London House Removals: Modern Slavery Statement

London House Removals publishes this Modern Slavery Statement to reaffirm our unwavering commitment to preventing modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking across our operations and supply chain. This anti-slavery and human trafficking statement explains our policies and the actions we take to identify, prevent and mitigate the risks of exploitation in our moving and relocation services. We consider this anti-slavery statement to be integral to our values and corporate responsibility.

We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery. Our senior leadership team enforces clear expectations that all staff, contractors and suppliers respect human rights, provide safe working conditions and pay fair wages. London House Removals modern slavery statement is supported by mandatory internal training, regular communications and explicit contractual clauses forbidding exploitative practices.

As part of our modern slavery and human trafficking statement, we carry out due diligence and risk assessments on both direct operations and third-party relationships. We assess risk by geography, sector and supplier profile and maintain a register of high-risk suppliers for enhanced scrutiny. Our procurement procedures require evidence of labour standards, and we reserve the right to suspend relationships where unacceptable risks or violations are identified.

We operate a documented policy framework that mandates supplier audits and ongoing monitoring. Our supplier audit programme includes scheduled and unannounced visits, document reviews and worker interviews where appropriate. Audits are targeted at suppliers involved in logistics, packing materials and subcontracted labour, with corrective action plans required for any non-conformance. We retain audit records and track remediation to closure.

Key elements of our supplier assurance programme include:

• Pre-contract screening of labour practices and verification of identity and wage records;
• Periodic supplier audits and site inspections to verify compliance and working conditions;
• Contract clauses that allow termination for breaches related to modern slavery or trafficking.

We also integrate modern slavery considerations into tender evaluations and performance reviews, and we require suppliers to provide evidence of worker protections. If audits reveal issues, we undertake a measured approach: immediate remediation where possible, escalation for systemic failures, and termination where necessary to protect workers and our reputation.

We maintain multiple confidential reporting channels so employees, contractors and supply chain workers can raise concerns safely about suspected slavery or exploitation. These reporting channels include internal hotlines, anonymised reporting forms and designated safeguarding officers. All reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and handled in accordance with confidentiality and whistleblower protections. Reports trigger timely investigations and, where appropriate, engagement with external authorities.

Training is mandatory for staff with procurement, recruitment or contractor management responsibilities and is provided periodically to operational teams. Training covers identification of modern slavery indicators, how to escalate concerns and how to support potential victims. We also deliver supplier briefings to communicate our expectations for responsible labour practices.

Our grievance and remediation processes prioritise the welfare of affected workers. Where exploitation is identified, we cooperate with authorities and specialist organisations to facilitate victim support and ensure appropriate remedies. We maintain records of investigations, outcomes and remedial steps to inform continuous improvement.

Governance of our modern slavery policy is vested in the executive compliance committee which reviews issues, audit findings and remediation plans. Our board receives regular updates and approves strategic measures to reduce risk. We include modern slavery risk in our corporate risk register and ensure resources are allocated to prevention and response activities.

London House Removals is committed to transparency and continuous improvement. We monitor legislative developments and industry best practice to strengthen our approach to forced labour and trafficking. Our commitments are reinforced through procurement standards, employee obligations and supplier contracts that embed anti-slavery protections.

We will publish an annual review of this modern slavery statement and our actions. The annual review will summarise audit outcomes, training completion rates, reported incidents and remediation measures, and set objectives for the coming year. By maintaining clear policies, conducting supplier audits, providing robust reporting channels and performing rigorous annual reviews, London House Removals aims to minimise risk and contribute to the eradication of modern slavery from our operations and supply chains.
