Finland Removals Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement

This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement is made by Finland Removals in respect of the financial year to which it relates. It sets out the steps we are taking to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our own operations and in our supply chains. Finland Removals is committed to conducting business ethically and with integrity, and to protecting the rights and wellbeing of all individuals who contribute to our services.

Our Business and Supply Chains

Finland Removals operates in the removals and relocation sector, providing domestic and commercial moving services, storage solutions, and associated logistics. Our supply chains include transport and fleet services, warehouses and storage providers, equipment and materials suppliers, subcontracted labour, and professional and administrative services. We recognise that elements of the logistics and labour supply sectors can be vulnerable to modern slavery risks and we are committed to identifying, assessing, and managing those risks.

Zero-Tolerance Policy

Finland Removals has a strict zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. This includes forced labour, bonded labour, child labour that is exploitative or unlawful, servitude, and any form of coercion or exploitation. We will not knowingly engage with any supplier, contractor, or business partner involved in such practices. Any confirmed breach of this policy will result in appropriate remedial action, which may include suspension or termination of the business relationship, reporting to relevant authorities, and the implementation of corrective measures to protect affected individuals.

Supplier Standards and Audits

We expect all suppliers and contractors to uphold high standards of human rights, labour rights, and ethical conduct. As part of our supplier due diligence, we require suppliers to confirm that they comply with applicable labour laws and do not tolerate modern slavery in their own operations or supply chains. We conduct proportionate risk-based assessments of our suppliers, taking into account factors such as location, type of service, and reliance on temporary or migrant labour. Where risk is identified, we may carry out enhanced reviews, request additional documentation, or conduct site visits.

Finland Removals is developing a programme of supplier audits to verify compliance with our standards. These audits may include reviewing working conditions, recruitment practices, wage and hour records, and grievance mechanisms. Non-compliance or inadequate responses to identified risks will be addressed through corrective action plans, follow-up audits, or, where necessary, the ending of the commercial relationship.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We encourage all employees, workers, contractors, and other stakeholders to report concerns about modern slavery or unethical labour practices without fear of retaliation. Reports can be made through internal management channels or to senior leadership. All concerns raised will be treated seriously, handled sensitively, and investigated promptly where appropriate. Confidentiality will be respected to the greatest extent possible. We are committed to ensuring that no person who raises a concern in good faith suffers any form of detrimental treatment as a result.

Training and Awareness

Finland Removals is working to increase awareness of modern slavery risks among our staff, particularly those involved in procurement, supplier management, and operations. Training and guidance are provided so that employees can recognise potential indicators of exploitation, understand how to escalate concerns, and support our policies in practice. We also communicate our expectations to suppliers and contractors so that they understand their responsibilities in preventing modern slavery.

Monitoring, Governance, and Annual Review

Responsibility for overseeing our approach to modern slavery sits with the senior management team of Finland Removals. We monitor our practices, review incidents or concerns raised, and assess the effectiveness of our controls. This statement and the measures it describes are reviewed at least annually, and more frequently if required by changes in legislation, business operations, or identified risks.

As part of each annual review, we consider our progress, evaluate the effectiveness of our supplier audits and reporting channels, and identify areas for improvement. We aim to strengthen our due diligence processes, enhance training, and deepen engagement with suppliers so that together we can reduce the risk of modern slavery within our industry. This statement reflects Finland Removals ongoing commitment to acting responsibly and to protecting the dignity and rights of all workers connected to our business.
