Modern Slavery Statement for Fulham Storage

Fulham Storage is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the principles and actions we apply to help prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitative working practices across our operations and supply chains.

We recognise that storage and logistics services may involve multiple suppliers, contractors, and service partners. For that reason, our approach is based on prevention, accountability, and continuous improvement. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery and expect the same standard from everyone who works with or for Fulham Storage.

Our policy applies to all employees, agency workers, contractors, and suppliers. We require ethical labour practices, lawful recruitment, fair pay, and freedom from coercion. Any breach of this expectation is treated as a serious matter and may result in corrective action, suspension of business, or termination of the relationship where necessary.

Governance and Risk Management

Responsibility for overseeing modern slavery controls sits with senior management, who review risk indicators and ensure that appropriate safeguards remain in place. We use a risk-based approach to identify areas where labour exploitation may be more likely, including outsourced services, cleaning, maintenance, transport, warehousing, and temporary labour arrangements.

Supplier audits form a key part of our due diligence programme. Where relevant, we assess suppliers through questionnaires, document checks, and on-site or remote audits. These reviews help us understand recruitment practices, worker welfare, wage records, identity verification processes, and the use of subcontractors. If concerns are identified, we request corrective action plans and monitor progress.

We also encourage suppliers to carry out their own checks within their supply chains. Fulham Storage expects suppliers to maintain transparent records, cooperate with investigations, and avoid any business relationships that may contribute to exploitation. This shared responsibility helps strengthen our ethical standards and reduce hidden risk.

Training, Awareness, and Reporting

Employees involved in procurement, contract management, and supplier oversight receive guidance on recognising warning signs, such as restriction of movement, confiscation of documents, intimidation, or unusual recruitment fees. Awareness is important because modern slavery can be hidden behind legitimate business activity and may be difficult to detect without informed oversight.

We provide clear reporting channels so that concerns can be raised safely and in good faith. Reports may be made through line managers, designated senior personnel, or internal escalation routes. All concerns are handled seriously, investigated appropriately, and treated with discretion. No one will suffer retaliation for raising a genuine concern.

Confidentiality is respected wherever possible, and issues are reviewed promptly to determine the appropriate next steps. If a case requires external escalation, we cooperate fully with relevant authorities and support any lawful investigation. This approach reinforces a culture in which ethical conduct is expected and concerns are addressed without delay.

Monitoring, Review, and Continuous Improvement

Fulham Storage understands that modern slavery risks can change over time as operations evolve and supplier networks expand. For that reason, this statement and the underlying controls are reviewed annually. The review considers audit findings, reported concerns, supplier performance, legal developments, and any areas where additional safeguards may be needed.

Where we identify opportunities to improve, we update our procedures, strengthen training, and refine our supplier requirements. We also use lessons learned from incidents, near misses, and due diligence activity to improve the effectiveness of our response. This ongoing process supports a more resilient and responsible organisation.

Fulham Storage remains committed to preventing exploitation in all forms and to promoting ethical business practices throughout our operations. By combining clear policies, supplier audits, reporting channels, and annual review, we aim to uphold our responsibilities and contribute to the wider effort to eliminate modern slavery.
