Modern Slavery Statement
Marylebone Movers Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement
This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement sets out the actions taken by Marylebone Movers to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our business operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to uphold human rights, promote ethical conduct, and ensure that all individuals connected with our services are treated with dignity and respect.
Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy
Marylebone Movers operates a strict zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms. This applies to our direct operations, our suppliers, and any third parties acting on our behalf. We do not tolerate forced labour, child labour, servitude, deceptive recruitment practices, or any exploitation of vulnerable individuals.
Our leadership team is responsible for promoting a culture where ethical conduct is expected and enforced. Managers at all levels are tasked with ensuring that our policies are understood, implemented, and regularly reinforced through training, communication, and example.
Our Business and Supply Chains
Marylebone Movers provides professional moving and relocation services. Our activities involve the use of vehicles, storage facilities, packing materials, and subcontracted labour when required. Our supply chain includes providers of transport and logistics services, warehouse and storage solutions, equipment, packaging, and facilities management.
We are committed to working only with suppliers and partners that share our values and comply with relevant legislation relating to modern slavery and human rights. We expect all parties in our supply chain to operate transparently and ethically.
Supplier Standards and Audits
To uphold our zero-tolerance approach, we apply clear expectations to our suppliers and contractors. We seek to engage with reputable suppliers that can demonstrate robust labour practices, legal compliance, and respect for human rights.
Supplier assessments form part of our due diligence. Where appropriate, we conduct audits and request information regarding employment conditions, recruitment practices, worker welfare, and compliance with modern slavery laws. If any supplier is unable or unwilling to address concerns raised during an assessment or audit, we reserve the right to terminate the relationship.
We also encourage long-term collaboration with key suppliers so that continuous improvements can be made to working conditions, transparency, and monitoring across our shared supply chain.
Policies, Training, and Awareness
Our internal policies set out clear standards for ethical behaviour, respect, and fair treatment. These policies apply to all employees and contractors and reinforce our prohibition of forced labour, discrimination, harassment, and exploitative practices.
Employees whose roles involve managing suppliers, recruitment, or on-site operations receive guidance on recognising signs of modern slavery and how to respond to concerns. We are committed to building awareness so that modern slavery risks are identified early and addressed effectively.
Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing
Marylebone Movers encourages employees, contractors, suppliers, and any other stakeholders to speak up if they suspect any instance of modern slavery or unethical conduct connected to our business or supply chains. Concerns can be raised through internal reporting channels or directly to management at any time.
We will investigate all reports promptly, confidentially, and sensitively, ensuring that individuals who raise concerns in good faith are protected from victimisation or retaliation. Where we identify breaches or potential breaches, we will take decisive action, which may include working with authorities or ending commercial relationships.
Continuous Improvement and Annual Review
We recognise that tackling modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility. Marylebone Movers is committed to continuously improving our processes, assessments, and training so that we can better identify and mitigate risks in a changing environment.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually by our leadership team to ensure it remains accurate, effective, and aligned with legal requirements and best practice. As part of this review, we evaluate the effectiveness of our supplier controls, risk assessments, training activities, and incident reporting procedures, and make improvements where necessary.
This statement reflects the position of Marylebone Movers for the latest financial year and has been approved by the company’s leadership team.
