Modern Slavery Statement

Enfield Man and Van Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the actions Enfield Man and Van has taken and continues to take to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking from occurring within our operations and supply chains. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and to implementing effective systems and controls to ensure modern slavery is not taking place.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

Enfield Man and Van has a clear zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour in any form. We recognise that modern slavery is a crime and a fundamental violation of human rights. We are committed to ensuring that all our business activities are conducted responsibly, that workers are treated with dignity and respect, and that their rights are upheld at all times.

All employees, contractors, and those working on our behalf are expected to share our commitment. Any breach of this policy is considered a serious matter and may result in disciplinary action or termination of the business relationship.

Our Operations and Supply Chain

Enfield Man and Van provides transport, removals, and related services. Our supply chain includes, but is not limited to, vehicle hire and maintenance providers, fuel suppliers, equipment and packaging suppliers, recruitment agencies, and other service providers that support the day-to-day running of our business.

We recognise that certain sectors and geographical areas may present higher risks of modern slavery. We are committed to identifying and assessing these risks in relation to our own operations and our suppliers, with particular focus on labour practices, recruitment processes, and subcontracting arrangements.

Supplier Standards and Audits

We expect all suppliers and business partners to uphold the same high standards that we set for ourselves. As part of our supplier due diligence, we seek to engage only with organisations that share our commitment to preventing modern slavery.

Enfield Man and Van is developing and implementing proportionate supplier audit processes. These may include the review of supplier policies and procedures, requests for written confirmations of compliance with modern slavery legislation, and on-site visits where appropriate. Where we identify potential risks or areas for improvement, we will work collaboratively with suppliers to address them. If a supplier fails to take adequate steps to remediate concerns, we reserve the right to reconsider or terminate the business relationship.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We encourage a culture of openness where concerns about modern slavery or unethical practices can be raised without fear of retaliation. All employees, agency workers, contractors, and suppliers are encouraged to report any suspicion of modern slavery or exploitation that they encounter in relation to our business or supply chains.

Concerns can be raised directly with line management or designated senior personnel within Enfield Man and Van. Reports will be treated confidentially as far as is reasonably practicable and will be investigated promptly and fairly. We will take appropriate action in response to any substantiated concerns, which may include notifying relevant authorities and supporting any ensuing investigations.

Training and Awareness

Enfield Man and Van is committed to increasing awareness of modern slavery risks throughout the organisation. Relevant employees, particularly those involved in procurement, recruitment, and supplier management, will receive guidance on identifying potential indicators of modern slavery and on the correct procedures for raising and responding to concerns.

We also seek to promote understanding of our zero-tolerance stance among suppliers and business partners, making clear our expectations and the standards we require.

Monitoring, Governance, and Annual Review

This Modern Slavery Statement is overseen by the senior management of Enfield Man and Van, who are responsible for ensuring its implementation and effectiveness. We monitor compliance with this statement through our internal controls, supplier assessments, and review of any reported concerns.

We are committed to continuous improvement and will review this statement every year, or more frequently if necessary, to reflect changes in legislation, best practice, or the nature of our operations and supply chains. Any updates will be approved at a senior level and communicated internally and externally as appropriate.

This statement reflects the position and commitments of Enfield Man and Van for the current financial year and demonstrates our ongoing dedication to preventing modern slavery in all its forms.
