Modern Slavery Statement for Storage Partmouth Park
This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by Storage Partmouth Park to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery is a severe violation of fundamental human rights and we are committed to playing our part in eliminating it wherever we may encounter it.
Our Zero-Tolerance Policy
Storage Partmouth Park has a clear and unequivocal zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, and human trafficking. We do not accept any form of exploitation in our business or among those with whom we work. This commitment applies to all team members, contractors, suppliers, and business partners.
All managers and employees are expected to act with integrity and to uphold this policy at all times. We will not knowingly work with any organisation that violates or is unwilling to align with our standards relating to labour practices and human rights.
Our Business and Supply Chains
Storage Partmouth Park provides storage and related services. While we assess our direct operations to be at relatively low risk of modern slavery, we understand that risks can exist in extended supply chains, including providers of goods, maintenance, facilities, and labour services. We therefore take proactive steps to identify and address any potential risks.
Supplier Standards and Audits
We expect all suppliers and service providers to comply with applicable labour and human rights laws, and to uphold standards consistent with our zero-tolerance approach. Our supplier onboarding process includes clear communication of our expectations regarding modern slavery and ethical conduct.
Where appropriate and proportionate to the level of risk, we may conduct supplier audits or request evidence of compliance with labour and human rights standards. This can include relevant policies, workforce information, and details of due diligence processes. If concerns are identified, we will work with the supplier to address them within an agreed timeframe. Where a supplier is unwilling or unable to meet our requirements, we reserve the right to review, suspend, or terminate the relationship.
Employee Awareness and Responsibilities
Employees of Storage Partmouth Park are informed of our zero-tolerance stance and their responsibility to conduct business ethically. We encourage all team members to remain alert to signs of potential exploitation, particularly where third-party labour or contracted services are involved.
Any individual acting on behalf of Storage Partmouth Park is required to comply with this statement and any related internal policies. Breaches may lead to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment or contract, where appropriate.
Reporting Channels and Escalation
Storage Partmouth Park is committed to fostering an environment where concerns about modern slavery or human trafficking can be raised safely and promptly. Employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders are encouraged to report any suspicion or evidence of exploitation, whether within our own operations or in our supply chains.
Concerns can be reported through established internal reporting channels or directly to senior management. Reports will be treated seriously and, where appropriate, investigated confidentially. We will not tolerate any form of 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. Storage Partmouth Park is committed to regularly reviewing and improving our approach. This Modern Slavery Statement, together with related internal procedures, will be reviewed at least once every year, or more frequently if required by changes in legislation, best practice, or our business operations.
The annual review will consider the effectiveness of our current measures, feedback from stakeholders, any identified incidents or risks, and opportunities to strengthen our due diligence, training, and supplier engagement. We will update our practices and this statement as needed to reflect our continuing commitment to preventing modern slavery in all forms.
This statement is approved by the leadership of Storage Partmouth Park and represents our ongoing commitment to ethical and responsible business conduct.
