Modern Slavery Statement for Removals Italy

Removals Italy is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with full respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our approach to preventing slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and other forms of exploitation across our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can occur in many industries, including transport, warehousing, packaging, and subcontracted services, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any such abuse.

Our commitment is supported by internal controls, staff awareness, and a consistent expectation that all business relationships reflect lawful and fair employment practices. In every part of our organisation, we expect honesty, accountability, and respect for worker dignity. This statement applies to all employees, contractors, and suppliers engaged by Removals Italy, including those involved in removals, storage support, and logistics-related activities.

We assess risk by reviewing the nature of each service, the location of work, and the extent to which labour is sourced through third parties. Where higher-risk indicators exist, we apply enhanced scrutiny and require additional assurances. Our removals company in Italy works to ensure that labour providers and business partners share our standards and do not use coercive recruitment, withheld wages, debt bondage, or identity document retention.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

Supplier selection at Removals Italy includes due diligence on ownership, labour practices, and compliance history. We seek written confirmation from suppliers that they comply with all applicable laws relating to employment, working time, wages, and safe conditions. Suppliers are expected to maintain accurate records and allow us to verify relevant information when required.

To strengthen oversight, we conduct supplier audits on a risk-based basis. These audits may include document checks, worker interviews where appropriate, and review of subcontracting arrangements. If concerns arise, we request corrective action within a defined timeframe. Persistent non-compliance may lead to suspension or termination of the relationship. This approach helps ensure that our Removals Italy service is not connected to abusive practices at any stage of the supply chain.

We also expect suppliers to cascade these standards to their own subcontractors. A supplier???s failure to control downstream risks is treated seriously, especially where vulnerable workers, temporary labour, or cross-border recruitment are involved. Our procurement decisions take account of ethical performance as well as service quality and commercial value.

Reporting Channels and Remediation

Removals Italy encourages anyone who suspects modern slavery, unsafe labour practices, or unethical conduct to raise concerns promptly. Reporting channels are available through management, HR, and designated compliance contacts, and concerns may be raised confidentially. We do not tolerate retaliation against any person who reports a concern in good faith.

When a report is received, it is assessed promptly and sensitively. We investigate credible allegations, preserve relevant records, and work with appropriate experts where needed. If exploitation is identified, our priority is to protect the affected individual and support remediation. This may include disengaging from offending suppliers, improving controls, and cooperating with authorities where necessary.

We also provide staff awareness training so that employees can recognise warning signs such as restricted freedom of movement, signs of intimidation, or unexplained deductions from pay. Regular communication reinforces that the prevention of slavery and trafficking is a shared responsibility across the business.

Governance and Annual Review

Responsibility for this statement and its implementation rests with senior management, who oversee compliance actions and review risk trends. Our zero-tolerance policy is embedded in supplier onboarding, contract terms, and operational decision-making. This supports a culture in which ethical conduct is expected and monitored.

We will review this Modern Slavery Statement annually to assess its effectiveness, update our risk approach, and reflect changes in our operations or supply chain. The annual review will consider audit findings, incident reports, training activity, and any new legal or sector-specific developments. Where improvements are identified, we will act to strengthen our controls and raise standards further. Through this process, Removals Italy reaffirms its ongoing commitment to preventing modern slavery in all forms.
