Modern Slavery Statement for Cambridgeheath Storage

Cambridgeheath 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, forced labour, servitude, and human trafficking within our operations and supply chain. As a responsible storage provider, Cambridgeheath Storage recognises that the risk of exploitation can exist in many sectors, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of abuse, coercion, or unlawful labour practices.

Our approach is built on clear governance, ethical conduct, and regular oversight. We require employees, contractors, and business partners to uphold the same standards that apply to Cambridgeheath Storage. All procurement decisions are made with due diligence in mind, and we expect suppliers to demonstrate lawful employment practices, fair wages, and safe working conditions. These commitments form a core part of the Cambridgeheath Storage modern slavery programme and guide how we assess risk across our operations.

We provide structured training to relevant staff so they can identify warning signs such as restricted movement, withheld documents, unsafe accommodation, or unusual control over workers. In addition, procurement and operations teams are instructed to escalate concerns immediately. Any credible indication of exploitation is investigated without delay, and where appropriate, we work with external authorities or specialist advisers to ensure action is taken.

A key part of our prevention strategy is supplier due diligence. Before engaging new suppliers, Cambridgeheath Storage evaluates their labour practices, compliance history, and reputation for ethical conduct. We use contractual clauses that require suppliers to confirm adherence to applicable anti-slavery laws and to notify us of any material breach. Where risk is higher, we conduct supplier audits and request supporting evidence such as payroll records, right-to-work controls, and subcontractor lists.

These audits are proportionate to the level of risk and may include document reviews, site visits, and interviews with management. If a supplier is unable to meet our standards, we require a corrective action plan with clear deadlines. Persistent or serious failures may result in suspension or termination of the relationship. By applying consistent scrutiny, Cambridgeheath Storage seeks to reduce the likelihood of exploitative practices in its supply chain.

Our reporting channels are designed to ensure concerns can be raised safely and in good faith. Employees and stakeholders may report suspected misconduct through internal management routes, compliance teams, or designated whistleblowing procedures. Reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled as confidentially as possible. We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a concern, and we encourage early reporting to help protect vulnerable workers.

In addition to internal reporting, we expect suppliers to maintain their own accessible channels for workers and subcontractors so issues can be raised without fear. This helps create a culture where exploitation is more likely to be detected and addressed. Our expectations are reinforced through onboarding, contract terms, and periodic communications reminding partners of their obligations under the Cambridgeheath Storage modern slavery statement.

Annual review is central to the effectiveness of this policy. Each year, Cambridgeheath Storage reviews its approach to slavery and human trafficking, including supplier risk profiles, audit findings, training completion, reported concerns, and any remediation actions taken. This review allows us to identify emerging risks, strengthen controls, and update procedures where needed.

The outcome of the annual review is used to refine our priorities for the following year, ensuring our response remains practical, proportionate, and effective. Through ongoing vigilance, accountable leadership, and a clear zero-tolerance policy, Cambridgeheath Storage remains committed to preventing modern slavery and maintaining ethical standards throughout its business and supply chain.
