Modern Slavery Statement for Canarywharf Movers

Canarywharf Movers is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking in any part of our operations or supply chain. We recognise that the moving and logistics sector can present risks due to subcontracting, temporary labour, and third-party services. For that reason, our approach is rooted in prevention, monitoring, and accountability.

Our Zero-Tolerance Policy

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward all forms of modern slavery. No manager, employee, contractor, or supplier acting on behalf of Canarywharf Movers may engage in practices that exploit workers, restrict freedom, withhold identification documents, or impose unlawful working conditions. Any breach of this policy is treated as a serious matter and may lead to contract termination, disciplinary action, or referral to the appropriate authorities. We expect every person involved in our business to uphold ethical recruitment, lawful wages, and safe working conditions.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

Our Canarywharf Movers modern slavery commitments extend throughout our supplier base. Before appointing a supplier, we assess their labour practices, ownership structure, and compliance history. We ask key suppliers to confirm that they maintain their own anti-slavery controls, particularly where they provide transport, storage, packing, cleaning, or labour agency services. Where risk is identified, we may request additional evidence, including worker policies, payroll checks, and recruitment records.

Supplier Audits and Monitoring

We carry out periodic supplier audits based on risk, service type, and geographic location. These audits may include document reviews, site visits, and interviews with management to verify that workers are treated fairly and voluntarily. If any concerns arise, we work with the supplier to set corrective actions and timelines. Where improvement is not demonstrated, we will suspend or end the relationship. Our goal is to ensure that every link in the supply chain reflects our values and supports a safe, lawful, and dignified workplace.

We also expect our internal teams to remain vigilant. Staff involved in procurement, operations, and workforce planning receive guidance on spotting warning signs such as unusual deductions, restricted movement, dependence on employers for housing, or signs of coercion. This awareness helps us identify risks early and respond appropriately. Modern slavery prevention is not a one-time exercise; it is part of everyday operational responsibility.

Reporting Channels and Protection

Canarywharf Movers provides clear reporting channels so concerns can be raised safely and without fear of retaliation. Employees, contractors, and suppliers are encouraged to report suspected modern slavery issues to management or through our internal reporting process. Reports may be made anonymously where permitted, and all concerns are handled confidentially and investigated promptly. We do not tolerate victimisation of any person who raises a concern in good faith. Protecting whistleblowers is essential to ensuring trust and enabling early intervention.

Training, Responsibility, and Annual Review

Responsibility for implementing this statement sits with senior leadership, who review risks, approve corrective action, and ensure appropriate resources are available. We support this by providing training to relevant staff so they understand their responsibilities and can recognise potential indicators of exploitation. Training is refreshed regularly to reflect changes in law, industry practice, and risk profile.

We are committed to an annual review of this statement and our anti-slavery controls. Each year we assess the effectiveness of our policies, supplier checks, audit outcomes, and reporting mechanisms. The review considers whether additional safeguards are needed and whether our procedures remain proportionate to the risks faced by the business. Continuous improvement is central to our approach, and we aim to strengthen our standards year after year.

This statement reflects the ongoing commitment of Canarywharf Movers to uphold human dignity across our business and supply chains. By combining a zero-tolerance policy, robust supplier audits, accessible reporting channels, and annual review, we seek to minimise risk and promote responsible business conduct. We will continue to monitor, improve, and reinforce these measures so that our operations remain aligned with the highest ethical standards.
