Modern Slavery Statement for Marble Arch Removals

Marble Arch Removals is committed to conducting business with integrity, respect, and responsibility. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to uphold human rights and to ensure that exploitation, forced labour, and abusive working practices have no place in our business.

Our Business and Supply Chain

Marble Arch Removals operates in the removals and related support services sector. Our activities rely on a network of employees, agency workers, subcontractors, and suppliers who provide vehicles, equipment, packaging materials, storage services, and other operational support. We acknowledge that any extended supply chain can present risks of modern slavery, particularly where there are multiple tiers of subcontracting or sourcing from higher risk regions.

Zero-Tolerance Policy on Modern Slavery

We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms. Any involvement in forced labour, debt bondage, servitude, child labour that is exploitative, or human trafficking is strictly prohibited. This policy applies to all employees, agency staff, contractors, and suppliers who work with or on behalf of Marble Arch Removals.

Our expectations are clearly communicated through contractual terms and supplier engagements. We reserve the right to terminate relationships with any party that is found to be involved in, or complicit with, modern slavery or related abuses, or that fails to take adequate corrective measures when concerns are raised.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We recognise that the greatest modern slavery risks often sit within supply chains. Marble Arch Removals therefore undertakes proportionate due diligence on key suppliers and contractors, with particular focus on those providing labour-intensive services or sourcing products from higher risk sectors or countries.

Our approach includes assessing suppliers against ethical standards, requesting relevant information about labour practices, and requiring confirmation that they comply with applicable labour and human rights laws. Where appropriate, we conduct audits or request evidence of the supplier’s own modern slavery policies, training, and monitoring arrangements. If a supplier falls short of our expectations, we will work with them to implement improvements or, if necessary, reconsider the business relationship.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Marble Arch Removals encourages a culture of openness, where concerns about modern slavery or unethical conduct can be raised without fear of retaliation. All employees, temporary workers, contractors, and suppliers are encouraged to speak up if they suspect that modern slavery or human trafficking may be occurring in our business or supply chain.

Concerns can be raised directly with management or through existing internal reporting mechanisms. Reports will be treated seriously, handled sensitively, and investigated promptly. We will take appropriate action where allegations are substantiated, which may include notifying law enforcement or regulatory bodies. We do not tolerate any form of victimisation against individuals who raise concerns in good faith.

Training and Awareness

We are committed to increasing awareness of modern slavery risks among our workforce. Relevant employees, particularly those involved in procurement, contract management, and supplier relationships, are provided with guidance on identifying warning signs of exploitation and on the steps to take if concerns arise. We seek to embed respect for human rights into our everyday decision-making and behaviours.

Monitoring, Governance, and Annual Review

Responsibility for overseeing our modern slavery approach sits with the senior management team of Marble Arch Removals. They are accountable for ensuring that appropriate policies, procedures, and controls are in place and remain effective.

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to reflect changes in our business, evolving legal requirements, and best practice. As part of each review, we assess the effectiveness of our actions, consider feedback from stakeholders, and identify opportunities to strengthen our due diligence and training. Updated versions of this statement will be approved by senior management and made available to stakeholders.

Marble Arch Removals remains committed to continuous improvement in the prevention of modern slavery and human trafficking, and to operating as a responsible and ethical business partner.
