France Removals Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement

France Removals is committed to conducting all aspects of its business ethically, transparently, and with respect for the fundamental human rights of every individual. This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement sets out the steps we take to identify, prevent, and address the risks of modern slavery in our operations and supply chains.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

France Removals operates a zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, servitude, child labour, and human trafficking. We are committed to ensuring that no such practices occur within our own activities or in any part of our supply chain.

All employees, contractors, and suppliers are expected to act with integrity and uphold our values. Any breach of this policy is treated as a serious matter and may result in the termination of employment or business relationships, as well as referral to relevant authorities where appropriate.

Our Business and Supply Chain

France Removals provides removal, relocation, and associated logistics services. Our supply chain includes, but is not limited to, transport and logistics providers, warehousing and storage partners, equipment and materials suppliers, facilities and maintenance contractors, and professional and administrative service providers.

We recognise that certain areas of the logistics and transport sector, particularly where temporary or low-skilled labour is involved, may present a higher risk of modern slavery. We therefore take a risk-based approach and focus our efforts on the areas where we can have the greatest impact.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We are committed to working only with suppliers and partners that share our values and comply with all applicable labour and human rights laws. As part of our due diligence process, we assess new and existing suppliers on their approach to modern slavery and ethical labour practices.

Where appropriate, we conduct supplier audits and request evidence of policies, training, and controls that address the risk of modern slavery. These audits may include site visits, interviews, and reviews of documentation such as employment contracts and working conditions. Suppliers are expected to cooperate fully with our audit activities.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate our relationship with any supplier that fails to meet our standards, refuses to engage constructively with our requirements, or is found to be involved in modern slavery or related abuses.

Policies, Training, and Awareness

France Removals maintains internal policies that reinforce our zero-tolerance approach, including standards on recruitment, working conditions, whistleblowing, business ethics, and supplier management. These policies are communicated to employees and are subject to periodic review.

We are committed to raising awareness of modern slavery among our staff, particularly those involved in procurement, logistics, and supplier management. Training is designed to help employees understand the signs of modern slavery, know how to respond to concerns, and appreciate their responsibilities under this statement.

Reporting Channels and Protection

France Removals encourages all employees, contractors, suppliers, and other stakeholders to report any concerns or suspicions relating to modern slavery or unethical labour practices. Concerns can be raised through management channels or through any internal reporting mechanisms made available by the company.

We will treat all reports seriously and handle them sensitively, fairly, and as confidentially as possible. No individual will suffer any form of retaliation or detrimental treatment for raising a genuine concern in good faith, even if it is not substantiated following investigation.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

We recognise that the risks of modern slavery can change over time and that our response must evolve accordingly. France Removals is committed to continuous improvement in our approach to identifying, assessing, and mitigating these risks.

This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement will be reviewed and updated at least annually to reflect changes in our business, emerging risks, and best practice guidance. Senior management is responsible for overseeing the implementation of this statement, monitoring its effectiveness, and ensuring that actions are taken where improvements are needed.

By maintaining and regularly reviewing this statement, France Removals reaffirms its commitment to respecting human rights, promoting ethical labour practices, and playing its part in the global effort to eradicate modern slavery.
