Modern Slavery Statement for Streatham Storage

Streatham Storage is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that the risk of exploitation can exist in many industries, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery.

Our approach is based on due diligence, accountability, and continuous improvement. We expect all employees, contractors, and business partners to uphold the same standards. Modern slavery is unacceptable in any part of our business, and we will act swiftly if concerns arise. This statement reflects our ongoing commitment to ethical practice across all areas of Streatham Storage.

We assess risk by considering the nature of our services, the locations in which we operate, and the characteristics of our suppliers and service providers. This includes reviewing labour practices, recruitment methods, and subcontracting arrangements. Streatham storage operations are expected to meet clear standards that support safe, fair, and lawful working conditions.

Supplier Standards and Audits

We require suppliers to comply with all applicable labour laws and to demonstrate responsible employment practices. Contracts and onboarding processes include expectations around wages, working hours, freedom of movement, and the prohibition of child labour or forced labour. Where appropriate, we conduct supplier audits and request supporting evidence to verify compliance.

Audits may involve document checks, risk assessments, and reviews of subcontractor controls. If issues are identified, we expect prompt corrective action and reserve the right to reconsider or end the relationship if remediation is not satisfactory. Streatham Storage prioritises working with partners who share our values and who can demonstrate robust ethical standards.

Training and awareness are also central to our controls. Staff involved in procurement, operations, and management receive guidance on identifying warning signs of exploitation, including unusual recruitment fees, restriction of documents, and signs of coercion. This helps strengthen vigilance across the business.

Reporting Concerns and Accountability

We encourage all workers and stakeholders to report concerns without fear of retaliation. Reports can be raised through internal management channels, and concerns will be handled sensitively, confidentially, and promptly. Any allegation of modern slavery is investigated thoroughly, with appropriate action taken in line with our disciplinary and contractual procedures.

Our reporting framework is designed to ensure that concerns are escalated quickly to the relevant decision-makers. Where necessary, we will work with external specialists, legal advisers, or authorities to address potential risks. This commitment supports a culture of responsibility throughout Streatham Storage and its wider supply chain.

We also monitor our operations for emerging risks through periodic reviews of supplier performance, recruitment practices, and business relationships. This ongoing monitoring helps us strengthen our protections and adapt to changing risk factors. Transparency and accountability remain central to our anti-slavery approach.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains accurate, relevant, and effective. The review considers incidents reported, audit findings, changes in legislation, and improvements needed in our procedures. Each year, Streatham Storage evaluates whether additional measures are required to reduce modern slavery risks further.

We are committed to continuous improvement and will update our policies, controls, and training as needed. By maintaining a zero-tolerance approach, strengthening supplier audits, supporting clear reporting channels, and reviewing our framework every year, Streatham storage aims to uphold the highest standards of ethical conduct and human rights protection.
