Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Cannhall

Man With Van Cannhall is committed to conducting business responsibly, ethically, and with respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and other exploitative practices within our own operations and throughout our supply chain. We recognise that even businesses focused on moving and transport services must remain vigilant, because risks can arise in labour hiring, subcontracting, logistics support, warehousing, and procurement.

Our zero-tolerance policy applies to every aspect of the business. We do not accept, permit, or ignore any form of slavery or servitude. This commitment is reinforced through internal procedures, staff awareness, and responsible supplier selection. Anyone working on behalf of Man With Van Cannhall is expected to act in line with our ethical standards and to challenge anything that appears suspicious, coercive, or unlawful.

We understand that modern slavery in transport services can be hidden in plain sight, especially where workers are recruited quickly or where multiple tiers of suppliers are involved. For that reason, we assess risk before entering into commercial relationships and continue to monitor those risks as operations evolve. Our approach is practical, proportionate, and designed to support compliance across the business.

Supplier due diligence is a key part of our control framework. We expect suppliers, contractors, and other business partners to share our values and comply with all applicable labour laws. Before engagement, we review available information about ownership, workforce practices, geographic risk, and use of subcontractors. This helps us identify concerns early and ensures that our partners understand the standards required by Man With Van Cannhall.

Where appropriate, we carry out supplier audits and follow-up checks. These may include document reviews, confirmation of worker age verification, inspection of right-to-work processes, and assessment of employment terms. If a supplier operates in a higher-risk environment, we may request additional evidence, improvement plans, or independent verification. Failure to cooperate, or any indication of abuse, may result in suspension or termination of the relationship.

We also expect suppliers to maintain accurate records and to flow down equivalent expectations to any subcontractors they use. This helps ensure that standards are not diluted as work moves through the supply chain. In this way, the Man With Van Cannhall slavery statement supports clear accountability from initial engagement through ongoing review.

Reporting concerns is essential to prevention. Staff, contractors, and suppliers are encouraged to raise any suspicion of exploitation, unsafe recruitment, withheld wages, intimidation, document retention, or restriction of movement. Reports may be made through internal management channels or any designated safeguarding route established by the business. We aim to treat every concern seriously, handle it discreetly, and protect the person reporting from retaliation.

We make it clear that no one should suffer disadvantage for speaking up in good faith. Concerns are reviewed promptly, and where necessary we will investigate, seek further information, and take corrective action. In cases involving potential criminal conduct, we will cooperate with the relevant authorities. The zero-tolerance approach of Man With Van Cannhall means that breaches are not overlooked, even if they arise deep within the supply chain.

Training and awareness are also important. Relevant staff receive guidance on recognising indicators of modern slavery, understanding supplier risk, and escalating issues appropriately. This helps ensure that our people are equipped to act responsibly and remain alert to warning signs in daily operations.

We review this statement and our wider anti-slavery controls on an annual basis, or sooner if there is a significant change in our business model, supplier base, or risk profile. The annual review examines the effectiveness of our safeguards, the results of supplier audits, any incidents reported, and opportunities to strengthen our procedures. Where improvements are identified, action plans are created and monitored to completion.

Man With Van Cannhall believes that responsible business practice is an ongoing duty rather than a one-time exercise. Our modern slavery statement is therefore embedded into how we operate, not treated as a standalone document. By combining due diligence, supplier audits, reporting channels, and annual review, we aim to reduce risk and uphold dignity in every part of our operations.

This statement reflects our continuing commitment to prevention, transparency, and accountability. We will keep strengthening our controls and maintain our modern slavery safeguards so that our standards remain clear, credible, and consistently applied.
