Modern Slavery Statement for Primrosehill Storage

Primrosehill Storage is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation in our operations and supply chains. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery, and we expect the same ethical standards from all parties who work with us. Our approach is designed to identify risk, strengthen oversight, and promote fair treatment throughout our organisation.

We recognise that modern slavery can occur in many sectors and may be hidden within complex labour arrangements or subcontracting chains. As a storage business, Primrosehill Storage understands that risk may arise through construction, maintenance, cleaning, transport, waste management, security, and other outsourced services. For this reason, our slavery and human trafficking statement is more than a declaration; it is a practical framework for prevention, monitoring, and response.

Our governance begins with clear responsibility at management level. Senior leadership reviews compliance expectations, supplier due diligence, and internal controls to ensure that the company remains alert to risks. Staff involved in procurement, operations, and contract management are encouraged to remain vigilant for warning signs such as unusual wage practices, lack of freedom to leave employment, excessive working hours, or signs of coercion. This Primrosehill Storage modern slavery statement is integrated into our wider commitment to lawful and fair business conduct.

Supplier relationships are central to our prevention strategy. We require suppliers to confirm that they comply with all relevant labour laws and do not use forced, bonded, or trafficked labour. Our supplier audits are carried out on a risk-based schedule and may include document checks, worker interviews where appropriate, and verification of recruitment and payment practices. If a concern is identified, we seek immediate corrective action and may suspend or end the relationship if the issue is not resolved.

To reduce risk further, Primrosehill Storage applies due diligence before entering into new contracts and when renewing existing arrangements. We assess the nature of the service, the location of work, the use of subcontractors, and the labour practices of the supplier. Where appropriate, we request evidence of policies, training, worker onboarding processes, and any independent certifications. This helps us build a more transparent and accountable supply chain.

Training is an important part of our response. Relevant employees receive guidance on recognising indicators of exploitation and on the steps to take if a concern is raised. We encourage a culture in which concerns are taken seriously and acted upon promptly. Our anti-slavery measures are strengthened when staff understand both the risk factors and the consequences of inaction. By embedding awareness into daily operations, we improve our ability to detect problems early.

We also provide multiple reporting channels for anyone who wishes to raise a concern about possible modern slavery, unethical labour practices, or unsafe recruitment conduct. Reports can be made through internal management routes, procurement oversight, or formal complaint procedures. Concerns may be raised confidentially, and all reports are reviewed with seriousness and discretion. Retaliation against anyone who reports a concern in good faith is not tolerated.

If a report suggests that modern slavery may be present, Primrosehill Storage will investigate promptly, document findings, and take appropriate action. This may include engaging the supplier, requesting evidence of remediation, notifying relevant authorities where required, and reviewing internal processes to prevent recurrence. We aim to act responsibly, transparently, and in line with our legal and ethical obligations.

Our commitment is ongoing. This Primrosehill Storage slavery statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with changes in legislation, business activity, and supply chain risk. The annual review considers audit outcomes, reported concerns, training uptake, and any lessons learned from supplier assessments. Where improvements are needed, we update our controls and procedures accordingly. Through this cycle of review and improvement, Primrosehill Storage reinforces its determination to prevent modern slavery in all areas of the business.
