Movers Clapham Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement
This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement sets out the steps taken by Movers Clapham to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our business operations and supply chains. Movers Clapham is committed to conducting business ethically, transparently, and with integrity in all our relationships.
This statement is made in respect of the financial year ending and will be reviewed, updated, and published annually.
Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy
Movers Clapham has a clear zero-tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure modern slavery is not taking place within our own operations or any of our supply chains.
All employees, directors, contractors, and suppliers are expected to uphold this zero-tolerance stance. Non-compliance with this policy may result in disciplinary action, termination of contracts, and, where appropriate, reporting to relevant authorities.
Our Business and Supply Chains
Movers Clapham operates in the removals and relocation services sector, providing local and regional moving services to residential and commercial clients. Our supply chains include the sourcing of vehicles, fuel, packaging materials, equipment, facilities services, and various professional services.
We recognise that some sectors and geographies present higher risks of modern slavery and we actively seek to identify and reduce such risks within our own supply base.
Supplier Due Diligence and Audits
We are committed to working only with suppliers that share our values and meet our ethical standards. As part of our supplier due diligence process, Movers Clapham seeks confirmation that suppliers comply with relevant labour, employment, and human rights legislation, and that they maintain policies to prevent forced labour, child labour, and human trafficking.
Where appropriate, we undertake or commission audits or assessments of higher-risk suppliers. These audits may include reviewing employment practices, recruitment procedures, worker documentation, and working conditions. If any indicators of modern slavery are identified, Movers Clapham will engage with the supplier to agree on corrective actions or, if necessary, terminate the business relationship.
Our contracts and purchase terms aim to include provisions requiring suppliers to comply with applicable modern slavery laws and to cooperate with any audit or investigation that Movers Clapham may reasonably require.
Training and Awareness
Movers Clapham is committed to raising awareness of modern slavery across the business. Relevant employees, particularly those involved in procurement, contract management, and recruitment, are provided with guidance on recognising signs of modern slavery and on the appropriate actions to take if concerns arise.
Training and internal communications emphasise our zero-tolerance policy and the importance of reporting any suspected exploitation or abuse without delay.
Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing
We encourage all employees, contractors, suppliers, and other stakeholders to report any concerns or suspicions regarding modern slavery or human trafficking in our operations or supply chains. Concerns can be raised through internal reporting channels or directly to line managers or senior management.
Reports made in good faith will be taken seriously and investigated promptly. Movers Clapham does not tolerate retaliation or victimisation of any person who raises a concern honestly, even if it is not substantiated following investigation.
Continuous Improvement and Annual Review
Movers Clapham recognises that preventing modern slavery and human trafficking is an ongoing responsibility. We are committed to continually reviewing and improving our policies, procedures, and controls to strengthen our approach.
This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement will be reviewed annually by senior management to assess its effectiveness, reflect any changes in legislation, and incorporate lessons learned from audits, investigations, or stakeholder feedback. Updates may include enhanced supplier assessments, additional training, and revisions to contractual terms.
By maintaining this focus on transparency, accountability, and ethical conduct, Movers Clapham aims to contribute to the global effort to eradicate modern slavery and to ensure that dignity, safety, and respect are upheld throughout our business and supply chains.
