Modern Slavery Statement of Self Storage Holland Park
This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the actions and commitments of Self Storage Holland Park to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to conduct business ethically, transparently, and with respect for human rights, and we are committed to continual improvement in this area.
Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy
Self Storage Holland Park has a clear and unequivocal zero-tolerance stance on all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, servitude, child labour, and human trafficking. We will not knowingly engage with any individual, contractor, or organisation involved in such practices. This commitment applies to our own operations, our workforce, and every level of our supply chain.
We expect all employees, contractors, and suppliers to act with integrity and to support our efforts to identify and eliminate any risk of modern slavery. Any breach of this policy may result in the termination of contracts, cessation of business relationships, and, where appropriate, reporting to relevant authorities.
Our Business and Supply Chains
Self Storage Holland Park provides self storage services to individuals and businesses. Our main activities include the operation and management of storage facilities, premises maintenance, and associated administrative and customer support services. Our supply chains include, among others, providers of construction and maintenance services, security systems, cleaning services, utilities, office equipment, and other professional and support services.
We recognise that risks of modern slavery can be present at various tiers of the supply chain, particularly where goods or services originate from higher-risk sectors or jurisdictions. We are committed to identifying these risks and working proactively with suppliers to ensure robust protections are in place.
Supplier Standards and Audits
We require our key suppliers and contractors to adhere to standards that are consistent with our zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery. As part of our supplier onboarding and ongoing due diligence, we seek confirmation that suppliers comply with all applicable labour, employment, and human rights laws.
Where appropriate and proportionate to the nature of the goods or services provided, we conduct or commission supplier audits and assessments. These may include reviewing policies and procedures, requesting written confirmations and declarations, and, where feasible, onsite visits. Non-compliance with our standards or refusal to cooperate with reasonable audit requests may result in corrective action plans or the termination of the business relationship.
Training, Awareness, and Responsibility
Responsibility for overseeing our modern slavery commitments sits with the senior management of Self Storage Holland Park. They are accountable for ensuring that effective policies, procedures, and controls are in place, and that these are regularly reviewed and updated.
We provide targeted awareness for relevant employees so that they can recognise potential indicators of modern slavery and understand how to act on any concerns. This includes individuals involved in procurement, facilities management, and contractor engagement. We encourage a culture where ethical concerns can be raised confidently and without fear of retaliation.
Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing
Self Storage Holland Park encourages all employees, contractors, customers, and other stakeholders to report any suspicions or concerns related to modern slavery or human trafficking. Concerns can be raised verbally or in writing to line managers or senior management within the business.
Reports will be treated seriously, handled sensitively, and investigated promptly and fairly. We do not tolerate victimisation or retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith, even if it is not ultimately substantiated. Where it is appropriate to do so, we will refer matters to law enforcement or other relevant authorities.
Continuous Improvement and Annual Review
We understand that addressing the risk of modern slavery is an ongoing process. Self Storage Holland Park is committed to continuous improvement in our approach, including refining our risk assessments, updating our supplier due diligence, and strengthening internal controls and awareness.
This Modern Slavery Statement will be reviewed at least annually by senior management to ensure it remains current, effective, and aligned with legal requirements and best practice. Where necessary, we will update the statement and our internal procedures to reflect changes in our business, the regulatory environment, or identified risks. The most recent approved version of this statement will be made available to staff, suppliers, and customers.
This statement has been approved by the management of Self Storage Holland Park, who are responsible for its implementation and for ensuring that its principles are embedded throughout our operations.
