Modern Slavery Statement

Modern Slavery Statement

This is a voluntary statement setting out Greg van Esch's approach to modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking in connection with the operation of vanesch.uk and related advisory services.

Overview

Commitment

Although Greg van Esch is not currently required by law to publish a modern slavery statement, there is a clear commitment to acting ethically, conducting business with integrity, and opposing modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms.

Business and services

Nature of the business

vanesch.uk supports boutique HR operations and transformation advisory services. The business model is low-volume, professional, and service-based, with limited supply-chain complexity compared with larger organisations operating physical production, logistics, or large-scale procurement.

Risk approach

Managing risk

The overall risk of modern slavery within the direct operating model of the business is considered low. Even so, the expectation is that service providers, suppliers, and business partners should operate in a lawful, ethical, and responsible way.

As the business develops, supplier choices and external partnerships will continue to be considered with these principles in mind.

Standards

Expectations of suppliers and partners

Where relevant, the aim is to work with reputable suppliers and service providers and to avoid relationships that raise obvious concerns about labour exploitation, coercion, or serious ethical misconduct.

Review

Ongoing attention

This statement may be reviewed and updated over time as the business grows, its operating model changes, or its use of suppliers and partners becomes more complex.
