Modern Slavery Statement for Perivale Storage

Perivale Storage is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and 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 occur in many forms and in many sectors, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any practice that exploits individuals or undermines their freedom and dignity.

As a storage business, Perivale Storage relies on a range of suppliers, contractors, and service providers. We expect every partner to uphold the same ethical standards we apply internally. Our approach to Perivale Storage modern slavery compliance is grounded in risk awareness, responsible procurement, and active oversight. We do not accept any arrangement that may involve coercion, withheld wages, excessive working hours, document retention, or any other abuse of workers’ rights.

To support this commitment, we assess supplier relationships before and during engagement. This includes reviewing the nature of the goods or services provided, the location of operations, and the potential vulnerability of the workforce. Where necessary, we conduct supplier audits and request evidence of labour standards, recruitment practices, and workplace protections. If a concern is identified, we expect immediate corrective action, and we reserve the right to suspend or terminate the relationship where issues are not resolved satisfactorily.

Policies and Controls

Our internal policies prohibit any form of modern slavery or human trafficking in employment practices and commercial dealings. We require managers and relevant staff to act responsibly when selecting suppliers, reviewing contracts, or overseeing outsourced work. The Perivale Storage slavery statement is supported by due diligence measures designed to reduce risk and strengthen accountability. We also encourage open communication across the business so that potential warning signs can be identified early.

Training and awareness are important parts of our prevention strategy. Employees involved in procurement, operations, and management are expected to understand the indicators of exploitation and the importance of ethical sourcing. By improving awareness, we help ensure that the Perivale Storage modern slavery statement is not only a formal document but a practical commitment reflected in day-to-day decisions.

Our supplier audits may include document checks, labour practice reviews, and confirmation that subcontractors are managed appropriately. We look for evidence that workers are paid fairly, work voluntarily, and have access to safe conditions. When necessary, we ask suppliers to explain how they prevent abuse in recruitment, transport, accommodation, or onboarding processes. This helps us strengthen oversight across the supply chain and reinforces our expectation of lawful and ethical conduct.

Reporting and Concerns

Perivale Storage encourages anyone connected to our business to raise concerns if they suspect exploitation, coercion, or other unethical behaviour. Reporting channels are available through established internal routes, and concerns are handled seriously, confidentially, and without retaliation. We want workers, contractors, and colleagues to feel confident that issues will be investigated promptly and fairly. This reporting framework supports our wider Perivale Storage anti-slavery commitment and helps protect vulnerable individuals.

Where a concern is raised, we assess the facts, consider the level of risk, and decide on appropriate next steps. These may include requesting corrective measures, increasing monitoring, revisiting contractual terms, or ending a commercial relationship if required. We recognise that a strong modern slavery policy at Perivale Storage depends on practical action, not just written commitments. As such, we treat every report as an opportunity to improve our controls and reinforce ethical standards.

We also keep records of concerns, audits, and supplier assessments to monitor progress over time. These records help us identify trends, strengthen procurement procedures, and ensure that any recurring risks are addressed consistently. Our focus remains on prevention, transparency, and accountability throughout the organisation and across the supply chain.

Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains relevant, effective, and aligned with our business activities. The review considers any changes in legislation, supply chain risk, operational structure, or identified concerns from the previous year. We use this process to update controls, improve training, and enhance our supplier oversight where needed.

The annual review also allows us to measure the effectiveness of our zero-tolerance approach and confirm that our response mechanisms continue to work in practice. If we identify gaps, we will take proportionate action to address them and prevent recurrence. Our aim is continuous improvement, ensuring that Perivale Storage modern slavery prevention remains an active and visible part of our corporate responsibility.

Perivale Storage is committed to acting ethically, protecting human rights, and maintaining robust safeguards against modern slavery in every area of our business. Through supplier audits, clear reporting channels, and yearly review, we aim to uphold the highest standards of conduct and contribute to a fairer, more responsible supply chain.
