Self Storage Haringey Modern Slavery Statement
This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the approach taken by Self Storage Haringey to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to uphold and promote human rights, act ethically, and ensure that modern slavery has no place in any part of our business.
Modern slavery includes slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, and human trafficking. We are committed to continually reviewing and improving our practices to help identify, prevent, and address any risk of modern slavery.
Our Zero-Tolerance Commitment
Self Storage Haringey has a clear and uncompromising zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. This applies to all aspects of our business activities, from direct employment to the relationships we maintain with suppliers and contractors. Any form of modern slavery is incompatible with our values and standards.
We expect all individuals and organisations working with or on behalf of Self Storage Haringey to share this commitment. Where we identify a breach or credible risk of breach, we will take appropriate action, which may include terminating commercial relationships and reporting concerns to relevant authorities.
Our Business and Supply Chain
Self Storage Haringey provides storage services to a wide range of customers. While our business is primarily based in the United Kingdom, we recognise that elements of our supply chain, such as equipment, materials, and contracted services, may originate from or be delivered through different regions and sectors that pose varying degrees of risk.
We aim to work with reputable suppliers who adhere to ethical practices, support workers rights, and maintain safe working conditions. We are committed to increasing transparency and visibility across our supply chain.
Supplier Standards and Audits
We expect our suppliers, contractors, and service providers to operate with integrity and in full compliance with all applicable labour and human rights laws. Our expectations are communicated through our procurement processes and supplier relationships.
To reinforce this, we are developing and implementing proportionate due diligence and audit measures. These may include:
Reviewing supplier policies, codes of conduct, and contractual terms relating to labour standards and modern slavery; requesting confirmations or declarations that suppliers are taking steps to prevent modern slavery; and, where appropriate, conducting risk-based checks or assessments of suppliers, particularly where operations or sectors may present higher risk.
Where non-compliance or concerns are identified through these audits and reviews, we will work with suppliers to address the issues in a timely manner or consider ending the relationship where improvement is not achievable or forthcoming.
Reporting Concerns and Whistleblowing
Self Storage Haringey encourages all employees, contractors, suppliers, and other stakeholders to report any concerns or suspicions of modern slavery or human trafficking within our operations or supply chains.
Concerns can be raised through existing internal reporting channels, including line managers or senior management, and any reports will be treated seriously, handled sensitively, and investigated where appropriate. We do not tolerate victimisation or retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith.
We also expect our suppliers to maintain suitable mechanisms that allow their workers to speak up if they witness or experience exploitative practices.
Training and Awareness
We are committed to building awareness of modern slavery risks among our team. Relevant employees will receive guidance to help them recognise possible indicators of modern slavery and understand how to respond to concerns. This includes staff involved in procurement, facilities management, and supplier engagement.
Monitoring, Review, and Continuous Improvement
Self Storage Haringey is committed to continually improving its approach to tackling modern slavery and human trafficking. We will review this statement at least once every year to reflect any changes in our business structure, supply chains, risk profile, or applicable law.
As part of this annual review, we will consider the effectiveness of our current measures, including supplier due diligence, employee awareness, and reporting channels. We will refine our policies and procedures where necessary and explore opportunities to strengthen our prevention and response framework.
This statement has been approved by the management of Self Storage Haringey and represents our ongoing commitment to act ethically, with integrity and transparency, in all our business dealings and relationships.
