Modern Slavery Statement for St Pancras Storage
St Pancras Storage is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. 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. We recognise that modern slavery can affect industries across the UK and globally, and we accept our responsibility to act decisively. Our zero-tolerance policy applies to every level of our organisation, from recruitment and procurement to subcontracting and supplier relationships.
We expect all employees, contractors, and business partners to uphold the same standards. St Pancras Storage prohibits any practice that involves coercion, deception, debt bondage, child labour, or the withholding of wages and documents. Our approach is grounded in prevention, detection, and continuous improvement. We aim to protect vulnerable workers and to ensure that our business does not contribute, directly or indirectly, to modern slavery within any part of its operations.
Our Policy and Governance
Our modern slavery policy is reviewed by senior management and embedded into our wider ethical governance framework. It is supported by internal procedures covering recruitment checks, contractor onboarding, and procurement controls. We require staff to act with vigilance and to raise concerns where risks appear. Training is provided where needed so that those involved in hiring, supplier selection, and site management understand the warning signs of exploitation. This helps ensure our slavery statement remains practical, relevant, and effective.
We also maintain a clear expectation that suppliers comply with applicable labour, immigration, and employment laws. Where risks are identified, we may request corrective action, additional evidence, or further assurances. In serious cases, we may suspend or terminate the relationship. Our commitment to ethical practice is not symbolic; it is an operational standard that informs decisions across the business. By applying these controls, we strengthen the integrity of the St Pancras Storage supply chain.
Supplier audits are an important part of our due diligence. Depending on the nature of the supplier relationship, audits may include document reviews, labour practice checks, site visits, and follow-up assessments. We use a risk-based approach, focusing on suppliers and service providers where exposure to modern slavery may be higher. Audit findings are recorded, monitored, and addressed through corrective plans where necessary. This process helps us identify weaknesses early and reinforce responsible conduct throughout our supply network.
Where appropriate, we also ask suppliers to confirm their own anti-slavery controls, including worker protections, grievance procedures, and subcontractor oversight. We expect them to share our commitment to lawful and ethical labour practices. If a supplier cannot meet these expectations, we take steps to reduce risk, which may include closer monitoring or ending the relationship. This reinforces our position that the St Pancras Storage modern slavery statement is backed by meaningful action.
Reporting, Monitoring, and Review
We encourage anyone connected with our business to report concerns about modern slavery or unethical conduct. Reporting channels are designed to allow issues to be raised safely and in confidence, and concerns may be escalated through internal management routes or formal whistleblowing procedures. Reports are treated seriously and investigated promptly. We do not permit retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith, and we seek to protect the dignity and security of all individuals involved.
Our monitoring process supports prompt response and remediation. If a concern is substantiated, we work to address the immediate risk, improve controls, and prevent recurrence. This may involve revising procedures, increasing oversight, or retraining responsible teams. Our objective is not only compliance, but also a culture in which ethical conduct is normal and expected. We believe that a strong anti-slavery framework depends on consistent attention, clear accountability, and active management commitment.
Every year, St Pancras Storage completes an annual review of its modern slavery measures. This review considers policy effectiveness, supplier risk, audit outcomes, incident trends, and any changes in legal or operational risk. Findings are used to update our controls and strengthen our response for the following year. 
Through this annual review, we ensure our modern slavery statement remains current, credible, and aligned with our zero-tolerance stance. We are committed to continual improvement and to taking practical steps that help eliminate exploitation from our business and supply chains.
