Modern Slavery Statement for Belgium Removal

Belgium Removal declares a zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking across our operations. This modern slavery statement clarifies our commitments, controls and continuous improvement approach for our core services in Belgium and associated removal and relocation activities. We recognise our responsibility to ensure that everyone in our supply chain and workforce is treated with dignity and free from exploitation.

Scope and Commitment

Our statement covers all entities and teams delivering removal services in Belgium, including subcontractors and logistics partners. We have embedded anti-slavery clauses into contracts and require all partners to comply with our standards. The leadership team has endorsed a clear organisational stance: no tolerance for practices that constitute modern slavery, whether in our direct operations or in suppliers engaged in removals across Belgian territories.

Policies, Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

Belgium Removals operates a risk-based due diligence framework to identify and mitigate slavery risks. As part of our supplier management process we conduct targeted supplier audits and on-site assessments where risk indicators exist. Our due diligence includes:

• Pre-engagement screening for labour practices and compliance;
• Periodic supplier audits focused on recruitment, wages, working hours and freedom of movement;
• Corrective action plans and follow-up assessments for non-compliant service providers.

These checks are mandatory for third parties used in removals and storage services. We use a combination of self-assessment questionnaires and independent audits to verify supplier adherence to our anti-slavery controls.

Reporting Channels and Protection

We provide multiple confidential reporting channels to encourage the reporting of concerns related to exploitation in any part of our operations. Our reporting arrangements are designed to protect whistleblowers, ensure anonymity where required and to enable swift investigation.

Reports may be raised through internal compliance pathways, third-party hotlines or via direct managerial escalation; each report is logged, assessed and remediated in accordance with our procedures. We emphasise that any form of retaliation against a person raising a concern in good faith is strictly prohibited and will be treated as a disciplinary matter under our zero-tolerance policy.

In addition to reporting, we maintain clear remediation protocols to support affected individuals and collaborate with authorities if criminal conduct is identified. Our processes ensure that victims receive appropriate protection and assistance while maintaining confidentiality.

Training, Contracts and Continuous Monitoring

All staff involved in procurement, operations and removals receive mandatory training on modern slavery awareness, recognising indicators and using reporting channels. We require suppliers to incorporate equivalent training for their teams as part of contractual compliance. Our contracts include explicit clauses addressing labour standards, the right to audit, and termination rights for modern slavery breaches.

Belgium Removal uses performance metrics and periodic reviews to monitor adherence to our standards. We deploy targeted audits for higher-risk suppliers and random inspections to verify compliance in day-to-day removal operations across Belgium. Removals Belgium partners are expected to demonstrate continuous improvement and transparency.

Annual Review, Governance and Continuous Improvement

We conduct an annual review of our modern slavery risk profile, supplier audit results and the effectiveness of our reporting channels. The results of this review are presented to senior management and used to refine policies, update training and target resources. Our governance arrangements ensure accountability and oversight of anti-slavery measures across the organisation and with external partners.

Belgian Removal Services remains committed to strengthening controls, increasing supplier engagement and maintaining transparent oversight. We will continue to evolve our programme for prevention, detection and remediation of modern slavery risks, ensuring the highest standards for everyone involved in our removal operations.
