Modern Slavery Statement – France Removal

France Removal declares a firm and unequivocal commitment to eradicating modern slavery across our operations. As a leading French removal company and provider of removal services in France, we operate a zero-tolerance policy toward all forms of forced labour, human trafficking and exploitation. This statement outlines our approach, the expectations we set for partners, and the steps we take to identify and mitigate risk throughout our France relocation and removal activities.

Our zero-tolerance policy requires that every employee, contractor and supplier engaged in removal operations in France adheres to ethical labour standards. We communicate this policy clearly in contracts and onboarding materials, and we require managers to act decisively if breaches are suspected. Any confirmed incident of forced labour or coercion will prompt immediate remedial action, contract termination where appropriate and support for affected individuals.

To safeguard workers and uphold human rights we conduct regular supplier audits and assessments across our supply chain. Our supplier audit programme for France Removal and related removal services in France includes:

• Scheduled and random on-site inspections to verify working conditions and documentation;
• Questionnaires and self-assessments followed by third-party verification where risk indicators are present;
• Corrective action plans with clear timeframes and follow-up audits to ensure compliance.

We maintain multiple confidential reporting channels that employees and third parties can use to raise concerns about suspected modern slavery or unethical conduct. Reports can be made anonymously via internal whistleblowing mechanisms and are treated with strict confidentiality. All reports are logged, triaged and investigated by a designated compliance team trained to manage sensitive cases without compromising the safety of those involved.

Our diligence framework for the French removal sector is risk-based and dynamic. We regularly map our supplier network to identify high-risk activities, geographical hotspots and subcontracting layers that present heightened exposure. Risk mitigation measures include enhanced due diligence for new and existing suppliers, contractual clauses prohibiting substandard labour practices, and financial controls to prevent wage diversion or abuse in our removal operations in France.

Training and Awareness

We deliver mandatory training on modern slavery, human rights and ethical recruitment to staff and frontline teams in our removal operations. The programme uses scenario-based learning tailored to the context of relocation and removal services, emphasising practical steps to detect signs of exploitation and how to escalate concerns. Senior managers receive additional training on supplier oversight and remediation processes.

Our supplier contracts include explicit provisions requiring compliance with labour laws and human rights standards. We insist on transparency across subcontracting chains and reserve the right to audit sub-suppliers. Where non-compliance is identified, we apply proportionate remedies which may include re-performance, binding corrective actions, or termination of the business relationship. These expectations are central to our identity as a responsible French removal company.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

France Removal conducts an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and associated policies. The review examines audit findings, incident reports, training effectiveness and evolving risks in removal operations in France. Outcomes inform policy updates, resource allocation for compliance, and enhancements to our supplier audit programme to ensure sustained improvement.

In closing, we reaffirm our strong commitment to preventing modern slavery across all aspects of our business. This statement applies to all operations, including removal services in France, and will be reviewed annually to reflect progress and lessons learned. We expect every colleague and partner to uphold the highest ethical standards so that our French removal and relocation activities are conducted with dignity, respect and integrity for all workers.
