Modern Slavery Statement for Boundsgreen Storage

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the commitment of Boundsgreen Storage to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour, and any other form of exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can take many forms and may appear in direct business activities, outsourced services, or the wider supplier network. Our approach is grounded in respect for human rights, lawful conduct, and ethical business practice.

Boundsgreen Storage maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward slavery and trafficking in every part of the business. This policy applies to employees, contractors, agency workers, suppliers, and all business partners. We expect all parties to act with integrity and to comply with applicable labour laws, employment standards, and safe working practices. Any indication of coercion, deception, restriction of movement, debt bondage, withheld wages, or unsafe treatment is treated seriously and investigated promptly.

To support this commitment, Boundsgreen Storage carries out due diligence when selecting and retaining suppliers. Our procurement decisions consider risk factors such as geography, labour practices, industry profile, and the nature of services provided. High-risk suppliers may be subject to enhanced review, document checks, and site-based supplier audits. These audits help us assess working conditions, recruitment practices, wage records, identity documents, and the presence of any warning signs associated with modern slavery.

We also expect our suppliers to maintain their own safeguards. Each supplier is required to confirm that it does not use forced, bonded, or trafficked labour and that it conducts appropriate checks on its own subcontractors. If risks are identified, we seek corrective action plans, increased monitoring, or termination of the relationship where necessary. This layered approach strengthens the resilience of the Boundsgreen Storage supply chain and reinforces accountability across every level of operation.

Awareness and reporting are central to prevention. All workers are encouraged to raise concerns without fear of retaliation. Reporting channels are designed to allow concerns about unethical conduct, unsafe labour conditions, or suspected exploitation to be raised through internal management routes and formal grievance processes. Reports are handled confidentially and are reviewed by appropriate personnel. Where concerns are credible, we investigate quickly and take proportionate action, which may include suspending engagements, escalating to senior management, or notifying authorities where required by law.

Boundsgreen Storage recognises that modern slavery risks can change over time, particularly as supply chains evolve. For that reason, our controls are not static. We review supplier performance regularly, update risk assessments, and require ongoing compliance with our standards. Training and internal guidance help relevant teams identify indicators of exploitation, strengthen procurement decisions, and apply consistent expectations when working with external parties.

Each year, Boundsgreen Storage conducts an annual review of this statement and the supporting procedures behind it. The review considers audit findings, reported concerns, supplier performance, legislative changes, and any emerging risk trends. Where needed, we revise our controls to improve oversight and strengthen prevention. This process ensures the statement remains current, effective, and aligned with our responsibility to operate ethically.

In summary, Boundsgreen Storage is committed to preventing modern slavery in all forms. Through our zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, reporting channels, and annual review, we aim to uphold dignity, transparency, and accountability throughout our business and supply chain. We will continue to improve our practices so that our storage services are supported by fair, lawful, and humane working conditions.
