Jimmys Removals Modern Slavery Statement
Jimmys Removals is committed to a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, human trafficking or exploitation. This modern slavery statement sets out our approach to preventing modern slavery across our operations and supply chain. We recognise that as a removals and logistics provider we have a duty to ensure that our employees, contractors and suppliers are treated fairly and lawfully. Our anti-slavery statement is an active declaration of values, expectations and practical steps taken to address risks.
Our Commitment and Principles
We operate a zero tolerance stance: any instance of exploitation is unacceptable and will lead to immediate action. Our anti-slavery policy is embedded in company standards and contracts. We require all staff to understand their responsibilities under this modern slavery policy and to report concerns through defined channels. The board endorses this policy and ensures adequate resources are allocated to deliver our obligations under the Modern Slavery Act and related anti-slavery legislation.
We publish this anti-slavery declaration to be transparent about our procedures, due diligence and ongoing monitoring. The Jimmys Removals slavery statement outlines expectations for third parties and demonstrates our willingness to act where risks are identified. Our approach combines prevention, detection and remediation, and is informed by risk assessments, industry practice and stakeholder feedback.
Supplier Audits and Due Diligence
We conduct proportionate supplier audits and pre-engagement due diligence to evaluate labour standards and compliance. Our supplier assessment process includes:
- Risk-based screening of new and existing suppliers
- Periodic onsite and remote audits to verify employment practices
- Contractual clauses requiring compliance with our anti-slavery standards
Where audits identify gaps, we require corrective action plans, timelines and follow-up verification. Persistent non-compliance can result in contract termination. Our procurement team integrates these checks into the supplier lifecycle so that mitigation is continuous and measurable.
Reporting channels are available to all workers, suppliers and stakeholders. We operate multiple secure and confidential routes to report concerns, including an anonymous whistleblowing mechanism, a designated ethics officer and internal escalation procedures. Reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and actions are taken to protect victims and whistleblowers. We encourage the use of these channels and provide clear guidance on how to raise issues without fear of retaliation.
Training, Monitoring and Continuous Improvement
Training and awareness are central to our anti-modern slavery work. Employees in procurement, operations and frontline roles receive targeted training on identifying signs of exploitation, safe referral pathways and the obligations contained in our modern slavery compliance materials. We review training effectiveness and update content as risks evolve. Our approach is to build capacity across the business so that prevention is integrated into everyday decision-making.
The annual review process underpins accountability. Each year we perform a comprehensive review of our modern slavery risk profile, supplier audit outcomes, reported incidents and corrective measures. The review informs the-board-level report and shapes priorities for the coming year. Key performance indicators for anti-slavery efforts include completion rates for supplier audits, number of reports investigated, and closure rates for remediation plans.
In conclusion, this modern slavery statement for Jimmys Removals reflects our firm commitment to combat slavery in all its forms. We will continue to strengthen our anti-slavery measures, refine supplier monitoring and maintain clear reporting channels so that exploitation is prevented, detected and remediated. This anti-slavery declaration will be reviewed annually and updated to reflect lessons learned, legal developments and emerging best practice. Our pledge is simple: we will not tolerate modern slavery in our operations or supply chain and will act decisively where issues are identified.
