Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Kingstonvale
Man With Van Kingstonvale is committed to operating with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights in every part of our business. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking within our operations and supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can occur in many forms and may be hidden within complex networks of labour and procurement. For that reason, our approach is based on vigilance, accountability, and continuous improvement.
We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward all forms of exploitation. This applies to every employee, contractor, and supplier associated with Man With Van Kingstonvale. We expect all business relationships to reflect lawful, ethical, and transparent practices. Any breach of this policy may lead to immediate review and, where necessary, termination of the relationship. Our commitment is not limited to words; it is embedded in the way we select partners, manage operations, and monitor risk.
To support this commitment, Man With Van Kingstonvale carries out due diligence on suppliers before engagement and throughout the relationship. We assess labour practices, working conditions, and the use of subcontractors where relevant. Higher-risk suppliers may be subject to enhanced checks, including document reviews and on-site verification where appropriate. Supplier audits help us identify warning signs early and reinforce our expectation that every supplier must uphold ethical standards.
Risk Management and Responsibility
Responsibility for preventing modern slavery is shared across the business. Managers are expected to identify risks, escalate concerns, and ensure that controls remain effective. We review procurement practices to reduce the likelihood of hidden exploitation and require suppliers to confirm compliance with applicable labour laws. By combining oversight with practical safeguards, Man With Van Kingstonvale strengthens protection for workers connected to our operations.
Reporting Channels
We encourage staff and suppliers to raise concerns without fear of retaliation. Reports may be made through internal management routes or through our designated reporting channels, which are designed to support confidential handling of concerns. Any report involving suspected modern slavery is treated seriously and investigated promptly. Where necessary, we cooperate with external authorities and take immediate action to protect affected individuals. Our procedures are intended to make it easier to speak up when something does not seem right.
Training is also an important part of our prevention framework. Relevant team members receive guidance on recognising indicators of exploitation, understanding reporting responsibilities, and applying ethical procurement principles. This helps ensure that the values of Man With Van Kingstonvale are consistently reflected in day-to-day decisions. We believe awareness, when paired with clear processes, improves the chance of identifying risk before harm occurs.
Supplier Oversight and Improvement
Our supplier audits are designed to be proportionate to the level of risk presented. We may request evidence relating to recruitment practices, wage payments, identity checks, and worker accommodation where applicable. If a concern is identified, we work with the supplier to establish corrective actions and deadlines. However, if a supplier fails to demonstrate meaningful progress, we will consider ending the relationship. This firm approach supports the long-term integrity of Man With Van Kingstonvale and its supply base.
We also review contractual terms to ensure suppliers acknowledge our standards on human rights and modern slavery prevention. These obligations help create clearer expectations and make compliance part of the working relationship from the outset. Man With Van Kingstonvale believes that prevention is more effective than reaction, so we favour early checks, ongoing oversight, and transparent communication over delayed intervention.
This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with legal requirements and operational realities. The annual review considers audit findings, reported concerns, changes in supplier risk, and improvements in training or procedures. Where gaps are identified, we update our controls and strengthen our processes. Through this regular review cycle, Man With Van Kingstonvale reinforces its ongoing commitment to tackling exploitation in every part of the business.
In conclusion, Man With Van Kingstonvale rejects all forms of modern slavery and is dedicated to maintaining ethical business practices. Our zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, reporting channels, and annual review together form a practical framework for prevention and accountability. We will continue to monitor risks, improve our systems, and expect the same high standards from everyone who works with us.
