Storage Motspur Park Modern Slavery Statement
This Modern Slavery Statement is made by Storage Motspur Park in recognition of the responsibility we share in preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. It outlines the measures we have in place to identify, prevent, and address risks relating to forced labour, servitude, and human trafficking.
Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy
Storage Motspur Park operates a clear zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking. We are committed to conducting our business ethically and with integrity, and to ensuring that modern slavery is not taking place in any part of our operations or supply chains. This commitment applies to all employees, directors, contractors, agency staff, and suppliers associated with our business activities.
We expect everyone who works with or for Storage Motspur Park to share our stance. Any breach or suspected breach of this policy will be treated with the utmost seriousness and may lead to termination of contracts, disciplinary action where applicable, and notification to relevant authorities where required.
Our Operations and Supply Chain
Storage Motspur Park provides storage and related services to individuals and businesses. While our direct operations are relatively low risk in terms of modern slavery, we recognise that risks may exist within our supply chain. This includes suppliers responsible for construction, maintenance, cleaning, security, equipment, and the provision of goods and services that support our day-to-day operations.
We are committed to working only with suppliers that uphold high ethical standards and demonstrate robust policies and practices to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking.
Supplier Standards and Audits
We expect our suppliers and business partners to uphold our zero-tolerance approach. As part of our supplier management processes, we communicate our expectations regarding labour standards, working conditions, and human rights. We reserve the right to conduct audits, assessments, or reviews of our suppliers where we believe there may be a risk of non-compliance.
These audits or reviews may include requesting information about employment practices, recruitment procedures, use of labour agencies, and evidence of compliance with relevant legislation. Where risks or concerns are identified, we will work with the supplier to address them within a reasonable timeframe. If improvements are not made, we may reconsider, suspend, or terminate the business relationship.
Risk Assessment and Due Diligence
Storage Motspur Park is developing and refining processes to identify and assess areas of potential risk in our supply chain. This may include categorising suppliers based on the nature of the services they provide, their geographical location, and the sectors in which they operate. Higher-risk relationships will be subject to enhanced due diligence, including more frequent engagement and, where appropriate, further review.
We seek to build long-term, transparent relationships with suppliers who are willing to collaborate with us to uphold human rights and prevent modern slavery.
Reporting Concerns and Whistleblowing Channels
We encourage employees, suppliers, and any other stakeholders to raise concerns about any issue or suspicion of modern slavery in any part of our business or supply chain. Concerns can be raised through existing internal reporting channels or by speaking to a line manager, senior manager, or designated safeguarding contact within Storage Motspur Park.
All concerns raised will be taken seriously and handled sensitively. We are committed to protecting those who report genuine concerns from any form of retaliation or detrimental treatment. Information received will be treated confidentially as far as is reasonably possible, and appropriate steps will be taken to investigate and, where necessary, act on the information provided.
Training and Awareness
We recognise that awareness and understanding are essential to identifying and preventing modern slavery. Storage Motspur Park is working to ensure that relevant staff, particularly those involved in procurement, supplier management, and site operations, are aware of the signs of modern slavery and know how to respond to concerns.
We will keep our approach under review and consider appropriate training or guidance materials to support continuous improvement in this area.
Monitoring, Accountability and Annual Review
The responsibility for overseeing our approach to modern slavery rests with the senior management of Storage Motspur Park. They are accountable for ensuring that this statement is implemented in practice and that modern slavery risks are appropriately managed.
This Modern Slavery Statement will be reviewed annually and updated where necessary to reflect changes in our business operations, supply chains, regulatory requirements, and best practice. As part of this review, we will assess the effectiveness of our actions, consider feedback from stakeholders, and identify opportunities for improvement. The updated statement will be approved by senior management and made available to employees, suppliers, and customers.
Storage Motspur Park remains committed to continuous improvement in the prevention of modern slavery and to working collaboratively with our partners to promote ethical and responsible business practices across all aspects of our operations.
