Modern Slavery Statement for Man And Van Lissongrove

Man And Van Lissongrove is committed to conducting business with integrity, dignity, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can take many forms, including coercion, debt bondage, exploitation of vulnerable workers, and withholding of identity documents. Our approach is grounded in a zero-tolerance policy toward any such abuse.

As a responsible Man And Van Lissongrove service provider, we understand that risk can exist in logistics, subcontracted support, labour provision, and purchased goods or services. We therefore apply proportionate checks to help ensure that everyone connected with our business is treated fairly. Our commitment extends to our own workforce, temporary workers, contractors, and the suppliers that support our daily activities.

This statement reflects our ongoing efforts to improve safeguards and uphold ethical standards across the business. We expect all people working with Man And Van Lissongrove to share our values and to act in a manner consistent with lawful and humane employment practices. Any breach of this policy is treated as a serious matter and may result in immediate termination of business relationships.

Our zero-tolerance approach is supported by due diligence, training, and oversight. Before engaging suppliers, we assess the nature of the goods or services provided, the geographic location, and any known labour risks. We ask suppliers to confirm compliance with applicable employment, wage, and immigration laws, and we reserve the right to suspend or end arrangements where concerns are identified.

Supplier monitoring is a key part of our modern slavery controls. We carry out supplier audits on a risk-based basis, which may include document reviews, verification of worker status, and checks on recruitment practices. Where appropriate, audits may also examine subcontracting chains and working conditions. If a supplier fails to meet our standards, we require corrective action and follow-up review before any continued engagement.

We also provide clear reporting channels so that concerns can be raised without fear of retaliation. Employees, contractors, and suppliers are encouraged to report any suspected issue involving exploitation, unsafe recruitment, unlawful deductions, or intimidation. Reports are handled confidentially and investigated promptly. No individual will suffer disadvantage for making a genuine report in good faith.

Man and Van Lissongrove ensures that concerns are escalated to the appropriate internal decision-makers and addressed in line with severity. Where a risk to vulnerable workers is identified, we take immediate steps to stop or reduce harm, including halting work with a supplier if necessary. We also expect suppliers to maintain accurate records and to cooperate fully with any request for clarification or evidence.

Awareness is strengthened through internal communication and proportionate training. Staff involved in procurement, operations, and subcontracting are informed about the signs of modern slavery and the importance of ethical sourcing. This helps ensure that the values of Man And Van Lissongrove are embedded into everyday decision-making rather than limited to policy documents alone.

This statement will be reviewed annually to confirm its continued relevance and effectiveness. The review considers any incidents, audit findings, supplier changes, legal updates, and emerging risk areas. Findings from the review are used to improve controls, refine supplier expectations, and strengthen our commitment to responsible business practice.

In signing and maintaining this statement, Man And Van Lissongrove reaffirms that modern slavery has no place in our organisation or supply chain. We will continue to take reasonable and proportionate steps to prevent exploitation, to respond quickly to concerns, and to uphold the highest standards of conduct in everything we do.
