Keep Moving Modern Slavery Statement
This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by Keep Moving to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our business operations and supply chains. Keep Moving is committed to conducting business ethically, transparently, and with respect for the dignity and rights of every individual whose work contributes to our products and services.
Our Zero-Tolerance Policy
Keep Moving has a clear zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, debt bondage, child labour, and servitude. We will not knowingly engage with, or support, any organisation that is involved in these practices. Our policy applies to all employees, contractors, consultants, and suppliers, regardless of where they operate.
We expect everyone who works with or for Keep Moving to uphold the highest standards of human rights and ethical behaviour. Breaches of our zero-tolerance policy are treated with the utmost seriousness and may result in the termination of contracts, cessation of business relationships, or other appropriate corrective actions.
Governance and Responsibility
The senior leadership team at Keep Moving has overall responsibility for ensuring that our modern slavery commitments are implemented effectively. Management across departments is responsible for integrating these commitments into day-to-day activities, including procurement, supplier management, and human resources.
We ensure that relevant staff receive guidance on identifying and responding to potential risks of modern slavery. This includes awareness of signs of exploitation, the importance of ethical sourcing, and the requirement to escalate concerns promptly.
Risk Assessment and Supplier Standards
We recognise that modern slavery can occur in any sector or country and that certain regions, industries, and types of labour may be at higher risk. Keep Moving conducts ongoing assessments of our supply chains to identify areas where the risk of modern slavery may be elevated, including the use of temporary labour, outsourced functions, or raw material sourcing.
We require our suppliers to comply with all applicable labour and human rights laws and to maintain working conditions that respect the freedom, safety, and wellbeing of workers. Suppliers are expected to confirm that they do not use forced, bonded, or involuntary labour, and that all workers are engaged on the basis of freely chosen employment with clear terms and conditions.
Supplier Audits and Due Diligence
Keep Moving applies a structured due diligence process when selecting and reviewing suppliers. This includes assessing the ethical standards of suppliers and their own supply chains. Where appropriate, we conduct audits or request evidence of compliance with labour and human rights standards. These audits may involve site visits, document reviews, and interviews with workers conducted in a confidential and respectful manner.
If non-conformities or areas of concern are identified, we work with the supplier to agree a corrective action plan with clear timescales. Failure to demonstrate meaningful progress or a willingness to remediate issues may result in suspension or termination of the business relationship.
Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing
Keep Moving encourages all employees, contractors, and external stakeholders to report any concerns related to modern slavery or human trafficking, whether within our own operations or in our supply chains. Individuals are urged to raise concerns with their line manager or a senior member of management, or through established internal reporting mechanisms.
We are committed to ensuring that anyone who raises a concern in good faith is protected from retaliation or adverse treatment. Reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled as confidentially as practicable. Where allegations are substantiated, we will take appropriate remedial and disciplinary action, which may involve engaging with authorities when required.
Training and Awareness
To support effective implementation of this statement, Keep Moving provides targeted guidance and awareness-raising activities for relevant employees, particularly those involved in procurement, supplier management, and recruitment. This helps our teams recognise indicators of modern slavery, understand how to conduct ethical due diligence, and know how to escalate issues of concern.
Continuous Improvement and Annual Review
Keep Moving is committed to continual improvement in identifying, preventing, and addressing modern slavery risks. We regularly review our policies, procedures, and supplier engagement practices to strengthen our approach and reflect evolving best practice and legal requirements.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed and updated on an annual basis by our senior leadership team. The review process considers the effectiveness of our measures, the results of audits and assessments, any reported incidents or concerns, and feedback from stakeholders. We will continue to refine our actions so that our business and supply chains remain aligned with our ethical commitments and respect for human rights.
This statement has been approved by the leadership of Keep Moving and represents our ongoing commitment to eradicating modern slavery and human trafficking from our operations and supply chains.
