Modern Slavery Statement for Selfstorage Pimlico
Selfstorage Pimlico is committed to conducting business responsibly, ethically, and with integrity. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps taken by Selfstorage Pimlico to prevent slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and other forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can take many forms and may be hidden within complex business arrangements. For that reason, our approach is based on vigilance, accountability, and continuous improvement. Zero tolerance is central to this commitment, and it applies to all employees, contractors, agency workers, and suppliers associated with Selfstorage Pimlico.
Our zero-tolerance policy means that no person working for or on behalf of Selfstorage Pimlico may engage in, condone, or ignore any activity linked to modern slavery. We expect the same standard from every supplier and business partner. To support this, we assess the risk of labour abuse in our operations, particularly where third-party labour, cleaning, maintenance, logistics, or outsourced services are involved. Any concern is treated seriously and escalated without delay. We also ensure that employment practices within our own business remain fair, lawful, and transparent, with appropriate checks on right-to-work documentation and working conditions.
Supplier due diligence is a key element of the Selfstorage Pimlico approach. Before engagement, suppliers are screened against risk factors such as sector, geography, and use of subcontractors. Higher-risk relationships may be subject to more detailed review, including evidence of labour standards, recruitment practices, and policies relating to modern slavery. Where appropriate, supplier audits may include document checks, site visits, and interviews to confirm that workers are treated fairly and are free from coercion, debt bondage, or withheld wages. If a supplier fails to meet our expectations, we reserve the right to require corrective action or end the relationship.
Reporting channels are essential to identifying and addressing concerns early. Selfstorage Pimlico encourages employees, contractors, and suppliers to raise any suspicion of abuse, exploitation, or unethical labour practices. Reports may be made through management, designated supervisors, or internal safeguarding procedures. Concerns are handled confidentially and, where possible, anonymously. No individual who raises a genuine concern in good faith will suffer retaliation or disadvantage. We believe that an open culture is one of the strongest protections against modern slavery, because it allows warning signs to be recognised and acted upon promptly.
Training and awareness support our anti-slavery programme. Relevant staff receive guidance on recognising indicators of coercion, unsafe recruitment practices, restricted movement, or unusual debt-related vulnerabilities. This helps Selfstorage Pimlico respond consistently and responsibly when issues arise. We also maintain record-keeping processes so that supplier reviews, concerns, investigations, and corrective actions can be tracked clearly. If an incident is identified, we will work with appropriate experts and authorities where necessary, while keeping the safety and dignity of affected individuals at the centre of our response. The business treats modern slavery as a serious safeguarding matter, not merely a compliance exercise.
Annual review ensures that this statement remains effective and relevant. Each year, Selfstorage Pimlico reviews its policy, supplier controls, training activity, and any reported issues to identify improvements. This review considers changes in risk, legislation, business structure, and supplier arrangements. Where weaknesses are found, we update our procedures and strengthen oversight. 
The annual process also reinforces management responsibility, ensuring that modern slavery prevention remains a standing priority rather than a one-time declaration. We are committed to measurable progress and to learning from every review cycle.
By maintaining a zero-tolerance policy, applying proportionate supplier audits, promoting clear reporting channels, and carrying out an annual review, Selfstorage Pimlico aims to uphold the highest standards of ethical conduct. 
This statement reflects our ongoing commitment to preventing exploitation and protecting human rights across our business and supply chains. Through diligence, transparency, and responsible oversight, Selfstorage Pimlico will continue to strengthen its protections against modern slavery and ensure that respect for people remains at the core of what we do.
