Modern Slavery Statement for Self Storage Finsbury Park
This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the approach of Self Storage Finsbury Park to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to conduct business ethically and transparently, and we are committed to continually improving our practices to combat modern slavery in all its forms.
Our Zero-Tolerance Approach
Self Storage Finsbury Park has a strict zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour and all forms of exploitation. This policy applies to all aspects of our business, including our own workforce, contractors, and all tiers of our supply chain.
We expect all individuals and organisations working with or on behalf of Self Storage Finsbury Park to share this commitment. Any breach or suspected breach of our modern slavery standards is treated as a serious matter that may result in termination of contracts, removal from approved supplier lists, or further action as appropriate.
Our Business and Supply Chains
Self Storage Finsbury Park provides storage solutions to personal, business and trade customers. While our direct workforce is relatively small and primarily based on-site, we recognise that risks can arise through the goods and services we procure, such as building maintenance, cleaning, security, equipment, and other professional services.
We are committed to identifying, assessing and addressing modern slavery risks in our supply chains. We aim to work with suppliers who uphold high labour standards, respect human rights and comply with applicable employment and modern slavery legislation.
Supplier Due Diligence and Audits
We conduct due diligence on new and existing suppliers that are considered higher risk due to sector, geography or nature of services. As part of this process, we seek confirmation that suppliers:
Operate in compliance with all relevant labour and human rights legislation; do not use forced, bonded or involuntary labour; do not tolerate child labour; provide fair wages and safe working conditions; and maintain transparent recruitment and employment practices.
Where appropriate, we reserve the right to request additional information from suppliers on their own modern slavery policies and controls. We may also carry out proportionate audits or request evidence of compliance, including copies of policies, training materials or supply chain assessments. Failure to provide adequate assurances or to address identified concerns may result in the review or termination of the commercial relationship.
Reporting Concerns and Speaking Up
We encourage all employees, contractors, suppliers and customers to raise any concerns about modern slavery or unethical labour practices connected to Self Storage Finsbury Park. Concerns may relate to our own operations or to any supplier or contractor associated with our business.
Reports can be made to management in person or through existing internal reporting channels. We will treat all concerns seriously, investigate them promptly and, where appropriate, take corrective action. We do not tolerate victimisation of any person who raises concerns in good faith, and we will take steps to protect their confidentiality as far as reasonably possible.
Training and Awareness
We are committed to increasing awareness of modern slavery risks among relevant staff members, particularly those involved in procurement, supplier management and site operations. Training and guidance may include information on recognising warning signs, understanding our zero-tolerance approach and knowing how to escalate concerns.
By building awareness, we aim to ensure that our teams are equipped to identify potential risks and act quickly where issues are suspected.
Monitoring, Review and Continuous Improvement
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least annually to ensure it remains accurate, effective and aligned with best practice and legal requirements. As part of this review, we consider any incidents reported, audit findings, changes in our supply chain and developments in legislation or industry guidance.
We are committed to strengthening our controls over time, which may include enhancing supplier assessments, expanding training, and refining our reporting and escalation processes. Through ongoing monitoring and improvement, Self Storage Finsbury Park aims to play a responsible role in helping to eradicate modern slavery from our industry and wider community.
