Modern Slavery Statement for Selfstorage Greenwich

Selfstorage Greenwich is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our zero-tolerance policy toward slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking across our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can take many forms, including debt bondage, coercion, and exploitation, and we will not tolerate any practice that undermines the dignity or freedom of any person.

Our approach is guided by ethical responsibility, legal compliance, and continuous improvement. We expect every colleague, contractor, and business partner to act in line with our values. At Selfstorage Greenwich, we believe a strong anti-slavery position begins with clear standards, practical oversight, and a culture where concerns can be raised safely and addressed promptly.

This statement applies to all areas of the Selfstorage Greenwich business, including procurement, facility management, maintenance, logistics, and third-party services. We are committed to reviewing our procedures regularly so that the self storage Greenwich operation remains resilient against risks linked to exploitation. Where concerns are identified, we will take decisive action, including suspension or termination of relationships where appropriate.

Our Commitment and Governance

To support our zero-tolerance approach, selfstorage Greenwich maintains internal controls designed to identify and reduce slavery-related risks. These include supplier due diligence, contract review, employee awareness, and management oversight. Senior management is responsible for ensuring this policy is implemented effectively and that any indicators of abuse are escalated without delay.

We also require relevant team members to understand the signs of forced labour and exploitation. Training is proportionate to role and includes practical awareness of unusual worker conditions, restricted movement, excessive recruitment fees, and withholding of wages or identity documents. By strengthening awareness across the self storage greenwich business, we improve our ability to detect and prevent harm.

Supplier audits are an essential part of our control framework. We assess suppliers based on risk, geography, service type, and labour practices. Higher-risk suppliers may be subject to document checks, on-site visits, and follow-up questions about recruitment, working hours, payment methods, and subcontracting arrangements. Where a supplier fails to meet our standards, we require corrective action and monitor progress closely.

Reporting Channels and Investigation

Selfstorage Greenwich encourages everyone connected with the business to report any concern, however small it may seem. Reporting channels are designed to be accessible, confidential, and free from retaliation. Concerns may relate to employment practices, supplier conduct, contractor behaviour, or suspicious working conditions observed on or near our sites.

All reports are handled seriously and investigated in a fair and discreet manner. Where necessary, we will involve relevant managers, HR personnel, or external advisers to determine the facts and decide on the right response. If a report indicates a credible risk of modern slavery, immediate protective steps may be taken while the issue is examined.

We do not tolerate victimisation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith. Protection for whistleblowers is central to our ethical standards, and all employees are expected to cooperate fully with investigations. In this way, selfstorage greenwich seeks to create an environment where transparency is normal and exploitation has no place.

Supply Chain Controls and Continuous Improvement

Our supply chain covers a range of services and products, from construction and maintenance to cleaning, security, and operational support. Because risks can appear at any level, we apply a proportionate risk-based approach to supplier onboarding and ongoing review. This includes checking legal status, business ownership, labour sourcing, and any use of labour agencies or subcontractors.

Where suitable, we include anti-slavery obligations in contracts and expect suppliers to pass similar requirements on to their own supply chains. We may request evidence of training, workforce policies, right-to-work checks, and grievance mechanisms. By reinforcing these expectations, Selfstorage Greenwich encourages responsible conduct beyond our immediate operations.

We recognise that modern slavery risks can change over time, especially as supply chains evolve. For that reason, our anti-slavery controls are not static. We aim to strengthen monitoring, improve supplier engagement, and learn from any incidents or near-misses so that self storage greenwich remains proactive rather than reactive.

Annual Review

This statement and the measures it supports are reviewed annually by management to ensure they remain effective, relevant, and aligned with current legislation and best practice. The review considers supplier audit outcomes, reported concerns, investigation findings, training completion, and any identified areas for improvement.

The annual review also helps us measure progress in embedding a culture of accountability throughout Selfstorage Greenwich. If further action is needed, we will update procedures, strengthen oversight, and revise supplier requirements accordingly. Our commitment is long-term: to prevent abuse, protect people, and promote responsible business conduct across the selfstorage greenwich organisation.
