Modern Slavery Statement for Canary Wharf Movers

Canary Wharf 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 within our operations and supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can take many forms, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any practice that exploits individuals or undermines their freedom and dignity.

Our business activities depend on the trust of customers, partners, and suppliers. For that reason, Canary Wharf Movers expects the highest ethical standards from everyone who works with or for us. We are committed to identifying risks, strengthening controls, and taking prompt action where concerns arise. This statement reflects our ongoing responsibility to help prevent abuse and protect vulnerable workers across all relevant business relationships.

As part of our commitment, we assess potential risks in recruitment, labour sourcing, transport, subcontracting, and procurement. We understand that moving, logistics, and related services may involve complex labour arrangements, so we aim to reduce the possibility of hidden exploitation. Our approach includes due diligence checks, supplier assessments, and internal training designed to help staff recognise warning signs of modern slavery.

Our Policies and Governance

The company’s anti-slavery framework is built into our wider governance arrangements. Senior management holds responsibility for ensuring that ethical standards are applied consistently and that concerns are investigated without delay. We expect managers to act decisively, and we require employees to follow procedures that support lawful, fair, and respectful employment practices.

Canary Wharf Movers does not tolerate forced labour, debt bondage, child labour, or any form of coercion. We also expect our contractors and suppliers to share this commitment. Where a breach of policy is identified, we may suspend, terminate, or refuse future business relationships. This is reinforced through contractual terms, onboarding checks, and ongoing monitoring.

Supplier Audits and Monitoring

Supplier risk is reviewed through a proportionate audit programme. We use a risk-based approach to examine labour standards, worker documentation, working hours, pay practices, and subcontracting arrangements. Higher-risk suppliers may be subject to additional review, evidence requests, or site visits. These supplier audits help us identify irregularities and support corrective action where improvements are needed.

Training, Reporting, and Remediation

Staff receive guidance on how to recognise indicators of modern slavery, including restricted movement, withheld wages, intimidation, and signs of poor accommodation or excessive control. We encourage an open culture where employees understand that concerns should be raised early. All reports are taken seriously, investigated promptly, and handled with sensitivity.

We provide clear reporting channels so that concerns can be raised through appropriate internal routes. Reports may be made to line managers, senior leadership, or designated compliance personnel, depending on the nature of the issue. We prohibit retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith, and we will support individuals involved in any investigation or remediation process.

If modern slavery is suspected or confirmed, we will work with relevant parties to protect affected individuals and to address the cause of the issue. This may include contract review, corrective action plans, staff retraining, escalation to authorities where appropriate, and strengthened checks on future engagements. Our objective is not only to respond to risk, but to prevent recurrence.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, current, and aligned with legal obligations and business activity. The review considers changes in operational risk, supplier performance, audit findings, workforce practices, and lessons learned from any reported concerns. Where necessary, we update policies, procedures, and training to strengthen our prevention measures.

Canary Wharf Movers views the prevention of modern slavery as a shared responsibility across the organisation. We will continue to improve our controls, reinforce our zero-tolerance stance, and promote ethical conduct throughout our operations and supply chain. Through vigilance, accountability, and regular review, we aim to uphold the rights and dignity of every person connected to our business.
