Modern Slavery Statement for Shoreditch Storage

At Shoreditch Storage, we are committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour within our operations and supply chain. We recognise that any form of exploitation is unacceptable, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward practices that undermine dignity and freedom.

Our approach is grounded in responsibility across all areas of the business. We expect employees, contractors, and suppliers to uphold the same standards. Through clear policies, due diligence, and ongoing oversight, Shoreditch Storage works to identify and reduce risks associated with labour exploitation. We believe that a strong ethical culture is essential to preventing abuse and ensuring that storage services are delivered responsibly.

As part of our commitment, we carry out risk-based checks on partners and suppliers before entering into agreements. This includes reviewing labour practices, business ownership, and compliance with relevant legal and ethical expectations. Where concerns are identified, we seek clarification, request corrective action, or end the relationship if necessary. Our supplier management process is designed to support Shoreditch Storage’s standards for fair and lawful business conduct.

We also require suppliers to demonstrate that they have their own controls in place to prevent modern slavery in their operations and subcontracting chains. Where appropriate, we conduct supplier audits or request evidence of workforce policies, recruitment procedures, and working conditions. These assessments help us monitor compliance and strengthen accountability across the wider supply chain. Audit findings are reviewed carefully, and any identified issues are addressed promptly.

Employees play a vital role in identifying and preventing exploitation. Shoreditch Storage provides internal training and guidance so staff can recognise warning signs such as restricted movement, debt bondage, withheld wages, or signs of coercion. We encourage a culture of vigilance and responsibility, where concerns are taken seriously and acted upon. By embedding awareness throughout the organisation, we improve our ability to respond effectively to potential risks.

We maintain confidential reporting channels so that employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders can raise concerns about suspected modern slavery or unethical conduct. Reports are reviewed promptly and, where required, escalated for investigation. Retaliation is not tolerated against anyone who raises a concern in good faith. This open reporting framework supports transparency and ensures that potential abuses can be addressed without delay.

Our commitment to ethical sourcing extends to all levels of procurement and service delivery. We work to ensure that decisions are not based solely on cost or speed, but also on the integrity of labour practices and the welfare of workers. In this way, Shoreditch Storage seeks to contribute to a broader effort to eliminate exploitation from commercial supply chains. We believe responsible business is measured not only by performance, but by how people are treated.

To keep this statement effective, we conduct an annual review of our policies, procedures, and supplier oversight measures. This review considers changes in legislation, operational risks, audit outcomes, and any reported concerns. Findings are used to improve our controls and strengthen our response to modern slavery risks. The review process ensures that our statement remains current, practical, and aligned with our values.

Shoreditch Storage remains steadfast in its commitment to preventing modern slavery in all forms. We will continue to refine our due diligence, strengthen supplier accountability, and support a workplace where ethical conduct is expected and enforced. By maintaining a zero-tolerance stance, active monitoring, and clear channels for reporting, we aim to uphold the highest standards of responsibility across our business and supply chain.
