Modern Slavery Statement for Movers To
This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the actions taken by Movers To to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation within our operations and supply chains. Movers To is committed to acting ethically, with integrity and transparency in all business dealings, and to implementing effective systems and controls to safeguard human rights.
Our Zero-Tolerance Approach
Movers To maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. We do not tolerate any practice that exploits individuals, undermines their dignity, or deprives them of their basic rights. This applies to our own operations as well as to all third parties that supply goods or services to us, including contractors, agents, and other business partners.
All employees, whether permanent, temporary, or contract, are expected to uphold our commitment to fair and lawful working conditions. Any breach of this policy is treated as a serious disciplinary matter and may result in termination of employment or business relationships.
Our Supply Chain Standards
Our supply chains include logistics providers, vehicle and equipment suppliers, technology partners, and a range of professional and operational service providers. We are committed to working only with suppliers that share our values and demonstrate respect for human rights and labour standards.
Movers To requires suppliers to comply with all applicable labour, employment, and human rights laws in the jurisdictions in which they operate. We seek to incorporate modern slavery clauses into relevant contracts, setting clear expectations for ethical conduct, labour conditions, and transparency regarding sourcing and recruitment practices.
Supplier Due Diligence and Audits
We conduct proportionate due diligence on existing and prospective suppliers, with a focus on identifying and mitigating modern slavery risks. This may include assessing the nature of the services provided, the geographic location of operations, the use of subcontractors, and the vulnerability of workers in particular sectors.
Movers To reserves the right to audit suppliers to verify compliance with our standards. Audits may be conducted directly by Movers To or by independent third parties. Where non-compliance or elevated risk is identified, we will work with the supplier to implement corrective actions within a reasonable timeframe. If a supplier fails to remedy identified issues or refuses to cooperate, Movers To may suspend or terminate the business relationship.
Reporting Concerns and Whistleblowing
We encourage employees, contractors, suppliers, and other stakeholders to report any concerns or suspicions related to modern slavery or human trafficking within our operations or supply chains. Concerns may include unethical recruitment practices, withholding of identity documents, excessive working hours, unsafe working conditions, or any indication of coercion or exploitation.
Movers To provides internal reporting channels so that individuals can raise issues in confidence and without fear of retaliation. All reports are taken seriously and investigated promptly and fairly. Where appropriate, we will cooperate with law enforcement or regulatory authorities and take immediate steps to safeguard any individuals at risk.
Training and Awareness
To support the effective implementation of this Statement, Movers To provides training and guidance to relevant employees, particularly those involved in procurement, supplier management, and human resources. Training covers the indicators of modern slavery, our internal procedures for risk assessment, and how to respond to and report concerns.
We aim to build a culture in which respect for human rights is embedded in day-to-day decision-making, and in which individuals feel empowered to speak up when they observe potential issues.
Monitoring, Governance, and Annual Review
Responsibility for overseeing our approach to modern slavery rests with the senior management of Movers To. We regularly review the effectiveness of our policies, risk assessments, and due diligence processes, making improvements where needed to address emerging risks and best practice developments.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least annually to ensure it remains accurate, relevant, and aligned with applicable legislation and guidance. Updates will take into account changes in our business operations, supply chains, and risk profile, as well as lessons learned from audits, investigations, and stakeholder feedback.
Movers To remains fully committed to continuous improvement in the prevention of modern slavery and to maintaining transparent and responsible business practices across all aspects of our operations.
