Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Lissongrove

Man With Van Lissongrove is committed to conducting business with integrity, respect, and accountability. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our approach to preventing modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation in any part of our operations or supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can affect businesses of all sizes and industries, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of abuse, coercion, or unlawful labour practice.

Our commitment applies to employees, contractors, suppliers, and any third parties acting on behalf of Man With Van Lissongrove. We expect all partners to uphold ethical standards, treat workers fairly, and comply with relevant employment and human rights laws. This statement reflects our responsibility to identify risks early, respond decisively, and promote a culture where dignity and lawful conduct are non-negotiable.

We understand that transport, logistics, warehousing, and subcontracted services may present elevated risk areas. For that reason, we assess suppliers carefully before engagement and continue monitoring them throughout the relationship. Our process includes reviewing labour practices, checking for signs of unsafe recruitment, and evaluating whether suppliers demonstrate clear controls against exploitation. If concerns arise, we investigate promptly and take appropriate action.

Our Controls and Responsibilities

The leadership of Man With Van Lissongrove has overall responsibility for ensuring this statement is implemented and reviewed. Managers are expected to embed ethical sourcing and labour safeguards into day-to-day decision-making. We provide internal guidance to help teams recognise warning signs such as withheld identity documents, unexplained deductions, restricted movement, or dependence on a single recruiter. These indicators are treated seriously and escalated without delay.

To reduce risk across the supply chain, we conduct supplier audits where appropriate. Audits may be scheduled or triggered by risk indicators, contract changes, or performance concerns. They focus on working hours, wage practices, recruitment methods, subcontracting arrangements, and worker welfare. Where non-compliance is identified, we require corrective action plans and may suspend or end relationships if improvement is not achieved.

We also recognise the importance of clear communication. Anyone connected with Man With Van Lissongrove should feel able to raise concerns safely and in confidence. We maintain internal reporting channels so that suspected misconduct can be reported without fear of retaliation. Reports may involve recruitment abuse, unsafe conditions, unlawful deductions, or any behaviour that may indicate modern slavery.

Reporting, Remediation, and Review

Our reporting channels are designed to encourage early intervention. Concerns are reviewed promptly, confidentially, and objectively by appropriate managers. Where a report suggests a potential breach, we assess the facts, protect the individuals involved, and cooperate with relevant authorities if necessary. We do not tolerate victimisation of anyone who raises a concern in good faith, and we take steps to ensure whistleblowing is supported.

If a supplier, subcontractor, or workforce partner fails to meet our standards, we will act proportionately but firmly. Depending on the circumstances, our response may include enhanced monitoring, mandatory remediation, targeted audits, or termination of the relationship. We believe that effective action must address root causes, not simply symptoms, and that ethical trading should always support decent work.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains current, effective, and aligned with legal requirements and operational realities. During the review, we assess emerging risks, supplier performance, reporting trends, and any lessons learned from incidents or audits. The updated statement helps Man With Van Lissongrove strengthen controls, refine responsibilities, and reinforce our ongoing commitment to eliminating modern slavery wherever it may occur.
