Greenwich Removals Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by Greenwich Removals to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to uphold and promote human rights and to ensure that the services we provide are delivered ethically, transparently, and with respect for every individual.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

Greenwich Removals adopts a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour, and all forms of exploitation. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships and to implementing and maintaining effective systems and controls to prevent modern slavery from taking place anywhere in our business or in our supply chains.

All employees, temporary workers, contractors, and suppliers engaged by Greenwich Removals are expected to share this commitment. Any actual or suspected instance of modern slavery related to our activities will be treated as a serious breach of policy and may result in termination of contracts, reporting to relevant authorities, and other appropriate actions.

Our Business and Supply Chains

Greenwich Removals operates as a removals and relocation services provider, working with a range of suppliers including transport providers, storage facilities, packing material suppliers, facilities services, and labour agencies. We recognise that some areas of our supply chains may present a higher risk of labour exploitation and we are focused on identifying, monitoring, and mitigating these risks.

We seek to build long-term, transparent relationships with suppliers that demonstrate responsible employment practices and adherence to all applicable labour and human rights legislation.

Supplier Standards and Audits

We require our key suppliers and contractors to comply with our ethical standards, including our zero-tolerance stance on modern slavery. When entering into new supplier relationships or renewing contracts, we assess the supplier’s approach to labour standards, worker welfare, and compliance with modern slavery legislation.

Greenwich Removals conducts risk-based supplier reviews and audits to verify that our standards are met. These may include requesting documented evidence of right to work checks, recruitment practices, wage and working hour records, and policies relating to forced labour and human trafficking. Where appropriate, we may conduct site visits or require suppliers to complete self-assessment questionnaires to confirm their compliance.

Where non-compliance is identified, we will work with the supplier to agree clear corrective actions and timescales. If satisfactory improvements are not made, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate the business relationship.

Employee Awareness, Training, and Reporting Channels

Employees are informed of our position on modern slavery as part of their induction and through ongoing communications. Relevant staff members, particularly those involved in procurement, supplier management, and recruitment, receive additional guidance on recognising warning signs of exploitation and on the steps to take if concerns arise.

Greenwich Removals encourages all staff, suppliers, and other stakeholders to report any suspicions or concerns about modern slavery in our business or supply chains. Concerns can be raised confidentially through internal reporting routes, including line management or senior management. Reports will be taken seriously, investigated promptly, and handled sensitively, with no retaliation against any person who raises a concern in good faith.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

We are committed to continually improving our approach to preventing modern slavery. This includes regularly reviewing our policies, risk assessments, and due diligence procedures, and updating our practices in line with legal requirements and recognised best practice. We will also consider feedback from employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders as part of this process.

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed and approved by the senior management of Greenwich Removals on an annual basis. As part of the review, we evaluate the effectiveness of our controls, our supplier oversight activities, and the adequacy of our training and reporting mechanisms, taking action where necessary to strengthen our response to the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking.

By publishing this Statement, Greenwich Removals reaffirms its commitment to operating responsibly, upholding human dignity, and contributing to the eradication of modern slavery in all its forms.
