Chelsea Man and Van Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps Chelsea Man and Van has taken, and continues to take, to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery is a serious crime and a violation of fundamental human rights, and we are committed to playing our part in eliminating it from the moving and logistics sector.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

Chelsea Man and Van adopts a clear zero-tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, child labour, servitude and exploitation. This applies to every aspect of our business and to all individuals working for or on behalf of us, in any capacity. We expect the same high standards from all our suppliers, contractors and business partners.

All directors, managers, employees and labour providers are required to act with integrity and to uphold this policy. Any conduct that is inconsistent with our zero-tolerance stance is treated as a serious matter and may result in disciplinary action or the termination of business relationships.

Our Business and Supply Chain

Chelsea Man and Van provides moving, transportation and related services. Our supply chain includes vehicle providers, fuel suppliers, equipment and packaging providers, facilities services, recruitment agencies and other professional service partners. We recognise that risks may arise at various stages within these supply chains and we are committed to identifying, assessing and addressing those risks.

Risk Assessment and Due Diligence

We conduct ongoing risk assessments to identify areas of our operations and supply chains that could be vulnerable to modern slavery. In particular, we focus on the use of temporary labour, outsourced services and suppliers operating in higher risk sectors or regions. Where heightened risks are identified, we apply enhanced due diligence and monitoring measures.

Due diligence may include requesting information on labour practices, reviewing relevant policies and procedures, assessing compliance records and evaluating how suppliers manage their own supply chains. We prioritise working with organisations that demonstrate a genuine commitment to ethical conduct and respect for human rights.

Supplier Standards and Audits

All suppliers and contractors are expected to comply with our modern slavery requirements as a condition of doing business with Chelsea Man and Van. We communicate our expectations clearly and require that suppliers ensure their own subcontractors and business partners uphold equivalent standards.

We undertake proportionate supplier audits to assess compliance. These audits may be performed through questionnaires, document reviews or on-site visits, depending on the level of risk and the nature of the relationship. Where non-compliance is identified, we work with the supplier to implement corrective actions within defined timeframes. If issues are not resolved, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate the relationship.

Training and Awareness

We provide appropriate training and guidance to relevant employees so they can recognise indicators of modern slavery and understand how to respond to concerns. Managers involved in procurement, recruitment and supplier management receive focused information on risk indicators and reporting obligations. We also promote awareness of modern slavery issues across the business to reinforce our zero-tolerance culture.

Reporting Concerns and Protection

Chelsea Man and Van encourages all employees, suppliers and other stakeholders to report any suspicion or concern about modern slavery connected to our business or supply chain. Concerns can be raised through internal reporting channels, directly to line managers, senior management or through existing reporting procedures within the company.

All reports are treated seriously and, where appropriate, investigated promptly and sensitively. We will not tolerate any form of victimisation or retaliation against individuals who raise concerns in good faith. Confidentiality is respected as far as is compatible with conducting a thorough investigation and taking necessary action.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

We are committed to continuous improvement in our efforts to combat modern slavery. Chelsea Man and Van regularly reviews its policies, risk assessments, due diligence processes and supplier engagement to strengthen our controls and address emerging risks.

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed and updated at least annually to ensure it remains effective and reflective of our current practices, legal requirements and industry expectations. The review is overseen by senior management, who are responsible for ensuring that adequate resources and leadership are in place to deliver on our commitments.

By publishing this statement, Chelsea Man and Van reaffirms its commitment to ethical conduct, respect for human rights and the prevention of modern slavery in all aspects of our business and supply chains.
