Modern Slavery Statement for Man And Van Holland Park
Man And Van Holland Park is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps taken to prevent slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and other forms of exploitation within our operations and wider supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can affect many industries, including transport, logistics, storage, and subcontracted services. For this reason, Man and Van Holland Park maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward any practice that undermines freedom, dignity, or fair treatment.
Our approach is grounded in compliance, prevention, and accountability. We expect every employee, contractor, and supplier associated with Man And Van Holland Park to uphold the same ethical standards. This includes lawful recruitment practices, fair wages, safe working conditions, and the absence of coercion, deception, or intimidation. We continuously review our internal processes to ensure that our operations remain transparent and that risks are identified early.
In support of our commitment, we provide training and internal guidance so that relevant team members can recognise indicators of exploitation. These may include restricted movement, withheld documents, debt bondage, or signs of fear and control. By increasing awareness across the business, Man and Van Holland Park strengthens its ability to detect and respond to risks in a timely manner.
Supplier due diligence is a central part of our modern slavery prevention framework. Before engaging suppliers, Man And Van Holland Park assesses their business practices, labour standards, and commitment to legal and ethical conduct. Where appropriate, we require suppliers to confirm that they comply with applicable anti-slavery laws and maintain suitable controls within their own operations.
We also conduct supplier audits on a risk-based basis. These audits may involve reviewing employment policies, subcontracting arrangements, worker management practices, and records relating to recruitment and pay. If concerns arise, we expect prompt corrective action and may suspend or end the relationship if the supplier fails to meet our standards. Man and Van Holland Park views audits not as a formality, but as an important safeguard that helps ensure integrity throughout the supply chain.
To support responsible procurement, we seek long-term relationships with suppliers who share our values and demonstrate continuous improvement. This reduces exposure to hidden labour risks and reinforces our expectation that every partner associated with Man And Van Holland Park operates with honesty, fairness, and respect for human rights.
We encourage anyone working with or for the business to raise concerns without fear of retaliation. Reporting channels are available for employees, subcontractors, and suppliers who suspect unethical conduct, including any sign of forced labour, trafficking, or exploitative recruitment. Concerns are taken seriously and handled confidentially wherever possible, with appropriate investigation and follow-up actions.
Reports may be made through internal management lines or through designated compliance procedures. Man And Van Holland Park is committed to ensuring that individuals who speak up are protected from victimisation, dismissal, or disadvantage. This culture of openness is essential to identifying risks that may otherwise remain hidden.
The effectiveness of this statement and the measures described within it are reviewed annually. During each review, Man and Van Holland Park evaluates emerging risks, supplier performance, training outcomes, and the effectiveness of reporting and remediation processes. Where necessary, we strengthen policies, refresh controls, and refine auditing practices to reflect current legal requirements and best practice. Through this annual review cycle, we reaffirm our long-term commitment to preventing modern slavery and promoting ethical business conduct across every part of our organisation.
