Modern Slavery Statement for Harringay Storage
Harringay Storage is committed to operating with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights across every part of our business. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking from occurring in our operations and supply chains. Our zero-tolerance policy applies to all employees, contractors, partners, and suppliers, and it is embedded in our wider approach to ethical business practice.
We recognise that modern slavery can take many forms and may be hidden within complex supply chains. For that reason, Harringay Storage conducts risk-based due diligence when selecting and reviewing suppliers, especially where goods, services, or outsourced activities involve higher-risk sectors. We expect all business partners to share our commitment to lawful and responsible conduct.
Our internal policies require staff to remain alert to indicators of exploitation, including restricted movement, withheld wages, excessive working hours, identity document retention, or any sign that a worker is being controlled or coerced. Training is provided so that our team understands how to identify concerns and act appropriately.
This approach supports a consistent culture of vigilance throughout Harringay Storage and helps reinforce our anti-slavery commitments.
Supplier management is a key part of our prevention strategy. We carry out supplier audits and reviews on a scheduled and risk-based basis to assess compliance with our standards, including labour practices, recruitment methods, and record keeping. Where concerns are identified, we request corrective action and monitor progress. If a supplier fails to meet our expectations, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate the relationship.
In addition to audits, we include contractual obligations that require suppliers to confirm compliance with anti-slavery laws and ethical employment standards. We also encourage transparency in subcontracting and expect suppliers to cascade similar expectations through their own supply chains. The purpose of these controls is to reduce risk, improve accountability, and ensure that our purchasing decisions support responsible business conduct.
Harringay Storage understands that prevention is most effective when employees can raise concerns safely. We provide clear reporting channels so that concerns related to modern slavery or unethical labour practices can be reported without fear of retaliation. Reports may be made through management, designated internal compliance routes, or any appropriate escalation path established within the business. All concerns are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled with sensitivity and discretion.
Where a concern is raised, we record the issue, assess the risk, and take proportionate action. This may include additional checks, supplier engagement, remedial measures, or referral to the appropriate external authorities where necessary. We also promote a working environment in which Harringay Storage staff understand that speaking up is a responsibility, not a risk.
Our zero-tolerance policy means that any proven involvement in slavery, forced labour, or trafficking will be addressed firmly. This includes taking disciplinary action internally where relevant and ending commercial relationships where ethical standards are breached. We believe that maintaining trust requires clear rules, consistent enforcement, and visible accountability throughout the organisation.
To ensure this statement remains effective, Harringay Storage carries out an annual review of its modern slavery controls, policies, and supplier oversight processes. This review considers emerging risks, audit findings, staff training outcomes, and any incidents or concerns reported during the year. The findings are used to strengthen procedures and refine our prevention measures for the next reporting period. We are committed to continuous improvement and to keeping our approach practical, informed, and proportionate.
As part of our ongoing commitment, Harringay Storage will continue to promote ethical conduct, responsible procurement, and effective oversight across its operations. We expect everyone who works with us to share our zero-tolerance stance on modern slavery and to support efforts that protect vulnerable people from exploitation. This statement reflects our current position and our determination to uphold human dignity in every business relationship.
