Modern Slavery Statement for Removal Company Pimlico

At Removal Company Pimlico, we are committed to conducting our business with integrity, dignity, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation in our operations and supply chain. We recognise that the removal industry can involve multiple subcontractors, transport partners, and third-party suppliers, so maintaining ethical standards is essential.

Our approach is based on a zero-tolerance policy toward all forms of modern slavery. We do not accept, condone, or ignore any practice that abuses vulnerable people or undermines lawful employment. This commitment applies to our workforce, agency workers, contractors, and suppliers. Any breach of this principle is treated as a serious matter and may result in termination of contracts or other appropriate action.

As part of our wider governance framework, Removal Company Pimlico ensures that recruitment, onboarding, and commercial relationships are managed responsibly. We expect all those working with us to comply with labour laws, provide fair wages, and respect safe working conditions. Where risks are identified, we act promptly to investigate and improve controls.

We also require our suppliers to share our ethical standards. Before engaging new partners, we assess their policies, labour practices, and ability to demonstrate compliance with anti-slavery expectations. Existing suppliers are reviewed periodically, and higher-risk relationships may be subject to more detailed scrutiny. This helps us identify warning signs such as unusual subcontracting, poor record-keeping, or unclear worker status.

Supplier audits are an important part of our due diligence. These audits may include document checks, workforce reviews, site assessments, and discussions with management about recruitment and employment practices. When a concern is found, we request corrective action and monitor progress. If the issue is serious or unresolved, we will reconsider the relationship. Through these measures, Removal Company Pimlico aims to keep its supply chain transparent and accountable.

Our reporting channels are designed to make it easier for employees, workers, and partners to raise concerns in confidence. We encourage anyone who suspects exploitation, coercion, or unsafe labour practices to report it through the relevant internal reporting route. Concerns are taken seriously, investigated fairly, and handled with appropriate confidentiality. We prohibit retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith.

Training and awareness are also central to our anti-slavery approach. Managers and relevant staff are briefed on how to recognise indicators of modern slavery, including restricted movement, intimidation, document retention, and signs of debt bondage. By improving awareness, Removal Company Pimlico strengthens its ability to prevent abuse before it occurs.

We understand that risk management is not a one-time exercise. Our policies are reviewed to reflect changes in legislation, business structure, and supply chain risk. The board and senior leadership remain responsible for ensuring that anti-slavery controls are embedded into everyday practice. This includes supporting ethical procurement, maintaining proper records, and reinforcing our zero-tolerance position.

This statement is subject to an annual review to confirm its effectiveness and identify opportunities for improvement. Each year, we assess our progress, review supplier audit findings, evaluate reporting outcomes, and update our response to emerging risks. By continuously improving our standards, Removal Company Pimlico reinforces its commitment to ethical operations and the prevention of modern slavery in all forms.
