Modern Slavery Statement for Putney Movers

Putney Movers is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps taken to prevent slavery, human trafficking, forced labor, and other forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognize that modern slavery can affect industries worldwide, including transport, logistics, storage, and related support services.

Our approach is based on zero tolerance. We do not accept any form of exploitation in our workforce, contractor network, or procurement relationships. Every person associated with our Putney moving services must be treated fairly, work voluntarily, and be paid in line with applicable laws. This commitment applies to our internal practices as well as to the businesses we engage to support our services.

We expect all managers, employees, and suppliers to understand that compliance with anti-slavery standards is a core condition of working with Putney Movers. Any breach, suspicion, or attempt to conceal abusive practices may result in immediate investigation and corrective action. Our Putney Movers slavery policy is designed to promote transparency, accountability, and respect throughout the business.

Risk Assessment and Supply Chain Controls

We assess risk across our supply chain by reviewing the nature of the service, the location of the supplier, and the level of labor intensity involved. Higher-risk areas may include temporary labor, subcontracted transport, cleaning, packaging, and equipment sourcing. The Putney moving company carefully evaluates these relationships before engagement and continues monitoring them throughout the commercial relationship.

Supplier audits are a key part of our prevention framework. Where appropriate, we conduct document checks, policy reviews, site visits, and labor practice assessments to identify signs of non-compliance. Suppliers may be asked to demonstrate how they verify age, identity, right to work, wage records, working hours, and grievance procedures. If concerns arise, we require prompt remediation and may suspend or end the relationship if necessary.

Our procurement decisions also include contractual clauses requiring suppliers to uphold anti-slavery standards. These agreements may include obligations to cooperate with audits, disclose subcontracting arrangements, and notify us of any suspected breach. This helps ensure that Putney Movers modern slavery prevention is embedded not only in policy, but also in everyday business controls.

Reporting, Training, and Accountability

We encourage a culture in which concerns can be raised safely and without fear of retaliation. Reporting channels are available for employees, contractors, and other stakeholders to report suspicious activity, unethical behavior, or any issue related to exploitation. Concerns may be raised directly with management through formal internal procedures, and every report is reviewed with discretion and urgency.

Training plays an important role in helping our teams recognize warning signs such as restricted movement, withheld wages, intimidation, or unusual dependency on a single supervisor. Managers involved in recruitment, procurement, and supplier management receive additional guidance so they can identify and escalate risks effectively. In this way, the Putney Movers anti-slavery statement is supported by practical awareness across the organization.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

Our commitment is not static. This statement and the controls behind it are reviewed annually to ensure they remain effective, proportionate, and aligned with legal and ethical expectations. The review considers audit outcomes, reported concerns, supplier performance, training completion, and any changes in business operations or supply chain risk.

Following each review, we identify improvements and update our procedures where needed. These may include stronger supplier due diligence, more detailed monitoring of subcontractors, improved recordkeeping, or expanded training for key staff. The goal is continual improvement in preventing exploitation across the Putney Movers supply chain.

Putney Movers remains committed to responsible business conduct and to taking meaningful action against modern slavery in all its forms. We believe that ethical operations, active oversight, and clear accountability are essential to protecting people and maintaining trust in our services.
