Storage Enfield Highway Modern Slavery Statement
This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by Storage Enfield Highway to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to uphold human rights and to act with integrity in all our business relationships.
Modern slavery includes slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, child labour, and human trafficking. Storage Enfield Highway is committed to conducting business in a manner that respects the dignity and rights of all individuals who work with or for us.
Zero-Tolerance Approach
Storage Enfield Highway has a zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. We are committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery in any part of our operations or in our supply chains. This commitment is embedded in our policies, procedures, and day-to-day decision-making.
All staff, contractors, and suppliers are expected to uphold this zero-tolerance stance. Any breach or suspected breach of this policy will be treated seriously and may result in immediate termination of contracts or working relationships, as well as notification to appropriate authorities where required.
Supply Chain Standards and Supplier Audits
Our suppliers and service providers play an important role in helping us deliver secure and reliable storage services. We expect all suppliers to share our commitment to preventing modern slavery and to comply with all applicable labour, employment, and human rights laws.
We take a risk-based approach to our supply chain and conduct assessments to identify areas where the risk of modern slavery may be higher. Where appropriate, we carry out supplier audits or request evidence of compliance, including policies and procedures addressing labour standards, working conditions, recruitment practices, and employee welfare.
Suppliers are required to confirm that they do not engage in, or support, any form of modern slavery. Where concerns arise, we may require corrective action, enhanced monitoring, or, where necessary, termination of the supplier relationship.
Staff Awareness and Responsibilities
Storage Enfield Highway promotes awareness of modern slavery among employees so that they can recognise potential indicators of exploitation and know how to respond. Employees are informed of our zero-tolerance policy and their duty to act ethically and report any concerns promptly.
Managers are responsible for ensuring that their teams understand this statement and comply with our standards. They are also responsible for escalating any potential issues or suspicions of modern slavery through the appropriate internal channels.
Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing
We encourage all employees, contractors, suppliers, and other stakeholders to report any concerns or suspicions of modern slavery within our operations or supply chains. Reports can be made to management or through our internal reporting procedures, which are designed to ensure that concerns are handled sensitively, promptly, and, where possible, confidentially.
No individual will suffer any form of retaliation for raising a concern in good faith, even if it is not substantiated following investigation. All reported concerns will be reviewed and investigated, and appropriate action will be taken where necessary.
Continuous Improvement and Annual Review
Storage Enfield Highway is committed to continually improving its approach to identifying and addressing the risk of modern slavery. We regularly consider emerging best practices, changes in legislation, and feedback from stakeholders to strengthen our controls and procedures.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least annually to ensure it remains current, effective, and aligned with our operational activities and risk profile. As part of this annual review, we assess the effectiveness of our supplier audits, training and awareness, reporting mechanisms, and any remedial actions undertaken during the period.
Following each review, we may update this statement and our internal processes to better prevent, detect, and address modern slavery risks. Storage Enfield Highway remains committed to transparency and accountability in reporting on our progress and actions in this important area.
