Modern Slavery Statement
Holland Park Movers Modern Slavery Statement
This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps taken by Holland Park Movers to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. As a responsible moving and logistics business, we recognise our duty to respect and protect human rights and to ensure that all individuals associated with our activities are treated with dignity and fairness.
Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy
Holland Park Movers maintains a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, servitude, and child labour in all forms. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships. We expect the same high standards from all those we work with, including suppliers, subcontractors, partners, and agents involved in providing goods and services to our business.
No form of exploitation is acceptable within our company or supply chain. Any suspected breach of this policy will be treated as a serious matter and may result in the termination of contracts or working relationships, alongside notification to appropriate authorities where required.
Our Business and Supply Chain
Holland Park Movers provides moving, packing, storage, and associated services. Our supply chain includes providers of vehicles, fuel, packaging materials, storage facilities, technology, facilities management, and labour services. We recognise that risks of modern slavery can exist at various points in this chain, particularly where temporary, agency, or subcontracted labour is used or where products are sourced through complex global networks.
We are committed to increasing visibility within our supply chain and taking proportionate steps to understand and mitigate any identified risks.
Supplier Standards and Audits
All key suppliers and subcontractors are expected to comply with our ethical standards and to confirm that they do not engage in, support, or tolerate modern slavery or human trafficking. We seek to work only with organisations that share our values and can demonstrate responsible employment practices.
We conduct risk-based supplier reviews and audits, focusing on suppliers in higher-risk sectors or geographies, or where the use of low-skilled or temporary labour is prevalent. These reviews may include requesting information on labour practices, recruitment methods, right-to-work checks, and grievance mechanisms.
Where concerns are identified, we will work with suppliers to implement corrective actions within a reasonable timeframe. If meaningful improvements are not made, we reserve the right to reconsider or end the business relationship.
Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing
Holland Park Movers encourages all employees, contractors, suppliers, and other stakeholders to report any concerns about modern slavery or unethical practices. Individuals are encouraged to raise issues through their line manager or a senior manager, or via any established internal reporting channel they feel comfortable using.
Reports will be treated seriously and handled sensitively. We will not tolerate victimisation or retaliation against any person who raises a concern in good faith, even if it is not subsequently substantiated. All credible reports will be investigated and, where appropriate, remedial action will be taken.
Training and Awareness
We are committed to raising awareness of modern slavery among our employees and key partners. Training and guidance are provided to managers and staff most directly involved in recruitment, supplier management, and site operations. This training helps our people recognise signs of potential exploitation, understand how to report concerns, and appreciate the importance of ethical conduct.
Monitoring, Governance, and Annual Review
Responsibility for overseeing our approach to modern slavery rests with the senior management team at Holland Park Movers. They are accountable for ensuring that appropriate policies, procedures, and controls are in place and that these are effectively communicated and implemented throughout the business.
This statement and our underlying procedures are reviewed at least annually, or more frequently if required due to legislative changes, emerging risks, or significant developments in our operations or supply chain. The annual review considers the effectiveness of our actions, the outcomes of any audits or investigations, and opportunities for continuous improvement.
This Modern Slavery Statement has been approved by the leadership of Holland Park Movers and reflects our ongoing commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our business.
