Modern Slavery Statement for Man And Van Mayfair
At Man And Van Mayfair, we are committed to conducting our business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the measures we take to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can appear in many forms, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any practice that exploits workers or compromises their dignity.
Our commitment applies across all aspects of the Man And Van Mayfair service model, including subcontracted work, recruitment practices, and procurement. We expect every colleague, contractor, and supplier to uphold the same standards. To support this, we provide internal training so that staff can identify warning signs, such as unusual payment practices, restricted freedom of movement, or evidence of coercion. By embedding awareness into daily decision-making, Man and Van Mayfair strengthens its ability to prevent abuse before it occurs.
We also require suppliers to comply with our ethical expectations through written terms and periodic review.
Where appropriate, supplier audits are conducted to assess labour practices, documentation, workplace conditions, and compliance with applicable laws. These audits may include checks on onboarding procedures, right-to-work verification, wage records, and subcontracting arrangements. If concerns arise, we investigate promptly and may request corrective action, enhanced monitoring, or termination of the relationship if standards are not met.
Risk Management and Accountability
Responsibility for implementing this statement sits with senior management, who oversee risk assessments and ensure the approach remains effective.
Potential risk areas are reviewed regularly, particularly where labour may be more vulnerable to exploitation. This includes temporary work, outsourced services, and supply partners operating in higher-risk environments. We take a proactive stance by reviewing hiring procedures and confirming that all workers are engaged voluntarily and treated with fairness.
Our reporting culture is designed to make concerns visible quickly. Employees and contractors may raise issues through internal reporting channels, including line management, compliance oversight, and confidential escalation routes. Reports of suspected modern slavery are taken seriously and investigated without delay. We protect individuals who raise concerns in good faith and do not tolerate retaliation, intimidation, or victimisation. Clear reporting channels help Man And Van Mayfair respond effectively when something appears wrong.
When a concern is identified, we act in a structured and proportionate way. This may involve further fact-finding, engagement with the supplier, suspension of work, or referral to the relevant authorities where appropriate.
We understand that prevention is stronger than reaction, so our controls are designed to reduce the risk of exploitation entering our operations. By combining oversight, training, and supplier scrutiny, Man And Van Mayfair reinforces ethical conduct across the business.
Ongoing Commitment and Review
Annual review is an essential part of our modern slavery approach.
At least once each year, we reassess this statement, review any reported concerns, and examine whether our policies remain suitable and effective. The review considers changes in business activity, supplier profile, and legal expectations. Where improvements are needed, we update our controls and refresh awareness across the organisation. This ongoing process ensures the Man And Van Mayfair modern slavery statement remains current and credible.
We also monitor performance indicators that can reveal hidden risks, such as incomplete documentation, inconsistent subcontractor records, or repeated failures to meet agreed standards. These checks help us strengthen due diligence and maintain clear expectations for everyone connected to the business. The leadership team supports this work by promoting ethical behaviour and ensuring that modern slavery prevention remains a visible priority.
Through this statement, Man And Van Mayfair confirms its dedication to lawful, ethical, and responsible trading. Our zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, reporting channels, and annual review process form the foundation of our anti-slavery framework. We will continue to improve these measures so that our operations and supply chain remain aligned with respect for human rights and the highest standards of business conduct.
