Modern Slavery Statement for Moving Day

Moving Day 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 slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking in our operations and supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery risks can exist in any sector, and we remain vigilant in identifying and addressing them through responsible governance, due diligence, and ongoing review.

Our zero-tolerance policy applies to all employees, contractors, suppliers, and business partners. We do not accept any form of exploitation, coercion, debt bondage, child labour, or unsafe working conditions. This policy is embedded in our internal codes of conduct and procurement standards, and it is reinforced through training, supplier onboarding, and management oversight. Where breaches are identified, we take appropriate action, which may include remediation, suspension, or termination of the relationship.

We expect all those who work with Moving Day to share our commitment to ethical practices. In the context of Moving Day and modern slavery prevention, this means ensuring that labour is freely chosen, wages are lawful and fair, and work is performed voluntarily. We also require transparency in labour sourcing, recruitment practices, and subcontracting arrangements so that risks can be understood and controlled effectively.

Governance and Risk Management

We maintain a risk-based approach to modern slavery prevention. Potential risks are assessed across our workforce, procurement activities, and outsourced services. This includes examining geographic exposure, the nature of goods and services purchased, the use of third parties, and indicators such as high staff turnover or unusually low pricing. Where higher-risk areas are identified, we apply enhanced controls and closer monitoring.

Supplier management is a core part of our strategy. Supplier audits are conducted on a scheduled and risk-based basis to verify compliance with labour standards, contractual obligations, and ethical sourcing requirements. These audits may involve document reviews, site visits, worker interviews, and corrective action plans. Suppliers are expected to cooperate fully and to address any non-compliance within agreed timeframes. Failure to do so may affect future business with Moving Day.

Our purchasing decisions consider not only quality and cost, but also ethical performance. We aim to work with partners who can demonstrate clear safeguards against labour exploitation. If concerns arise, we investigate promptly and fairly, seeking to protect vulnerable workers and improve conditions wherever possible. This approach supports a more resilient supply chain and reflects the values of Moving Day’s anti-slavery commitments.

Reporting, Training, and Accountability

We encourage all workers and stakeholders to speak up if they suspect any form of abuse or exploitation. Reporting channels are available for raising concerns confidentially and without fear of retaliation. Reports may be made through internal management routes, compliance functions, or designated whistleblowing processes. Every concern is taken seriously, reviewed promptly, and handled with appropriate confidentiality and sensitivity.

Training plays an important role in our response to modern slavery risks. Relevant employees receive guidance on recognising warning signs, understanding their responsibilities, and escalating concerns appropriately. Procurement and contract managers receive additional instruction on supplier due diligence, audit findings, and corrective actions. This helps ensure that Moving Day slavery prevention measures are applied consistently and effectively across the organisation.

Accountability for implementation rests with senior leadership, who oversee the effectiveness of our controls and allocate resources to support compliance. Managers are responsible for ensuring that policies are followed in practice, not just on paper. By promoting awareness and active oversight, we aim to strengthen our culture of integrity and create an environment where exploitation cannot be ignored.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement is reviewed annually to confirm that it remains current, effective, and aligned with our operational risks. The review considers audit outcomes, reported concerns, supplier performance, legislative developments, and any changes in our business model or supply chain. Where necessary, we update policies, training, and control measures to reflect emerging risks and lessons learned.

Our commitment to continuous improvement means we do not treat compliance as a one-time exercise. Instead, we seek to identify opportunities to strengthen due diligence, enhance supplier engagement, and improve monitoring across all relevant activities. The aim is to ensure that Moving Day’s modern slavery framework continues to evolve in line with best practice and stakeholder expectations.

Moving Day remains resolute in its opposition to all forms of modern slavery. Through our zero-tolerance stance, supplier audits, reporting channels, and annual review process, we are building a responsible business culture that respects human dignity. We recognise that meaningful prevention requires diligence, transparency, and persistence, and we are committed to maintaining those standards across everything we do.
