Modern Slavery Statement for Westbrompton Storage

Westbrompton Storage is committed to conducting business with integrity, respect, and accountability. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour, and all forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can take many forms, and we take an unambiguous stance: it has no place in our business.

As a responsible storage provider, Westbrompton Storage expects all employees, contractors, and suppliers to uphold the highest ethical standards. Our approach is guided by prevention, detection, and continuous improvement. We are committed to identifying risks early, strengthening controls, and ensuring that our practices align with applicable laws and recognised human rights principles. The Westbrompton Storage modern slavery policy applies to all business activities and is embedded in our supplier onboarding and operational procedures.

We assess risk across our business and supply chain by considering the nature of services, the location of suppliers, and the level of labour dependency involved. Where higher-risk areas are identified, we apply enhanced due diligence, including documentation checks and site-based review. This helps Westbrompton Storage maintain confidence that our suppliers operate fairly and lawfully.

Supplier oversight is a central part of this statement. Westbrompton Storage carries out supplier audits and periodic reviews to verify compliance with our ethical expectations. These audits may include examination of labour practices, wage records, working hours, worker welfare measures, and recruitment processes. If concerns are identified, we require corrective action within a defined timeframe and may suspend or end the relationship if compliance is not achieved.

We also expect suppliers to maintain effective policies and controls of their own. Our contracts include clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery laws and cooperation with investigations. Where appropriate, we may request evidence of training, subcontractor oversight, or third-party certifications. The Westbrompton Storage supply chain framework is designed to support responsible procurement and reduce the risk of exploitation.

Training plays an important role in strengthening our response. Relevant staff receive guidance on identifying warning signs, escalating concerns, and applying internal procedures. We aim to ensure that managers and procurement teams understand the meaning of modern slavery, how it can arise, and how Westbrompton Storage can intervene effectively when risks are detected.

Westbrompton Storage provides clear reporting channels so that concerns can be raised safely and in good faith. Employees and other stakeholders are encouraged to report suspected breaches, unsafe labour practices, or any indication of exploitation through internal reporting routes. Reports are handled seriously, confidentially where possible, and without retaliation against those who speak up. This commitment supports a culture of openness and responsibility.

Any report relating to Westbrompton Storage or its suppliers is reviewed promptly by the appropriate internal lead. Investigations are carried out fairly, and actions may include further enquiries, engagement with suppliers, remediation plans, or external escalation where required. We believe that an effective reporting process is essential to maintaining trust and protecting people from harm.

Our governance arrangements ensure that modern slavery risks remain a standing priority. Senior management reviews the effectiveness of our controls and receives updates on supplier performance, incidents, and corrective actions. Westbrompton Storage recognises that responsible governance requires vigilance, not assumption. We therefore continue to strengthen our oversight and improve our preventative measures.

Westbrompton Storage will conduct an annual review of this statement, along with related policies and procedures, to assess effectiveness and identify opportunities for improvement. The review will consider audit findings, reported concerns, changes in legislation, and emerging risks across the supply chain. Where necessary, we will revise our controls to ensure they remain proportionate and effective.

This statement reflects our ongoing commitment to ethical trading, lawful conduct, and respect for human rights. Westbrompton Storage will continue to work diligently to prevent modern slavery, strengthen supplier accountability, and promote a culture in which exploitation is challenged and rejected. Through consistent action, careful monitoring, and continuous review, we seek to ensure that our business remains a force for responsible practice.
