Modern Slavery Statement for Office Removals

Our organisation is committed to the highest standards of ethical behaviour across all office removals and commercial moving activities. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our approach to preventing forced labour, human trafficking and related exploitation in our business and supply chains. We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery in office removals, office relocation and corporate removals services, and we expect the same standards from our partners.

Policy and Commitment

We maintain a clear and public policy that underscores zero tolerance of modern slavery in business removals and commercial moving projects. All staff and contractors receive training on identifying and responding to risks associated with labour exploitation. Our management team is responsible for ensuring that this policy is enforced across every stage of an office removal or office move, from initial quoting through to final delivery, and that ethical procurement principles guide our purchasing decisions.

To ensure transparency we adopt a risk-based approach to supplier oversight. Key elements include:

• Supplier due diligence: pre-engagement checks for labour practices and legal compliance in commercial moving suppliers.
• Contractual clauses: embedding anti-slavery and human trafficking clauses in contracts for business removals and relocation partners.
• Audit rights: we reserve the right to audit suppliers and subcontractors engaged in office removal services.

Supplier Audits and Monitoring

We carry out regular supplier audits to validate compliance with our standards across the office removal supply chain. Audits combine documentation reviews, on-site inspections where practical, and worker interviews conducted in a manner that protects confidentiality and safety. Findings are recorded and used to drive corrective actions; persistent non-compliance may result in contract termination. Our supplier evaluation process covers recruitment practices, wage payments, working hours, and health and safety procedures specific to commercial moving and business removals.

We maintain a register of suppliers and tiered risk assessments that prioritise audits where the risk of exploitation is highest. Higher-risk partners may be subject to more frequent reviews and mandatory remediation plans. We also use contractual performance indicators tied to ethical standards for all corporate removals and office relocation providers.

Reporting channels are central to our response framework. We provide secure and anonymous mechanisms for employees, contractors and third parties to report concerns about modern slavery or unethical practices during office removals. Reports can be made without fear of retaliation and are investigated promptly by trained compliance personnel. We ensure whistleblowers receive feedback on the outcome of inquiries in line with confidentiality requirements.

We require all staff involved in office removal operations and commercial moving logistics to complete awareness training. This training explains how to spot signs of forced labour, poor working conditions, and possible trafficking situations, and instructs personnel on the immediate steps to take if they suspect exploitation. Our approach balances operational continuity in business removals with the imperative to protect vulnerable workers.

Our leadership team conducts an annual review of anti-slavery measures, including supplier audits, training effectiveness, reporting statistics, and remediation outcomes. This review leads to a published update of policy and process improvements, demonstrating accountability for how we manage modern slavery risks across office relocation and removal activities. The annual review is used to set targets and allocate resources for the following year.

In summary, our Modern Slavery Statement for office removals reflects an ongoing commitment to ethical supply chains, proactive supplier audits, robust reporting channels and regular review. We will continue to strengthen our controls, collaborate with partners, and ensure that every office move or corporate removal we manage is free from exploitation. We will not tolerate modern slavery in any form and we will take decisive action where concerns are identified.
