Storage Tottenham Modern Slavery Statement
This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the actions taken by Storage Tottenham to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. Storage Tottenham recognises that modern slavery is a severe violation of fundamental human rights and is committed to acting ethically, transparently, and with integrity in all business dealings.
Our Zero-Tolerance Approach
Storage Tottenham has a clear zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour, servitude, and exploitation. This applies to all aspects of our business, including storage operations, facilities management, procurement, and any contracted services. We expect the same level of commitment from all parties we work with, including suppliers, contractors, and other business partners.
All employees and representatives of Storage Tottenham are required to comply with this policy and with all applicable laws relating to modern slavery. Any suspected breach will be treated seriously and may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment or contract, and, where appropriate, referral to the relevant authorities.
Governance and Responsibility
The management team at Storage Tottenham is responsible for overseeing compliance with this statement and ensuring that modern slavery risks are identified, assessed, and addressed. Managers are required to promote awareness of modern slavery issues and to ensure that employees are supported in raising concerns without fear of retaliation.
We integrate modern slavery considerations into our wider risk management and ethical business practices. This includes taking reasonable steps to understand and mitigate any risks in the services and products we procure.
Supplier Standards and Audits
Storage Tottenham expects all suppliers and contractors to adhere to standards that are consistent with our zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery. As part of our supplier due diligence, we assess new and existing suppliers for potential risks related to labour exploitation and unethical practices.
We conduct periodic supplier reviews and audits that may include requests for information on working conditions, recruitment practices, use of subcontractors, and compliance with labour laws. Where possible, we seek written confirmations from suppliers that they prohibit modern slavery within their own operations and supply chains.
If concerns are identified during an audit or review, Storage Tottenham will work with the supplier to implement corrective actions within a reasonable timeframe. Where a supplier fails to demonstrate adequate commitment or improvement, we may reconsider or terminate the business relationship.
Reporting Concerns and Whistleblowing
Storage Tottenham encourages all employees, workers in our supply chains, and any other stakeholders to report any concerns or suspicions of modern slavery. Reports can be made to a line manager, a senior manager, or through existing internal reporting channels. We are committed to handling all reports sensitively, fairly, and, where possible, confidentially.
No one who raises a genuine concern in good faith will suffer any form of detrimental treatment for doing so. Retaliation against any individual for reporting a concern or assisting in an investigation is strictly prohibited and will be treated as a serious disciplinary matter.
Training and Awareness
Storage Tottenham aims to ensure that relevant employees, particularly those involved in procurement and supplier management, understand the risks and indicators of modern slavery. We provide guidance so that staff can recognise warning signs, know how to respond, and understand the importance of acting promptly.
We also strive to foster a culture of openness and integrity, where ethical conduct is valued and expected at all levels of the organisation.
Continuous Improvement and Annual Review
Storage Tottenham recognises that tackling modern slavery is an ongoing process that requires continuous review and improvement. We will review this Modern Slavery Statement at least once every year, or more frequently if required by changes in legislation, our operations, or identified risks.
As part of the annual review, we will evaluate the effectiveness of our actions, including supplier audits, training initiatives, and reporting mechanisms. Where needed, we will update our procedures and practices to strengthen our approach and further reduce the risk of modern slavery in our business and supply chains.
This Modern Slavery Statement has been approved by the management of Storage Tottenham and reflects our commitment to responsible, ethical, and lawful business operations.
