Storage Grange Park Modern Slavery Statement
This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps Storage Grange Park has taken, and continues to take, to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. Storage Grange Park recognises that modern slavery is a serious crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships and to implementing effective systems and controls to safeguard against any form of modern slavery.
Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy
Storage Grange Park adopts a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour in any part of our business or supply chain. This position applies to all directors, employees, agency workers, contractors, and suppliers who work with or on behalf of Storage Grange Park.
We expect everyone who represents our organisation to share our commitment to upholding human rights and to ensure that no one is forced, coerced, or deceived into work. Any actual or suspected instance of modern slavery connected to our business will be treated with the utmost seriousness, investigated promptly, and, where appropriate, reported to relevant authorities.
Our Operations and Supply Chain
Storage Grange Park provides storage facilities and related services. Our supply chain includes providers of construction, maintenance, cleaning, security, equipment, utilities, professional services, and other goods and services necessary for our operations.
We recognise that certain sectors and geographic regions present higher risks of labour exploitation. We therefore aim to give particular attention to suppliers involved in manual, low-skilled, or subcontracted work, and to those who procure goods or services from higher-risk environments.
Supplier Standards and Audits
We are committed to working only with suppliers who uphold standards consistent with our own. Storage Grange Park requires suppliers to comply with all applicable labour, employment, and human rights laws and to prohibit forced, bonded, or involuntary labour, as well as human trafficking and child labour.
To support this commitment, we conduct proportionate due diligence on new and existing suppliers. This may include pre-qualification questionnaires, risk assessments, and, where appropriate, on-site or remote audits. Supplier audits focus on working conditions, recruitment practices, the use of subcontractors, and the presence of clear policies addressing modern slavery.
Where concerns are identified, we expect suppliers to implement timely corrective actions. Failure to adequately address identified issues, or any confirmed instance of modern slavery, may result in the termination of the business relationship with Storage Grange Park.
Reporting Concerns and Whistleblowing
Storage Grange Park encourages a culture of openness in which employees, contractors, suppliers, and other stakeholders feel able to raise concerns about modern slavery without fear of retaliation. Individuals are encouraged to report any suspicion or evidence of modern slavery in our operations or supply chain through our established internal reporting channels or directly to management.
All reports will be treated seriously, handled sensitively, and investigated appropriately. Where necessary, Storage Grange Park will cooperate with law enforcement, regulatory bodies, and other relevant organisations. Retaliation against any person who raises a concern in good faith is strictly prohibited.
Training, Awareness, and Continuous Improvement
We aim to ensure that relevant employees understand the risks and indicators of modern slavery and human trafficking. Training and guidance are provided to those involved in procurement, supplier management, and site operations so they can identify potential risks and respond appropriately.
Storage Grange Park is committed to continuously improving our processes for identifying, preventing, and addressing modern slavery risks. We review our policies, procedures, and due diligence measures to enhance their effectiveness and to reflect emerging best practice.
Monitoring and Annual Review
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains accurate, relevant, and aligned with our operational activities and legal obligations. The review includes an assessment of identified risks, the effectiveness of our supplier audits, the operation of our reporting channels, and any incidents or concerns raised during the year.
Updates to this Statement, and any significant changes to our approach, will be approved by the appropriate leadership within Storage Grange Park and communicated internally and externally as required. Through ongoing vigilance, collaboration, and improvement, Storage Grange Park remains committed to playing its part in eradicating modern slavery and human trafficking.
