Modern Slavery Statement — Waterloo Man with Van Commitment

Waterloo Man with Van confirms a firm, company-wide stance against all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. This statement sets out our policy, controls and commitments across our operations and supply chain. We operate a zero-tolerance policy toward forced labour, debt bondage, and any coercive labour practices. As a responsible Waterloo man and van operator, we embed ethical standards into everyday practices and decisions.

Our approach is built on transparency and continuous improvement. We require that every colleague, contractor and third-party supplier understands that exploitation has no place in our services. We publish clear standards for recruitment, working hours and pay, and we insist that all workers are treated with dignity. All staff receive training on recognising signs of modern slavery and the correct actions to take if concerns arise.

The Waterloo removal van team enforces regular checks and compliance routines. We carry out due diligence during supplier selection and maintain contractual protections that require suppliers to adhere to anti-slavery laws and best practices. Any breach of these expectations activates our escalation procedures and may result in contract termination.

Zero-Tolerance Policy, Supplier Audits and Controls

We have a strict zero-tolerance stance. Our zero-tolerance policy applies to the whole group including drivers, logistics partners and ancillary services. The policy is enforced through written codes, contractual clauses and mandatory training for everyone involved in our Waterloo man-with-van operations. Failure to comply carries clear disciplinary or contractual consequences.

Supplier audits form a central part of our assurance program. We perform risk-based audits, both remote and on-site, focusing on recruitment practices, wage records and working conditions. These audits use a mix of documentary review and direct worker interviews, and we prioritise suppliers to assess based on risk factors such as geography, industry and contract value.

We keep records of audit findings and corrective action plans. Our procurement policy requires suppliers to remediate issues promptly. If remediation is not satisfactory, we will cease relationships and seek alternative providers that align with our ethical standards. Waterloo removal service partners are expected to cooperate fully with these audits.

Reporting Channels, Protection and Annual Review

We maintain multiple, accessible reporting channels so concerns can be raised safely and confidentially. These include an internal reporting hotline, an anonymous reporting mechanism and direct reporting to designated compliance officers. All reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and documented.

To protect those who report concerns, we enforce strict non-retaliation provisions and offer support to anyone who may be vulnerable. Reports are triaged to ensure the safety of affected individuals and to coordinate with law enforcement or specialist agencies when necessary. Our reporting processes are routinely reviewed to ensure accessibility for all workers across the Waterloo man and van network.

We commit to an annual review cycle to assess the effectiveness of our anti-slavery measures. Each year the leadership team undertakes a formal review of policies, training completion, audit outcomes and remediation progress. The results inform updated action plans and resource allocation to strengthen prevention, detection and response. This statement is reviewed and republished annually to reflect progress and changes in legislation or operational risk.

Key elements of our continued programme include:

• Ongoing training for staff and partners.
• Robust supplier due diligence and regular audits.
• Clear reporting channels and protection for whistleblowers.
• Annual management review and public reporting of improvements.

As the Waterloo removal van operator committed to responsible business, we continually strive to eliminate modern slavery risks from our activities. We expect the same high standards from our suppliers and partners and will not tolerate practices that exploit people. This statement reflects our ongoing pledge to uphold human rights across all aspects of our business.
