Modern Slavery Statement for Canarywharf Removals

Canarywharf Removals is committed to conducting business with integrity, respect, and accountability. This modern slavery statement sets out the actions we take to prevent slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and all forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that a zero-tolerance approach is essential to protecting workers and upholding ethical standards across every part of our business.

Our Zero-Tolerance Policy

Our zero-tolerance policy applies to all employees, contractors, agency workers, and business partners. We do not permit any practice that may contribute to modern slavery, including debt bondage, withheld wages, coercion, or unsafe working conditions. Any evidence of abusive labour practices will be treated as a serious breach of our standards and may result in immediate termination of the relationship. As part of Canary Wharf removals operations, we expect everyone connected to our services to act lawfully and ethically at all times.

Embedding Ethical Practice

We train relevant staff to identify warning signs of exploitation and to challenge unacceptable conduct. This includes awareness of indicators such as restricted movement, poor accommodation, excessive hours, or lack of control over personal documents. By reinforcing these principles throughout the business, Canarywharf Removals aims to maintain a responsible culture that supports fair treatment and safe working conditions.

Supplier due diligence is a core part of our approach. Before engaging new suppliers, we assess their labour standards, recruitment practices, and compliance history. We require assurance that Canary Wharf Removals suppliers share our commitment to ethical conduct and legal compliance. Where necessary, we request evidence of policies, worker protections, and subcontracting controls to reduce modern slavery risk.

We also carry out supplier audits on a risk-based basis. These audits may include document reviews, site visits, and checks on payroll, working hours, and employment eligibility. If concerns arise, we expect prompt corrective action and reserve the right to suspend or end the relationship where standards are not met. This helps ensure that our removals company operations remain aligned with responsible sourcing principles.

Reporting Channels and Safeguards

We encourage anyone who suspects a breach of this statement to raise concerns without delay. Reports may be made through internal management channels, and all concerns are handled confidentially and sensitively. We prohibit retaliation against anyone who reports in good faith. Clear reporting channels are essential to identifying risks early and taking decisive action to protect affected individuals.

Where credible concerns are raised, we will investigate promptly, document findings, and implement corrective measures. This may include engaging with suppliers, improving oversight, or terminating a business relationship. Our aim is not only to respond to incidents but also to reduce the likelihood of future harm. The statement forms part of the wider ethical framework that guides Canarywharf Removals in all its activities.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This modern slavery statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective and relevant. The review considers changes in legislation, business structure, supplier risk, and the results of any audits or investigations. We use the findings to strengthen controls, refresh training, and update our due diligence processes. Through this cycle of review and improvement, Canary Wharf removals continues to reinforce its commitment to preventing exploitation.

We understand that eliminating modern slavery requires ongoing vigilance, cooperation, and leadership. Canarywharf Removals will continue to monitor risk, promote ethical standards, and act decisively where concerns are identified. Our commitment is clear: we will not tolerate slavery or exploitation in any form, and we will keep improving the systems that support that commitment.
