Modern Slavery Statement for Kensalgreen Storage

Kensalgreen Storage is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps Kensalgreen Storage takes to help prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitative working practices within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can occur in many forms and in many sectors, and we maintain a zero-tolerance approach to any practice that undermines the dignity, freedom, or safety of individuals.

Our Commitment and Responsibility

As a storage provider, Kensalgreen Storage understands that ethical conduct must extend beyond our own workplace. We expect our employees, contractors, and business partners to act lawfully and responsibly at all times. Our internal policies are designed to promote fair treatment, safe working conditions, and equal opportunity. In this statement, references to modern slavery include slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, and human trafficking. We seek to ensure that our business practices reflect these principles through training, oversight, and regular review.

Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

A key part of our approach is supplier due diligence. Kensalgreen Storage reviews new and existing suppliers to assess modern slavery risks before entering or renewing business relationships. Where appropriate, we request information on labour standards, recruitment practices, and worker protections. Our supplier audits may include document checks, site reviews, and verification of employment practices when risks warrant closer scrutiny. If a supplier is found to be non-compliant or unwilling to improve, we reserve the right to pause or end the relationship. This process supports accountability throughout the supply chain and helps us identify concerns early.

Training, Awareness, and Workplace Standards

We believe prevention depends on awareness. Staff involved in procurement, operations, and management receive guidance on recognising indicators of exploitation, such as restricted movement, withheld wages, or unusual control over workers. Our internal standards encourage respectful conduct, clear record-keeping, and prompt escalation of concerns. We also expect our suppliers to uphold the same expectations and to ensure that workers are treated fairly, paid lawfully, and employed voluntarily. By embedding these standards into day-to-day decision-making, Kensalgreen Storage strengthens its ability to prevent abuse.

Reporting Channels and Safeguards

We provide multiple reporting channels so that concerns can be raised safely and in good faith. Employees and business partners are encouraged to report suspected modern slavery, poor labour conditions, or unethical conduct through internal management routes and formal incident reporting processes. Reports are handled with discretion, and concerns are investigated promptly. We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a concern or assists with an investigation. This protection is essential to ensuring that individuals feel confident speaking up when something appears wrong. Kensalgreen Storage treats every report seriously and acts proportionately based on the findings.

Monitoring, Continuous Improvement, and Review

We recognise that risks can change over time as our business develops and supply chains evolve. For that reason, our controls are monitored regularly and improved where necessary. Findings from supplier audits, internal checks, and incident reports are reviewed to identify trends and strengthen prevention measures. We may update procurement requirements, refine training, or increase supplier scrutiny in response to emerging risks. This practical approach supports steady improvement and demonstrates our commitment to responsible business conduct.

Annual Review and Approval

This statement is reviewed annually to confirm its continued effectiveness and relevance. The review considers changes in legislation, operational activity, supplier risk, and any issues identified during the year. Where necessary, we revise policies and controls to better address modern slavery risks. The annual review also ensures that Kensalgreen Storage remains accountable for upholding ethical standards across the business.

Our Ongoing Position

Kensalgreen Storage remains resolute in its opposition to modern slavery in all forms. Through a clear zero-tolerance policy, structured supplier audits, accessible reporting channels, and an annual review process, we aim to protect human rights and maintain responsible operations. This statement reflects our continuing commitment to vigilance, integrity, and ethical responsibility across Kensalgreen Storage and its supply chain.
