Storage Harold Park Modern Slavery Statement
This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps Storage Harold Park has taken, and continues to take, to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all business relationships and to implementing effective controls to safeguard people from exploitation.
Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy
Storage Harold Park maintains a strict zero-tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, servitude, and child labour. This commitment applies to our own activities and to all third parties with whom we have a business relationship, including contractors, suppliers, and service providers.
We expect everyone working with or for Storage Harold Park to share this commitment. Any form of modern slavery is incompatible with our values and will lead to decisive corrective action, which may include terminating contracts or business relationships where breaches are identified.
Governance and Responsibility
Overall responsibility for our modern slavery approach rests with the senior management team at Storage Harold Park. They are responsible for ensuring that suitable policies, procedures, and due diligence processes are in place and that they are regularly reviewed and improved.
Managers at all levels are responsible for ensuring that those reporting to them understand and comply with this Statement. Employees are required to act with integrity, follow our policies, and report any concerns about potential modern slavery risks.
Suppliers, Due Diligence, and Audits
Our supply chains include providers of storage-related equipment, facilities management, maintenance, and other professional and support services. We seek to work only with suppliers who share our ethical standards and commitment to human rights.
As part of our supplier due diligence process, we assess the risk of modern slavery in our supply chains and take steps to verify that our suppliers operate in accordance with applicable labour and human rights laws. Where appropriate, we require suppliers to confirm their own modern slavery measures and to provide relevant documentation or statements.
Storage Harold Park may conduct or commission supplier audits, particularly where higher risks are identified. These audits may include site visits, review of employment records, and discussions with workers and management to confirm that labour practices are fair, voluntary, and compliant with legal requirements.
Training, Awareness, and Reporting Channels
We aim to foster a culture in which modern slavery risks are understood, taken seriously, and promptly addressed. Relevant employees receive information or training on identifying signs of modern slavery, understanding risk factors, and following our reporting procedures.
Storage Harold Park encourages all employees, contractors, and suppliers to raise concerns about potential modern slavery or unethical labour practices at the earliest possible stage. Concerns can be raised internally to line managers or senior management, or through any other established reporting channels within the business.
Reports will be treated sensitively and, where possible, confidentially. We will not tolerate any form of victimisation or retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith, even if it is not substantiated after investigation.
Continuous Improvement and Annual Review
We recognise that tackling modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility that requires continuous improvement. Storage Harold Park is committed to regularly reviewing and enhancing our policies, risk assessment methods, and supplier engagement activities to strengthen our controls.
This Modern Slavery Statement will be reviewed at least annually by the senior management team to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with legislative requirements and best practice. We will consider the outcomes of supplier audits, employee feedback, and any reported concerns when updating our processes.
By publishing this Statement, Storage Harold Park confirms its ongoing commitment to preventing modern slavery in all its forms and to promoting safe, fair, and respectful working conditions throughout our operations and supply chains.
