Modern Slavery Statement for Selfstorage Kentishtown

Selfstorage Kentishtown is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out our approach to preventing slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and other forms of exploitation across our operations and supply chains. We recognise that a responsible self storage provider must maintain clear standards not only in direct employment practices, but also in the way goods and services are sourced, managed, and reviewed.

Our zero-tolerance policy is central to this commitment. We do not accept any form of modern slavery within our organisation or among the third parties we work with. All managers and employees are expected to act with vigilance and to challenge any activity that appears inconsistent with ethical labour standards. Where concerns arise, we will investigate promptly and take decisive action, which may include ending a business relationship or reporting matters to the appropriate authorities.

To support this policy, Selfstorage Kentishtown applies a risk-based due diligence process when selecting and reviewing suppliers. We expect suppliers to comply with all applicable labour, wage, and workplace safety laws, and to uphold basic human rights in their own operations. Our procurement standards require suppliers to confirm that they do not use forced, bonded, or child labour, and that they maintain transparent employment practices throughout their supply chains.

Supplier monitoring is strengthened through supplier audits and ongoing checks. Depending on the level of risk, we may request documentary evidence, conduct scheduled assessments, or review corrective action plans. When a concern is identified, we seek timely remediation and reserve the right to suspend, reduce, or terminate engagement if improvements are not made. This helps us ensure that our self storage operations remain aligned with ethical sourcing principles.

Employees, contractors, and suppliers are encouraged to report any suspected instance of exploitation without fear of retaliation. We maintain clear reporting channels so that concerns can be raised through line management, senior oversight, or formal internal reporting routes. Allegations are handled confidentially where possible, and every report is assessed carefully. Any substantiated breach of this statement will be addressed through appropriate corrective, disciplinary, or legal action.

Training and awareness are important parts of our approach. Relevant staff receive guidance on identifying warning signs, understanding labour risks, and applying our internal controls consistently. We want all colleagues to recognise that modern slavery can appear in many forms, including deceptive recruitment, withheld documents, excessive control, or unfair pay. By building awareness, Selfstorage Kentishtown strengthens its ability to prevent harm before it occurs.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, current, and proportionate to the risks facing the business. During the review, we consider changes in legislation, business activity, supplier performance, and any incidents or concerns raised during the year. The outcome may include updated controls, additional training, or improved monitoring measures. Our aim is continuous improvement, not a one-time compliance exercise.

Responsibility for implementing this statement sits with senior management, supported by operational teams who help maintain day-to-day oversight. Selfstorage Kentishtown expects all employees to share responsibility for upholding ethical conduct and protecting vulnerable people from exploitation. We will continue to monitor our practices, strengthen our controls, and promote a culture in which unlawful labour practices are never ignored.

Through these commitments, Selfstorage Kentishtown reinforces its position as a business that values dignity, accountability, and transparency. We remain dedicated to maintaining ethical relationships, careful supplier management, and effective reporting processes that support the prevention of modern slavery in every part of our work.
