Modern Slavery Statement for Haroldhill Storage

Haroldhill Storage is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This Haroldhill Storage modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation within our operations and supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can affect many sectors, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of abuse, coercion, or unlawful labour practice.

As a responsible storage business, Haroldhill Storage expects everyone working for or with us to uphold the highest standards of ethical conduct. Our approach is guided by diligence, accountability, and continuous improvement. We assess risk across our business activities and use proportionate controls to identify, prevent, and address potential concerns. This statement reflects our commitment to the Haroldhill Storage anti-slavery policy and to safeguarding the wellbeing of workers in every part of our supply chain.

Our Zero-Tolerance Policy

Modern slavery, in any form, is strictly prohibited at Haroldhill Storage. We will not knowingly engage with suppliers, contractors, or partners who fail to meet our standards on labour rights and ethical sourcing. Any confirmed breach may result in immediate review, suspension, or termination of the relationship. This zero-tolerance stance is embedded in our procurement decisions, onboarding checks, and ongoing supplier management.

We require all relevant third parties to comply with applicable employment laws, provide fair working conditions, and prohibit child labour, debt bondage, and exploitation. Our internal teams are encouraged to remain alert to signs of risk, including unusual recruitment practices, restricted movement, withheld wages, or intimidation. By reinforcing these expectations, the Haroldhill Storage slavery and human trafficking statement supports a culture where exploitation has no place.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

Supplier audits are a central part of our prevention strategy. We apply risk-based checks to suppliers and service providers, focusing on labour-intensive activities, geographic risk, and sectors with known vulnerability to exploitation. These audits may include document reviews, worker welfare checks, and confirmation of recruitment and employment practices. Where concerns are identified, we expect corrective action plans and follow-up verification.

Our due diligence process also includes reviewing supplier policies, contractual commitments, and any available evidence of compliance with labour standards. We seek to work collaboratively with suppliers to improve practices where needed, but we reserve the right to escalate concerns if progress is insufficient. Through these measures, Haroldhill Storage modern slavery controls remain practical, proportionate, and responsive to changing risk.

Reporting Channels and Escalation

We encourage any employee, contractor, or supplier to report concerns about modern slavery or unethical labour practices without delay. Reports may be made through internal management routes or designated reporting mechanisms, and all concerns are handled seriously and confidentially. We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith. This commitment helps ensure that possible issues are identified early and addressed appropriately.

When a concern is raised, we assess the information promptly and determine the appropriate response. This may include further investigation, temporary suspension of a supplier relationship, remediation steps, or referral to external authorities where necessary. Haroldhill Storage believes that clear reporting channels are essential for effective prevention, because they help create an environment where people feel safe to speak up and action can be taken quickly.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement and our related controls are reviewed at least once every year to ensure they remain effective and aligned with current legal and ethical expectations. The annual review considers audit findings, supplier performance, internal training, reported concerns, and any changes in business activity or risk exposure. Where improvements are needed, we update our procedures and strengthen oversight accordingly.

Haroldhill Storage is committed to continual progress in preventing modern slavery across our operations and supply chain. By maintaining a strong policy framework, carrying out supplier audits, supporting effective reporting channels, and completing an annual review, we aim to uphold the values of fairness, dignity, and responsibility. This Haroldhill Storage modern slavery statement demonstrates our ongoing determination to help eliminate exploitation wherever it may occur.
