Modern Slavery Statement for Storage Cann Hall
Storage Cann Hall is committed to conducting all aspects of its business ethically, responsibly, and in full compliance with applicable laws. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation in our operations and supply chains. It applies to all staff, contractors, and suppliers engaged by Storage Cann Hall.
Our Zero-Tolerance Approach
We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. Any form of forced, bonded, or involuntary labour is strictly prohibited within our business and among those who supply goods or services to us. We will not knowingly work with any organisation that violates human rights or fails to uphold basic labour standards.
All staff are expected to act with integrity and to uphold this policy. Breaches of our zero-tolerance approach may result in disciplinary action, including termination of employment or contracts, and may be reported to relevant authorities where appropriate.
Our Business and Supply Chains
Storage Cann Hall provides storage-related services and associated support activities. Our supply chains include providers of building maintenance, security, cleaning, equipment, utilities, and professional services. We recognise that modern slavery risks can exist at various levels of the supply chain, particularly where there is reliance on temporary, migrant, or low-paid labour.
We aim to work with suppliers that share our commitment to ethical conduct and responsible business practices. We seek transparency from suppliers about their own operations and supply chains and encourage continuous improvement in labour standards and working conditions.
Supplier Standards and Audits
We expect all suppliers, contractors, and service providers to comply with applicable labour, employment, and human rights laws and to adopt standards that are consistent with our own. As part of our onboarding and ongoing supplier management, we may request information about their policies, due diligence processes, and workforce conditions.
Where we identify higher-risk activities or geographies, we may conduct targeted supplier audits or require additional assurances. These audits can include review of employment practices, use of recruitment agencies, working hours, wage records, and evidence of workers’ freedom of movement. If a supplier is unable or unwilling to meet our expectations, we will take appropriate action, which may include remediation requirements, enhanced monitoring, or termination of the relationship.
Reporting Concerns and Whistleblowing
We encourage all employees, contractors, and business partners to raise any concerns about potential modern slavery or human trafficking within our operations or supply chains. Concerns may relate to suspicious employment practices, restrictions on workers’ freedom of movement, retention of identity documents, or any other indicators of exploitation.
Reports can be made through established internal reporting channels or to management. Individuals are encouraged to provide as much detail as possible so that concerns can be properly investigated. We are committed to treating all reports seriously, investigating them promptly, and taking appropriate remedial action where issues are identified. We will not tolerate victimisation of any person who raises a concern in good faith.
Training and Awareness
We are working to build awareness of modern slavery risks across our business. Relevant staff receive guidance on recognising the signs of exploitation, understanding our zero-tolerance approach, and following the correct procedures for reporting concerns. We periodically review training needs to ensure that our people remain informed about evolving risks and best practices.
Monitoring, Governance, and Annual Review
Responsibility for overseeing our approach to modern slavery sits with the senior management of Storage Cann Hall. They are accountable for ensuring that appropriate policies, controls, and due diligence processes are in place and that these are effectively implemented across the business.
We monitor the effectiveness of our actions through supplier reviews, incident reporting, and feedback from staff and stakeholders. Where we identify gaps or opportunities for improvement, we update our procedures and training accordingly. This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains current, reflects our evolving risk profile, and captures any enhancements to our approach.
This statement reflects Storage Cann Hall’s ongoing commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking and to promoting fair, safe, and respectful working conditions throughout our operations and supply chains.
