Modern Slavery Statement for Redbridge Storage
At Redbridge Storage, we are committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with zero tolerance for modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour, or any form of exploitation. This statement reflects our commitment to protecting human rights across our operations and supply chains. We recognise that the storage and logistics sector can involve multiple third parties, making vigilance essential.
Our approach is built on prevention, transparency, and accountability. We expect everyone working with or for Redbridge Storage to uphold the same standards and to act in line with our values. Modern slavery is a serious crime and a grave violation of human dignity; we do not accept it in any part of our business.
We take a risk-based approach to identifying and managing potential exposure to modern slavery. This includes reviewing the nature of the services we procure, the regions in which suppliers operate, and the labour practices associated with subcontractors. Redbridge Storage seeks to engage only with suppliers who demonstrate ethical employment practices, fair wages, lawful working hours, and safe working conditions.
Supplier Due Diligence and Audits
Supplier assessment is a key part of our modern slavery controls. Before entering into new arrangements, we expect relevant suppliers to confirm compliance with applicable labour laws and to support our standards through contractual commitments. Where appropriate, we require evidence of policies, employment checks, training, and worker protections.
We also conduct supplier audits on a scheduled and risk-based basis. These audits may include document reviews, site inspections, and follow-up action plans where issues are identified. If a supplier is unable or unwilling to address concerns, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate the relationship. This reflects our strict zero-tolerance policy for any form of modern slavery.
To strengthen oversight, we encourage suppliers to cascade these expectations to their own supply chains. Modern slavery risk can arise at multiple tiers, so we expect cooperation, openness, and prompt reporting of any potential concerns. Redbridge Storage will continue to improve due diligence processes as standards evolve.
Reporting Channels and Employee Responsibilities
We believe that anyone connected to our business should feel able to raise concerns safely. Our reporting channels allow employees, contractors, and suppliers to report suspected modern slavery issues without fear of retaliation. Concerns may be raised through internal management routes, compliance processes, or whistleblowing mechanisms established for this purpose.
All reports are treated seriously and investigated promptly and proportionately. Where required, we will take immediate steps to protect affected individuals, preserve evidence, and involve relevant authorities. Redbridge Storage prohibits victimisation of anyone who raises a concern in good faith, even if an investigation does not confirm wrongdoing.
Employees are expected to remain alert to warning signs, such as unusual restrictions on movement, signs of coercion, withheld wages, or poor accommodation linked to labour exploitation. Training and awareness-raising are used to help staff recognise risks and understand how to escalate issues appropriately.
Governance, Review, and Continuous Improvement
Modern slavery risk oversight is supported by senior management, who are responsible for reviewing the effectiveness of our controls and ensuring corrective actions are implemented. We aim to embed ethical sourcing into procurement decisions and to maintain records that demonstrate compliance and improvement over time.
Annual review is an essential part of this statement. At least once every year, we review our policies, supplier risk assessments, audit findings, training activity, and any reported concerns. This review helps us measure progress, identify gaps, and strengthen our response to emerging risks.
Through ongoing monitoring and continuous improvement, Redbridge Storage remains committed to preventing modern slavery in all forms. We will continue to uphold a culture of integrity, work collaboratively with trusted partners, and act decisively wherever risks are identified. Our goal is clear: to ensure that our business is never associated with exploitation and always reflects respect for human rights.
