Modern Slavery Statement for Nunhead Storage

Nunhead Storage is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our approach to preventing modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can take many forms, including debt bondage, exploitative recruitment, and coercive working conditions. Our responsibility is to identify risk, act decisively, and ensure that our practices reflect a zero-tolerance stance toward exploitation.

Our Policy Commitment

We operate a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery in all areas of the business. This means we will not knowingly engage with any individual, contractor, or supplier who benefits from or contributes to abusive labour practices. Our internal policies require fair employment terms, lawful working hours, and the protection of workers’ rights. We expect the same standards from everyone connected to the Nunhead Storage business, and we make clear that violations may result in immediate remedial action, contract termination, or reporting to the appropriate authorities.

To support this commitment, we take a risk-based approach to supplier oversight. Before entering into new commercial relationships, we assess potential partners for indicators of modern slavery risk, including location, labour model, and sector exposure. Existing suppliers are reviewed periodically through supplier audits, document checks, and, where appropriate, site visits. These audits help us confirm compliance with legal requirements and our ethical expectations. Where concerns are identified, we require corrective action plans and monitor progress closely.

Supplier Due Diligence

Our Nunhead Storage modern slavery statement also covers the standards we expect in procurement and subcontracting. Suppliers must confirm that they prohibit forced labour, retain no worker passports or identity documents unlawfully, and provide safe and lawful working conditions. We also expect them to maintain their own oversight of sub-suppliers. If a supplier cannot demonstrate adequate controls, we may suspend business until the issue is addressed. This approach helps us protect people across the wider storage and services supply chain.

Reporting is central to our safeguarding framework. Employees, contractors, and suppliers are encouraged to raise concerns without fear of retaliation. We provide clear reporting channels for suspected modern slavery concerns, including escalation to managers, senior leadership, and designated compliance representatives. All reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled with confidentiality where possible. We also support a culture in which speaking up is seen as a duty, not a risk, when it comes to identifying abuse or unethical conduct.

Training and Awareness

Awareness is an important part of preventing exploitation. Relevant staff receive guidance on recognising warning signs, such as signs of coercion, restricted movement, unusual recruitment arrangements, or evidence of dependency on third parties. Training helps employees understand how modern slavery can appear in practical settings and how to respond appropriately. Our goal is to ensure that those involved in hiring, procurement, and supplier management are able to spot issues early and escalate them effectively.

We also recognise that modern slavery risks can change over time. Market conditions, labour shortages, and international supply pressures may increase vulnerability, so we review our risk controls regularly. This includes assessing whether our policies remain suitable, whether audit findings reveal recurring weaknesses, and whether further action is needed to strengthen oversight. Nunhead Storage therefore treats prevention as an ongoing process rather than a one-time exercise.

Our governance arrangements support accountability at a senior level. Responsibility for overseeing modern slavery controls rests with management, who review policy implementation, supplier performance, and any reported concerns. This ensures that the issue remains visible across the organisation and that decisions are made with proper attention to human rights. Where necessary, we will engage external specialists or additional verification to improve the robustness of our checks.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains current, effective, and aligned with legal obligations and business practices. The annual review considers changes in risk, lessons from audits, training outcomes, and any incidents or concerns raised during the year. Updates may result in revised procedures, stronger supplier requirements, or enhanced reporting routes. Through this process, the Nunhead Storage modern slavery statement demonstrates our continuing commitment to ethical conduct and the protection of human dignity across all operations.
