Modern Slavery Statement for Brockley Storage

Brockley Storage is committed to operating with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation within our business and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery risks can arise in many industries, including storage, logistics, maintenance, cleaning, procurement, and outsourced services. For that reason, we maintain a clear zero-tolerance policy toward any form of slavery or coercion.

Our approach begins with governance and accountability. Senior management is responsible for overseeing ethical business conduct and ensuring that anti-slavery principles are embedded in our daily operations. We expect all employees, contractors, and business partners to act lawfully, fairly, and with dignity toward others. Brockley Storage also seeks to promote a workplace culture where concerns can be raised early and addressed properly, without fear of retaliation.

We conduct risk-based due diligence to identify and manage potential exposure to brockley storage modern slavery issues across our operations. This includes reviewing supplier practices, assessing labour standards, and monitoring higher-risk categories of procurement. Where appropriate, we ask suppliers to confirm that they comply with applicable employment laws, provide safe working conditions, and use ethical recruitment practices.

Supplier oversight is a central part of our prevention strategy. We carry out supplier audits on selected vendors and service providers, focusing on labour conditions, documentation, subcontracting arrangements, and compliance controls. Audits may include policy reviews, questionnaire checks, and follow-up action plans where improvements are needed. If a supplier cannot demonstrate acceptable standards, we reserve the right to suspend or end the relationship.

To strengthen this process, new suppliers are screened before engagement, and existing suppliers may be reassessed when circumstances change. We also encourage suppliers to apply similar standards within their own supply chains. This helps us extend responsible practices beyond direct contracts and supports a broader commitment to ethical sourcing. In this way, the Brockley Storage modern slavery statement reflects practical action rather than policy alone.

Training and awareness are also important. Relevant staff receive guidance on recognising warning signs, understanding escalation procedures, and making informed procurement decisions. Our goal is to ensure that modern slavery risks are not overlooked and that everyone involved in purchasing or supplier management understands their responsibilities. These efforts support the wider objective of Brockley Storage anti-slavery compliance.

Reporting Concerns and Safeguarding People

Anyone connected to our business who suspects unethical conduct can report concerns through our internal reporting channels. Reports may be made confidentially, and all concerns are handled seriously, impartially, and promptly. We do not tolerate intimidation, victimisation, or punishment against anyone who raises a concern in good faith. Protecting whistleblowers is essential to effective modern slavery prevention.

When a concern is raised, we assess the information, investigate appropriately, and take corrective action where necessary. Responses may include supplier re-audits, contractual remedies, staff retraining, or termination of a relationship if severe breaches are identified. We aim to resolve issues in a way that protects vulnerable people and reduces the chance of recurrence. Our procedures are designed to make Brockley Storage slavery prevention practical, consistent, and accountable.

We also recognise that modern slavery can be hidden behind complex labour arrangements. Therefore, we remain alert to risks linked to excessive working hours, withheld identity documents, debt bondage, deception, and restricted freedom of movement. By maintaining vigilance and requiring ethical standards, Brockley Storage seeks to contribute to safer, fairer working conditions across its operations and supply base.

This statement is reviewed annually to reflect legal developments, operational changes, audit findings, and emerging risk areas. The annual review allows us to measure progress, strengthen controls, and update our policies where needed. It also ensures that our commitment remains current and effective rather than symbolic. As part of that review, we assess whether our due diligence, supplier audits, and training continue to address the most relevant risks.
