Modern Slavery Statement for Beckton Storage

Beckton Storage is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the measures we take to identify, prevent, and address the risks of slavery, servitude, forced labor, and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can appear in many forms, including coercion, debt bondage, deceptive recruitment, and exploitation of vulnerable workers. Our approach is based on a zero-tolerance policy, continuous vigilance, and responsible decision-making across the business.

As a storage provider, Beckton Storage understands that risk can exist within a wide range of activities, including facilities management, maintenance, transport, cleaning, procurement, and contracted services. We therefore expect our employees, contractors, and business partners to act with honesty and comply with all applicable labor laws. The principles in this statement apply to all parts of the organization and are embedded in our wider governance framework.

Our Commitment and Due Diligence

Beckton Storage maintains a zero-tolerance stance toward any form of modern slavery. Any confirmed breach of our standards may lead to corrective action, contract termination, or referral to the appropriate authorities. We do not knowingly work with suppliers or partners who fail to uphold labor rights. This commitment is reflected in our procurement processes, risk reviews, and internal controls designed to support ethical business conduct.

To reduce exposure to risk, we carry out proportionate due diligence when selecting and reviewing suppliers. This includes assessing the nature of the service provided, country or sector risk, worker recruitment practices, subcontracting arrangements, and evidence of compliance with labor standards. Where needed, we request supporting documentation and improvement plans. Supplier audits are used to verify that expected standards are being met, with attention to working hours, wages, identity documents, freedom of movement, and safe working conditions.

If concerns are identified, Beckton Storage expects prompt remediation. We work with suppliers to correct issues where improvement is possible, while remaining prepared to disengage when serious non-compliance is found. Our objective is not only to enforce standards, but also to encourage responsible practices that protect workers and strengthen the resilience of our supply chain.

Training, Reporting, and Oversight

Employees with responsibility for procurement, contract management, or supplier engagement receive guidance on spotting warning signs of exploitation and on applying our internal controls. This includes awareness of irregular recruitment fees, restricted access to personal documents, intimidation, unsafe accommodation, or unusual dependence on intermediaries. By building awareness, we help ensure that concerns are recognised early and handled appropriately.

Reporting Channels

Beckton Storage encourages anyone connected with our business to raise concerns in good faith if they suspect modern slavery or related misconduct. Reports may be made through internal management routes, safeguarding procedures, or other approved reporting channels established by the business. All reports are treated seriously, handled confidentially where possible, and investigated in line with our internal processes. We do not permit retaliation against individuals who report concerns honestly.

Where a report indicates potential criminal activity or a serious breach of standards, we escalate the matter immediately. The business will cooperate with relevant enforcement bodies and take steps to protect affected individuals. Our aim is to create a culture in which concerns can be raised early and acted upon decisively.

Beckton Storage reviews its modern slavery controls on an annual basis to ensure they remain effective and proportionate to our operations. This review considers changes in legislation, supplier risk, audit findings, training needs, and the effectiveness of our reporting procedures. It also gives us an opportunity to strengthen accountability and identify areas for improvement across the organization.

This statement reflects Beckton Storage’s ongoing commitment to ethical practice and responsible supply chain management. We will continue to improve our safeguards, reinforce our expectations, and maintain a clear modern slavery prevention framework. Through diligence, oversight, and respect for human dignity, Beckton Storage seeks to ensure that our business is operated free from exploitation and aligned with the highest standards of integrity.
