Modern Slavery Statement for Brompton Man And Van

Brompton Man And Van is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with full respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation within our operations and supply chains. Our zero-tolerance policy applies to every part of the business, from day-to-day transport activities to the selection of third-party partners.

We recognise that modern slavery can occur in many forms, including debt bondage, deceptive recruitment, and abuse of vulnerability. For Brompton Man and Van services, risks may arise in labour sourcing, subcontracted work, storage handling, and supplier relationships. We therefore maintain clear controls designed to identify, prevent, and respond to any sign of exploitation. The statement is supported by internal governance, staff awareness, and ongoing oversight by senior management.

Our approach begins with due diligence. Before engaging suppliers or contractors, we assess their labour practices, wage arrangements, right-to-work procedures, and adherence to ethical standards. Where a potential concern exists, we require corrective action or decline the relationship. We also expect all partners working with Brompton Man And Van to uphold the same principles and comply with applicable laws on employment and human rights.

Supplier management is a key safeguard. We conduct supplier audits based on risk, using document checks, site reviews, and workforce verification where appropriate. These audits help us confirm that suppliers are not using coerced labour, unlawful deductions, or unsafe working conditions. If an audit identifies weaknesses, we request immediate remediation and monitor progress until the issue is resolved. Repeated failure to improve may result in suspension or termination of the relationship.

Training and awareness are also important. Staff responsible for procurement, scheduling, and contractor oversight are expected to recognise indicators of modern slavery and report concerns without delay. This includes unusual wage patterns, restricted movement, poor housing conditions, intimidation, or dependency on recruitment fees. By embedding awareness into everyday decision-making, the Brompton Man and Van team strengthens its ability to detect risk early.

We encourage open and safe reporting. Concerns may be raised through internal management channels or through designated safeguarding and compliance routes. Reports can be made confidentially, and no individual will suffer retaliation for speaking up in good faith. This reporting framework supports a culture of accountability and gives workers, suppliers, and employees a reliable way to raise issues involving modern slavery, harassment, or unethical conduct.

List of core commitments:

• Maintain a zero-tolerance approach to slavery and human trafficking
• Screen suppliers and subcontractors before engagement
• Carry out risk-based supplier audits and corrective follow-up
• Provide protected reporting channels for concerns
• Review this statement annually and improve controls where needed

In addition to these measures, we monitor procurement decisions and contract renewals to ensure ethical compliance remains central to business operations. Any evidence of forced labour, withheld identity documents, or abuse of workers will be treated as a serious breach. For Brompton Man And Van, responsible trading is not optional; it is an essential condition of working with us.

We also require suppliers to maintain accurate records of workers, hours, wages, and recruitment practices. This supports traceability and helps us evaluate whether labour is being used fairly and lawfully. Where needed, we may request further assurances, undertake follow-up checks, or revise our relationship terms to reduce exposure to risk.

This statement will be reviewed annually to ensure it remains current, effective, and aligned with legal expectations and operational change. The annual review will consider audit findings, reported concerns, supplier performance, training needs, and any emerging risks across the business. Improvements will be made where necessary so that Brompton Man And Van continues to strengthen its response to modern slavery and protect vulnerable people throughout its supply chain.
