Modern Slavery Statement for Selhurst Storage

Selhurst Storage is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. As a responsible storage provider, we recognise that ethical conduct must be embedded across every level of the organisation. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery and expect the same standard from all employees, contractors, and business partners.

Our commitment applies to all areas of the business, including procurement, facilities management, logistics, and outsourced services. Selhurst Storage understands that risks can exist in many sectors, particularly where labour is supplied through agencies, subcontractors, or complex sourcing arrangements. For that reason, we apply due diligence measures that are proportionate to risk and regularly reviewed. The Selhurst Storage modern slavery approach is designed to identify concerns early and support corrective action where needed.

We require all staff to follow our internal policies on ethical conduct, safeguarding, and responsible procurement. Training and awareness support our efforts to recognise warning signs such as withholding of identity documents, restricted movement, excessive working hours, or coercion. Any breach of our zero-tolerance position is treated seriously and may result in disciplinary action, contract termination, or referral to the appropriate authorities.

Supplier management is a key part of our strategy. Before entering into new arrangements, we assess suppliers based on the nature of their services, geographic location, labour model, and historical risk factors. We include contractual expectations requiring compliance with all applicable anti-slavery laws and ethical labour standards. Where a relationship is considered higher risk, we may request further assurances, evidence of employment practices, or improvements to policy controls. In this way, Selhurst Storage strengthens resilience across the supply chain while reducing exposure to exploitation.

We also carry out supplier audits to monitor adherence to our standards. These audits may involve document reviews, site visits, management interviews, and checks on worker welfare procedures. Findings are recorded and tracked, with corrective actions agreed where improvements are necessary. Where a supplier fails to meet our expectations or refuses to cooperate, we reserve the right to suspend or end the relationship. This process helps ensure our modern slavery statement is supported by practical action rather than words alone.

Selhurst Storage encourages a culture in which concerns can be raised safely and in confidence. Employees, contractors, and suppliers are expected to report any suspicion of modern slavery or unethical conduct without delay. Our reporting channels include internal management routes, designated safeguarding leads, and confidential escalation procedures. Reports are handled sensitively and investigated promptly, with appropriate protection for individuals who raise concerns in good faith. Retaliation against whistleblowers is not tolerated.

We recognise that modern slavery risks can change over time as the business grows, services evolve, and supply chains develop. For that reason, our governance framework requires an annual review of this statement and the measures that support it. Each review considers training completion, audit results, supplier performance, incident trends, and any legal or regulatory developments. Actions identified through the review are assigned, monitored, and embedded into future planning.

This review process ensures continuous improvement and keeps the Selhurst Storage modern slavery statement relevant, effective, and aligned with best practice. Senior management oversees implementation and is responsible for maintaining accountability across the organisation. We aim not only to comply with legal obligations but also to promote dignity, fairness, and respect in every business relationship.

Selhurst Storage will continue to strengthen its policies, supplier controls, and staff awareness to help prevent modern slavery in all forms. Through our zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, reporting channels, and annual review, we are committed to acting responsibly and ethically. This statement reflects our ongoing determination to support safe working conditions and uphold human rights throughout our operations and supply chains.
