Modern Slavery Statement for Removals Greenwich

Removals Greenwich is committed to conducting business ethically and responsibly. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chain. We recognise that exploitation can take many forms, including forced labour, debt bondage, child labour, and deceptive recruitment practices. Our approach is built on zero tolerance, transparency, and continuous improvement.

As a provider of Greenwich removals services, we work with staff, contractors, and suppliers who support a range of moving activities. We understand that vulnerability can arise in logistics and labour-intensive work, so we apply clear standards to every relationship. Modern slavery is not tolerated in any part of our business, and we expect the same commitment from those who work with us.

Our Zero-Tolerance Policy

We maintain a strict zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery and human trafficking. This policy applies to all employees, temporary workers, agency staff, and suppliers associated with Greenwich removals operations. Any breach of this policy may result in immediate suspension of a contract, investigation, and where appropriate, termination of the business relationship. We also require all personnel to act with integrity, to follow lawful employment practices, and to report concerns without delay.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

Supplier management is central to our approach. Before engaging a supplier, we assess their employment practices, right-to-work checks, wage arrangements, and record-keeping standards. Higher-risk suppliers may be subject to supplier audits, document reviews, or follow-up assessments. These audits help us verify that workers are treated fairly and that recruitment practices are free from coercion or exploitation. Where gaps are identified, we request corrective action and monitor progress closely.

We also expect suppliers to cascade these requirements through their own subcontractors. Removals Greenwich will not knowingly work with any organisation that is unable or unwilling to demonstrate compliance with modern slavery laws. Our procurement decisions consider not only price and service quality, but also labour standards, ethical conduct, and the risk of abuse within the supply chain. Greenwich removals partnerships are therefore shaped by both performance and responsibility.

Training, Awareness, and Safe Reporting Channels

Awareness is an essential safeguard. Staff involved in recruitment, procurement, and contractor management receive guidance on identifying warning signs, including unexplained changes in behaviour, poor living conditions, restricted freedom of movement, or unusual control by a third party. We encourage a culture in which concerns are raised early and handled carefully. Reporting channels are available for employees and suppliers to report suspected wrongdoing, and all concerns are treated seriously, confidentially, and without retaliation. Reports are reviewed promptly, and appropriate action is taken in line with our procedures.

Risk Assessment and Ongoing Controls

Our risk assessments focus on areas where labour exploitation may be more likely, including subcontracted work, temporary staffing, and cross-border recruitment. Removals Greenwich uses these assessments to shape monitoring activity and strengthen controls where needed. We seek to maintain accurate records, verify worker identities, and promote fair working conditions. These measures help us reduce the possibility that modern slavery could exist in our business or within the wider network supporting Greenwich removals.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains relevant, effective, and aligned with legal and operational developments. The review considers audit outcomes, reported concerns, supplier performance, and any changes in risk. Where improvements are identified, action plans are agreed and tracked. We are committed to strengthening our controls each year and to maintaining a responsible, ethical service that reflects the values of Removals Greenwich.

By embedding vigilance, accountability, and respect for human rights, Greenwich removals continues to build a supply chain that supports dignity and lawful employment for all.
