Modern Slavery Statement for Storage Pimlico
This Modern Slavery Statement is made on behalf of Storage Pimlico and sets out the steps we are taking to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. Storage Pimlico is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency and respect for human rights. We recognise our responsibility to identify, prevent and address any risk of modern slavery related to our activities.
Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy
Storage Pimlico has a clear zero-tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, bonded labour, child labour, servitude and human trafficking. We will not knowingly engage with any organisation that is involved in, or benefits from, modern slavery. This commitment applies to our own business and to all suppliers, contractors and service providers who work with us.
All employees are expected to act ethically, comply with relevant legislation and uphold our values. Breaches of this policy may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment or contract, as appropriate.
Our Operations and Supply Chain
Storage Pimlico provides storage and related services. Our supply chain includes property and facilities management, security and cleaning services, technology providers, equipment and maintenance suppliers, and professional advisers. While the majority of our suppliers operate in low-risk sectors and jurisdictions, we recognise that no supply chain is entirely free from risk. We are therefore committed to ongoing due diligence and continuous improvement.
Supplier Due Diligence and Audits
We expect our suppliers to share our commitment to preventing modern slavery. As part of our supplier onboarding and management process, we undertake proportionate due diligence, which may include assessing policies, reviewing ethical standards and understanding labour practices. Where we identify higher-risk categories or regions, we may apply enhanced checks.
We reserve the right to conduct audits of suppliers, either directly or through an independent third party. These audits may include review of employment records, worker conditions and compliance documentation, as well as discussions with management. Where non-compliance or areas of concern are identified, we will work with suppliers to implement corrective actions within a reasonable timeframe. If serious or persistent breaches occur, we may suspend or terminate the relationship.
Reporting Concerns and Whistleblowing
Storage Pimlico encourages all employees, contractors, suppliers and other stakeholders to report any concerns or suspicions of modern slavery in our business or supply chain. Reports can be made through established internal reporting channels or directly to senior management. Concerns will be treated seriously, handled sensitively and, where possible, confidentially.
We do not tolerate victimisation or retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith. All reports will be investigated, and appropriate action will be taken where issues are identified, which may include engaging with suppliers, notifying relevant authorities, or updating our internal controls.
Training, Awareness and Responsibilities
We are working to increase awareness of modern slavery risks within our business. Relevant employees, particularly those involved in procurement, facilities management and supplier relationships, are informed about indicators of modern slavery and our reporting expectations. Responsibilities for overseeing our modern slavery approach sit with senior management, who are accountable for ensuring this statement is implemented in practice.
Monitoring, Annual Review and Continuous Improvement
Storage Pimlico is committed to regularly reviewing and improving our approach to managing modern slavery risks. We monitor the effectiveness of our measures through ongoing supplier engagement, internal reviews and consideration of emerging best practice and legal developments. This Modern Slavery Statement will be reviewed, updated and approved by senior management on an annual basis, or more frequently where necessary.
By publishing this statement, Storage Pimlico reaffirms its commitment to combating modern slavery and human trafficking and to promoting safe, fair and respectful working conditions across our operations and supply chains.
