Modern Slavery Statement for Hendon Storage
Hendon 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 modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and all forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chains. Our zero-tolerance policy applies to every part of the business, and we expect the same commitment from everyone who works with us.
We recognise that modern slavery can occur in many forms and can affect workers at different levels of a supply chain. For that reason, Hendon Storage maintains clear standards for recruitment, labour practices, and supplier conduct. We do not accept any arrangement that involves coercion, debt bondage, child labour, withheld identity documents, or other abusive practices. Any breach of these standards is treated as a serious matter.
Our approach begins with due diligence. We assess suppliers before engagement and review higher-risk relationships more closely, especially where labour is sourced through subcontractors or third parties. Supplier audits are an important part of this process. These audits may include document checks, worker interviews where appropriate, and reviews of employment terms, wage records, and working conditions. Where concerns are identified, we require corrective action and monitor progress carefully.
Policies, Training, and Accountability
We support our policy through internal training and management oversight. Staff involved in procurement, onboarding, and supplier management are expected to understand the indicators of modern slavery and how to respond if a concern arises. Hendon Storage encourages a culture where vigilance is part of daily decision-making, and where ethical conduct is reinforced through clear responsibilities and documented procedures.
Our contracts and supplier expectations reflect these standards. We reserve the right to suspend or end relationships with suppliers that fail to meet our requirements or that refuse to cooperate with audits or remediation plans. In this way, our storage business aims to reduce exposure to risk while supporting continuous improvement across the supply chain. The prevention of exploitation is not a one-time exercise but an ongoing duty.
Reporting concerns is essential to our framework. We provide reporting channels that allow workers, employees, and relevant stakeholders to raise issues confidentially and without fear of retaliation. Concerns may be escalated through line management, senior leadership, or designated internal reporting routes. All reports are taken seriously, reviewed promptly, and handled with discretion. Where necessary, we will investigate, protect those affected, and involve appropriate external authorities.
Risk Management and Review
We also recognise that modern slavery risk may change over time due to market conditions, sourcing models, or geographic exposure. For this reason, we keep our risk assessment process under regular review and focus additional attention on categories of goods and services that may present higher vulnerability. Our Hendon Storage modern slavery controls are designed to be practical, proportionate, and responsive to emerging concerns.
Where an issue is identified, we work with the supplier to establish a corrective action plan. This may include improving recordkeeping, revising recruitment practices, enhancing worker awareness, or strengthening oversight of subcontractors. If progress is not made, we will escalate the matter and consider ending the relationship. Our aim is not only compliance, but also meaningful prevention and ethical responsibility across the Hendon Storage supply chain.
This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains current, effective, and aligned with our business activities and legal obligations. The annual review considers audit findings, reported concerns, supplier performance, and any changes in risk profile. 
Through this process, Hendon Storage reinforces its commitment to human dignity, transparent governance, and a workplace culture free from exploitation. Our zero-tolerance policy remains central to everything we do, and we will continue to strengthen our approach year after year.
