Modern Slavery Statement
Bromley Movers Modern Slavery Statement
This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps Bromley Movers has taken, and continues to take, to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking are not taking place within our operations or supply chains. Bromley Movers recognises its responsibility to act ethically and with integrity in all business relationships and to implement effective systems and controls to safeguard against any form of modern slavery.
Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy
Bromley Movers operates under a clear and unequivocal zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking. We do not tolerate any form of forced labour, servitude, bonded labour, child labour, or exploitation within our business or supply chain. This commitment applies to all employees, agency workers, contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers who work with or on behalf of Bromley Movers.
All commercial decisions and partnerships must align with this policy. Any breach, or suspected breach, of our zero-tolerance stance is treated as a serious matter that may result in the termination of contracts or working relationships, and, where appropriate, reporting to relevant authorities.
Our Business and Supply Chains
Bromley Movers provides moving and relocation services, utilising a network of employees, subcontracted crews, vehicle providers, equipment suppliers, and other service partners. We recognise that risks can exist at various points in these chains, especially where labour is sourced through third parties or where goods and services originate from higher-risk sectors or regions.
We aim to work only with suppliers and partners that share our values and demonstrate a genuine commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in their own operations.
Supplier Standards and Audits
We expect all suppliers and contractors to comply with all applicable laws relating to labour, human rights, and modern slavery. Our supplier onboarding process includes an assessment of ethical practices and labour standards, and we clearly communicate our zero-tolerance policy to all new and existing partners.
Bromley Movers conducts risk-based supplier audits and reviews. These may include document checks, declarations of compliance, and where appropriate, site visits to suppliers or subcontractors. Any supplier found to present an unacceptable risk, or to be in breach of our standards, will be required to implement corrective actions within an agreed timeframe. Failure to do so may lead to suspension or termination of the business relationship.
Training, Awareness, and Responsibility
Responsibility for overseeing our modern slavery controls rests with the senior management of Bromley Movers, who ensure that this statement and related policies are implemented and maintained. Managers involved in procurement, recruitment, and operations receive guidance on identifying potential indicators of modern slavery and the appropriate steps to take if concerns arise.
We promote awareness of modern slavery risks among our workforce, encouraging all colleagues to remain vigilant and to act immediately if they have any suspicion that exploitation may be occurring in any part of our operations or supply chains.
Reporting Concerns and Whistleblowing Channels
Bromley Movers actively encourages the reporting of any concerns or suspicions related to modern slavery or human trafficking. Employees, contractors, suppliers, and other stakeholders can raise concerns in confidence with line managers or senior management, or through existing internal reporting and whistleblowing routes.
Reports will be treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled sensitively. We will not tolerate any form of victimisation or retaliation against individuals who raise concerns in good faith. Where appropriate, we will cooperate fully with law enforcement and other competent authorities.
Continuous Improvement and Annual Review
Bromley Movers is committed to continuous improvement in our approach to identifying, preventing, and addressing modern slavery risks. We will review this Modern Slavery Statement, along with our related procedures and controls, at least once every year or sooner if there are significant changes in our operations, risk profile, or legal requirements.
The annual review will consider feedback from audits, supplier assessments, incident reports, and industry best practice. Any necessary enhancements to our policies, training, or due diligence processes will be implemented and communicated across the business and to relevant suppliers.
This Modern Slavery Statement has been approved by the leadership of Bromley Movers and represents our ongoing commitment to acting ethically and responsibly in all aspects of our business.
