Modern Slavery Statement
Removal Van Fulham Modern Slavery Commitment
Removal Van Fulham is fully committed to conducting its business in an ethical, transparent, and responsible manner. We recognise that modern slavery, including forced labour, human trafficking, servitude, and child labour, is a serious global issue that can affect any sector or supply chain. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to identify, prevent, and address the risk of modern slavery in our operations and supply chains.
This statement applies to all employees, agency workers, contractors, and suppliers engaged by Removal Van Fulham across all locations in which we operate.
Zero-Tolerance Approach to Modern Slavery
Removal Van Fulham has a strict zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. We are committed to acting with integrity in all business dealings and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure that modern slavery is not taking place within our own business or in any of our supply chains.
We expect the same high standards from all our suppliers, subcontractors, and business partners. Our procurement and onboarding processes are designed to ensure that those who work with us share our values and our commitment to respecting human rights and fair labour practices.
Our Business and Supply Chains
Removal Van Fulham provides removal, transportation, and associated logistical services. Our supply chains include providers of vehicles, fuel, equipment, packaging materials, storage facilities, and labour-related services. While our sector is not typically considered high risk, we acknowledge that no supply chain is free from the potential risk of modern slavery, and we remain vigilant and proactive.
Supplier Standards and Audits
We maintain clear standards for suppliers and contractors, which include compliance with all applicable labour, employment, and human rights laws. Suppliers are required to ensure that they do not use forced, bonded, or involuntary labour, and that workers are employed of their own free will and are free to leave employment upon reasonable notice.
To support this, we conduct risk-based supplier due diligence and audits. This may include review of policies and procedures, verification of worker documentation, and checks on labour practices, particularly for higher risk categories such as labour agencies and overseas suppliers. Where concerns are identified, we work with suppliers on corrective action plans. Where a supplier is unwilling or unable to remedy concerns relating to modern slavery, we reserve the right to terminate the relationship.
Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing
We encourage all employees, workers, and suppliers to report any suspicions or concerns relating to modern slavery or human rights abuses at the earliest possible stage. Concerns can be raised through line management, senior management, or established internal reporting channels. We are committed to treating all reports seriously, investigating them promptly, and taking appropriate action.
Removal Van Fulham does not tolerate victimisation of any person who raises a concern in good faith. All reports are handled sensitively, and confidentiality is respected as far as possible, consistent with the need to conduct a thorough investigation.
Training and Awareness
We provide appropriate training and guidance to relevant employees, particularly those involved in procurement, supplier management, and recruitment. This training covers the indicators of modern slavery, how to identify potential risks, and how to report concerns. We also communicate our expectations to suppliers to help build awareness and drive continuous improvement throughout our supply chains.
Monitoring, Review, and Continuous Improvement
We are committed to continuous improvement in our approach to tackling modern slavery. We regularly review our policies, risk assessments, and due diligence processes to enhance their effectiveness and to respond to changing risks and regulations.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually by the leadership of Removal Van Fulham. The review considers any incidents, audit findings, changes in our business activities, and developments in best practice. Where necessary, we update our procedures and communicate these changes across our organisation and to relevant suppliers.
By maintaining a zero-tolerance stance, robust supplier audits, clear reporting channels, and an annual review process, Removal Van Fulham strives to ensure that modern slavery has no place in our business or our supply chains.
