Fulham Removals Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the actions and commitments of Fulham Removals to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. It covers our approach to risk management, supplier engagement, reporting channels, and continuous improvement in alignment with our ethical and legal responsibilities.

Our Zero-Tolerance Approach

Fulham Removals has a clear and uncompromising zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation. We are committed to conducting our business in a manner that respects the rights and dignity of every individual and to taking robust action wherever we identify a risk or potential breach.

This commitment applies to all aspects of our business activities, including employee relations, subcontracted services, and relationships with suppliers and business partners. We expect everyone who works with or for Fulham Removals to share this commitment and to uphold the highest standards of integrity and transparency.

Governance and Responsibilities

The senior management team at Fulham Removals has overall responsibility for ensuring that this statement is implemented and maintained. Managers at all levels are responsible for promoting awareness of modern slavery risks, embedding our zero-tolerance stance within day-to-day operations, and ensuring that colleagues understand the standards expected of them.

All employees are required to act ethically and to report any concerns about potential modern slavery risks or incidents. Compliance with this statement forms part of our broader approach to responsible business conduct and workforce welfare.

Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

We recognise that the most significant modern slavery risks can arise in supply chains. Fulham Removals therefore applies due diligence measures when selecting and managing suppliers, subcontractors, and other third parties involved in our services, such as packing materials, storage facilities, vehicle maintenance, and labour provision.

Our approach includes risk-based supplier assessments to identify higher-risk categories or locations, clear contractual expectations that suppliers must prohibit modern slavery and adhere to applicable labour laws, and periodic supplier audits, which may be conducted through questionnaires, requests for documentation, site visits, or discussions with management. Where concerns are identified, we work with suppliers to develop corrective action plans and timeframes for improvement, and we reserve the right to suspend or terminate relationships with suppliers that are unwilling or unable to meet our standards.

Training and Awareness

Fulham Removals is committed to raising awareness of modern slavery among employees and key suppliers. Training and communication materials are used to help colleagues recognise indicators of forced labour or exploitation, understand the importance of ethical recruitment and payment practices, and follow the correct procedures for escalating concerns.

We continue to review the content and reach of our training so that it remains relevant to our operations and evolving best practice.

Reporting Channels and Protection

We encourage anyone working for or with Fulham Removals to report concerns about modern slavery or unethical practices as early as possible. Concerns can be raised through internal management channels or through any established company reporting route. Reports may relate to our own operations or to those of our suppliers and business partners.

Fulham Removals does not tolerate victimisation or retaliation against any person who raises a concern in good faith. All reports are treated seriously, handled sensitively, and, where appropriate, investigated promptly. Where issues are identified, we take proportionate action, which may include engagement with suppliers, remedial steps for affected individuals, disciplinary measures, or notifying relevant authorities.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

Our efforts to combat modern slavery are part of an ongoing process of improvement. We regularly assess the effectiveness of our policies, procedures, and due diligence activities, taking account of operational changes, emerging risks, and stakeholder feedback. Key learning points are used to strengthen our controls, guidance, and training.

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least once every year by senior management to ensure it remains accurate, relevant, and aligned with applicable legislation and good practice. Any updates or enhancements arising from the annual review are incorporated into our internal procedures and communicated to employees and relevant suppliers.

Fulham Removals remains firmly committed to acting ethically, promoting safe and fair working conditions, and working with our partners to eliminate modern slavery in all its forms.
