Toms Removals Modern Slavery Statement

Toms Removals is committed to combatting modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms. This Modern Slavery Statement explains our approach to preventing forced labour, exploitation and labour abuses across our operations and supply chains. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of slavery and are committed to transparent action, continuous improvement and clear accountability.

Our anti-slavery policy is embedded into our corporate values and procurement practices. Key measures include:

• Zero-tolerance policy communicated to all employees and partners.
• Supplier due diligence and contractual obligations to ensure compliance.
• Regular supplier audits and risk-based assessments.

We require that all suppliers, subcontractors and contractors adhere to our slavery and human trafficking statement and relevant labour standards. Contracts contain clauses that permit audit, inspection and remediation where non-compliance is identified. We apply a risk-based approach to supplier monitoring, prioritising suppliers in higher-risk jurisdictions or sectors and those providing labour-intensive services to our business.

We have established clear governance and responsibilities for our modern slavery policy. Senior management leads our compliance programme and works with procurement, HR and operations teams to identify and mitigate risks. Training on forced labour indicators and ethical recruitment is provided to frontline staff and those involved in supplier selection and management.

Reporting channels are in place for concerns about slavery, exploitation or unethical labour practices. Employees and third parties are encouraged to raise issues through internal reporting systems or designated whistleblowing mechanisms. Reports are handled confidentially and investigated promptly. Where appropriate, we provide support to victims and cooperate with authorities to ensure remediation.

In addition to reporting, we employ a mix of proactive measures: pre-qualification checks for new suppliers, periodic supplier audits (both announced and unannounced), verification of worker documentation where legally permissible, and spot checks at operational sites. We also require our labour providers to declare compliance with lawful pay, working hours and safe conditions.

To measure effectiveness, we track key performance indicators related to anti-slavery efforts, such as the number of supplier assessments completed, audit findings closed, and training completion rates. Our slavery prevention framework is reviewed by leadership and forms part of broader risk management. We publish outcomes and lessons learned in a transparent slavery and human trafficking statement that guides continuous improvement.

Governance oversight ensures that responsibility for the modern slavery policy is clear: procurement directors and operations managers are accountable for supplier compliance, while HR manages employee-related risks. We maintain a documented process for addressing breaches, including remediation plans, contractual remedies and, where necessary, termination of relationships with suppliers who fail to remediate.

This anti-slavery policy is subject to an annual review to ensure relevance and effectiveness. During the annual review we reassess risks, update due diligence procedures, refine audit schedules and enhance reporting channels. Toms Removals' modern slavery policy remains a core commitment: we will not tolerate forced labour, human trafficking or exploitation in any part of our business or supply chain. This statement represents our continued dedication to preventing modern slavery and to fostering an ethical, safe and lawful supply network.
