Norway Removals Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement is made by Norway Removals in accordance with our commitment to uphold human rights, ethical trading, and responsible business practices. It sets out the steps we are taking to identify, prevent, and address the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains.

Our Commitment and Zero Tolerance Policy

Norway Removals has a zero-tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, servitude, and child labour. We are committed to operating transparently, fairly, and in full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations relating to employment, labour standards, and human rights in every jurisdiction in which we operate.

We expect the same high standards from all our employees, contractors, agency staff, and suppliers. Any association with modern slavery, whether direct or indirect, is incompatible with our values, and we reserve the right to terminate relationships with any party found to be in breach of this principle.

Our Business and Supply Chains

Norway Removals provides removal, relocation, and associated services to customers in both residential and commercial sectors. Our supply chains include, but are not limited to, transport and logistics partners, packaging material providers, warehouse and storage services, facilities management, and professional and technical services.

We recognise that certain parts of our supply chains may present a higher risk due to geographic, sectorial, or labour market factors. We are committed to undertaking due diligence and targeted oversight in these areas to mitigate risks effectively.

Supplier Standards and Audits

All suppliers and contractors are required to adhere to our ethical standards, including compliance with labour laws, safe working conditions, fair pay, and respect for human rights. We communicate our expectations clearly at the outset of any relationship and throughout the duration of our engagement.

We conduct supplier assessments and audits that may include on-site visits, document reviews, and workforce interviews where appropriate. These audits are carried out on a risk-based basis, with increased scrutiny on suppliers in higher-risk regions or sectors. If non-compliance is identified, we work with the supplier to implement corrective action plans with clear timelines. Where issues are serious or remain unresolved, we may suspend or terminate the business relationship.

Employee Awareness, Training, and Responsibility

We provide employees with guidance and training to help them recognise the signs of modern slavery and understand how to respond to potential concerns. This includes those working in procurement, operations, and other functions that engage directly with suppliers or contractors.

Managers are responsible for promoting ethical conduct within their teams and ensuring that our policies on modern slavery and human rights are upheld. All staff are expected to act with integrity, and to challenge or report any practice that appears inconsistent with our values and this statement.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Norway Removals encourages a culture of openness, where concerns about modern slavery or unethical behaviour can be raised without fear of retaliation. Employees, contractors, and other stakeholders are encouraged to report any suspicion or evidence of modern slavery through established internal reporting channels or via our whistleblowing procedures.

All reports are treated seriously and, where appropriate, investigated promptly and impartially. We are committed to protecting those who raise genuine concerns from any adverse consequences, and to taking remedial actions where wrongdoing is identified.

Ongoing Monitoring and Annual Review

Our approach to tackling modern slavery is subject to continuous improvement. We regularly review the effectiveness of our policies, due diligence processes, and training programmes to ensure they remain robust, proportionate, and responsive to emerging risks.

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed and updated on an annual basis, or more frequently if required by changes in law, our operations, or identified risks. The review process considers audit findings, reported concerns, stakeholder feedback, and developments in industry best practice.

By maintaining a strong zero-tolerance stance, engaging actively with our suppliers, and empowering our employees to speak up, Norway Removals aims to play a responsible role in preventing modern slavery and supporting the protection of human rights across our business and supply chains.
