Movers Bermondsey Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement
This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement is made by Movers Bermondsey in respect of its activities and supply chains. Movers Bermondsey is committed to conducting business ethically, with integrity, and in full respect of human rights. We recognise our responsibility to take a robust approach to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and in the services and products we procure.
Our Zero-Tolerance Approach
Movers Bermondsey has a clear zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, and human trafficking. This applies to all individuals working for or on behalf of Movers Bermondsey at every level, including employees, agency workers, contractors, suppliers, and business partners. We will not knowingly engage with any organisation that is involved in, or fails to prevent, modern slavery or human trafficking in its own operations or supply chain.
All commercial decisions take into account our zero-tolerance approach. Where we identify a credible risk or incident of modern slavery, we will act promptly to investigate, address, and, where appropriate, terminate relationships with any party that does not meet our standards.
Our Supply Chains and Risk Management
Our main activities involve the provision of moving and related services. Our supply chains include the sourcing of vehicles, equipment, packing materials, facilities services, and labour support. We recognise that certain areas, such as agency labour and goods manufactured in higher-risk regions, can present increased vulnerabilities to modern slavery.
Movers Bermondsey is committed to identifying, assessing, and minimising these risks. We are working to strengthen our due diligence processes and to prioritise higher-risk categories and suppliers for enhanced scrutiny.
Supplier Standards and Audits
We expect all suppliers and contractors to uphold the same high standards of ethical conduct and respect for human rights as Movers Bermondsey. Our zero-tolerance principle is reflected in our supplier requirements and forms part of our decision-making when selecting and reviewing suppliers.
Where appropriate and proportionate to the risk, we carry out supplier audits and assessments. These may include requests for information on labour practices, verification of recruitment methods, review of wage and working time records, and on-site visits. If non-compliance with our standards is identified, we expect timely corrective action and reserve the right to suspend or end the business relationship if improvements are not made.
Training and Awareness
Movers Bermondsey promotes awareness of modern slavery risks among relevant employees, particularly those involved in procurement, contract management, and human resources. Training and guidance focus on recognising indicators of exploitation, understanding our internal procedures, and knowing how to raise concerns. We aim to build a culture where ethical behaviour and vigilance are integral to everyday decision-making.
Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing
We encourage anyone working for or with Movers Bermondsey to report concerns about modern slavery or human trafficking at the earliest possible stage. Concerns can relate to any part of our own operations or to our supply chains. Individuals are encouraged to raise issues through internal management channels or via established whistleblowing routes within the business.
Reports will be treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled as sensitively and confidentially as circumstances allow. Movers Bermondsey is committed to ensuring that no one who raises a concern in good faith suffers any form of retaliation or detrimental treatment as a result of speaking up.
Continuous Improvement and Annual Review
Movers Bermondsey recognises that combating modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility requiring continuous improvement. We are committed to reviewing and, where necessary, strengthening our policies, procedures, and risk controls in light of evolving best practice, legal requirements, and the findings of audits or investigations.
This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement will be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. The review will consider changes in our business activities, emerging risks in our supply chains, and the effectiveness of the measures we have implemented. Any significant changes will be communicated to relevant stakeholders and incorporated into our internal processes and supplier requirements.
This statement has been approved for and on behalf of Movers Bermondsey and represents our ongoing commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations.
