Storage Primrose Hill Modern Slavery Statement
This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by Storage Primrose Hill to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery is a serious violation of human rights and we are committed to acting ethically, transparently, and with integrity in all our business dealings.
Our Zero-Tolerance Approach
Storage Primrose Hill has a clear zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, servitude, human trafficking, debt bondage, and child labour. We will not knowingly engage with any party that is involved in or associated with such practices. All employees, contractors, and suppliers are expected to comply with this policy and uphold the highest standards of ethical conduct.
We communicate our zero-tolerance stance internally and externally and make it clear that any breach of this policy may result in the termination of employment or business relationships, as well as appropriate escalation to relevant authorities where required.
Our Supply Chain and Due Diligence
Our supply chain includes providers of storage equipment, facility maintenance, security services, cleaning, and various professional and support services. We recognise that modern slavery risks can exist at multiple levels within these supply chains, particularly where there are complex or international sourcing arrangements.
To address these risks, we aim to work only with reputable suppliers who share our values and demonstrate a commitment to fair and safe working conditions. We conduct due diligence on higher-risk suppliers, including an assessment of their labour practices, policies, and any previous incidents related to human rights or modern slavery.
Supplier Audits and Monitoring
Storage Primrose Hill undertakes proportionate and risk-based supplier audits to help ensure compliance with our modern slavery expectations. These audits may include reviewing policies, training records, recruitment procedures, and evidence of sub-contractor oversight. Where appropriate, we may request corrective action plans and follow-up evidence to verify that identified issues have been resolved.
If a supplier is found to be in breach of our modern slavery standards, we will consider a range of responses, which may include support to improve practices, enhanced monitoring, suspension of orders, or termination of the business relationship. Our aim is to encourage continuous improvement while maintaining a firm stance against any form of exploitation.
Policies, Training, and Awareness
Our zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery is supported by internal policies covering ethical conduct, recruitment, whistleblowing, and health and safety. These policies apply to all employees and form part of our commitment to maintaining a safe and respectful workplace.
We provide training and guidance to relevant staff to help them understand the signs of modern slavery and the actions they should take if they have concerns. By raising awareness across our organisation, we strengthen our ability to identify risks and respond effectively.
Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing
Storage Primrose Hill encourages all employees, contractors, customers, and other stakeholders to report any concerns or suspicions of modern slavery or unethical labour practices. Concerns can be raised through our established internal reporting channels, including line managers and senior management, or through our whistleblowing procedures, which allow issues to be escalated confidentially and without fear of retaliation.
All reports are treated seriously and will be investigated promptly and sensitively. Where appropriate, we will engage with law enforcement or other relevant bodies. We are committed to protecting anyone who raises genuine concerns in good faith.
Continuous Improvement and Annual Review
We recognise that combating modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility. Storage Primrose Hill is committed to continuously improving our processes, training, and supply chain oversight to reduce the risk of exploitation and promote ethical practices.
This Modern Slavery Statement will be reviewed at least annually by senior management to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with evolving legal requirements and best practice. Any significant changes in our operations or risk profile will be reflected in updated procedures and communicated to our employees and suppliers.
This statement has been approved by the leadership of Storage Primrose Hill and represents our ongoing commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our business.
