Removal Companies Pimlico Modern Slavery Statement

Removal Companies Pimlico is committed to conducting business ethically and with integrity in all our operations. We recognise our responsibility to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our organisation and our supply chains. This statement sets out the steps we take to identify, mitigate, and address the risks of modern slavery related to our removal and relocation services.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

We operate a strict zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking. This applies to all aspects of our business, including recruitment, employment practices, contracting, procurement, and our relationships with customers and suppliers. We will not knowingly engage with any individual or organisation involved in forced labour, servitude, human trafficking, or any form of exploitation.

All employees, from management to operational staff, are expected to uphold this commitment. Any breach of this policy is treated as a serious disciplinary matter and may result in termination of employment or contract, as well as referral to relevant authorities where appropriate.

Our Supply Chains and Supplier Standards

Our supply chains include providers of vehicles, fuel, packing materials, storage facilities, equipment, and various professional services. We expect all suppliers and contractors to maintain high standards of ethical conduct and to comply with all relevant laws on labour, employment, and human rights.

Suppliers are required to confirm that they do not use forced, compulsory, or trafficked labour and that they provide safe working conditions, fair wages, and legal working hours. Where necessary, we communicate our expectations through contractual terms, supplier briefings, and ongoing engagement with key partners.

Supplier Audits and Risk Assessment

We undertake proportionate due diligence and audit activities in relation to our suppliers, focusing on areas where the risk of modern slavery may be higher. This includes reviewing supplier policies, labour practices, and sourcing arrangements, as well as assessing the geographic and sector-specific risks associated with their operations.

Where concerns are identified, we may conduct further checks, request remedial action plans, or engage in more detailed audits. If a supplier fails to demonstrate adequate steps to prevent modern slavery or refuses to improve practices, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate the relationship.

Employee Awareness, Training, and Responsibilities

We aim to increase awareness of modern slavery risks among our staff, particularly those involved in procurement, recruitment, and contract management. Training and guidance are provided so that employees can recognise indications of exploitation, understand reporting procedures, and apply our zero-tolerance policy in their day-to-day work.

Managers are responsible for promoting an open culture where ethical concerns can be raised without fear of retaliation. All employees are expected to report any suspicion of modern slavery at the earliest opportunity.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Removal Companies Pimlico encourages anyone connected with our business, including employees, temporary workers, contractors, and suppliers, to report concerns about potential modern slavery. Concerns may relate to our own operations or to the conduct of any third party associated with our services.

Reports can be made confidentially through internal reporting channels to line managers or senior management. We treat all concerns seriously and will investigate promptly and objectively. We do not tolerate victimisation or retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith.

Monitoring, Review, and Continuous Improvement

We are committed to continuously improving our approach to preventing modern slavery. This involves monitoring our practices, updating our risk assessments, and reviewing our procurement and employment procedures to strengthen safeguards where needed.

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually by senior management to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with current legislation and best practice. Updates may be made more frequently if there are significant changes to our operations, risk profile, or legal requirements.

By maintaining robust standards, vigilant oversight, and a culture of integrity, Removal Companies Pimlico strives to ensure that modern slavery has no place in our business or our supply chains.
