Modern Slavery Statement for Bromley Storage

Bromley 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 slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can take many forms and may exist in hidden ways, which is why our approach is based on vigilance, accountability, and continuous improvement.

Our zero-tolerance policy applies to every part of our business. We do not accept any form of exploitation, coercion, debt bondage, child labour, or other abusive working practices. This policy is embedded in our values and supported by internal controls designed to identify risks early. All staff are expected to act with integrity and to uphold our anti-slavery commitments in every decision they make.

We assess our exposure to risk by reviewing the nature of the services and goods we procure, the locations from which suppliers operate, and the degree of labour intensity involved. Where higher-risk categories are identified, we apply enhanced scrutiny and request further evidence of safe, lawful employment practices. Bromley Storage uses proportionate checks to help ensure that our supply chain remains transparent, ethical, and compliant with applicable law.

Supplier due diligence is a key part of our modern slavery controls. Before engaging new suppliers, we seek assurances regarding labour standards, recruitment practices, and subcontracting arrangements. We expect suppliers to maintain the same high standards we require of ourselves. If concerns arise, we may request policy documents, worker-rights confirmations, or additional declarations to better understand the supplier’s labour practices.

Supplier audits are conducted where appropriate to test compliance and to verify that commitments are being met in practice. These audits may include document reviews, process checks, and follow-up questions relating to employment terms, pay practices, right-to-work verification, and worker welfare. Where a supplier is found to fall short of our expectations, we will work with them to correct the issue within a defined timeframe, or we may end the relationship if serious concerns remain unresolved.

Training is provided to relevant employees so they can recognise the warning signs of exploitation and understand how to escalate concerns. We encourage a culture in which people feel confident to raise issues without fear of retaliation. Awareness is essential to our Bromley Storage modern slavery statement because it helps ensure that ethical responsibilities are understood at every level of the business.

Bromley Storage provides multiple reporting channels for concerns linked to slavery or labour exploitation. Employees, contractors, and suppliers may raise issues through internal management routes or established whistleblowing procedures. Reports are handled sensitively, and disclosures may be made anonymously where permitted. Any allegation is taken seriously, investigated promptly, and reviewed by appropriate decision-makers.

We are committed to protecting individuals who raise concerns in good faith. No person should experience discrimination, disadvantage, or intimidation for speaking up about potential abuse. Where a report indicates possible modern slavery, we will act swiftly to safeguard affected individuals, preserve relevant information, and cooperate with relevant authorities where necessary. This reflects our broader responsibility to promote lawful and humane working conditions.

Our governance arrangements support oversight of anti-slavery actions, including supplier monitoring, policy updates, and incident review. Senior management is responsible for ensuring that the company’s zero-tolerance policy is implemented effectively and that risks are addressed in a timely way. We document concerns, remedial actions, and outcomes so that our approach remains traceable and accountable.

We carry out an annual review of this statement and of the measures supporting it. The review considers any reported incidents, supplier audit results, changes in legal requirements, and emerging risks across our operations and procurement activities. This process helps us refine our controls and strengthen the effectiveness of our response over time.

As part of the review, we evaluate whether additional training, supplier engagement, or enhanced due diligence is required. We also consider whether new business relationships or operational changes introduce different exposure to modern slavery risks. By reassessing our practices each year, Bromley Storage aims to ensure that our commitment remains active, credible, and proportionate.

Bromley Storage reaffirms its determination to prevent modern slavery in all forms. Through strong policies, careful supplier audits, accessible reporting channels, and an annual review process, we seek to uphold dignity, fairness, and compliance throughout our organisation and supply chain. This statement represents our ongoing promise to act responsibly and to challenge exploitation wherever it may arise.
