Storage Tottenham Green Modern Slavery Statement
This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps Storage Tottenham Green has taken, and continues to take, to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking are not taking place in our business or in our supply chains. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our relationships and to implementing robust systems and controls to safeguard against any form of modern slavery.
Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy
Storage Tottenham Green maintains a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour, and all forms of exploitation. This commitment applies to every aspect of our operations, including our facilities, our workforce, and our relationships with suppliers and contractors. All colleagues, contractors, and business partners are expected to uphold this principle and to act in a way that supports human rights and fair working practices.
Any indication that modern slavery may be present in our operations or supply chains will be treated with the utmost seriousness. Where credible concerns are identified, we will take prompt and appropriate action, which may include suspending or terminating relationships and reporting concerns to relevant authorities where appropriate.
Our Supply Chains and Supplier Expectations
Our supply chains include providers of storage equipment, maintenance and cleaning services, security services, utilities, professional services, and other goods and services required to operate our storage facilities. We expect all suppliers to comply with applicable labour, employment, and human rights legislation and to maintain working conditions that are safe, fair, and free from exploitation.
We communicate our zero-tolerance stance to suppliers and make clear that we will not knowingly work with any organisation involved in modern slavery or human trafficking. We expect suppliers to adopt similar principles with their own suppliers and subcontractors.
Supplier Audits and Due Diligence
To support our commitment, we are developing and maintaining a risk-based approach to supplier due diligence and audits. Where we identify higher-risk categories of goods, services, or geographies, we undertake enhanced checks to gain assurance that effective measures are in place to prevent modern slavery.
Our approach may include requesting information on labour practices, reviewing relevant policies and codes of conduct, and assessing how suppliers monitor working conditions within their own supply chains. Where appropriate, we may conduct or commission audits or site visits, or request evidence of third-party certifications and compliance reviews.
If a supplier is unable or unwilling to demonstrate that it operates free from forced or trafficked labour, we will review the relationship and may suspend, restrict, or terminate our engagement with that supplier.
Reporting Channels and Raising Concerns
Storage Tottenham Green encourages all employees, workers, contractors, and other stakeholders to speak up if they witness or suspect any form of modern slavery or human trafficking connected to our business or supply chains. Concerns can be raised through internal reporting channels, including managers and senior leadership, or via any established whistleblowing arrangements.
We are committed to ensuring that individuals who raise genuine concerns in good faith do so without fear of retaliation or detrimental treatment. All reports will be considered seriously and, where appropriate, investigated promptly and sensitively. We will take appropriate remedial action in response to any substantiated concerns.
Training, Awareness, and Responsibilities
Responsibility for overseeing our approach to modern slavery sits with senior management, who ensure that appropriate policies, procedures, and controls are in place. Managers are responsible for promoting awareness of our zero-tolerance stance and for escalating any concerns raised by team members or third parties.
We seek to build awareness among relevant staff of the signs of modern slavery and human trafficking, particularly those involved in procurement or supplier management. As our approach develops, we aim to provide targeted training and guidance to employees in higher-risk roles and functions.
Monitoring, Review, and Continuous Improvement
Storage Tottenham Green is committed to monitoring the effectiveness of the measures we take to prevent modern slavery and to improving our approach over time. We will review this Modern Slavery Statement and our related practices at least once every year, or more frequently where required by changes in legislation, business operations, or identified risks.
The annual review will consider feedback from stakeholders, the results of any supplier assessments or audits, and any incidents or concerns raised. Following each review, we will update our policies and processes as needed to strengthen our controls and further reduce the risk of modern slavery in our business and supply chains.
This statement has been approved by the management of Storage Tottenham Green and reflects our ongoing commitment to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with respect for the dignity and rights of all people.
