Modern Slavery Statement for Highamspark Storage

Highamspark 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 maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of abuse, coercion, or unlawful labour practice.

Our Commitment

As a responsible storage provider, Highamspark Storage recognises that modern slavery can exist in many forms and in many industries. We understand that prevention requires vigilance, clear expectations, and active oversight. Our approach is guided by ethical business conduct, risk awareness, and continuous improvement. We expect everyone working with or for us to act in accordance with our standards and to support our commitment to lawful and humane working conditions.

Policies and Standards

Our internal policies reflect a firm stance against exploitation. These include employment practices that require voluntary work, fair treatment, and compliance with labour laws. We do not tolerate the use of child labour, bonded labour, withheld identity documents, or intimidation of workers. Highamspark Storage requires managers and employees to remain alert to indicators of abuse, especially where labour is outsourced or where workers may be vulnerable.

We also expect suppliers, contractors, and service providers to uphold the same standards. Any relationship that is found to involve or conceal modern slavery concerns may be reviewed, paused, or ended. This position is supported by contract clauses, onboarding checks, and a commitment to ethical procurement. In practice, our Highamspark storage modern slavery controls help us make responsible decisions across the business.

Supplier oversight is a key part of our prevention strategy. We carry out proportionate supplier audits and reviews based on risk, location, and service type. These audits may include document checks, verification of labour arrangements, and confirmation that workers are treated lawfully and fairly. Where concerns are identified, we request corrective action and monitor progress closely. If improvements are not made, the supplier relationship may be reconsidered.

Our due diligence process is designed to identify warning signs early. For higher-risk categories, we may seek additional assurances regarding recruitment practices, subcontracting, wage handling, and worker welfare. This helps us strengthen the resilience of the Highamspark Storage modern slavery statement framework and supports responsible supply chain management.

Everyone connected with our business has a role in maintaining ethical standards. We provide internal guidance so that employees understand how to recognise suspicious indicators and how to escalate concerns promptly. We encourage openness and accountability, and we do not permit retaliation against anyone who raises a genuine concern in good faith.

We have established clear reporting channels for concerns relating to modern slavery, unsafe practices, or unethical supplier behaviour. Reports can be made through management, designated internal procedures, or confidential escalation routes. All concerns are handled seriously, assessed promptly, and investigated in line with our internal processes. If necessary, appropriate action is taken to protect affected individuals and reduce risk.

This statement is reviewed on an annual review basis to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with current legislation and business activity. Each year, we assess our risk exposure, the effectiveness of our controls, and any lessons learned from audits or investigations. The review helps us refine the Highamspark Storage modern slavery policy and reinforce our zero-tolerance approach over time.
