Modern Slavery Statement for Manwithvan SW 10

Manwithvan SW 10 is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our operations. This Modern Slavery Statement (also referenced as our modern slavery policy and the Manwithvan SW10 statement) sets out the steps we take to identify, mitigate and remedy risks related to forced labour, exploitation and other forms of modern slavery across our business and supply chain. We operate a clear, zero-tolerance policy towards any form of coercion, debt bondage, involuntary servitude or human trafficking.

Our commitment applies to all colleagues, contractors, agency staff and any third parties delivering goods or services to Man with van SW10. We require compliance with our standards through contractual terms, procurement processes and active oversight. These expectations are embedded in our policies and communicated regularly through training and leadership messages.

Zero-Tolerance Policy and Expectations

The company maintains a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery. All employees, drivers, subcontractors and suppliers must adhere to this position. Any breach will trigger immediate investigation and proportionate action, up to and including termination of contracts and referral to the appropriate authorities. We make clear that this stance covers recruitment, working conditions, payment of wages, freedom of movement and the right to terminate employment without penalty.

Supply Chain Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

Manwithvan SW10 operates a risk-based supply chain due diligence program. Our approach assesses suppliers by country risk, sector exposure and business model. We conduct regular supplier audits and reviews to verify compliance with labour standards. Audit activity includes documentation checks, site visits where appropriate, worker interviews and verification of pay practices.

Audit findings are tracked and managed through corrective action plans. Suppliers are required to implement remedial measures within agreed timescales; continued non-compliance may result in contract cessation. Our procurement terms explicitly require adherence to anti-slavery standards and cooperation with audit processes.

Key elements of our supplier audit program include:

• Risk-based selection of suppliers for on-site and remote audits.
• Verification of identity checks, lawful contracts and transparent pay records.
• Follow-up audits and monitoring of remedial action plans.
• Use of contractual clauses to require compliance and allow audit access.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing: We provide multiple confidential reporting channels for employees, contractors and third parties to raise concerns about suspected modern slavery. Reports can be made through internal channels without fear of retaliation; all reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and handled in accordance with our non-retaliation policy. To encourage openness, we offer anonymous reporting and ensure that any victim of exploitation is treated with dignity and offered appropriate support.

Training, Awareness and Remediation: Training on modern slavery, indicators of exploitation and reporting procedures is delivered to relevant employees and frontline staff, including drivers and procurement teams. We also encourage supplier participation in awareness sessions. Where modern slavery risks are identified, Manwithvan SW 10 will prioritise victim protection, immediate remediation and corrective action with suppliers. Remediation may include ensuring safe employment transitions, back pay for underpayment and measures to prevent recurrence.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement: This modern slavery statement is reviewed at least annually by senior management and the board to assess effectiveness, update risk assessments and refine audit and training approaches. We commit to continual improvement in our policies, supplier engagement and remediation practices. The annual review evaluates performance indicators such as number of audits completed, issues identified, remediation outcomes and training reach. Where required, we will enhance our procedures and escalate matters to ensure our zero-tolerance position remains robust and actionable.

In conclusion, Manwithvan SW 10 is resolute in its commitment to eliminate modern slavery from its operations and supply chain. Through rigorous supplier audits, clear reporting channels, targeted training and a scheduled annual review, we aim to reduce risk, protect vulnerable workers and ensure enduring compliance with our Modern Slavery Statement principles.
