Modern Slavery Statement for Storage Finsbury Park
This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by Storage Finsbury Park to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our business operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to respect human rights and to act ethically and transparently in all our relationships.
Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy
Storage Finsbury Park has a zero-tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, servitude, and child labour. This applies to every part of our organisation and to all third parties with whom we work. We are committed to conducting business in a manner that upholds the dignity and rights of every individual, and we expect the same standards from our suppliers and business partners.
Any suspicion or evidence of modern slavery connected to our activities will be treated as a serious breach of our values and standards. We will take appropriate action, which may include terminating contracts and reporting concerns to relevant authorities where required.
Our Business and Supply Chains
Storage Finsbury Park provides storage facilities and related services. Our operations rely on a range of suppliers, including property maintenance contractors, security service providers, cleaning companies, equipment and materials suppliers, and professional service firms. We recognise that risks of modern slavery can arise at various stages of these supply chains, particularly where subcontracting, low-skilled labour, or overseas sourcing is involved.
We are committed to understanding these risks and improving our practices over time to ensure that our procurement and supplier management processes reflect our ethical standards.
Supplier Standards and Audits
We expect all suppliers to operate in full compliance with applicable labour, employment, and human rights laws. As part of our approach to risk management, we are strengthening our supplier onboarding and review processes to assess compliance with our modern slavery expectations.
Where appropriate and proportionate to the level of risk identified, we may carry out supplier audits or request evidence of policies and practices relating to labour standards, recruitment, working conditions, and worker welfare. These reviews may include questions about the use of subcontractors, recruitment fees, right-to-work checks, and grievance mechanisms for workers.
Failure by a supplier to meet our standards, cooperate with our checks, or address identified concerns may lead to a review of the relationship and, where necessary, the suspension or termination of contracts.
Reporting Concerns and Whistleblowing Channels
We encourage all employees, suppliers, contractors, and other stakeholders to report any concerns or suspicions of modern slavery or human trafficking connected with Storage Finsbury Park. Reports can be made through management channels or by using any internal whistleblowing mechanisms we provide. Reports can be made in confidence, and individuals will not suffer adverse treatment for raising genuine concerns in good faith.
All reports will be taken seriously and investigated promptly and sensitively. Where appropriate, we will work with external advisers or authorities to ensure that any issue is addressed effectively and that affected individuals are protected and supported as far as possible within our sphere of influence.
Training, Awareness, and Responsibilities
We are working to increase awareness of modern slavery risks among our staff, particularly those involved in procurement, facilities management, and supplier relationships. Responsibilities for implementing this statement sit with senior management, who ensure that modern slavery considerations are integrated into relevant policies and procedures.
Employees are expected to familiarise themselves with this statement, follow our internal policies, and remain alert to signs of exploitation. Managers are responsible for escalating concerns and ensuring that any potential issues are addressed swiftly.
Monitoring, Governance, and Annual Review
Storage Finsbury Park is committed to continually improving its approach to tackling modern slavery. We will review this Modern Slavery Statement on an annual basis to assess the effectiveness of our actions, reflect changes in legislation or best practice, and update our commitments where necessary.
As part of this annual review, we will consider the outcomes of any supplier audits, reported concerns, internal risk assessments, and staff feedback. We will use these insights to refine our policies, strengthen our controls, and enhance training and communication. This statement has been approved by the leadership of Storage Finsbury Park, who are responsible for ensuring its implementation across our operations.
