Modern Slavery Statement for Movers

We are committed to operating our moving business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps taken by our organization to prevent forced labor, human trafficking, debt bondage, child labor, and other forms of exploitation across our operations and supply chain. As a responsible movers company, we recognize that ethical conduct is essential to serving customers, supporting workers, and building trust with partners.

Our zero-tolerance policy applies to every part of the business, including recruitment, employment, subcontracting, logistics, warehousing, and procurement. We do not accept any form of modern slavery, whether direct or indirect, and we expect the same standard from all suppliers, contractors, and agents. Any breach of this policy is treated as a serious matter and may result in immediate corrective action, suspension, or termination of the relationship.

To support this commitment, we conduct risk-based supplier due diligence and regular supplier audits. These reviews help us identify warning signs such as unusual recruitment practices, unsafe working conditions, withheld wages, excessive working hours, or restricted movement. Our modern slavery controls also include onboarding checks, contract clauses, and ongoing assessments that encourage ethical conduct throughout the supply chain.

Our Approach to Prevention and Accountability

We believe that prevention begins with clear expectations and informed decision-making. All employees involved in hiring, purchasing, and vendor management receive guidance on identifying risks related to modern slavery in moving services. We also promote fair recruitment practices and require that workers are employed voluntarily, understand their terms of work, and are free from coercion or intimidation.

Where risks are identified, we take action proportionate to the issue. This may include requesting evidence of worker permissions, reviewing payroll records, checking subcontractor arrangements, or carrying out follow-up inspections. If a supplier fails to meet our standards, we work with them to improve conditions where possible; however, persistent or severe violations are not tolerated. Our mover slavery prevention framework is designed to protect vulnerable workers and ensure responsible business conduct.

We also recognize the importance of open and safe reporting channels. Employees, contractors, and supply chain workers are encouraged to raise concerns about exploitation, unsafe practices, or any suspected breach of this statement. Reports may be made confidentially and without fear of retaliation. All concerns are reviewed promptly, investigated appropriately, and escalated when necessary to ensure a timely and fair response.

Governance, Training, and Supply Chain Standards

Our governance structure supports accountability at every level. Senior management is responsible for overseeing compliance with this statement and for ensuring that modern slavery risks are considered in decision-making. Internal teams monitor key suppliers, review audit outcomes, and maintain records of actions taken. We also reinforce our ethical expectations through training and contract management so that our approach remains practical and effective.

As a moving company, our supply chain may include labor providers, vehicle services, packaging suppliers, facilities support, and temporary staffing arrangements. We expect all third parties to uphold lawful employment practices, respect working time limits, and prohibit the use of forced, bonded, or trafficked labor. Our supplier standards require transparency in labor sourcing and cooperation with audit requests and remediation plans.

We understand that modern slavery risks can evolve over time, especially where work is seasonal, labor-intensive, or delivered through multiple subcontracting layers. For that reason, we continue to strengthen our awareness programs, improve supplier screening, and refine our monitoring methods. By doing so, we aim to protect workers, safeguard our reputation, and uphold the values that define our moving business.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains relevant, effective, and aligned with legal requirements and business operations. During the review, we assess supplier audit findings, reported concerns, corrective actions, and any emerging risks across the supply chain. We also evaluate whether our policies, training, and controls continue to support strong prevention and accountability.

Where improvement opportunities are identified, we update our practices accordingly. This may include enhancing due diligence, expanding audits, revising onboarding procedures, or increasing training for teams with procurement and operational responsibilities. Our commitment to combating exploitation is ongoing, and we view each annual review as an opportunity to strengthen our response and improve our standards.

By maintaining a clear zero-tolerance approach, conducting supplier audits, offering reliable reporting channels, and completing an annual review, we aim to ensure that our moving services are delivered ethically and responsibly. We expect everyone connected with our organization to support this commitment and to help us uphold dignity, fairness, and lawful working conditions in every part of the business.
