Modern Slavery Statement for Marylebone Storage

Marylebone Storage is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with zero tolerance for modern slavery in any form. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to identify, prevent, and address risks of forced labour, human trafficking, debt bondage, child labour, and other exploitative practices within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that the storage and logistics sector may involve diverse suppliers, contractors, and service providers, and we therefore maintain clear expectations for lawful and fair working practices.

Our approach is grounded in respect for human rights and compliance with applicable legislation. As part of the Marylebone Storage modern slavery commitment, we require all employees and business partners to act with integrity and to report any concerns promptly. We aim to create a culture where exploitation is neither hidden nor accepted, and where vigilance is embedded in everyday decision-making.

We also acknowledge that modern slavery risks can arise in extended supply chains, including cleaning, security, transport, maintenance, packaging, and procurement services. For that reason, the Marylebone Storage slavery policy is designed to support early detection, due diligence, and decisive action when risks are identified.

Governance and Supplier Oversight

Marylebone Storage applies a zero-tolerance policy to all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. This standard applies to recruitment practices, wages, working hours, and the treatment of workers throughout our business relationships. Any breach may result in immediate review, corrective action, suspension, or termination of the relationship where necessary.

To strengthen assurance, we carry out supplier audits and risk-based assessments. These audits may include document reviews, site visits, and checks on employment practices, depending on the nature of the supplier and the level of risk involved. Suppliers are expected to confirm that they do not use forced labour, retain identity documents unlawfully, or charge workers recruitment fees that could contribute to exploitation.

Where concerns are identified, we seek remediation first when appropriate and safe to do so, while keeping the welfare of affected individuals at the centre of our response. The Marylebone Storage anti-slavery framework also encourages suppliers to cascade equivalent standards to their own subcontractors, helping us build a more transparent and accountable supply chain.

Reporting, Training, and Review

Employees, contractors, and suppliers are encouraged to raise concerns through designated reporting channels, including line management, senior leadership, and internal escalation routes. All reports are treated seriously and handled with discretion. We prohibit retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith, and we take protective steps where needed to safeguard the person reporting and any potentially affected worker.

Training and awareness are important parts of our modern slavery response. Relevant staff receive guidance on spotting warning signs, understanding risk indicators, and responding appropriately to suspected exploitation. This helps reinforce our commitment to ethical sourcing and responsible operations across Marylebone Storage.

The effectiveness of this statement and the associated controls is reviewed annually. During the annual review, we assess risks, audit findings, reported concerns, supplier performance, and any changes in legislation or operational structure. Improvements identified through the review are used to update our procedures and strengthen the Marylebone Storage modern slavery policy.

Marylebone Storage will continue to improve its controls, deepen supplier engagement, and maintain a clear stance against exploitation. By upholding ethical labour standards, conducting proportionate audits, supporting open reporting, and reviewing our progress every year, we aim to ensure our business remains aligned with the highest standards of responsibility and respect for human dignity.
