Modern Slavery Statement for Finland Removals

Finland Removals is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking across our operations and supply chains. As a responsible Finland removals provider, we recognise that modern slavery can occur in many forms and in many sectors, including logistics, transport, cleaning, warehousing, and subcontracted services.

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery and any other form of exploitation. This commitment applies to all employees, contractors, temporary workers, and suppliers. Our internal procedures are designed to ensure that people working for or on behalf of Finland Removals are treated fairly, lawfully, and with dignity. We expect the same standard from our business partners and we reserve the right to suspend or end relationships where concerns are identified.

Modern slavery risks are assessed as part of our broader compliance approach. We review labour practices, working conditions, recruitment methods, and subcontracting arrangements to identify vulnerabilities. This helps us understand where risks may arise within the moving and transport chain, especially where labour is sourced through third parties or where services are delivered across multiple locations.

Supplier Standards and Due Diligence

We apply supplier due diligence before engaging new partners and continue monitoring existing suppliers throughout the relationship. Our procurement process includes checks on ownership, operating practices, and labour standards. Where appropriate, we request confirmation that suppliers comply with all applicable employment laws and prohibit the use of forced, trafficked, or underage labour.

Supplier audits are an important part of our control framework. These audits may be scheduled or risk-based and can include document reviews, site visits, and interviews with relevant personnel. We focus on higher-risk categories such as transport subcontractors, temporary labour providers, and outsourced operational services. When gaps are identified, we require corrective action and follow-up verification.

We also promote ethical sourcing through contractual terms that clearly define expectations around working hours, wages, right-to-work checks, and worker welfare. Suppliers are expected to maintain accurate records and cooperate fully with any review. If a supplier cannot demonstrate adequate safeguards, we may limit, pause, or end the arrangement.

Reporting, Training, and Governance

Our people are trained to recognise warning signs of exploitation, including unusual restrictions on movement, poor living conditions, retention of identity documents, or signs of intimidation. Training is proportionate to role and responsibility, with additional focus for managers and procurement staff who are more likely to encounter risk indicators in daily operations.

We provide clear reporting channels so that employees, contractors, and other stakeholders can raise concerns confidentially and without fear of retaliation. Reports may be made through internal management routes or via designated compliance procedures. All concerns are taken seriously, assessed promptly, and escalated where necessary for investigation and remediation. We encourage early reporting because timely action can reduce harm and support affected individuals.

Governance for modern slavery matters sits with senior leadership, who review risk trends, supplier performance, and any reported incidents. This oversight ensures accountability and helps embed ethical practice across the organisation. Where an allegation is substantiated, we will cooperate with relevant authorities and take appropriate corrective measures, which may include contract termination or referral for further action.

We recognise that the fight against exploitation requires continuous improvement. For that reason, this statement and our supporting controls are subject to an annual review. The review considers changes in legislation, industry risk, business structure, supplier base, and the effectiveness of existing measures. Findings are used to strengthen our policies, training, and monitoring activities.

The annual review also gives us an opportunity to evaluate whether our Finland Removals modern slavery safeguards remain practical and effective. We compare incidents, audit results, and staff feedback from compliance activities to identify patterns or emerging risks. Where necessary, we update our standards so that they remain aligned with best practice and our zero-tolerance commitment.

This statement reflects the ongoing responsibility of Finland Removals to prevent modern slavery in every part of the business. By maintaining robust supplier oversight, clear reporting routes, and regular review, we aim to uphold human rights and promote ethical conduct throughout our operations and supply chain. We remain committed to improvement and to acting decisively whenever risks are identified.
