Modern Slavery Statement for Storage Knightsbridge
This Modern Slavery Statement is made by Storage Knightsbridge and sets out the steps we are taking to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We are committed to conducting business ethically, transparently, and in full respect of human rights.
Our Zero-Tolerance Approach
Storage Knightsbridge has a strict zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, servitude, human trafficking, child labour, and any form of exploitation. We expect the same high standards from all individuals and organisations we work with, including employees, contractors, suppliers, and business partners.
We will not knowingly engage with any party that is involved in or associated with modern slavery or human trafficking. Where credible concerns arise, we will take prompt and decisive action, which may include suspension or termination of the business relationship and reporting to the relevant authorities where appropriate.
Our Operations and Supply Chain
Storage Knightsbridge operates storage and related services and relies on a range of goods and service providers, including facility management, security, cleaning, equipment, and professional services. We recognise that risks of modern slavery can occur at any stage of the supply chain, particularly where there are low-skilled, temporary, or migrant workers involved or where sourcing occurs from higher-risk regions or sectors.
We are working to identify, assess, and mitigate these risks across our procurement activities, with a focus on higher-risk categories. Our goal is to ensure that the goods and services we procure are produced and provided in conditions that respect the dignity, welfare, and rights of workers.
Supplier Standards and Audits
Our suppliers are expected to comply with all applicable labour, employment, and human rights laws. We require suppliers to operate in a manner consistent with our zero-tolerance stance on modern slavery and to maintain appropriate policies, procedures, and training within their own operations and supply chains.
We are strengthening our supplier due diligence processes by incorporating modern slavery risk assessments into supplier selection and ongoing review. Where appropriate, we reserve the right to conduct audits or request evidence of compliance, such as policies, risk assessments, and workforce practices. Non-compliance or refusal to cooperate with our requirements may result in remedial action, including termination of the supplier relationship.
Employee Awareness and Responsibilities
Employees of Storage Knightsbridge are expected to uphold our values and act with integrity in all business dealings. We provide guidance and awareness on recognising indicators of modern slavery and the importance of reporting concerns. Managers are responsible for promoting a culture of openness and ensuring that modern slavery risks are considered when engaging third parties or contractors.
Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing
We encourage anyone who works for or with Storage Knightsbridge to raise concerns about potential or suspected modern slavery in our operations or supply chain. Concerns can be reported through our internal reporting channels or to senior management. Reports can be made confidentially and will be treated sensitively and seriously.
No person will suffer any detrimental treatment for reporting a genuine concern in good faith, even if it is later found to be unfounded. We will investigate reported concerns promptly and take appropriate action where necessary.
Continuous Improvement and Annual Review
Storage Knightsbridge recognises that tackling modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility that requires continuous improvement. We are committed to regularly reviewing and enhancing our policies, risk assessments, and supplier engagement practices to address emerging risks and best practice standards.
This Modern Slavery Statement will be reviewed at least annually by the leadership of Storage Knightsbridge. The review will consider the effectiveness of our actions, relevant legal developments, and feedback from stakeholders. Where needed, we will update our approach and communicate changes to employees and key suppliers.
This Statement reflects Storage Knightsbridge's ongoing commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our business and supply chains.
