London Storage Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement is made by London Storage in recognition of our responsibility to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We are committed to upholding human rights, promoting fair working conditions, and ensuring that everyone who works with or for London Storage is treated with dignity and respect.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

London Storage maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour. This policy applies to all employees, agency workers, contractors, and suppliers who provide goods or services to our business. We will not knowingly work with any party that fails to uphold these standards.

We expect everyone in our business and supply chain to act ethically, with integrity, and in full compliance with all applicable laws relating to modern slavery and human trafficking. Any breach or suspected breach of this policy will be treated seriously and may result in the termination of contracts or working relationships.

Our Operations and Supply Chains

London Storage provides storage solutions and related services. Our operations involve premises management, security, customer services, and the procurement of goods such as storage equipment, maintenance services, cleaning services, and office supplies. We recognise that some areas of our supply chain may present a higher risk of labour exploitation, particularly where subcontracted services or international sourcing are involved.

We are committed to identifying, assessing, and reducing the risk of modern slavery across all aspects of our business, including the selection and ongoing management of suppliers.

Supplier Standards and Audits

We require our suppliers and service providers to uphold standards consistent with our zero-tolerance approach. As part of our supplier onboarding and renewal processes, we assess the ethical and labour practices of key suppliers, taking into account country risk, sector risk, and the nature of the services provided.

Where appropriate, we conduct audits or request evidence of compliance, such as policies on labour practices, workforce training, and mechanisms for raising concerns. We reserve the right to carry out site visits or commission independent audits where we consider the risk to be higher or where concerns have been raised. Suppliers who fail to meet our expectations are required to implement corrective actions within a reasonable timeframe, and persistent non-compliance may result in the termination of the business relationship.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

London Storage encourages a culture of openness, where concerns about modern slavery or unethical practices can be raised without fear of retaliation. Employees, workers, and third parties are encouraged to report any suspicion or knowledge of modern slavery or human trafficking in our operations or supply chains through established internal reporting channels or directly to senior management.

All reports are treated seriously and, where appropriate, investigated promptly and impartially. We will take appropriate action in response to any substantiated concerns, which may include notifying relevant authorities, supporting affected individuals, and reviewing our relationships with implicated suppliers or contractors.

Training and Awareness

We are committed to raising awareness of modern slavery among our staff, particularly those involved in procurement, facilities management, and supplier oversight. Training and guidance are provided to help employees recognise indicators of modern slavery, understand our policies, and know how to respond to and report concerns.

Monitoring, Governance, and Annual Review

Responsibility for overseeing our approach to modern slavery sits with the senior management of London Storage. We monitor the effectiveness of our policies and procedures through periodic reviews of supplier performance, incident reports, and feedback from staff and partners.

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains current, effective, and aligned with legal requirements and best practice. As part of this review, we evaluate the actions taken over the previous year, identify any incidents or emerging risks, and set priorities for further improvement in the coming year.

London Storage is committed to continual improvement in our efforts to prevent modern slavery and to maintain transparent, responsible, and ethical operations across all areas of our business.
