Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement

This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement sets out the steps Isleworth Removals has taken, and continues to take, to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking are not taking place in our operations or supply chains. Isleworth Removals is committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships.

Our Business and Supply Chains

Isleworth Removals provides residential and commercial removals and associated services. Our supply chains include transport and storage providers, packaging material suppliers, facility services, labour providers, and professional services. We recognise that modern slavery can occur in any sector or country and we remain alert to potential risks within our own operations and those of our suppliers.

Zero-Tolerance Approach

We have a clear zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced or compulsory labour, and child labour. This applies to all employees, agency workers, contractors, and any third parties working with or on behalf of Isleworth Removals. We will not knowingly work with any organisation that does not share and uphold these values.

Any breach or suspected breach of this policy is treated as a serious matter and may result in the termination of contracts, partnerships, or employment, subject to applicable laws and procedures.

Policies and Governance

Our approach to preventing modern slavery is supported by internal policies on ethical conduct, recruitment, whistleblowing, and health and safety. These policies set expectations for behaviour, outline responsibilities, and provide guidance on identifying and reporting concerns. Management at all levels is responsible for ensuring that those reporting to them understand and comply with these policies.

We communicate our stance on modern slavery to employees and key suppliers to reinforce a culture of integrity and respect for human rights.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We understand that our greatest exposure to modern slavery risk is through our supply chains. To manage this risk, we undertake proportionate due diligence when selecting and reviewing suppliers. This may include assessing labour practices, reviewing relevant policies, and considering the country and sector risk associated with the supplier’s operations.

Where appropriate, we conduct supplier audits or request evidence of their own modern slavery prevention measures. These audits may include reviews of working conditions, recruitment practices, and subcontracting arrangements. If shortcomings are identified, we expect prompt corrective action and reserve the right to reconsider the business relationship where issues are not satisfactorily resolved.

Training and Awareness

We provide information and, where relevant, training to employees involved in procurement, operations, and people management to help them recognise indicators of modern slavery and understand the steps they should take to raise concerns. We encourage open discussion about ethical risks and responsibilities across the business.

Reporting Channels and Escalation

Isleworth Removals encourages all employees, contractors, and suppliers to report any concerns or suspicions of modern slavery in our operations or supply chains. Concerns can be raised through line managers, senior management, or our internal reporting procedures. Reports can be made in confidence, and we do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith.

All reports will be taken seriously and investigated promptly. Where appropriate, we will involve external authorities and cooperate fully with any official investigations. Findings are reviewed at a senior level, and corrective or preventive actions are implemented as necessary.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

We recognise that the fight against modern slavery is an ongoing process. Isleworth Removals is committed to continuously improving its systems and controls to identify, mitigate, and prevent the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking.

This statement and our supporting procedures are reviewed annually by senior management to ensure they remain effective and proportionate to our business. The review considers changes in our operations, developments in legislation and best practice, and any issues or incidents identified during the year. Where improvements are identified, we will implement them and communicate relevant changes to employees and suppliers.

This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement has been approved by the leadership of Isleworth Removals and represents our ongoing commitment to conducting business in a manner that respects and promotes human rights.
