Modern Slavery Statement for Finsbury Storage

Finsbury Storage is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the actions we take to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking within our operations and supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can appear in many forms, and we maintain a zero-tolerance approach to any practice that exploits people or undermines dignity.

Our commitment applies across all areas of the business, including warehouse services, property management, procurement, maintenance, transport, and outsourced functions. We expect the same standards from every supplier, contractor, and business partner. The Finsbury Storage modern slavery policy is embedded in our governance framework and supported by staff awareness, due diligence, and continuous improvement.

We require all relevant suppliers to confirm compliance with our ethical standards before appointment and during the relationship. This includes reviewing labour practices, recruitment methods, and working conditions. Supplier audits are carried out on a risk-based schedule, with higher-risk categories receiving increased scrutiny. Where concerns are identified, we investigate promptly and require corrective action or, where necessary, terminate the relationship.

Governance and Risk Management

Our approach to modern slavery prevention is supported by senior management oversight and clear internal accountability. We assess risk at the point of supplier onboarding and throughout contract management, paying particular attention to sectors and geographies where labour exploitation may be more prevalent. The Finsbury Storage slavery statement is reviewed against emerging legal requirements, industry expectations, and operational changes to ensure it remains effective.

Training is provided to employees involved in procurement, facilities, and supplier management so they can recognise warning signs such as withheld wages, restricted movement, document retention, or signs of coercion. Staff are encouraged to challenge unusual labour arrangements and to escalate any concerns immediately. This helps strengthen the Finsbury Storage anti-slavery commitment across day-to-day decision-making.

We also require suppliers to maintain appropriate records, confirm lawful employment practices, and cooperate with compliance checks. If a supplier is unable or unwilling to meet our expectations, we will work with them to address deficiencies where appropriate. However, if serious breaches are found, our zero-tolerance policy means we will take decisive action, including ending the business relationship.

Reporting Channels and Monitoring

We encourage anyone connected with our business to raise concerns about suspected modern slavery or unethical labour practices. Reports can be made through internal management routes and compliance escalation channels, and all concerns are treated seriously and handled confidentially where possible. No person raising a genuine concern should suffer retaliation. This reporting framework supports the wider Finsbury Storage modern slavery controls and helps us identify risks early.

We monitor the effectiveness of our controls by tracking completed audits, corrective actions, training participation, and the number and nature of concerns raised. Supplier performance is reviewed regularly, and repeated non-compliance may result in suspension or removal from our approved supplier base. These measures are intended to reinforce accountability and protect people throughout the Finsbury Storage supply chain.

We believe vigilance is essential. Modern slavery risks can evolve quickly, especially where subcontracting, temporary labour, or complex sourcing arrangements are involved. Our managers are expected to remain alert to risk indicators and to support a culture in which ethical concerns are addressed without delay. This proactive stance is central to our Finsbury Storage responsible sourcing approach.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement and the controls that support it are reviewed annually to ensure they remain suitable, proportionate, and effective. The annual review considers audit outcomes, supplier performance, training needs, incident trends, and any changes in legislation or business activity. Where improvements are identified, action plans are agreed and monitored through to completion.

Continuous Improvement Priorities

• Strengthen supplier due diligence for higher-risk categories.
• Expand modern slavery awareness among relevant teams.
• Refine audit criteria and follow-up processes.
• Review reporting channels to ensure accessibility and trust.

Finsbury Storage recognises that eliminating modern slavery requires sustained attention, honest scrutiny, and practical action. By maintaining rigorous supplier audits, clear reporting channels, an uncompromising zero-tolerance policy, and a disciplined annual review process, we aim to uphold the highest standards of ethical conduct. This statement reflects our ongoing commitment to protecting human rights and conducting business responsibly.
