Introduction
Modern slavery is an unquestionable
and indefensible violation of an
individual’s basic human rights.
The PM Relocations Private Limited (aka
‘PMR’) recognises that as a
commercial organisation it has a
moral and social responsibility to
take a zero-tolerance approach to
modern slavery in all forms.
PMR is committed to preventing acts
of modern slavery and human
trafficking in our business
activities and to ensure, as far we
are able, that that no forms of
modern slavery or human trafficking
occurs anywhere within our business
operations or within our supply
chain.
Our Organisation
We are an Indian based relocation
company proving packing and moving
services around the world and across
street. We provide household packing
and moving services, car
transportation, office shifting,
fine arts movement, home search, pet
movement, warehousing services,
relocation assistance, visa and
immigration assistance services by
making relocation needs earlier,
more secure and more efficient for
everyone.
Our success lies to the trust that
customers place in us for their
relocation service requirement. So,
for us, acting ethically and
responsibly is not only the right
thing to do, but also the right way
to do business. We have a Code of
Conduct for our employees that
reflects these core values and
serves as an important guide for our
choices and actions.
PMR’s Policies and Systems on Modern
Slavery and Human Trafficking
Code of Conduct
We have a Code of Conduct for our
employees, which sets out our
commitment to ensuring that we all
act and are treated ethically,
fairly and with respect and dignity.
We recognise that our employees’
continuing success as individuals,
colleagues and a company depends on
all of us treating each other with
respect and upholding the highest
professional and ethical standards.
All of our employees are required to
comply to the Code of Conduct at all
the times.
In addition, we have Whistle-blower
policies and procedures in place to
encourage employees to speak up or
raise concerns when they see conduct
which could be viewed as dishonest,
unethical or unlawful, and we have
policies prohibiting retaliation for
raising such concerns.
We do not use, and we expect our
suppliers not to use, any forms of
modern slavery. Modern slavery is
defined as all situations in which a
person is forcibly or subtly
controlled through coercion, mental
or physical abuse or the threat of
abuse by an individual or a group of
individuals for the purpose of
exploitation. This includes
circumstances such as slavery,
servitude, trafficking in persons,
indentured labour, forced or
compulsory labour.
Employment Policies
PMR maintains employment and
personnel policies that comply with
the relevant applicable labour laws
and promote our culture of decency
and respect. These policies dictate
that we provide equal opportunities
in employment and that employees are
treated fairly regardless of
non-vocational distinctions such as
age, gender (including identity or
expression), marital status, civil
partnership status, sexual
orientation, disability, colour,
nationality, race or ethnic origin
or religion or belief. The HR
Department maintain and enforce
these policies, supporting our
efforts to combat modern slavery
across our operations.
Supplier Code of Conduct
PMR sources products and services
from suppliers globally and expects
that our suppliers do not use any
form of modern slavery. It is
important to note that PMR does not
manufacture goods or handle raw
materials or commodities. As a
relocation service company, our
suppliers primarily provide products
and services relating to relocation
services, packing supplies,
marketing and technology, corporate
services, and consumer benefits. In
an effort to mitigate the risk of
modern slavery in our supply chain,
our suppliers are contractually
bound by standards of ethical
conduct when dealing with workers,
their suppliers, customers and other
third parties, as articulated in our
Supplier Code of Conduct, which is
embedded into our supplier
agreements.
The Supplier Code of Conduct
outlines the principles, guidelines
and expectations for establishing
and maintaining a business
relationship with us. We are
committed to partnerships with
suppliers that share our dedication
to conducting business in a legal,
ethical and socially responsible
manner.
In addition, our suppliers can raise
concerns and report anonymously any
ethically questionable behaviour.

Code of Conduct, please visit our

Human Rights / Labour and
Employment Laws
Suppliers must be committed to, and
have respect for, the protection and
preservation of human rights. While
it is the responsibility of each
supplier to define its own policy
and approach to the issue of human
rights, suppliers’ values and
business principles must be
consistent with that of PMR and the
United Nations Declaration of Human
Rights. Suppliers are expected to
comply with applicable international
and local legal requirements in
their countries of operation.
Forced Labour
Suppliers must not use forced
labour, whether in the form of
prison labour, indentured labour,
bonded labour or otherwise.
Child Labour
Suppliers must not use child labour.
Suppliers are required to comply
with applicable child labour laws
and employ only workers who meet the
applicable minimum legal age
requirement in their countries of
operation.
Conclusion
We are proud of our stance as an
ethical company which believes in
doing well by doing good for
society. We endorse the principles
of the Act and have a number of
policies in place which include
provisions designed to eradicate
modern slavery from our business and
supply chains.
