Storage Holland Park Modern Slavery Statement
Storage Holland Park is firmly committed to conducting its business ethically, responsibly, and in full compliance with applicable laws on modern slavery and human trafficking. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to identify, prevent, and address the risk of modern slavery in our operations and supply chains. It applies to all employees, contractors, agency workers, and suppliers engaged by Storage Holland Park.
Our Zero-Tolerance Policy
We operate a clear zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, servitude, and child labour. We will not knowingly engage with any organisation or individual involved in these practices. Our expectation is that everyone working for or with Storage Holland Park shares this commitment and acts in a way that upholds human rights and dignity at all times.
This policy is reflected in our internal procedures, employment practices, and supplier standards. Any breach or suspected breach of this policy is treated as a serious matter and may result in disciplinary action, including termination of employment or contract, and, where appropriate, referral to relevant authorities.
Our Supply Chain Standards
Storage Holland Park engages with a range of suppliers and service providers, including facilities management, security, maintenance, technology, and equipment providers. We expect all suppliers to operate in accordance with laws relating to modern slavery and to maintain high ethical standards throughout their own operations and supply chains.
Suppliers are required to confirm that they do not use forced, bonded, or involuntary labour and that they implement appropriate controls to prevent modern slavery. We seek to work with partners that can demonstrate transparency, effective risk management, and a commitment to continuous improvement in labour practices.
Supplier Audits and Due Diligence
We carry out proportionate due diligence on new and existing suppliers to assess the risk of modern slavery. This may include requests for information about labour practices, recruitment processes, and supply chain management, as well as confirmation of compliance with relevant legislation and our own ethical standards.
Where we identify higher-risk categories of supply, we may undertake additional supplier audits or require further documentation and assurances. If a supplier is unable or unwilling to meet our expectations, we will review the relationship and may suspend or terminate the arrangement.
Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing
Storage Holland Park encourages all employees, contractors, and business partners to speak up if they have concerns about modern slavery or unethical practices in our operations or supply chains. Individuals are urged to raise concerns with their line manager or an appropriate senior manager, who will treat all reports seriously and sensitively.
We are committed to protecting anyone who raises a concern in good faith from retaliation or detrimental treatment. All reports will be reviewed, and where necessary, investigated. Appropriate action will be taken to address confirmed issues, which may include engaging with suppliers, changing working arrangements, and, where required, informing relevant authorities.
Training and Awareness
We aim to build awareness of modern slavery risks among our employees, especially those involved in procurement, supplier management, and facilities operations. Training and guidance are provided so that relevant staff understand how to recognise indicators of modern slavery and how to respond to concerns appropriately.
We regularly reinforce our zero-tolerance approach and ethical expectations through internal communications, policies, and management briefings.
Monitoring, Review, and Continuous Improvement
Storage Holland Park is committed to continuously improving its approach to preventing modern slavery. We monitor the effectiveness of our policies and procedures through management reviews, supplier assessments, and feedback from employees and stakeholders.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually by senior management to ensure it remains relevant, robust, and aligned with evolving legal requirements and good practice. As part of the annual review, we consider any reported incidents, audit findings, and developments in our supply chains to identify opportunities for further improvement.
By publishing this statement, Storage Holland Park reaffirms its commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all business relationships and to implementing effective systems and controls designed to prevent modern slavery in our operations and supply chains.
