Modern Slavery Statement for Man And Van Brompton

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the commitment of Man And Van Brompton to preventing modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour, and all forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chain. As a trusted Man and Van Brompton service provider, we recognise that responsibility extends beyond our direct activities and into the wider relationships that support our business. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery and expect the same standard from everyone who works with us.

Our approach is based on clear expectations, active oversight, and continuous improvement. We are committed to operating ethically, treating people with dignity, and ensuring that all work is voluntary, fairly managed, and legally compliant. This statement applies to all areas of our business, including transport operations, subcontracted services, recruitment practices, and procurement decisions. The Man And Van Brompton brand is built on reliability, and that reliability must always be matched by integrity.

We do not tolerate any business practice that could enable exploitation. Any employee, contractor, or supplier found to be involved in modern slavery-related conduct may face immediate corrective action, termination of engagement, and referral to the appropriate authorities where required. We aim to create a workplace culture where concerns can be raised without fear and where ethical conduct is embedded in everyday decisions.

To support this commitment, we apply due diligence when selecting and reviewing suppliers. Supplier audits are carried out based on risk, service type, and geography, with particular attention given to labour practices, subcontracting arrangements, wage compliance, and worker welfare. Where appropriate, we request documentation, conduct questionnaires, and review evidence of compliance with employment law and ethical standards. In higher-risk cases, we may require further checks before continuing a relationship.

We expect all suppliers and business partners to uphold the principles of fair work, lawful recruitment, and transparent employment conditions. If a concern is identified, we seek immediate clarification and remediation. Continued non-compliance may result in suspension or removal from our approved supplier base. This process helps ensure that the Man and Van Brompton supply chain remains aligned with our ethical values and legal obligations.

Training and awareness are important parts of our prevention strategy. Staff who handle recruitment, procurement, subcontractor management, or operational planning are made aware of the indicators of modern slavery and the steps to take if concerns arise. We encourage vigilance in recognising warning signs such as withholding of documents, restricted movement, debt bondage, unsafe accommodation, or signs of coercion. Our internal procedures are designed to ensure prompt escalation and responsible action.

We provide reporting channels so that concerns about suspected modern slavery can be raised safely and promptly. Reports may be made through internal management routes, and concerns can be raised confidentially without retaliation. All reports are taken seriously, recorded appropriately, and investigated in a timely manner. Where necessary, we will cooperate with relevant authorities and support any affected individuals in line with legal and ethical requirements.

Our reporting framework is designed to protect people first. Any individual who raises a concern in good faith will be supported, and no one will suffer disadvantage for speaking up. This principle strengthens accountability across Man And Van Brompton and reinforces our commitment to ethical business conduct. We recognise that an open reporting culture is essential to identifying risk early and preventing harm.

This statement is reviewed annually to confirm that it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with current legislation and best practice. The annual review considers supplier audit findings, incident reports, training updates, and any changes in business activity that may affect modern slavery risk. Where improvements are needed, we update our policies, strengthen monitoring, and refine our procedures. Through this ongoing review process, Man And Van Brompton reinforces its commitment to responsible operations, lawful conduct, and the prevention of exploitation in all forms.
