Modern Slavery Statement for Man And Van Lambeth

Man And Van Lambeth is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps taken by our organisation to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking in any part of our operations. We recognise that the risks of exploitation may arise in service delivery, subcontracting, recruitment, and the wider supply chain. Our approach is based on a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery.

Our Commitment

As a trusted Man And Van Lambeth service provider, we expect everyone working with or on behalf of our business to uphold the highest ethical standards. We require all employees, contractors, and suppliers to comply with applicable labour laws and to respect the dignity and welfare of workers. Modern slavery risks are assessed as part of our wider compliance practices, and our controls are designed to identify, reduce, and respond to any concerns promptly.

We do not accept any business relationship that involves coercion, deception, withholding of wages, or restriction of freedom. Our internal policies make clear that any confirmed breach of this statement may result in disciplinary action, contract termination, or referral to relevant authorities. This statement reinforces our expectation that all commercial activity linked to Man and Van Lambeth should be lawful, transparent, and ethical.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We carry out supplier due diligence before entering into new arrangements and continue to monitor existing relationships through periodic supplier audits. These checks may include document reviews, ethical trading assessments, and verification of labour practices where relevant. When sourcing goods or services, Man And Van Lambeth seeks to work only with suppliers who can demonstrate compliance with anti-slavery principles and responsible employment standards.

Our auditing process focuses on identifying warning signs such as excessive recruitment fees, unsafe working conditions, retention of identity documents, and unclear subcontracting chains. Where concerns arise, we request corrective action and may suspend or end the relationship if improvements are not made. We also encourage suppliers to maintain their own monitoring systems so that ethical standards are reinforced throughout the supply chain.

Training and internal awareness support these checks. Staff involved in procurement or operations are made aware of modern slavery indicators and are expected to escalate any unusual or suspicious circumstances. Through this process, Man And Van Lambeth aims to maintain a responsible supply base and reduce the possibility that exploitation could be hidden within lower tiers of service delivery.

Reporting, Investigation, and Response

We provide clear reporting channels so that employees, contractors, and suppliers can raise concerns about suspected slavery, trafficking, or labour abuse. Reports may be made through internal management routes, and all concerns are treated seriously and confidentially. We support a culture where individuals feel safe to speak up, and retaliation against whistleblowers is not tolerated.

Any report received is reviewed promptly and investigated with appropriate care. If an issue suggests a risk of harm to a worker, we will take immediate steps to protect that individual and work with relevant partners where necessary. Our response may include requesting documents, interviewing involved parties, reviewing work arrangements, or escalating the matter to the proper authorities. The objective is not only to react to problems, but also to prevent recurrence across Man And Van Lambeth operations.

We keep records of concerns, findings, and actions taken so that trends can be monitored over time. This helps us strengthen controls and improve our understanding of where risk may exist. By maintaining open reporting routes and decisive action, our company reinforces a practical and credible zero-tolerance approach.

Governance and Annual Review

Responsibility for this statement sits with senior management, who oversee implementation and ensure that anti-slavery commitments are embedded into day-to-day practice. Policies are communicated across the business, and compliance expectations are reviewed alongside operational changes, new suppliers, and updates in legal requirements. Man And Van Lambeth treats modern slavery prevention as an ongoing responsibility rather than a one-time exercise.

We complete an annual review of this statement and the controls that support it. That review considers audit outcomes, supplier performance, reporting activity, staff training, and any incidents or lessons learned during the year. Where improvement opportunities are identified, we update procedures, strengthen checks, and refine guidance to ensure our safeguards remain effective.

This statement reflects our continuing commitment to ethical business conduct and human rights protection. By enforcing a zero-tolerance policy, conducting supplier audits, maintaining reliable reporting channels, and carrying out an annual review, Man And Van Lambeth works to help ensure that modern slavery has no place in our business or supply chain.
