Modern Slavery Statement for Brompton Storage

Brompton Storage is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the actions we take to prevent slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can affect many industries, including warehousing, logistics, transport, cleaning, and outsourced services, and we maintain a zero-tolerance approach to any form of exploitation.

Our commitment applies to every level of the business. We expect all employees, contractors, agency workers, and partners to uphold our ethical standards and to act with honesty and accountability. Brompton Storage reviews its internal processes to reduce the risk of abuse, including recruitment practices, supplier onboarding, procurement decisions, and subcontracting arrangements. We strive to ensure that our storage services are delivered responsibly and that our business relationships reflect our values.

We also require suppliers to support our anti-slavery principles. New suppliers are assessed against risk-based criteria, including their location, labour practices, ownership structure, and use of labour brokers or temporary workers. Where appropriate, we request evidence of policies, worker welfare controls, and compliance documentation before entering into contracts. If concerns are identified, we may require corrective action, increased monitoring, or removal from our approved supplier list.

Supplier audits are an important part of our due diligence programme. Brompton Storage carries out periodic reviews of key suppliers and high-risk service providers to verify compliance with legal and ethical requirements. These audits may include document checks, interviews, site visits, and examination of wage, working time, and identity records where permitted. Any indication of forced labour, debt bondage, withheld documents, or unsafe living conditions is treated as a serious breach.

We maintain clear reporting channels so that concerns can be raised without fear of retaliation. Employees and contractors are encouraged to report suspicions of modern slavery, unethical recruitment, or unsafe working conditions through established internal procedures. Reports are handled confidentially and investigated promptly by appropriate managers or designated personnel. We do not tolerate victimisation of anyone who raises a concern in good faith, and we take swift action where allegations are substantiated.

Training and awareness are central to our prevention strategy. Relevant staff receive guidance on recognising warning signs, including restricted movement, excessive overtime, withholding of personal documents, and signs of coercion or intimidation. Managers involved in procurement and supplier management are expected to exercise additional scrutiny when engaging service providers. By strengthening awareness across the organisation, Brompton Storage aims to identify risks early and take proportionate action before harm occurs.

Governance and Responsibility

Responsibility for implementing this statement sits with senior management, who oversee risk controls and monitor progress throughout the year. Where risks are higher, we seek additional assurances from suppliers and may request evidence of worker protections, grievance mechanisms, and fair recruitment practices. Our approach is based on continuous improvement, recognising that modern slavery risks can change over time and require ongoing attention.

Annual Review

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, current, and aligned with legal obligations and business operations. During the review, we assess supplier performance, audit findings, training completion, reported concerns, and any changes in our risk profile. We update policies and procedures where needed and set priorities for the following year to strengthen our response to modern slavery risks.

Brompton Storage remains steadfast in its commitment to ethical conduct and responsible business practices. Through zero tolerance, supplier audits, clear reporting channels, and annual review, we seek to protect workers, uphold human dignity, and ensure that our storage business operates with integrity across all areas of activity.
