Modern Slavery Statement for Kingsbury Storage

Kingsbury Storage is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and all forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that storage and logistics services can involve multiple suppliers, contractors, and service partners, and we therefore maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any practice that undermines dignity, freedom, or lawful employment. Our approach is grounded in integrity, accountability, and ongoing vigilance. Modern slavery risks are reviewed as part of our wider governance framework, and all staff are expected to uphold these standards in daily decision-making.

Our zero-tolerance policy applies to every level of the business, including recruitment, procurement, site operations, and third-party relationships. We do not tolerate debt bondage, child labour, withholding of identity documents, coercion, deceptive recruitment, or any other abusive practice. Kingsbury Storage requires that employment be freely chosen, fairly paid, and compliant with applicable labour laws. We also expect our partners to maintain accurate records, respect working time rules, and ensure workers are able to raise concerns without fear of retaliation. These requirements are reinforced through internal policies, induction materials, and regular management oversight.

To support this commitment, we carry out supplier audits and risk assessments on an ongoing basis. Our supplier due diligence process considers the country of origin, type of service provided, workforce vulnerability, and the nature of the contractual relationship. Where a heightened risk is identified, we may request policy evidence, labour compliance documentation, workforce information, and corrective action plans. If concerns remain unresolved, we reserve the right to suspend or end the relationship. Kingsbury Storage aims to work only with suppliers who demonstrate ethical labour practices and a willingness to improve where gaps are identified.

Training and awareness are central to effective prevention. Relevant employees, particularly those involved in procurement, operations, and contractor management, receive guidance on identifying indicators of exploitation and responding appropriately. We encourage a culture in which people understand that safeguarding workers is a shared responsibility. This includes awareness of recruitment fees, passport retention, restricted movement, and signs that a worker may be unable to speak freely. By promoting informed oversight, Kingsbury Storage strengthens its ability to detect and address risks early.

Kingsbury Storage has established multiple reporting channels so that employees, contractors, and other stakeholders can raise concerns safely and confidentially. Reports may be made through line management, senior leadership, or designated internal escalation routes. Concerns are treated seriously, documented promptly, and investigated without delay. Confidentiality is maintained as far as possible, and retaliation against anyone who raises a good-faith concern is prohibited. Where a concern involves potential criminal conduct or immediate harm, we will act swiftly and may involve the relevant authorities. Our objective is to ensure that issues are addressed transparently and effectively.

We also recognise that prevention does not end with policy setting. Kingsbury Storage monitors compliance through management reviews, contract checks, and follow-up actions where gaps are found. Suppliers may be asked to improve their controls, provide further evidence of compliance, or participate in corrective measures. These actions are part of a broader commitment to responsible sourcing and continuous improvement. We believe that robust oversight of modern slavery risks helps protect workers, preserves trust, and supports resilient business relationships.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure that it remains relevant, effective, and aligned with legal obligations and operational realities. The annual review examines any changes in business activity, procurement patterns, supplier risk, and incident reporting. It also considers the outcome of audits, investigations, and training activity so that lessons learned can be incorporated into future controls. If new risks emerge, we will update our processes and strengthen our safeguards accordingly.

Through this ongoing commitment, Kingsbury Storage seeks to prevent exploitation, uphold human rights, and maintain a supply chain built on fairness and respect. Our stance is clear: there is no place for modern slavery in our business or in the relationships that support it. We will continue to assess, monitor, and improve our practices so that our standards remain practical, meaningful, and effective. In doing so, we reaffirm our dedication to ethical conduct, responsible management, and the protection of every individual whose work contributes to our operations.
