Modern Slavery Statement for Croydon Movers

Croydon Movers is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with zero tolerance for modern slavery in any form. 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. As a trusted moving and relocation company, we recognise that the logistics and transport sector can present risks, particularly where subcontracting, temporary labour, and overseas sourcing are involved. We therefore apply clear controls to protect workers and uphold human dignity.

Our Commitment and Governance

We expect the highest standards of conduct from all employees, contractors, and suppliers. Our internal policies prohibit any form of exploitation, and this expectation is embedded in recruitment, procurement, and operational decision-making. Managers are responsible for identifying and addressing risk, while senior leadership reviews progress and ensures that our anti-slavery measures remain effective. We treat suspected breaches seriously and will take decisive action where required, including suspension or termination of relationships where a supplier fails to meet our standards.

In addition, all staff involved in purchasing, hiring, or supplier management are briefed on the warning signs of modern slavery. These include unusually low wages, restricted freedom of movement, retention of identity documents, unsafe accommodation, and excessive working hours. By maintaining awareness across the business, Croydon Movers strengthens its ability to spot and respond to risk early.

Our supply chain includes vehicle maintenance, packaging materials, equipment, cleaning services, and subcontracted transport support. We understand that some of these categories carry higher exposure to labour abuse than others, so we carry out proportionate supplier audits and due diligence checks. Where appropriate, suppliers are asked to confirm their own policies, working conditions, wage practices, and labour recruitment standards. We also reserve the right to request evidence and conduct follow-up reviews if concerns arise.

Risk Assessment and Supplier Standards

Suppliers are expected to share our commitment to ethical practices and to comply with all applicable labour and employment laws. New suppliers are assessed before engagement, and existing suppliers may be reviewed periodically based on risk level, geography, and type of service provided. If a supplier is unable to demonstrate adequate controls, we may require corrective action plans or end the relationship. This approach supports our broader effort to maintain a responsible croydon movers supply network.

We also encourage transparent record-keeping throughout the procurement process, including evidence of worker eligibility, subcontractor arrangements, and labour agency oversight. These checks help us identify weak points before they become serious issues and support a consistent standard across the business.

Our reporting channels are designed to allow concerns to be raised safely and in confidence. Employees, contractors, and suppliers are encouraged to report any suspected instance of modern slavery, unethical recruitment, or unsafe labour practices through internal management routes or formal escalation processes. Reports may be made without fear of retaliation, victimisation, or discrimination. All concerns are investigated promptly and handled with discretion, and where necessary we will involve appropriate external authorities.

We recognise that awareness is vital to prevention, so relevant team members receive guidance on recognising indicators of exploitation and understanding how to escalate issues. This is part of a wider compliance culture that supports responsible decision-making at every stage of our operations. The goal is not only to respond to incidents, but to build a workplace and supplier network where exploitation has no place.

To ensure this statement remains effective, Croydon Movers will conduct an annual review of its modern slavery controls, policies, and supplier oversight measures. This review will assess risk exposure, audit outcomes, reported concerns, and any changes in legislation or industry practice. Where improvements are identified, action will be taken to strengthen procedures and training. The review process reflects our belief that responsible business practice requires ongoing attention, not one-time compliance.

Through these measures, Croydon Movers reaffirms its commitment to preventing modern slavery and promoting ethical working conditions across all areas of the business. We will continue to improve our safeguards, work constructively with suppliers, and maintain a vigilant approach to labour standards. Our statement represents a clear promise that exploitation is incompatible with our values and our operations.
