Modern Slavery Statement for Knightsbridge Storage

At Knightsbridge Storage, we are committed to conducting business ethically and responsibly. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We recognise that zero tolerance must be more than a principle; it must be embedded in our policies, decision-making, and everyday conduct.

Our approach applies across the business, including procurement, facilities, logistics, and outsourced services. We expect all employees, contractors, and suppliers to uphold the same standards. Any form of exploitation is incompatible with our values and will not be accepted under any circumstances.

To support this commitment, Knightsbridge Storage’s modern slavery policy is built on clear prevention, detection, and response measures. We assess risk by considering supplier location, labour practices, service type, and the nature of work involved. Where elevated risk is identified, we apply additional controls and monitoring.

Supplier due diligence is a key part of our programme. Before onboarding and during the relationship, we review suppliers’ ethical policies, labour standards, and contractual commitments. We also reserve the right to request evidence of compliance and to terminate relationships where concerns cannot be resolved.

Our supplier audits help us verify that expectations are being met in practice. Audits may include document checks, worker welfare reviews, site visits, and follow-up actions where weaknesses are found. We prioritise high-risk suppliers and use audit findings to improve controls, strengthen accountability, and reduce exposure to exploitation.

Training is provided to relevant employees so they can identify warning signs such as unusual working hours, retention of documents, restricted movement, or unexplained recruitment fees. This helps ensure that our anti-slavery controls remain practical and effective. Managers are expected to act promptly when concerns arise and to escalate issues without delay.

We encourage a culture of openness and responsibility. Concerns about modern slavery can be raised through internal reporting channels, including line management, HR, compliance, or whistleblowing procedures. Reports are handled seriously, confidentially, and without retaliation against anyone who raises a genuine concern in good faith.

Where a report suggests possible exploitation, we will investigate promptly, take protective action where needed, and cooperate with appropriate authorities if required. Our response may include suspension of supplier activity, corrective action plans, enhanced monitoring, or contract termination depending on the severity of the issue. The objective is always to prevent harm and support remediation.

This Knightsbridge Storage modern slavery statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains current, effective, and aligned with legal requirements and good practice. Each annual review considers risk assessments, audit outcomes, training completion, reported concerns, and any improvements needed. We are committed to continual progress and to strengthening our defences against modern slavery year after year.
