Modern Slavery Statement for Lambeth Storage

Lambeth Storage is committed to conducting business responsibly, ethically, and with zero tolerance for modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour, or any form of exploitation. This statement sets out the principles and practices that guide our approach to preventing slavery and trafficking within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can affect many sectors, and we remain vigilant in identifying and reducing risk.

Our policy applies to all employees, contractors, agency workers, and business partners associated with Lambeth Storage. We expect everyone connected with our business to act with integrity and to uphold the highest standards of conduct. Where concerns arise, we will investigate promptly and take appropriate action, including terminating relationships where necessary. Compliance is not optional; it is a core requirement of how we operate.

We use a risk-based approach to assess vulnerability across our storage services, procurement activity, and third-party relationships. This includes evaluating the nature of the goods and services we purchase, the location of suppliers, and the labour practices of organisations in our chain. By reviewing these factors regularly, Lambeth Storage can better detect warning signs and reduce exposure to unethical practices.

Supplier due diligence is a central part of our modern slavery controls. Before engaging new suppliers, we seek assurances on labour standards, employment terms, and safeguarding practices. We may request policy documents, certifications, or written confirmations that suppliers are taking steps to prevent exploitation. Where risk is higher, we may carry out supplier audits to verify compliance and identify areas requiring improvement.

These audits may include document checks, interviews, site visits where appropriate, and reviews of subcontracting arrangements. If a supplier is unable or unwilling to meet our standards, we will work with them on a corrective plan or discontinue the relationship if the issue is serious or persistent. This approach supports a resilient and ethical Lambeth Storage modern slavery framework while promoting accountability across our supply base.

Training is another important part of prevention. Relevant staff receive guidance on how to recognise indicators of modern slavery, including unusual labour conditions, restricted movement, withholding of identity documents, or signs that workers are not free to leave employment. By increasing awareness, we strengthen our ability to act early and responsibly when concerns are identified.

We encourage a culture in which people feel safe to raise concerns. Reporting channels are available internally so that employees and associated workers can report suspected misconduct without fear of retaliation. Concerns may be reported confidentially and will be handled with sensitivity, fairness, and appropriate escalation. We treat all reports seriously, whether they relate to our own operations or to a supplier in the Lambeth Storage supply chain.

Where a report suggests possible slavery or trafficking, the matter will be investigated promptly and, where necessary, referred to the relevant authorities. We will document findings, corrective actions, and outcomes to ensure that lessons are captured and controls strengthened. This transparent response is essential to maintaining trust and protecting those who may be vulnerable.

Our leadership team is responsible for overseeing implementation of this statement and ensuring that anti-slavery measures remain embedded in day-to-day operations. Managers are expected to support due diligence, challenge poor practice, and reinforce the expectations set out in our policies. We will continue to align procurement, operations, and governance with our ethical commitments.

This statement will be reviewed annually to confirm that it remains effective, relevant, and reflective of current risks. The review will consider incidents, audit findings, supplier performance, training completion, and any changes in legislation or sector risk. Where improvements are needed, we will update our processes and strengthen safeguards.

Lambeth Storage is dedicated to continuous improvement in preventing modern slavery and supporting fair, lawful, and humane working conditions. Through robust supplier audits, clear reporting channels, a firm zero-tolerance stance, and an annual review process, we aim to uphold responsible business practices and protect human rights across our operations and supply chain.
