Man with Van Cubitt Town is committed to conducting its business operations ethically, responsibly, and in full compliance with all applicable laws relating to modern slavery and human trafficking. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we are taking to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

We have a zero-tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, child labour, servitude, and human trafficking. Man with Van Cubitt Town will not knowingly engage with any individual, contractor, or organisation that participates in or condones such practices. We expect the same high standards from all our suppliers, subcontractors, and business partners.

All individuals working for or on behalf of Man with Van Cubitt Town, regardless of their role, are required to act with integrity and to uphold this commitment. Any breach of this policy is treated as a serious matter and may result in termination of contracts or working relationships where appropriate.

Our Operations and Supply Chain

Man with Van Cubitt Town provides moving and transportation services within the local area and beyond. Our supply chain includes vehicle providers, fuel suppliers, equipment and packing material suppliers, and occasional subcontracted labour or logistics partners. We recognise that certain sectors and regions may present higher risks of modern slavery and we work to identify and manage those risks.

We seek to build long-term, transparent relationships with reputable suppliers who share our ethical values and adhere to all relevant labour and human rights laws.

Supplier Standards and Audits

We expect all suppliers and subcontractors to comply with our ethical standards and the principles of this Modern Slavery Statement. As part of our supplier due diligence, we make clear our expectations regarding human rights, fair working conditions, and the prohibition of forced and child labour.

Where appropriate, we carry out checks and request information from suppliers to assess their policies, procedures, and practices relating to modern slavery. We reserve the right to conduct audits, either directly or through third parties, to verify compliance with our standards. If we identify concerns, we will work with the supplier to address them promptly. Where issues are not resolved to our satisfaction, we may suspend or terminate the business relationship.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Man with Van Cubitt Town encourages open communication and is committed to ensuring that anyone can raise concerns about modern slavery or unethical practices without fear of retaliation. Employees, contractors, suppliers, and other stakeholders are encouraged to report any suspected cases of modern slavery or human rights abuses they become aware of in connection with our business.

Concerns can be raised verbally or in writing to management or through any established internal reporting routes. All reports will be treated seriously, handled sensitively, and investigated promptly. We will take appropriate action where any wrongdoing is identified, which may include reporting matters to relevant authorities.

Training and Awareness

We aim to raise awareness among our staff about the risks of modern slavery and how to recognise potential signs of exploitation. Where relevant to their roles, employees are informed about this Statement and our zero-tolerance policy, as well as the procedures for reporting concerns.

By promoting awareness, we aim to reduce the risk of modern slavery within our operations and enable our people to act responsibly and confidently if they encounter potential issues.

Monitoring, Governance, and Annual Review

Responsibility for overseeing this Modern Slavery Statement and related practices rests with the management of Man with Van Cubitt Town. We regularly review our processes and supplier relationships to identify opportunities for improvement and to respond to evolving risks.

This Statement will be reviewed at least once every year and updated where necessary to reflect changes in legislation, best practice, and our business activities. Any significant developments or improvements will be incorporated into the revised Statement and communicated internally and, where appropriate, externally.

By maintaining a robust zero-tolerance stance, engaging with our suppliers, providing clear reporting channels, and conducting an annual review, Man with Van Cubitt Town is committed to contributing to the elimination of modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of its operations and supply chains.
