Modern Slavery Statement for Movers Finsbury Park
This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by Movers Finsbury Park to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to respect human rights and to act ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships.
Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy
Movers Finsbury Park maintains a clear zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking. This applies to all forms of forced labour, debt bondage, child labour, servitude, and any other exploitation of individuals. We are committed to ensuring that modern slavery has no place in our business or in the services we procure from others.
All directors, managers, employees, contractors, and suppliers are expected to uphold this commitment. Breaches of this policy will be treated seriously and may result in termination of contracts, working arrangements, or other appropriate action.
Our Business and Supply Chain
Movers Finsbury Park operates within the removals and related services sector. Our supply chain includes providers of transportation, storage, packaging materials, equipment, facilities management, professional services, and temporary labour. We acknowledge that certain areas of our supply chain may present a higher risk of modern slavery, particularly where low-skilled or temporary labour is involved or where suppliers operate in sectors or regions with weaker labour protections.
We are committed to working only with suppliers and partners who share our values and can demonstrate responsible labour practices and compliance with applicable laws.
Supplier Due Diligence and Audits
To uphold our zero-tolerance stance, Movers Finsbury Park conducts due diligence on key suppliers and seeks assurances that they operate ethically. This process may include requesting information on their labour practices, policies, and procedures to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking.
We aim to prioritise suppliers that can evidence robust employment practices, such as the use of written contracts, fair wages, and safe working conditions. Where we identify higher-risk suppliers or categories, we may undertake more detailed reviews or on-site assessments, either directly or through trusted third parties.
If any supplier is found to be involved in modern slavery or human trafficking, or to be in serious breach of our standards, we will take steps which may include corrective action plans, suspension of services, or termination of the relationship.
Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing
Movers Finsbury Park encourages everyone connected to our business, including employees, agency workers, contractors, and suppliers, to report any concerns relating to modern slavery or unethical labour practices. We are committed to ensuring that individuals can raise concerns without fear of retaliation or adverse consequences.
Concerns can be raised with line managers, senior management, or through internal reporting mechanisms made available within the company. Reports will be treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled as sensitively and confidentially as circumstances permit. Where appropriate, issues will be escalated to the leadership team for further action.
Training and Awareness
We recognise that awareness and understanding are vital in identifying and preventing modern slavery. Movers Finsbury Park seeks to ensure that relevant staff, particularly those involved in procurement, recruitment, and supplier management, understand the risks of modern slavery and the signs of potential exploitation.
We aim to incorporate modern slavery awareness into staff inductions, refresher training, and internal communications, reinforcing our expectations and explaining how concerns can be reported.
Monitoring, Review, and Continuous Improvement
Movers Finsbury Park is committed to regularly reviewing and improving its approach to tackling modern slavery. This statement and the associated internal procedures will be reviewed at least annually, or more frequently if there are significant changes to our business, regulatory environment, or risk profile.
As part of the annual review, we will consider feedback from employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders, as well as any incidents or concerns raised. We will assess the effectiveness of our measures, supplier checks, and reporting channels, and seek opportunities to strengthen our controls and due diligence processes.
This Modern Slavery Statement has been approved by the leadership of Movers Finsbury Park and is intended to demonstrate our ongoing commitment to ethical conduct, respect for human rights, and the prevention of modern slavery in all aspects of our operations.
