Modern Slavery Statement for Millwall Storage
Millwall Storage is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can take many forms, including coercion, deception, debt bondage, and the withholding of identity documents, and we do not tolerate any such practice in any part of our business.
Our zero-tolerance policy applies to all employees, contractors, temporary workers, and suppliers. We expect the same high standards from every organisation that supports our activities. As a storage business, we may rely on third parties for facilities management, cleaning, maintenance, security, transport, equipment, and other services. We require all partners to comply with applicable labour laws, treat workers fairly, and operate without exploitation. Any breach of these expectations may result in corrective action, contract review, or termination of the relationship.
We are committed to building a culture where ethical conduct is understood and upheld. Training, oversight, and clear accountability help ensure that modern slavery risks are identified early and addressed decisively. This statement reflects our ongoing responsibility to review our practices and strengthen our controls across the Millwall Storage modern slavery framework.
Risk Assessment and Supplier Audits
We recognise that supply chains can be complex, and risk may vary by sector, geography, and service type. To manage these risks, Millwall Storage undertakes proportionate due diligence when engaging new suppliers and reviews existing relationships on a regular basis. Our assessment considers the nature of the service, the location of operations, labour arrangements, and any indicators of vulnerability in the workforce.
Supplier oversight is strengthened through supplier audits, questionnaire reviews, and document checks where appropriate. These measures may include examining labour policies, right-to-work controls, wage practices, recruitment standards, and subcontracting arrangements. If a concern is identified, we seek evidence of remediation and improvement. Where a supplier is unable or unwilling to meet our standards, we may suspend engagement or end the arrangement. This approach supports a responsible and resilient modern slavery statement for Millwall Storage.
We also encourage open communication with suppliers so that expectations are clear from the outset. By setting out requirements in procurement and contract discussions, we reduce the likelihood of hidden labour abuses and reinforce ethical business conduct throughout the Millwall Storage supply chain.
Reporting Channels and Safeguards
Everyone working with or for Millwall Storage has a responsibility to speak up if they suspect exploitation, unsafe labour practices, or any form of modern slavery. Concerns may be raised through internal management channels, line supervision, or formal reporting procedures. Reports are handled seriously and investigated promptly, with appropriate confidentiality maintained wherever possible.
We aim to create an environment where individuals can report concerns without fear of retaliation. Millwall Storage modern slavery reporting arrangements are designed to support early intervention and protect those who raise issues in good faith. Allegations are assessed objectively, and where necessary we work with relevant stakeholders to review evidence, strengthen controls, and prevent recurrence.
We also expect managers to remain alert to warning signs such as restricted freedom of movement, poor accommodation conditions, unexplained deductions from pay, intimidation, or workers being controlled by others. Awareness of these indicators helps us respond quickly and uphold our commitment to ethical operations across the business.
Governance, Monitoring, and Annual Review
Responsibility for this statement rests with senior leadership, who oversee actions taken to prevent and detect modern slavery risks. Millwall Storage monitors policy implementation through periodic reviews of procurement, supplier performance, and internal practices. Where needed, corrective action plans are developed to address gaps and improve compliance.
This statement will be reviewed annually to confirm its continued suitability and to reflect changes in our operations, legal obligations, or risk profile. The annual review includes considering audit findings, supplier performance, staff awareness, and any reported concerns. Lessons learned are used to strengthen controls and update our approach to Millwall Storage anti-slavery commitments.
Millwall Storage remains steadfast in its determination to operate responsibly and ethically. Through a strict zero-tolerance policy, robust supplier audits, effective reporting channels, and an annual review process, we continue to reduce the risk of modern slavery and support fair treatment for all people connected to our business.
