Modern Slavery Statement for Removal Company Enfield

This Modern Slavery Statement is made by Removal Company Enfield in accordance with relevant legislation and sets out the steps we are taking to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our business operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery is a severe violation of fundamental human rights, and we are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our relationships.

Our Business and Supply Chains

Removal Company Enfield operates as a professional removals and relocation provider, offering domestic, commercial, and specialist moving services. Our activities rely on a network of suppliers and contractors, including vehicle and equipment providers, warehousing and storage services, packing material manufacturers, and labour and logistics partners. We acknowledge that risks related to modern slavery can arise at various points in these supply chains, particularly where work is outsourced or involves temporary labour.

Zero-Tolerance Approach

We have a clear zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced or compulsory labour, and child labour. This applies to all aspects of our operations, from recruitment and employment practices to procurement and contract management. We do not knowingly engage with any organisation or individual involved in modern slavery, and we expect the same commitment from everyone we work with. Any suspected breach of this policy will be treated seriously and may result in the termination of business relationships or employment, as appropriate.

Policies and Responsibilities

Our commitment to preventing modern slavery is embedded in our internal policies, which cover ethical conduct, recruitment, and the treatment of workers. Senior management holds overall responsibility for overseeing this Statement and ensuring that our anti-slavery measures are effectively implemented. Line managers are responsible for promoting awareness and ensuring day-to-day compliance within their teams, while all employees are required to act in accordance with our policies and report any concerns they may observe.

Supplier Standards and Audits

We expect all suppliers and contractors to uphold equivalent standards and to operate in full compliance with modern slavery legislation. As part of our supplier onboarding and review processes, we assess the risk of modern slavery and require confirmation that appropriate safeguards are in place. Where we identify higher-risk suppliers or sectors, we may carry out targeted audits, which can include requesting written evidence of labour practices, reviewing policies, and conducting site visits where feasible. Continued engagement with our business is conditional on maintaining robust practices that prevent exploitation.

Due Diligence and Risk Management

Our due diligence procedures are designed to identify, monitor, and manage potential modern slavery risks. This includes evaluating new and existing suppliers, reviewing labour agency practices, and considering geographic and sector-specific risk factors. Where concerns arise, we will work with the relevant party to address the issue promptly. If adequate remediation is not possible or cooperation is not forthcoming, we will consider suspending or ending the relationship.

Reporting Channels and Protection

Removal Company Enfield encourages all employees, contractors, and business partners to report any concerns related to modern slavery or unethical labour practices. Reports can be raised through internal management channels or to designated senior representatives. We are committed to ensuring that individuals who raise concerns in good faith are protected from retaliation or detriment. All reports will be taken seriously, handled sensitively, and investigated appropriately, with outcomes used to improve our controls.

Training and Awareness

To support effective implementation of this Statement, we provide appropriate training and guidance to relevant employees, particularly those involved in procurement, supplier management, and recruitment. Training covers the signs of modern slavery, how to escalate concerns, and the responsibilities each individual holds in preventing exploitation. We aim to foster a culture in which ethical behaviour and respect for human rights are central to our decision-making.

Monitoring and Annual Review

We are committed to continually improving our approach to combatting modern slavery. This Statement and our related procedures are reviewed at least annually by senior management to evaluate their effectiveness and to identify opportunities for enhancement. The review will consider any incidents reported, findings from supplier audits, changes in legislation, and evolving best practice. Updated versions of this Statement will reflect these developments and reaffirm our ongoing commitment to eliminating modern slavery from our business and supply chains.

This Modern Slavery Statement has been approved by the management of Removal Company Enfield and represents our current position on this critical issue.
