Modern Slavery Statement for Selfstorage Fulham

Selfstorage Fulham is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and in full compliance with all applicable laws. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps taken to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking within our operations and across our supply chain. We recognise that zero tolerance must be more than a principle; it must shape our decisions, purchasing practices, and relationships with suppliers, contractors, and service providers.

Our business operates with a clear expectation that every worker involved in delivering our services is treated with dignity and respect. We are committed to maintaining a workplace and supply chain where exploitation has no place. The team responsible for Selfstorage Fulham is required to understand the risks associated with modern slavery and act promptly if any concern arises. We also seek to ensure that commercial pressure never overrides ethical standards.

This statement applies to all areas of our organisation, including procurement, facilities management, maintenance, cleaning, transport, and outsourced services. We expect our employees to act with integrity and to uphold our values in every transaction. Selfstorage Fulham will continue to review its practices to ensure they remain effective, transparent, and proportionate to risk.

Our Policies and Due Diligence

We operate a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery and human trafficking. Any confirmed breach, or credible evidence of abuse, may lead to immediate termination of a supplier relationship or disciplinary action. Our contracts require suppliers to comply with all relevant labour, employment, and health and safety laws, and to maintain the same ethical standards throughout their own supply chains. Ethical sourcing is an essential requirement, not an optional preference.

To support this policy, Selfstorage Fulham conducts risk-based due diligence on new and existing suppliers. This includes reviewing company credentials, assessing labour practices, and seeking assurances where higher-risk services are involved. Where appropriate, we may request supporting documentation, certifications, or evidence of workforce protections. We also reserve the right to undertake supplier audits where there is a need to verify compliance or investigate concerns.

Our audit approach is designed to identify warning signs such as withheld wages, excessive recruitment fees, restricted movement, unsafe accommodation, or signs of coercion. Findings from audits are recorded, escalated, and followed up with corrective actions where needed. Where suppliers fail to cooperate or demonstrate improvement, we will reassess the relationship. This helps ensure that the standards expected of Selfstorage Fulham are upheld beyond our direct operations.

Reporting, Training, and Responsibility

We encourage all employees, contractors, and suppliers to report any suspicion of modern slavery immediately. Reporting channels are available through internal management routes, and concerns may be raised confidentially without fear of retaliation. The organisation takes every report seriously and investigates promptly. Whistleblowing protection is fundamental to ensuring that people feel safe to speak up.

Awareness training is provided to relevant staff so they can recognise indicators of exploitation and understand how to respond. Those involved in procurement and supplier management receive additional guidance on identifying higher-risk sectors and evaluating labour practices. Selfstorage Fulham expects managers to promote a culture of accountability, where ethical conduct is reinforced through everyday decisions and clear oversight.

Responsibility for implementing this statement sits with senior management, who review policies, supplier risk, and any reported concerns. We believe that effective governance is essential to preventing exploitation. By combining staff awareness, due diligence, and supplier audits, we aim to reduce risk across our operations and maintain robust standards. In doing so, Selfstorage Fulham strengthens trust and demonstrates its commitment to responsible business.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This modern slavery statement will be reviewed annually to ensure it remains current, effective, and aligned with evolving legal and operational requirements. Each review will consider any incidents raised, audit outcomes, supplier performance, and changes in risk profile. Where necessary, we will update our policies, training, and monitoring procedures to improve our response.

Selfstorage Fulham is committed to continuous improvement and to strengthening safeguards over time. We understand that preventing modern slavery requires vigilance, informed action, and a willingness to challenge poor practice. By maintaining zero tolerance, using targeted supplier audits, supporting secure reporting channels, and completing an annual review, we aim to uphold the highest ethical standards in all that we do.
