Modern Slavery Statement for Storage Coney Hall
This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by Storage Coney Hall 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 organisation that supplies goods or services to us.
Our Zero-Tolerance Policy
Storage Coney Hall has a strict zero-tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, debt bondage, and child labour. This policy applies to all employees, directors, contractors, agency staff, and any third parties working on our behalf. We expect the same high standards from our suppliers and business partners and will not knowingly engage with any organisation that fails to uphold these principles.
Our commitment is communicated clearly in our internal policies and through our supplier terms and conditions. Any breach of this zero-tolerance policy is treated as a serious matter that may result in disciplinary action, termination of contracts, or escalation to relevant authorities where appropriate.
Our Supply Chains and Risk Management
Storage Coney Hall operates within the storage and related services sector, working with a range of suppliers that may include facility management providers, maintenance contractors, equipment suppliers, and professional service firms. We recognise that risks of modern slavery can exist at different tiers of the supply chain, particularly where sourcing may involve high-risk sectors or geographies.
We aim to identify and assess potential risk areas in our supply chains and focus enhanced due diligence where the risk is considered higher. This includes reviewing the nature of services provided, the location of operations, and the labour practices commonly associated with those sectors.
Supplier Standards and Audits
All key suppliers are required to comply with our standards on ethical conduct and modern slavery. As part of our supplier onboarding process, we seek assurances that suppliers operate in accordance with applicable labour laws and do not engage in any form of modern slavery or human trafficking.
We reserve the right to conduct supplier audits or request evidence of compliance, such as policies, procedures, and training records. Where appropriate, we may carry out site visits or request independent audit reports. Any supplier found to be in breach of our standards may be required to implement corrective action within a specified timeframe. If issues are not remedied to our satisfaction, we may suspend or terminate the relationship.
Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing
Storage Coney Hall encourages all employees, contractors, and suppliers to report any concerns or suspicions of modern slavery at the earliest opportunity. We maintain internal reporting channels that allow concerns to be raised confidentially to senior management.
We are committed to ensuring that no one suffers any form of retaliation for raising a genuine concern in good faith. All reports are taken seriously, investigated promptly, and handled with appropriate sensitivity. Where there is evidence of unlawful activity, we will consider reporting the matter to the relevant authorities.
Training and Awareness
We are working to build awareness of modern slavery risks among our employees, particularly those involved in procurement, supplier management, and site operations. Training and guidance are provided so that colleagues can recognise potential warning signs, understand our zero-tolerance policy, and know how to use our reporting channels.
We also encourage our suppliers to provide suitable training to their own workforce to reinforce shared responsibilities in identifying and preventing modern slavery.
Monitoring, Accountability and Annual Review
Responsibility for overseeing our modern slavery approach rests with the senior management team of Storage Coney Hall. They monitor the effectiveness of our controls, review reported incidents, and consider opportunities for improvement.
This Modern Slavery Statement will be reviewed annually to ensure it remains accurate, effective, and aligned with legal requirements and best practice. The review will consider any changes to our operations, supply chains, or risk profile, as well as feedback from employees and suppliers. Updated versions of this statement will be approved by senior management and communicated as appropriate.
Storage Coney Hall remains firmly committed to continuous improvement in identifying, preventing, and addressing the risk of modern slavery in all aspects of our business and supply chains.
