Modern Slavery Statement

Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement

This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement sets out the steps taken by Removal Company Marylebone to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation within our operations and supply chains. As a responsible removals and logistics provider, we are committed to acting ethically, with integrity, and in full compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

Removal Company Marylebone has a clear zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. We do not and will not knowingly engage with any individual, organisation, or supply chain partner that is involved in, or complicit with, such practices. Our leadership team is responsible for ensuring that this commitment is embedded across our business and reflected in the conduct of our employees, contractors, and suppliers.

We expect everyone working with or on behalf of our company to share this commitment. Any breach of this policy is treated as a serious matter and may result in disciplinary action, termination of contracts, and, where appropriate, reporting to relevant authorities.

Our Business and Supply Chain

Removal Company Marylebone provides residential and commercial removal, packing, and storage services. Our supply chain includes providers of vehicles, fuel, equipment, packing materials, storage facilities, maintenance services, and labour support. We recognise that elements of the logistics and labour sectors may present heightened risks of exploitation, and we therefore apply enhanced scrutiny to the sourcing and management of these services.

Supplier Standards and Audits

We seek to work only with suppliers and contractors who uphold ethical standards consistent with our own. As part of our supplier onboarding and ongoing management, we communicate our zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and require confirmation that suppliers comply with all relevant employment, labour, and human rights laws.

We use a risk-based approach to conduct checks and audits on suppliers, focusing on those operating in higher-risk sectors or regions, or where the use of temporary, migrant, or subcontracted labour is more prevalent. These audits may include review of policies, workforce documentation, training records, and, where appropriate, on-site visits and worker interviews conducted in a respectful and confidential manner.

Where concerns are identified, we expect suppliers to take prompt corrective action. Continued non-compliance may result in the suspension or termination of the business relationship.

Employee Awareness, Training, and Reporting Channels

We strive to create a working environment in which all staff feel confident to raise concerns about potential exploitation or unethical behaviour. Employees are made aware of the signs of modern slavery that may be relevant to removal and logistics operations, including indicators of forced labour, restricted freedom of movement, or coerced work.

Concerns or suspicions can be reported through internal reporting channels, including direct escalation to line managers or senior management. We make clear that reports can be raised in good faith without fear of retaliation, victimisation, or adverse impact on employment. All reports are treated seriously, reviewed promptly, and investigated where appropriate.

Due Diligence and Risk Management

Our due diligence processes are designed to identify, assess, and mitigate the risk of modern slavery across our operations and supply chains. These processes include pre-engagement checks on suppliers, contractual expectations on labour practices, and ongoing monitoring of performance and compliance.

We continue to refine our risk assessment methods, taking into account sector guidance, changes in law, and emerging best practice. We recognise that modern slavery risks can evolve over time and that continuous improvement is essential.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

Removal Company Marylebone is committed to ongoing improvement in our approach to preventing modern slavery. We periodically review our policies, training, and supplier management processes to ensure they remain effective and proportionate to the risks we face.

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least once every year by our management team. The review considers our performance over the preceding period, feedback from employees and stakeholders, audit findings, and any incidents or concerns raised. Where necessary, we update our procedures and communication to strengthen our safeguards and further reduce the risk of exploitation within our business.

This statement has been approved by the leadership of Removal Company Marylebone and reflects our continuing commitment to ethical conduct, respect for human rights, and the elimination of modern slavery in all its forms.
