Lambeth Removals Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps Lambeth Removals has taken, and continues to take, to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking are not present in our business operations or our supply chains. Lambeth Removals operates in the removals and relocation sector and recognises its responsibility to uphold the highest ethical standards throughout all activities.

Our Zero-Tolerance Approach

Lambeth Removals adopts a strict zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour, and exploitation. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships. We expect the same high standards from everyone we work with, including employees, agency workers, subcontractors, and all suppliers within our supply chain.

We are dedicated to ensuring that no one who works for or with Lambeth Removals is subjected to any form of coercion, abuse, or inhumane treatment. Any breach of this policy is treated as a serious matter and may result in termination of contracts or working relationships.

Our Business and Supply Chains

Lambeth Removals provides residential and commercial removals, storage, and associated services. Our supply chains include providers of vehicles, fuel, packing materials, storage facilities, equipment, and labour services. We recognise that some areas of our supply chain, particularly those involving temporary labour or international sourcing of materials, may present higher risks of modern slavery, and we take additional steps to mitigate these risks.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We are committed to working only with suppliers who share our values and uphold robust labour and human rights standards. As part of our supplier due diligence process, we require new suppliers to confirm that they comply with relevant labour, employment, and human rights legislation and that they actively prevent modern slavery in their own operations and supply chains.

Lambeth Removals conducts periodic supplier audits, which may include questionnaires, document reviews, and on-site visits where appropriate. These audits are designed to assess compliance with our modern slavery expectations, identify potential risks, and drive continual improvement. Where non-compliance or areas of concern are identified, we work collaboratively with suppliers on corrective actions, and we reserve the right to cease working with any supplier that fails to address serious or repeated issues.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We encourage all employees, workers, suppliers, and other stakeholders to report any concerns related to modern slavery or human trafficking in our business or supply chains. Lambeth Removals maintains internal reporting channels that allow concerns to be raised confidentially and without fear of retaliation.

All reports are taken seriously and are promptly investigated by appropriate members of management. Where necessary, we will involve external advisors or authorities. We are committed to protecting anyone who raises a concern in good faith and ensuring that they are not subjected to any detriment for doing so.

Training and Awareness

To ensure a clear understanding of the risks of modern slavery and how to identify and respond to them, Lambeth Removals provides training and guidance to relevant employees, particularly those involved in recruitment, procurement, and supplier management. We also communicate our expectations to contractors and key suppliers, reinforcing the importance of ethical conduct and respect for human rights.

Ongoing Review and Annual Update

Lambeth Removals recognises that tackling modern slavery is an ongoing process that requires continuous monitoring and improvement. We review our modern slavery policies, due diligence procedures, and supplier engagement activities at least once a year to assess their effectiveness and to identify opportunities for enhancement.

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed and approved annually by the senior management team of Lambeth Removals. It reflects our continued commitment to preventing modern slavery in all aspects of our operations and to promoting a safe, fair, and respectful working environment for everyone connected to our business.
