Modern Slavery Statement for Finsburypark Storage
Finsburypark Storage is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitative working practices within our operations and supply chains. Our approach is guided by a clear zero-tolerance policy, which applies to all employees, contractors, and business partners.
Our Commitment
We recognise that modern slavery can take many forms, including debt bondage, coercion, child labour, and deceptive recruitment practices. At Finsburypark Storage, we maintain a strict expectation that all individuals working with or for our business are treated with dignity and paid lawfully for their work. This Finsburypark Storage modern slavery policy is designed to identify risk early, act decisively, and ensure that abuses are reported and addressed without delay.
Our internal controls include due diligence checks when engaging new suppliers, contractors, and service providers. We seek to understand the nature of their business, labour practices, and geographic risk exposure. Where appropriate, we ask for evidence of lawful employment practices, right-to-work procedures, and ethical recruitment standards. If concerns arise, we reserve the right to investigate further and, where necessary, suspend or end the relationship.
Supplier Standards and Audits
Supplier oversight is a critical part of our modern slavery compliance framework. We require suppliers to confirm that they do not use forced, trafficked, or underage labour and that they uphold relevant labour laws. Our supplier audits may include document reviews, risk-based assessments, and checks against indicators of exploitation. These audits help us strengthen the resilience of our storage services supply chain and support continuous improvement across our procurement process.
Risk Management
Where higher-risk indicators are identified, we take a proportionate and documented response. This may involve requesting corrective action plans, conducting follow-up reviews, or working with the supplier to improve controls. If a supplier fails to meet our expectations or shows unwillingness to address concerns, we may discontinue engagement. Our aim is to ensure that Finsburypark Storage does not contribute, directly or indirectly, to exploitation in any part of its operations.
We also provide internal awareness guidance so that staff can recognise signs of labour abuse, including restricted movement, withheld identity documents, excessive working hours, or unusual dependency on employers. Employees are encouraged to remain alert during day-to-day activities, especially when dealing with outsourced services, logistics partners, and temporary labour arrangements.
Reporting Channels and Escalation
Any concern relating to modern slavery, unethical recruitment, or unsafe working conditions can be reported through our internal reporting channels. Reports are treated seriously, handled confidentially where possible, and investigated promptly by the appropriate senior team. We make it clear that no one should suffer retaliation for raising a concern in good faith. These reporting routes support a culture of accountability and help ensure that Finsburypark Storage acts quickly when issues are identified.
Employees and suppliers are expected to cooperate fully with any review or investigation. Where a report indicates immediate risk, escalation procedures are triggered so that protective action can be taken without delay. We believe that transparent reporting is essential to the success of any modern slavery statement, because it transforms policy into practical action.
Training and Awareness
To reinforce our standards, relevant team members receive training on identifying warning signs, escalating concerns, and applying ethical procurement principles. This training is refreshed periodically to reflect changes in law, risk, and operational practice. By strengthening understanding across the business, we aim to reduce vulnerability and maintain a responsible working environment.
Annual Review is a key part of our commitment. This statement, along with our supporting controls, is reviewed every year to assess effectiveness, identify emerging risks, and improve our procedures. The review considers audit results, supplier performance, incident reports, and any changes in legislation or business activity. Where needed, we update our policy to ensure that Finsburypark Storage modern slavery measures remain robust and relevant.
Finsburypark Storage will continue to uphold a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery in all its forms. We are committed to ethical business conduct, responsible procurement, and ongoing vigilance across our operations and supply chains. Through supplier audits, clear reporting channels, and annual review, we aim to protect human rights and maintain the highest standards of integrity.
