Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Hollandpark

Man With Van Hollandpark is committed to conducting business in an ethical, lawful, and responsible manner. We recognise that modern slavery is a severe violation of human rights and can take many forms, including forced labour, debt bondage, human trafficking, child labour, and exploitation through coercion or deception. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps taken by Man With Van Hollandpark to prevent such abuse within our operations and supply chains. Our approach is grounded in zero tolerance, due diligence, and continuous improvement.

Our Zero-Tolerance Policy

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery in every part of the business. No manager, employee, contractor, or supplier is permitted to engage in practices that exploit vulnerable people. We expect all parties associated with Man With Van Hollandpark to comply with labour laws, respect human dignity, and act transparently. Any breach of this policy is treated as a serious matter and may result in termination of contracts, removal from approved supplier lists, or disciplinary action where relevant. This commitment applies equally to direct and indirect relationships, including subcontracted services and outsourced activities.

We implement recruitment and employment controls to reduce risk, ensuring that workers are engaged voluntarily, are of lawful working age, and receive clear information about their rights and responsibilities. All internal hiring practices are reviewed to prevent unfair fees, document retention, or deceptive conditions. At Man With Van Hollandpark, ethical conduct is not a statement alone; it is reinforced through training, oversight, and management accountability. The objective is to create a working environment where respect, fairness, and lawful practice are the standard.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

Man With Van Hollandpark recognises that supply chains can present higher risks where labour is sourced through intermediaries or where subcontracting is common. For that reason, we undertake proportionate supplier due diligence before entering into commercial relationships and periodically thereafter. Suppliers are expected to confirm compliance with anti-slavery laws and to maintain records demonstrating lawful labour practices. Where risk is elevated, we conduct supplier audits, request supporting documentation, and assess whether controls are sufficient to identify and prevent exploitation.

Our audits may include reviews of employment records, wage practices, working hours, identity verification procedures, and recruitment methods. If concerns are identified, we require corrective action within agreed timeframes and may increase monitoring until the issue is resolved. We seek to work constructively with suppliers that show a genuine commitment to improvement, but we will not hesitate to suspend or end relationships where serious or repeated breaches occur. This risk-based approach helps protect workers and strengthens the integrity of the Man With Van Hollandpark supply chain.

Reporting Channels and Investigation

Man With Van Hollandpark encourages anyone who suspects modern slavery or related misconduct to report concerns promptly. Reporting channels are designed to be accessible, confidential, and free from retaliation. Concerns may be raised internally through line management, designated compliance personnel, or other established reporting routes. All reports are taken seriously and investigated proportionately, with records maintained to support follow-up actions. We also expect managers to respond immediately if they observe indicators such as restricted movement, unusual dependency, intimidation, or withholding of wages.

Where an allegation indicates possible criminal conduct, we will escalate it to the appropriate authorities and cooperate fully with any lawful inquiry. Individuals who raise concerns in good faith are protected from victimisation, dismissal, or disadvantage. This safeguarding culture is essential to the credibility of the Man With Van Hollandpark modern slavery framework and to ensuring that people feel safe to speak up. We also provide awareness briefings so that employees and suppliers can recognise warning signs and act without delay.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement and the measures supporting it are reviewed annually to ensure they remain effective, relevant, and aligned with legal requirements and business operations. The review considers audit outcomes, reported concerns, supplier performance, training completion, and any changes in risk profile. Lessons learned are used to improve policies, strengthen controls, and update responsibilities where needed. Through this annual cycle, Man With Van Hollandpark demonstrates an ongoing commitment to preventing exploitation and promoting ethical business conduct.

Man With Van Hollandpark understands that combating modern slavery requires vigilance, collaboration, and accountability. By combining a zero-tolerance stance, robust supplier audits, clear reporting channels, and a disciplined annual review process, we aim to uphold human rights across our activities and supply relationships. Our commitment is continuous, and we will keep refining our safeguards to ensure that our business contributes positively to a fair and lawful economy.
