Modern Slavery Statement for Removals Pimlico
Removals Pimlico is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent forced labour, human trafficking, servitude, and other forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can affect any industry, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any practice that undermines the dignity and freedom of individuals. Our approach is guided by ethical responsibility, legal compliance, and continuous improvement.
As a removal company, Pimlico Removals relies on a range of suppliers and service providers, including transport, packing materials, storage support, and subcontracted labour where applicable. We understand that risk can arise not only in direct employment but also through third parties. For that reason, we require all workers, managers, and decision-makers involved in our business to act in line with our standards. Any indication of coercion, deception, withheld identity documents, unfair recruitment fees, or unsafe working conditions is treated seriously.
Our anti-slavery commitment applies across all areas of the business. We expect our staff to remain alert to warning signs and to challenge anything that appears inconsistent with lawful and respectful employment practices. Removals Pimlico ensures that employment decisions are made freely, wages are paid fairly, and working hours are transparent. We also seek to promote awareness so that everyone connected to the company understands what modern slavery looks like and how to respond if concerns arise.
Supplier screening is a key part of our prevention strategy. Before engaging new vendors, Pimlico Removals assesses their labour standards, recruitment methods, and compliance history. Where appropriate, we carry out supplier audits and request supporting documentation to verify that workers are legally employed and treated properly. These audits may include checks on payroll practices, right-to-work controls, subcontracting arrangements, and the use of labour agencies. If deficiencies are identified, we expect corrective action within a defined timeframe.
We also maintain contractual expectations that prohibit modern slavery in any form. Suppliers are required to confirm that they comply with applicable labour laws and that they do not knowingly engage in exploitative conduct. Should a supplier fail to meet our standards, we may suspend the relationship, request remediation, or terminate the arrangement. This risk-based approach helps Removals Pimlico strengthen accountability across the supply chain while supporting practical and responsible business relationships.
Training and internal awareness are equally important. Our teams receive guidance on recognising signs of exploitation, including excessive control by supervisors, unexplained deductions from pay, restricted movement, or signs of intimidation. By embedding these principles into everyday management, Removals Pimlico reinforces a culture where human rights are protected and concerns are addressed early.
We encourage safe and confidential reporting through our internal reporting channels. Employees and contractors can raise concerns to their line manager, a senior leader, or an appointed compliance contact. Reports may be made without fear of retaliation, and all allegations are reviewed promptly and sensitively. Where a concern suggests a serious risk, we escalate it for investigation and, if necessary, involve the relevant authorities. Protecting whistleblowers and ensuring confidentiality are central to our reporting process.
Our business recognises that effective prevention depends on vigilance and cooperation. Therefore, any report relating to suspected exploitation is documented, assessed, and followed up until it is resolved. We also encourage those in managerial roles to monitor working conditions, labour sourcing, and supplier behaviour on an ongoing basis. This helps ensure that our modern slavery controls remain practical, current, and proportionate to the risks we face.
To make our commitment measurable, we conduct an annual review of this statement and the procedures that support it. The review considers audit findings, reported concerns, supplier performance, training activity, and any changes in legislation or business operations. Where improvements are needed, we update our controls and responsibilities accordingly. This annual review ensures that Removals Pimlico continues to strengthen its safeguards and respond to emerging risks.
This statement reflects the values of Removals Pimlico and our determination to operate ethically in every part of our business. We believe that preventing modern slavery is not a one-time exercise but an ongoing duty. Through a clear zero-tolerance policy, robust supplier audits, accessible reporting channels, and an annual review process, we aim to uphold the highest standards of conduct and support a supply chain free from exploitation.
