Modern Slavery Statement for Millhill Removals

Millhill Removals publishes this Modern Slavery Statement to set out our commitment to preventing slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chain. This modern slavery statement explains the policies, processes and actions we take to identify, prevent and remedy any form of forced labour, exploitation or coercion. We operate a zero-tolerance policy on any breach of human rights standards and will not tolerate modern slavery in any part of our business.

The scope of this anti-slavery statement covers all Millhill Removals employees, contractors, temporary staff and suppliers engaged to provide transport, packing, storage and related services. We recognise that removals, logistics and associated services can be exposed to risks of labour exploitation and therefore apply specific controls across recruitment, subcontracting and purchasing activities. Our approach is grounded in respect for human dignity and compliance with applicable laws relating to slavery and human trafficking.

Policy, Due Diligence and Zero-Tolerance Enforcement

Millhill Removals operates a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery. All employees are required to adhere to our code of conduct which explicitly prohibits forced labour, debt bondage, child labour and other forms of exploitation. Our Modern Slavery Policy and related procedures require verification of worker identity, lawful employment documentation checks and clear contractual protections that prohibit exploitative practices.

We employ a risk-based due diligence framework that includes supplier screening, background checks and contractual clauses requiring suppliers to comply with anti-slavery standards. Key elements include:

• Supplier audits and assessments to verify working conditions and employment practices;
• Contractual commitments requiring suppliers to follow our anti-slavery standards and allowing termination for non-compliance;
• Pre-engagement checks on labour providers and ongoing monitoring where risk is identified.

Supplier Audits, Monitoring and Remediation

We conduct regular supplier audits and site visits for high-risk partners. Our supplier audits combine document review, worker interviews and on-site inspections to assess recruitment practices, wage payment, working hours and freedom of movement. When issues are identified, Millhill Removals follows a transparent remediation process. Where feasible, we support corrective action plans and monitor progress; where suppliers refuse to rectify violations, we will terminate the relationship in line with our zero-tolerance policy.

Reporting channels are provided to encourage internal and external reporting of concerns. Employees and third parties can raise concerns confidentially through secure internal reporting tools, designated compliance contacts and anonymous reporting mechanisms. We ensure reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and that whistleblowers are protected from retaliation. The following reporting channels are maintained internally:

• Anonymous reporting portal and hotline;
• Direct reporting to a nominated compliance officer;
• Escalation to senior management where incidents are substantiated.

Training, Accountability and Continuous Improvement

Millhill Removals provides regular training to employees, managers and procurement teams on recognising signs of modern slavery and on the correct use of reporting channels. Training emphasises responsible supplier management and the need to escalate concerns without delay. We also include anti-slavery clauses in procurement documentation and make compliance a standard part of supplier performance reviews.

As part of our monitoring regime, we perform periodic reviews of high-risk supply chain segments and maintain records of audit outcomes and corrective actions. Where evidence indicates systemic problems, we will collaborate with civil society or enforcement agencies as appropriate to address root causes and protect affected workers.

Annual review and public reporting form an integral part of our commitment. We will review this modern slavery statement and associated policies at least once every year to reflect changes in our business, supply chain risk profile and evolving best practice. The results of reviews drive improvements to supplier audits, reporting channels, training and our zero-tolerance enforcement mechanisms. Millhill Removals remains committed to preventing modern slavery, ensuring remedial action when issues arise and continually strengthening governance to safeguard workers and uphold human rights.
