Modern Slavery Statement
Removals Finsbury Park Commitment to Tackling Modern Slavery
This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement sets out the steps Removals Finsbury Park is taking to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our business operations and supply chains. We recognise that the removals and logistics sector can be exposed to risks related to labour exploitation, and we are committed to identifying, preventing, and addressing these risks in a transparent and responsible way.
Our Zero-Tolerance Policy
Removals Finsbury Park has a zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, child labour and human trafficking. We do not tolerate any practices that are inconsistent with the protection of fundamental human rights, whether within our own business or in our supply chain.
All directors, managers, employees, subcontractors and suppliers are required to act in line with this policy. Any breach will be treated as a serious matter and may result in disciplinary action, termination of contracts or reporting to relevant authorities.
Governance and Responsibility
The senior management team at Removals Finsbury Park is responsible for overseeing the implementation of this statement and associated policies. Managers at all levels are expected to promote a culture of integrity, transparency and respect for human rights.
We ensure that information about modern slavery risks and our expectations is communicated across our operations, so that staff involved in procurement, supplier management and workforce planning understand their responsibilities.
Our Supply Chains
Our supply chains include providers of vehicles, fuel, packing materials, storage facilities, recruitment and labour services, cleaning and maintenance, and other professional services. We recognise that risks may arise particularly in the sourcing of temporary labour, subcontracted services and materials.
We seek to work only with suppliers and partners who uphold similar values and who can demonstrate that they operate in compliance with all applicable labour, employment and human rights laws.
Supplier Due Diligence and Audits
Removals Finsbury Park conducts appropriate due diligence on new suppliers that present a higher risk of modern slavery. This may include requesting information about their employment practices, use of subcontractors, and approach to worker welfare.
Where proportionate to the size and risk profile of a supplier, we may carry out on-site audits or request evidence of their own modern slavery policies, training and monitoring. If a supplier fails to meet our standards or refuses to engage constructively on these issues, we will review the relationship and may choose not to appoint or to discontinue working with them.
Employee Awareness and Reporting Channels
We aim to build awareness of modern slavery indicators among our employees, particularly those involved in recruitment, operations and supplier engagement. Staff are encouraged to remain alert to any signs of exploitation, such as withholding of documents, unusual debt arrangements, restriction of movement or signs of intimidation and control.
Removals Finsbury Park provides internal reporting channels so that employees and workers can raise concerns about potential modern slavery or unethical practices in confidence. Reports can be made to line managers or to senior management. Concerns will be investigated promptly, sensitively and, where appropriate, in collaboration with relevant authorities.
Continuous Improvement and Annual Review
We recognise that tackling modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility. Removals Finsbury Park is committed to reviewing and improving our approach as best practice, regulation and risk profiles evolve. This includes assessing the effectiveness of our policies, training, supplier checks and reporting processes.
This Modern Slavery Statement will be reviewed at least once every year by senior management to ensure it remains relevant, robust and proportionate to the nature and scale of our business. Updates will take into account any changes in our operations, supply chains, risk assessments and legal requirements.
Approval of This Statement
This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement has been approved by the management of Removals Finsbury Park, who are responsible for ensuring its implementation throughout the business and for monitoring its ongoing effectiveness.
