Modern Slavery Statement for Tufnellpark Storage

Tufnellpark Storage is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the practical steps taken to prevent slavery, forced labour, servitude, and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. Our approach is grounded in a zero-tolerance policy, meaning we do not accept any form of exploitation in our workplace or among those who provide goods and services on our behalf.

As a responsible storage provider, Tufnellpark Storage recognises that modern slavery can occur in many industries and through complex supplier networks. We therefore maintain clear internal standards, train relevant staff to identify warning signs, and apply proportionate controls to reduce risk. This statement applies to all areas of the business, including procurement, facilities management, contractors, and third-party service relationships.

Our commitment is reinforced by governance measures designed to ensure that anti-slavery principles remain central to decision-making. Senior management reviews these obligations regularly, and expectations are communicated to employees and suppliers through written policies and contractual requirements. Any breach of our standards may result in corrective action, contract suspension, or termination, depending on the severity of the issue.

We apply due diligence when selecting and retaining suppliers, with a focus on ethical conduct and lawful employment practices. Supplier audits are conducted using a risk-based approach, which may include document checks, site visits, worker welfare assessments, and reviews of subcontracting arrangements. Where higher risks are identified, additional scrutiny is applied to ensure that the supplier can demonstrate compliance with our values and legal obligations.

The modern slavery controls used by Tufnellpark Storage also include supplier onboarding checks, periodic re-assessment, and contractual clauses requiring cooperation with audits and investigations. We expect suppliers to maintain accurate records, provide truthful information, and implement their own anti-slavery controls. If concerns arise, we investigate promptly and seek evidence of remediation. Persistent non-compliance is not accepted.

Reporting channels are essential to the effectiveness of our statement. Employees, contractors, and other business partners are encouraged to raise concerns if they suspect exploitation, unsafe recruitment practices, debt bondage, document retention, or any other indicator of modern slavery. Reports may be made through internal management routes, designated compliance processes, or confidential escalation mechanisms established by the business. All concerns are handled sensitively and without retaliation.

We are committed to protecting those who speak up in good faith. Whistleblowing concerns are reviewed promptly, and confidentiality is maintained wherever possible. The business seeks to ensure that any individual raising an issue is treated fairly and that no person suffers detriment for reporting suspected wrongdoing. In addition, staff receive guidance on recognising risks so that potential concerns can be identified early and escalated appropriately.

Annual review is a key part of our continuous improvement process. This statement is reviewed at least once every year to assess the effectiveness of our controls, consider emerging risks, and identify opportunities to strengthen our response. The review covers policy updates, supplier performance, audit outcomes, training needs, and any incidents or concerns raised during the year. Changes may be made where necessary to reflect best practice and evolving legal expectations.

Tufnellpark Storage understands that tackling modern slavery requires ongoing vigilance, responsible sourcing, and active collaboration across the business. Our stance is clear: exploitation has no place in our operations or supply chain. By combining prevention, detection, and remediation measures, we aim to uphold ethical standards and contribute to wider efforts to eliminate abuse from commercial activity.

Commitments and Responsibilities

To support this statement, relevant teams are expected to follow procurement controls, keep records of supplier due diligence, and act quickly on any concerns. The business encourages a culture of accountability, informed by training, monitoring, and leadership oversight. Through these measures, Tufnellpark Storage continues to strengthen its modern slavery policy framework and promote responsible business conduct.

Ongoing Improvement

We will continue to refine our processes, enhance supplier scrutiny, and update our internal awareness measures as needed. This statement reflects our continuing commitment to ethical operations, lawful employment, and the protection of human dignity across every part of the organisation.
