Modern Slavery Statement
Modern Slavery Statement for Camden Movers
This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps Camden Movers takes to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to respect and uphold human rights and to act ethically in all areas of our business. This statement applies to all employees, agency workers, contractors, and suppliers engaged by Camden Movers.
Our Zero-Tolerance Policy
Camden Movers has a clear zero-tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, servitude, and human trafficking. We are committed to conducting our business in a manner that protects the dignity and rights of every individual. Any form of exploitation or abuse is strictly prohibited and is incompatible with our values and expectations.
All employees and suppliers are required to act in accordance with this zero-tolerance policy. Any breach is treated as a serious disciplinary matter and may result in termination of employment or contract, as well as referral to relevant authorities where appropriate.
Our Operations and Supply Chains
Camden Movers provides relocation and moving services, relying on a network of direct employees, subcontracted labour, vehicle providers, packaging suppliers, facilities services, and other business support functions. We understand that risks of modern slavery can exist at various levels of these supply chains, particularly where subcontracted labour or low-skilled work is involved.
We are committed to working only with suppliers and partners who share our values and can demonstrate that they have appropriate measures in place to prevent modern slavery within their own operations and supply networks.
Supplier Due Diligence and Audits
To minimise the risk of modern slavery in our supply chains, Camden Movers undertakes due diligence on new and existing suppliers. This may include assessing their labour practices, reviewing relevant policies, and requiring confirmation that they comply with applicable labour and human rights legislation.
We reserve the right to conduct audits of suppliers where we consider there may be a heightened risk or where concerns have been raised. These audits may involve reviewing documentation, interviewing relevant personnel, and verifying working conditions and pay practices. Suppliers are expected to cooperate fully with any such audits and to implement corrective actions promptly where issues are identified.
Continued failure by a supplier to meet our standards, or to remedy identified issues, may result in the suspension or termination of the business relationship.
Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing
Camden Movers encourages anyone who has concerns about potential modern slavery or human trafficking connected with our business to report those concerns without delay. This includes employees, agency workers, contractors, suppliers, and members of the public.
Reports can be made through internal management channels or through established whistleblowing procedures. Concerns may relate to suspected exploitation, unsafe or inhumane working conditions, withholding of wages, retention of identity documents, or any other practice suggestive of modern slavery.
All reports will be treated seriously and, as far as practicable, confidentially. Camden Movers will not tolerate any form of victimisation or retaliation against individuals who raise concerns in good faith. Where necessary, we will cooperate with law enforcement and relevant authorities to investigate and resolve reported issues.
Training and Awareness
We are committed to raising awareness of modern slavery risks within our organisation. Training and guidance are provided to relevant employees, particularly those involved in recruitment, procurement, and supplier management. This helps our teams to recognise warning signs and to respond appropriately if concerns arise.
We also engage with key suppliers to reinforce our expectations and to support the development of robust labour and human rights practices throughout our supply chains.
Monitoring, Governance, and Annual Review
The senior management of Camden Movers is responsible for overseeing our approach to modern slavery and ensuring that appropriate systems and controls are in place. We regularly review our policies, risk assessments, and due diligence activities to improve our effectiveness in identifying and addressing potential risks.
This Modern Slavery Statement will be reviewed at least once every twelve months, or more frequently if required by changes in legislation, business operations, or identified risks. The annual review will consider the outcomes of supplier audits, any reported concerns, and feedback from stakeholders, with the aim of strengthening our approach year on year.
By maintaining clear standards, robust reporting channels, and an ongoing programme of review and improvement, Camden Movers is committed to doing everything reasonably possible to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our business and supply chains.
