Modern Slavery Statement for Pimlico Man And Van
Pimlico Man And Van is committed to operating with integrity, respect, and accountability in every part of our business. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that even businesses in the moving and transport sector have a responsibility to protect workers and uphold human rights.
Our approach is built on a zero-tolerance policy. We will not knowingly engage with any person, contractor, or supplier involved in slavery, servitude, bonded labour, child labour, or any form of coercion. This policy applies to all aspects of Pimlico Man And Van, including recruitment, subcontracting, procurement, and service delivery. We expect the same high standards from everyone who works with us.
We seek to create a workplace culture where dignity and fair treatment are non-negotiable. Staff are reminded that modern slavery can take many forms, including debt bondage, document retention, excessive control of wages, and threats. As part of our Pimlico Man and Van compliance framework, managers are responsible for identifying risks, escalating concerns, and ensuring that any suspected abuse is addressed promptly and seriously.
Risk Assessment and Supplier Audits
We understand that the greatest risks may arise within supply chains, especially where labour is sourced through intermediaries or where services are delivered in high-pressure environments. To reduce this risk, Pimlico Man And Van carries out due diligence on suppliers and subcontractors before any engagement. This includes checks on business legitimacy, labour practices, and the presence of any indicators of exploitation.
We also conduct supplier audits on an ongoing basis, proportionate to the nature of the relationship and the level of risk involved. These audits may include document reviews, contractual obligations, workforce verification, and site-based assessments where appropriate. If a supplier fails to meet our standards, we will require corrective action and may suspend or terminate the relationship if concerns are not resolved.
Where practical, we ask suppliers to confirm that they maintain policies against modern slavery and that they apply fair recruitment and employment practices. We also encourage them to carry out similar checks within their own supply chains. By doing so, Pimlico Man & Van aims to support a wider culture of transparency and ethical conduct.
Reporting Channels and Training
We believe that effective prevention depends on clear and accessible reporting channels. Any worker, contractor, or supplier who suspects unethical conduct may raise a concern through internal management routes. Reports are treated seriously, investigated confidentially where possible, and handled without retaliation. We make it clear that no one will face disadvantage for raising concerns in good faith.
Pimlico Man And Van also supports awareness through staff briefings and internal communication, so that employees can recognise warning signs and understand their responsibilities. Training covers practical indicators of slavery and exploitation, safe reporting procedures, and the importance of respecting worker rights. This helps ensure that our people can act quickly and appropriately if something appears wrong.
We are committed to improving how concerns are identified and addressed. This includes reviewing incidents, strengthening controls, and learning from any weaknesses found during audits or internal checks. By maintaining open reporting routes, Pimlico Man And Van reinforces its refusal to tolerate exploitation in any part of the business.
Governance, Monitoring, and Annual Review
Responsibility for this statement and its implementation rests with senior management, who oversee compliance and monitor progress against our anti-slavery commitments. Oversight includes reviewing supplier relationships, monitoring risk indicators, and ensuring that contractual terms reflect our expectations. This governance approach supports consistent action across the business.
We recognise that modern slavery risks can change over time as our operations, partners, and market conditions evolve. For that reason, this statement is reviewed annually to confirm that it remains accurate, relevant, and effective. During each review, we consider any incidents, audit findings, changes in legislation, and opportunities to improve our procedures.
Pimlico Man And Van remains fully committed to continuous improvement and to acting with responsibility in all dealings. Our objective is not only to comply with legal obligations, but to actively help prevent exploitation and promote fair treatment. Through a firm zero-tolerance stance, regular supplier audits, accessible reporting channels, and an annual review cycle, we aim to uphold the highest ethical standards across Pimlico Man & Van.
