Modern Slavery Statement for Greenwich Removals

Greenwich Removals is committed to conducting business with integrity, dignity and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour and exploitation within our own operations and across our supply chain. As a responsible Greenwich removal company, we recognise that the moving, transport and logistics sectors can present risks, particularly where labour is subcontracted or services are delivered under time pressure. We therefore maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of slavery or exploitation.

Our approach is founded on ethical recruitment, fair working practices and clear oversight. We expect everyone working for or on behalf of Greenwich Removals to uphold the highest standards of conduct. This includes permanent staff, temporary workers, agency personnel and third-party providers. We regularly reinforce our expectations through internal briefings, policy updates and management review. By taking a proactive stance, Greenwich Removals aims to ensure that our services are delivered in a manner consistent with our values and legal responsibilities.

To support this commitment, Greenwich Removals undertakes careful due diligence on suppliers and subcontractors before entering into business relationships. Our procurement checks consider the nature of the work, the location of delivery, the labour model used and the supplier’s own policies on modern slavery. Where appropriate, we request evidence of employment rights compliance, right-to-work verification and relevant codes of conduct. We also reserve the right to conduct supplier audits and request corrective actions where risks are identified. These audits help us assess whether partners are meeting our expectations and whether additional safeguards are needed.

We recognise that prevention requires ongoing monitoring, not one-off assessment. Greenwich Removals therefore reviews higher-risk suppliers more frequently and may place conditions on continued engagement if concerns arise. Any supplier found to be in breach of our standards may be suspended or removed from our approved list. This measured but firm approach reflects our commitment to ethical operations across all Greenwich removals activities, including packing, storage, transport and associated support services.

Reporting Concerns and Raising Alerts

We encourage all employees, contractors and business partners to report any concern relating to suspected modern slavery, unsafe recruitment practices or unethical conduct. Reporting channels are designed to be accessible and confidential, allowing individuals to raise issues without fear of retaliation. Concerns may be escalated through line management, senior leadership or designated internal reporting routes, depending on the nature of the issue. All reports are treated seriously and investigated promptly in line with our procedures.

Where a concern is substantiated, Greenwich Removals will take appropriate remedial action. This may include enhanced monitoring, supplier remediation plans, suspension of work, referral to relevant authorities or termination of the relationship. We also support awareness training for staff so they can recognise indicators such as restriction of movement, withheld documents, deception over pay, excessive control or signs of coercion. Preventing abuse is a shared responsibility, and everyone at Greenwich Removals plays a part in maintaining a safe and lawful workplace.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

Our annual review process ensures that this statement remains current, effective and aligned with changes in legislation, operational risk and best practice. Each year, Greenwich Removals evaluates the performance of our policies, the outcomes of supplier audits, any reports received through our reporting channels and the effectiveness of employee training. Findings are considered by management and used to update controls, improve awareness and strengthen oversight.

We are also committed to continuous improvement across the broader Greenwich removal business. This includes reviewing contract terms, improving supplier onboarding questions and expanding staff education where necessary. As risks evolve, we will adapt our safeguards to ensure our zero-tolerance policy remains meaningful in practice. We believe that transparency, vigilance and accountability are essential to preventing exploitation and protecting vulnerable people.

This Modern Slavery Statement reflects the values of Greenwich Removals and our determination to operate responsibly. Through ethical sourcing, robust supplier audits, clear reporting channels and an annual review cycle, we aim to contribute to a supply chain and workplace free from modern slavery. Greenwich Removals remains committed to upholding human rights and delivering services with integrity, care and respect.
