Movers London Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by Movers London to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our business operations and supply chains. Movers London is committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our relationships, ensuring that exploitation has no place in the provision of our moving and relocation services.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

Movers London adopts a strict zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour and all forms of exploitation. We will not knowingly engage with any individual, contractor or supplier that is involved in such practices. Our directors and senior management are responsible for promoting a culture where respect for human rights is integral to how we operate, procure and deliver services.

All employees, contractors and agency workers are required to comply with this policy and to act in a way that upholds the dignity, safety and wellbeing of every person with whom we interact. Breaches of this policy may result in disciplinary action, including termination of employment or business relationships.

Our Business and Supply Chain

Movers London provides residential and commercial moving, packing, storage and related logistical services. Our supply chain includes providers of vehicles, equipment, packaging materials, storage facilities, cleaning services, technology solutions and temporary labour. We recognise that the risk of modern slavery can arise at any point in this chain, particularly where low-skilled or temporary labour is used, or where goods are sourced through multiple tiers of suppliers.

We are committed to working only with reputable partners that share our ethical standards and can demonstrate robust practices for protecting workers' rights and welfare.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

Movers London conducts due diligence on new and existing suppliers to assess the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking. Our processes include seeking confirmation of compliance with applicable labour and human rights laws, reviewing relevant policies, and, where appropriate, requesting evidence of workforce protections and responsible recruitment practices.

We reserve the right to carry out audits of our key suppliers, either directly or through independent third parties. These audits may include interviews, site visits and document reviews to verify working conditions, employment practices and adherence to our standards. Where areas for improvement are identified, we will work collaboratively with suppliers on corrective action plans and follow-up checks. If a supplier fails to address serious concerns, Movers London may suspend or terminate the business relationship.

Training, Awareness and Reporting Channels

We provide information and guidance to relevant employees, particularly those involved in procurement, recruitment and supplier management, so they can recognise signs of modern slavery and respond appropriately. Training covers risk indicators, reporting procedures and the importance of responsible sourcing.

Movers London encourages all staff, contractors and business partners to report any concerns or suspicions relating to modern slavery, whether within our own operations or in our supply chains. Concerns can be raised through internal management channels or our whistleblowing arrangements. Reports will be treated seriously and handled sensitively. We will investigate credible allegations promptly and will not tolerate any form of retaliation against those who raise concerns in good faith.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

Movers London is committed to continuous improvement in preventing modern slavery. We regularly review our policies, due diligence processes and training materials to ensure they remain effective and aligned with evolving best practice and legal requirements.

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed and approved by the board of Movers London on an annual basis. As part of that review, we assess the effectiveness of our actions, consider feedback from stakeholders and identify opportunities to strengthen our approach. Updated statements are made available to our employees, customers and suppliers to promote transparency and accountability.

By maintaining a clear zero-tolerance policy, robust supplier oversight, accessible reporting channels and a cycle of regular review, Movers London aims to play a responsible role in combating modern slavery and safeguarding the rights and welfare of all individuals connected to our business.
