Removal Company Camden Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement is made by Removal Company Camden in recognition of our responsibilities under relevant modern slavery and human trafficking legislation. It sets out the steps we are taking to identify, prevent, and address the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

Removal Company Camden has a zero-tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all business dealings and relationships. We expect the same high standards from all those we work with, including suppliers, subcontractors, and other business partners.

We will not knowingly engage with any organisation, or individual, that engages in or condones modern slavery or human trafficking. Where credible concerns are identified, we will act promptly to investigate, address the issue, and, where necessary, terminate relationships that do not meet our standards.

Our Business and Supply Chains

Removal Company Camden operates in the removals and relocation sector, providing packing, moving, storage, and associated services to residential and commercial customers. Our supply chains include providers of vehicles, fuel, packing materials, storage facilities, equipment, and various professional services.

We recognise that some areas of our supply chain may present a higher risk of labour exploitation, particularly where there is reliance on temporary labour, subcontracted services, or overseas sourcing of materials. We are committed to identifying and addressing these risk areas through robust controls and ongoing engagement.

Supplier Standards and Audits

We expect all suppliers and subcontractors to uphold our values and comply with all applicable labour, health and safety, and human rights laws. To support this, we are implementing supplier standards that explicitly prohibit modern slavery, human trafficking, child labour, and any form of forced or compulsory labour.

Before entering into new supplier relationships, we will carry out proportionate due diligence to assess the risk of modern slavery. This may include requesting information on employment practices, workforce structure, use of subcontractors, and compliance with relevant legislation. For higher-risk suppliers, we reserve the right to conduct more detailed assessments.

We also plan periodic audits or reviews of key suppliers, focusing on those with operations in higher-risk sectors or geographies. Where non-compliance or areas of concern are identified, we will work with the supplier to agree corrective actions and timeframes. Failure to remedy serious issues may result in suspension or termination of the relationship.

Reporting Concerns and Whistleblowing Channels

Removal Company Camden encourages a culture of openness and accountability. All employees, workers, suppliers, and other stakeholders are encouraged to raise concerns about suspected modern slavery or trafficking in any part of our business or supply chains.

Concerns can be reported to line managers, senior management, or through any internal reporting mechanism we make available from time to time. Reports may be made confidentially. We will take all reports seriously and investigate them promptly and fairly, ensuring that no one who raises a concern in good faith suffers any form of retaliation or disadvantage.

Where appropriate, we will cooperate with law enforcement, regulatory bodies, and other relevant authorities in investigating and addressing potential cases of modern slavery.

Training, Awareness, and Responsibility

Responsibility for overseeing our modern slavery programme rests with the senior management team of Removal Company Camden. Managers involved in procurement, recruitment, and supplier management are expected to understand and apply our zero-tolerance policy in their day-to-day work.

We will seek to raise awareness among employees regarding the signs of modern slavery and the steps to take if they have concerns. This may include induction briefings, internal communications, and targeted training for those in higher-risk roles or functions.

Monitoring, Review, and Continuous Improvement

We recognise that tackling modern slavery is an ongoing process that requires continuous vigilance and improvement. Removal Company Camden will review this Modern Slavery Statement and the effectiveness of our measures at least once every year, or more frequently if required by changes in legislation, our business structure, or risk profile.

As part of our annual review, we will consider feedback from employees and stakeholders, learning from audits, due diligence findings, and any reported incidents. We will update our policies and procedures where necessary to strengthen our approach and further reduce the risk of modern slavery in our operations and supply chains.

This statement reflects our ongoing commitment to ethical conduct, respect for human rights, and the prevention of modern slavery in every aspect of Removal Company Camden.
