Modern Slavery Statement

Modern Slavery Statement for Removal Companies Enfield

This Modern Slavery Statement is made by Removal Companies Enfield in recognition of our responsibilities under the Modern Slavery Act and our broader commitment to ethical conduct. It sets out the steps we are taking to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

Removal Companies Enfield has a clear and unequivocal zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and all forms of exploitation. We are committed to conducting all aspects of our business in a manner that respects human rights and safeguards the welfare and dignity of every individual who works for or with us.

No form of modern slavery is acceptable in our own operations or in any part of our supply chain. We expect the same high standards from all our suppliers, subcontractors, and business partners, and we will not knowingly work with any organisation that does not share these values.

Our Business and Supply Chain

Removal Companies Enfield provides domestic and commercial removal, packing, and storage services in Enfield and surrounding areas. Our activities rely on a network of suppliers, including vehicle and equipment providers, packing material suppliers, facility services, and labour-only subcontractors.

We recognise that certain parts of our supply chain, such as temporary labour, logistics, and outsourced services, may carry a higher risk of labour exploitation. We are committed to identifying, assessing, and mitigating these risks through structured due diligence and ongoing monitoring.

Supplier Standards and Due Diligence

We require all suppliers and subcontractors to comply with applicable labour, employment, and human rights legislation and to operate in a way that is consistent with our zero-tolerance policy on modern slavery. As part of our onboarding and renewal processes, we assess suppliers on their ethical labour practices and their own approach to tackling modern slavery.

Suppliers are expected to confirm that they do not use forced, bonded, or involuntary labour and that they provide safe working conditions, fair wages, and lawful working hours. Where relevant, we may request copies of their own modern slavery policies or statements and supporting documentation.

Supplier Audits and Monitoring

To support our commitments, Removal Companies Enfield conducts proportionate and risk-based supplier audits. These may include questionnaires, requests for documentary evidence, and where appropriate, site visits or virtual reviews. The purpose of these audits is to verify compliance with our expectations and to identify any indicators of modern slavery or unethical labour practices.

Where non-compliance or areas of concern are identified, we will work collaboratively with suppliers to develop corrective action plans with clear timescales. In serious cases, or where a supplier is unwilling to address issues, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate the business relationship.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We encourage all employees, agency staff, subcontractors, and suppliers to report any concerns they may have about modern slavery, human trafficking, or unethical labour practices within our business or supply chain. Concerns can be raised directly with management or through established internal reporting channels, which allow for escalation and, where requested, confidentiality.

All reports are taken seriously and will be investigated promptly and impartially. There will be no victimisation or retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith, even if it is not substantiated. Where necessary, we will involve appropriate external bodies or authorities.

Training and Awareness

Removal Companies Enfield is committed to raising awareness of modern slavery risks across our workforce. Relevant employees, particularly those involved in procurement, recruitment, and supplier management, receive guidance on identifying indicators of exploitation and on our reporting procedures.

We are working to embed consideration of modern slavery risks into our everyday decision-making, contract negotiations, and supplier evaluations, so that ethical considerations remain central to how we operate.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

We recognise that combating modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility. We are committed to continually improving our processes, monitoring emerging risks, and learning from best practice in our sector and beyond.

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually by senior management to assess its effectiveness and to identify opportunities for strengthening our approach. The review takes into account audit findings, reported concerns, changes in legislation, and feedback from employees and suppliers.

Following each annual review, we will update this statement as necessary and communicate any significant changes to our staff and relevant stakeholders, ensuring our commitment to preventing modern slavery remains robust, transparent, and aligned with our values as a responsible removal service provider.
