Self Storage Roehampton Modern Slavery Statement
This Modern Slavery Statement is made by Self Storage Roehampton in relation to our financial year and sets out the steps we are taking to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our business operations and supply chains. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our relationships and to implementing effective systems and controls to ensure that modern slavery is not taking place anywhere in our business or in any of our supply chains.
Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy
Self Storage Roehampton operates a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour and all forms of exploitation. We expect the same high standards from all our employees, contractors, suppliers and business partners. Any indication that modern slavery may be occurring within our sphere of influence will be treated with the utmost seriousness and will result in prompt investigation and, where appropriate, termination of the business relationship.
This commitment is supported by our internal policies on ethics, procurement, recruitment and whistleblowing, which collectively reinforce the principle that exploitation has no place in our organisation or supply chains.
Our Business and Supply Chains
Self Storage Roehampton provides storage facilities and related services to individuals and businesses. Our principal supply chains include property and facility management services, construction and maintenance contractors, security providers, cleaning services, utilities, office equipment and materials, and various professional services. We recognise that some of these sectors can be vulnerable to labour exploitation, and we are committed to identifying and mitigating these risks.
Supplier Standards and Audits
We are progressively embedding modern slavery considerations into our procurement and supplier management processes. All new key suppliers are expected to confirm that they comply with applicable labour, human rights and modern slavery laws. We review supplier terms and conditions to reflect our zero-tolerance stance.
Where we identify higher-risk categories or geographies, we may conduct enhanced due diligence, including targeted supplier questionnaires, requests for supporting documentation on labour practices, and site visits where appropriate. We also reserve the right to audit suppliers to assess compliance with our standards. If a supplier is found to be non-compliant or unwilling to improve, we will take proportionate action, which may include corrective action plans or ending the relationship.
Reporting Concerns and Safe Channels
We encourage anyone working for or with Self Storage Roehampton, as well as other stakeholders, to report any concerns about modern slavery or unethical labour practices connected to our business or supply chains. Concerns can be raised through internal reporting channels, such as line managers or senior management, or through our whistleblowing arrangements, which allow for confidential and good faith reporting without fear of retaliation.
All reports will be taken seriously and investigated promptly and sensitively. Where appropriate, we will work with relevant authorities or specialist organisations and will support any remedial action required to protect affected individuals.
Training and Awareness
We are committed to raising awareness of modern slavery risks among our employees, particularly those involved in procurement, facilities management and supplier relationships. We provide guidance on recognising indicators of exploitation, understanding our policies and knowing how to report concerns. We will continue to develop our training materials and communications to ensure staff remain informed and vigilant.
Monitoring, Accountability and Annual Review
Responsibility for overseeing our approach to modern slavery rests with the senior management of Self Storage Roehampton. We monitor the effectiveness of our measures by reviewing identified risks, supplier performance, reports received and the outcomes of any investigations.
This statement and our wider modern slavery approach are reviewed at least annually to reflect changes in our business, legal requirements and best practice. We will update our processes and this statement as necessary to strengthen our controls and to ensure ongoing alignment with our zero-tolerance commitment.
This Modern Slavery Statement has been approved by the management of Self Storage Roehampton, who are responsible for ensuring that it is implemented and communicated across the organisation and to relevant external partners.
