Modern Slavery Statement — Office Removals London
Office Removals London declares a firm, company-wide commitment to eradicating slavery and human trafficking across all operations and supply chains. This statement explains our approach to preventing modern slavery within our business, in every office removal London project, and in relationships with suppliers and contractors. We recognise the responsibility that comes with commercial removals London work and commit to continuous improvement.Zero-Tolerance Policy
Our policy is clear: we have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. This applies to all employees, sub-contractors, drivers, warehouse staff and third-party partners engaged in office removal services in London. Any breach of our anti-slavery standards will trigger immediate investigation and, where appropriate, contractual termination and legal action. We also offer protection to whistleblowers and ensure no victimisation of those raising concerns.
Scope and Commitments
The scope covers permanent employees, agency workers and suppliers used for commercial and residential moves. For every London office relocation and office move project we undertake, we require adherence to our supplier code of conduct, periodic checks and contractual clauses prohibiting exploitative practices. We are committed to transparency and accountability across our operations, embedding anti-slavery clauses in contracts and requiring evidence of compliance from key vendors.Supplier Due Diligence and Audits
We operate a robust supplier management programme for all partners involved in office removals in London. Suppliers are evaluated before onboarding and reassessed regularly. Our procurement process includes verification of employment practices, right-to-work checks, and documentary evidence of lawful pay and working conditions. Non-compliant suppliers are subject to remediation plans or removal from our approved list.
Supplier audits are conducted on a risk-based schedule and include on-site inspections, payroll reviews and worker interviews where permitted. Audits are carried out by trained compliance staff or independent auditors. We prioritise areas with higher vulnerability such as manual handling teams, drivers and packing crews. Key audit checks include:
- Verification of background checks and right-to-work documentation
- Assessment of recruitment fees and indebtedness risks
- Review of working hours, wages and accommodation where provided
Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing
We provide multiple safe and confidential channels to report suspected modern slavery in any London office removal activity. Reports can be raised internally to managers or via an anonymous reporting mechanism available to staff and external parties. All reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and independently, and appropriate remedial or disciplinary action will follow if issues are substantiated.
Training and awareness form a central part of our prevention strategy. Employees, contractors and key suppliers receive regular training on identifying signs of exploitation and the steps to take when concerns arise. Training materials include example scenarios specific to London office removals and commercial relocation work, ensuring personnel know how to escalate issues and support potential victims.
Annual Review and Governance: We review this modern slavery statement at least once every 12 months to assess effectiveness and update our policies. The board and senior management receive regular reports on audit outcomes, remediation progress, training uptake and incident resolution. Metrics used for evaluation include supplier compliance rates, number of audits completed, reports received and outcomes of investigations. Continuous improvement drives our approach to preventing slavery in all London office removal operations.
Remediation and enforcement steps are proportionate and victim-centred. Where modern slavery or forced labour is identified, we will prioritise the welfare of affected individuals, cooperate with law enforcement and implement corrective actions across our supply chain. For systemic issues, we will re-evaluate supplier relationships, impose penalties or terminate contracts as necessary.
By publishing this statement, Office Removals London reaffirms a continued and active commitment to combatting modern slavery within our business and in suppliers used for office removal services across London. We will not tolerate any form of exploitation and will work collaboratively with partners to uphold high ethical standards in all relocations and commercial removals London projects.
This statement is approved by senior management and will be published internally and externally as part of our transparency obligations. We remain committed to ensuring that every London office removal we manage operates with integrity and respect for human rights.
