recognise indicators of modern slavery and understand how to respond. Managers and staff involved in procurement, recruitment, and supplier management receive additional guidance on assessing risk, conducting due diligence, and escalating concerns.

By increasing awareness across our business, we aim to create a culture where modern slavery risks are identified early and addressed decisively.

Monitoring, Governance, and Annual Review

Responsibility for overseeing our approach to modern slavery rests with senior management, who review the effectiveness of our measures and identify opportunities for improvement. We monitor changes in legislation, industry standards, and best practice to ensure our approach remains robust and relevant.

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually and updated as needed to reflect changes in our operations, risk profile, or legal requirements. The updated statement is approved by senior management and communicated within the organisation and to relevant external stakeholders.

Removal Companies Belgravia remains committed to continuous improvement in the prevention of modern slavery and to promoting ethical conduct across all aspects of our business.
